Every time I go to buy jeans, my mom thinks that they are supposed to fit baggy and come up to your belly button. I've tried to tell her that they are supposed to be low rise and tight, but she just tells me not to argue with her and gets really mad.
What can I do?
P.S.-She's the only one that will buy me jeans, so I can't get them from anyone else.

If that doesn't work, go shopping with your friends before shopping with your mom, pick out a bunch of pairs of jeans, put them on hold, and try them on for your mom. [ Notso's advice column | Ask Notso A Question ]

Tell her the baggy ones don't fit you very well, because they aren't as fitted and tight like the ones you want to get.
Tell her the quality is different as well. and the ones you want will last longer and you will get your wear out of them.
You could also go on about how it's affecting your image and you want stylish jeans as well as still being comfortable.
She's probably only doing this to protect you in a way. Maybe she doesn't want you to grow up and act like some girls she might see around who give off bad impressions.
She will come round eventually though!
Don't give up. :) [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
