wanted to tell you I love your blog so very much!
I stumbled upon it
right about the time of your magical Vigoss jeans discovery.
I almost
did not get them because they were distressed, but I did, and you were
100% right.
They are fantastic!
I bought them for my daughter as well
and she loves them too.
They are comfy and don’t stretch. However when
I wear them I sometimes wish they weren’t distressed so that I could
wear them to work. Well, have you seen the new ones on the site? You
probably have or have seen them in person, but I believe this pair is
almost the same but they are a “clean” cropped version. Could my dream
have come true? I want them to be the same so badly! I think they are a
couple of inches shorter according to the measurements, but I think
they are similar otherwise. I am going to pull the trigger on them
soon! This might be a good option for those who missed out or who are
leery of the distressing.
you for all of your time and attention to detail on your blog!
enjoyed getting to love my closet full of clothes again!
Lisa had spotted online and mentioned to me.
They are totally like the distressed pair we are all obsessed with, except they aren’t distressed.
These jeans fit perfectly, and I absolutely love the cuff at the bottom.
(These jeans are the #2 jeans in the collage below.)
What?
For size reference, I am a size 4 right now in Loft and Gap, and I wore a 27 in each of these jeans.
(There
is also another pair of boot cut jeans that weren’t in the store, but
they have a pocket that is embroidered. If you like an embroidered
pocket, you will love THESE.)
You guys…I don’t have a good butt…..and these make my butt look good! Right?
They are so flattering from behind!
(These jeans are the #1 jeans in the collage below.)
(These jeans are the #3 jeans in the collage below.)
I already had the distressed cuff pair found HERE (that I bought on sale for $38 about 2 months ago).
If you never got the first pair of jeans, now is the time to score one of the other pairs.
And if you did get the first pair, I feel CERTAIN that you are getting another pair of these jeans because you are now a believer in the Vigoss brand.
The sale could end tomorrow, it could end a
month from now. Nordstrom guards that type of information closely and
usually won’t tell you when a sale is going to start or be over.***
Here are pictures of the jeans side by side.
Remember if you are trying to decide what jeans you want, you can look in the collages at the top of the post if you need a closer look at #1-3.
Also, I’ve received lots of e-mails lately about how your closest Nordstrom is like 2 hours away.
First of all, I would like to offer my deepest condolences. 🙁
Secondly, I would like to let you know (in case you didn’t) that Nordstrom has FREE shipping and FREE returns. Even if your order is only $10!
And they have THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE ON EARTH.
No lie.
So, don’t be afraid to order things before trying them on.
Always read the reviews (if there are any) before buying an item and pay close attention to
the size tips!
Then, place your order.
The risk is minimal since the return is free!
It’s from Nordstrom too, so you can just throw it in your cart with the jeans right now.
However, the striped one that I have on above is not available online at this time.
Don’t know why, and the lady at Nordstrom didn’t know either.
(I actually have the 1-800 Nordstrom number saved on my phone. Is anybody surprised?)
However, you can get any other color under the rainbow.
It is greatness.
And check out the reviews!
187 near perfect reviews!!!!!
Click HERE for the cardigan.
It’s a great piece for an even better price!
(For size reference, I have on the small cardigan in all of the pictures. They didn’t have an x-small, but I think that would have been fine too.
Size tips in the reviews say to size down a size if between sizes.)
And just in case anybody wants to know 🙂 …
Click HERE for the necklace in the pictures.
Click HERE for the bracelet.
Click HERE for the MUST HAVE wedges in the pictures.
And in closing,
I would like to say again that I really do carefully consider what I’m going to name a MUST HAVE.
These jeans were really a no brainer for me.
I wanted to name the first pair I bought a MUST HAVE, but I hesitated since they were distressed.
Even though they were some of the best fitting and most flattering jeans I’d ever had on, I thought the fact that they were distressed might make them less desirable to the general public (even though I personally loved the distressed look).
So, as soon as I knew there was a non-distressed pair that became available (thanks again for the e-mail Lisa), I was fairly certain I would be naming them a MUST HAVE,
but I obviously wanted to try them on first.
As soon as I put them on yesterday, I knew I would be blogging them today!
And then I put on the boot cut pair and was freaking out because I loved them too.
BUY THESE JEANS.
BUY 2 PAIRS.
HECK, BUY 3 PAIRS.
We won’t judge.
🙂
(Just think about how buying 3 pairs would still be less than buying 1 pair of designer jeans!
And you would get 3 distinct styles!)
I’ll see you back on Friday for my Bachelorette post. I’m emotionally exhausted FROM THE MOST DRAMATIC FINALE EVER and am still trying to wrap my head around what happened.
Plus, I just need an extra day to write it!
p.s.
A big “HELLO!” to a sweet reader Nicole who came up and introduced herself to me and Shay yesterday in Nordstrom.
It’s so much fun for us to meet readers!
Nicole was at Nordstrom buying a gift card for a friend for her B-day dinner last night, and she told us that all the girls meeting for dinner (including the birthday girl) all read the blogs….
so Shay and I signed the gift card! So fun!
Such a cute group of friends you girls have!
(That’s Nicole to the right of Rebecca in the turquoise shirt.)
And Rebecca, I hate to boss you on your birthday, but I am strongly suggesting you buy one of these pairs of MUST HAVE jeans with your gift card!
Have a wonderful Wednesday everybody!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂

Mix and Match Mama says
I have a rule in life that if Sheaffer names something a Must Have, I must buy it. Therefore, I'm off to order a pair of these jeans online. As for Nicole, I just loved her yesterday! She and her friends are so stinkin' cute!!
Kris says
*whispering*
I just ordered three different pairs. Don't tell the husband.
The junior sizing thing throws me off . I wear a 28…which is usually a 6. But these list 6 as a 29. I decided to do the 29, because it worked with the other Viggos (thank you mom for the genetic gift of big thighs!)…but as always thankful for the free shipping, just in case I have to start over!
Cheryl says
Shaeffer….I'm a middle aged, over weight mama…..can't fit in most of what you show…..but I'm somehow addicted to looking anyway…????…..ha, ha….I think that is because your posts are so darn fun, so energetic, so happy, so positive….they just make me smile…….I sound a little crazy, don't I?……and of course, I LOVE your Bachelor/Bachelorette recaps….you are a hoot……can't wait to see what you say about that finale….goodness gracious!!!!
Lora G says
My closest Nordstrom is over 2 hours away (in Atlanta), but when we went through there I had to go and bought all your must haves in one stop (except the shirt because the baby woke up before I could get the right size ;)). Love them all and the jeans are amazing! I am taller and bigger in the thigh and booty area than you, but they still looked great and super flattering on me, and I'll admit I was a bit skeptical! Thanks for making me excited about clothes again!!
Erica Gammon says
You are great (period). Thanks for all of these wonderful glorious must haves! Makes shopping much easier 🙂
Aileen says
Hi Sheaffer! Love your blog! Quick question for you… do you know if the cuff can be "un-cuffed" on the #2 pair? I'm tall (5'8'') and slightly worried they will be too short. Thanks for your help!
Sheaffer says
Hi Aileen! Yes! They can definitely be "un-cuffed"! I plan to uncuff mine when I want to wear them with tall boots so they won't be too lumpy inside the boot.
You will love them!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Aileen says
Yay thanks for letting me know! I usually wear the Jessica Simpson brand jeggings, but honestly, the fit is a little off (but they are affordable!). I'm excited to branch out! 🙂
Marcy Gloeckler says
I just bought 1 pair and am thinking buying a 2nd. Love your blog!! 🙂
Kellyann Rohr says
First of all Sheaffer I have a hard time believing you don't look good in every pair of jeans you put on – you are so stinkin' cute! Secondly I totally agree with you about Nordtrom's! My closest Nordies is about 40 minutes away so I tend to order what you recommend but if I'm unsure about the sizes I buy one in each size so I can compare and then I return what I don't like. Customer service is superb! And finally, Nordstrom's should have your number on speed dial. I'm waiting for them to make signs for items in the store that you recommend, a simple "Sheaffer's must haves" or "Sheaffer Says Buy It" would add to the shopping experience and give you the credit you deserve!
Julie Heath says
Goodness those boot cuts could be calling my name! All so very cute. I already have the distressed ones and couldn't be happier 🙂
Danielle says
I'm heading to Nordstom's just to get some jeans! Love all your picks and now that they're a must have I just have to get them! I love your striped top too. Is that a nordstrom's find too?
Cornelia Dodge says
Sheaffer,
I just ordered the light distressed skinnies. I missed my size in the cuffed ones, so I'm glad you did this post. I have trouble spending big $$ on jeans I feel like I might put my toe through, so the Vigoss solution is perfect!! Thank you!!
aprilparrish says
Yay, a new Must Have!!!! So excited to check these jeans out!!!! They look great on you, of course!!! 🙂
Mama Dean says
I'm also confused by their Juniors sizing even though the links fall under the "womens" category. Or…do they say Juniors but with their slightly adjusted sizing it works out for women? Just hesitant because Juniors usually signals zero curves when it comes to jeans – and I have curves.
Thanks!
Sheaffer says
Hi there! Hmmmmm…..I know lots of people are confused by the sizing. All I know is that I'm a size 4 in Loft and Gap. When I buy size 4 at those places it usually says Size 4/ 27 in the pants. So, I bought a 27 in these and they are perfect. The jeans also have stretch in them so they have some give. Hope this helps!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
clatk says
I am a 6 in Gap, Loft, etc. and ordered the the 28 & 29 to decide between in the original Vigoss. 29's were too big because I have no butt and 28's worked great! If you're questioning it, order a couple of different sizes and send one back:).
Tracy says
I thought I was done shopping and then you post this!! I love the sweater. I was looking for an oatmeal colored one, they have mocha so I may have to try that one. I have a question about the jeans…the non-distressed ones…how much shorter are they than the distressed ones you have? Does that make sense? I'm 5'8" and the distressed ones are long enough for me uncuffed. I want to have the option to wear them cuffed and uncuffed. LOVE your blog, I look forward to your post everyday!!!!
Sheaffer says
Hi Tracy! I left the store without the jeans, and then I ended up ordering them online last night, so I can't get them out to compare them right now. I didn't unroll the cuffs yesterday, so I don't know. Sorry!!!!
Tracy says
Ok, no worries. I will just order two different sizes and see which are better. I know you were talking about a lot of us not having a Nordstrom close. I don't either but love their clothes and their return policy. I have been ordering two different sizes of each item and then return the size that doesn't fit. I have done this with 4 different items now. I have to go to the post office seeing as I have some returns but at least I don't have to order twice and risking the item being sold out.
Tiffany {A Touch of Grace} says
This email made my day, and it's not even 8:00 AM PST. I have the distressed jeans, but being so tall (5'10") the distressing hits right at my knee cap, and I've already torn the hole a bit more when I sit to play with my daughter. I've been contemplating returning them (sad face), but now that I know there is a non-distressed pair I am all over it! And bootcut too! Score! Thanks so much for letting us know about all the Vigoss options Sheaffer!!
sfitzg2 says
You answered the one question I had about the distressed jeans – thank you! I'm taller too and didn't want to get these jeans if the holes lined up at my knees. I've ruined other distressed jeans because I sat on the floor and the whole thing ripped seam to seam. I just ordered the non-distressed ones 🙂
Cathy and Marshall says
Great to know! I'm a fellow tall girl (5'11"). Thanks for the input!
Alison @ Get Your Pretty On says
Um, I'm a 27 too, can we share jeans? 🙂 I love all four pairs, so hard to decide. I'd probably go with #2 if I had to pick just one. Hudson jeans are great. I like how the pockets minimize my ample booty. Just sayin'.
Anonymous says
I just ordered the boot cut ones and this will make it my 4th pair of Vigoss jeans. I have the distressed ones and love them! The other two are a couple of years old and I still wear them. They have held up very well. I also wear a 4 or 6 in pants but have to order a 29 in juniors because I have some hips 🙂 I absolutely love your striped cardigan and bummed it is no longer available. One more thing…I ordered the Kut from the Kloth boyfriend jeans and ended up returning them. They didn't fit like a normal boyfriend jean and felt they were too similar to my distressed pair of Vigoss jeans and how they fit. I like the distressed ones way more! Thanks for all of your suggestions!

Amber W. says
Thank you so much for putting up the plus size option!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE yours and Shay's blogs, read them everyday and think your guys' clothes/style is SO cute. I am a plus sized girl so I have tried to take what I've learned from you two and apply it to my plus size wardrobe and shopping options. It's a tough world out there being plus sized and finding decent fashion. I'm now in the predicament of finding cute plus sized maternity clothes (due Jan 18) which is proving to be even harder!! I'm hoping I can get down to a nice, comfortable weight after this baby and start taking advantage of your awesome must haves!!
RompinAround says
I came on here to say almost the exact same thing! I pinned the plus size jeans as they look fabulous, but I too am expecting (Jan 13th) and need to hold off on any non-maternity purchases for now.
Thanks so much, Sheaffer for the plus size love!
Mod Commonplace says
You look HOT! Seriously. Its all about the butt – if your butt doesn't look good in a pair of jeans – DON'T buy them! The only rule that matters :).
Nadine Skinner says
Geez. It is going to be about 100 degrees here today, and I just ordered two pairs of jeans (1 and 2)! 🙂
Sarah says
I think this post was perfect for me. I'll be returning my distressed ones, so sad that I bought the wrong size and now they don't have the size I need, wah! But these are great other options that I will definitely be trying to snag. I too talked to the help desk about getting the distressed ones, she said that no one had any in my size, darn. OH well, at least there are 4 other options! Which I will definitely be checking out, once this baby gets out 🙂
Thanks for find a great pair of jeans, it's always so hard to find a good pair.
Mama S says
love love lvoe that outfit!!!!

I was at Nordstrom Rack yesterday and they had a slew of Vigoss jeans. I'm not a fan of distressed so I didn't hop on the Vigoss bandwagon when you were raving about them but bought a pair yesterday and I love them! So comfy and flattering! I am generally a size 8 and tried on a 28 and 29. The 28 created a muffin top so ended up buying the 29. Fits perfectly!

The bootcuts look AMAZING on you!!!!! Go girl!!

The boot cuts look AMAZING on you! You go, girl!
Priscilla - Wheelchair Mommy/Stylish Gimp says
I guess I will have to try these out when I hit Nordstroms soon!
Katie Fitzpatrick says
Can you ask that adorable reader, Nicole, where she got her turquoise top and earrings? In love with her outfit 🙂
Thanks!
Jen Pogue says
I love your new must-have! Perfect for fall! And, that's so cool that you ran into another one of your readers at Nordstrom!!
Lauren says
I just ordered the Vigoss distressed jeans in a size I hope will fit! I can't believe you've convinced me to shop AGAIN 🙂 So excited to try them on!

Must have the striped cardigan. When I go to the store, can I use the same info as the one u gave a link for? The striped version looks longer than solid. Thanks so much! I live to layer with cute cardigans!!
DLStinedurf says
Love the clean boyfriend jeans….I'm feeling the itch to buy….ha!

Shawnee says
I admit that I am a jean snob and only wear designer jeans but y'all have convinced me to try a pair of the Vigoss. I think I'm going with the crops so that I can wear them with my tall boots in the fall I love the color of them and should be able to wear them with lots of things. 🙂
Rene's Ramblings says
Leave now and go as fast as you can to get some of these jeans! I've been wearing Vigoss jeans for a few years because they are my most favorite jeans EVER! I don't have a Nordstrom but I always get mine at Maurice's. So if you are scared of ordering online from Nordstrom which is a TINY bit silly seeing as how they always have free shipping/free returns- just go to your local Maurice's and try all of them on. I'm not for sure they have the exact pairs that Schaeffer has highlighted but believe me when I say this- they have a TON of them in both regular and plus sizes. It doesn't matter how you get them or where you get them- just please get them. That. Is. All. Rene'
Ella says
Thanks for mentioning that about Maurices!! That is my favorite store. I will definitely go and try on some Vigoss jeans next time I'm there. I see online they have 12 different kinds.
Tricia says
Went to Nordies today (in Austin, TX) even though it's a bit of a trek – like 40 minutes each way. I got another pair of Vigoss and a pair of Kut from the Kloth jeans. The Vigoss are a Thompson Tomboy skinny that the salesgirl said had just rolled in. She literally went in the back and got them for me! They have some fading in the thighs but they are not really what I consider distressed. They can be cuffed now and rolled down this fall to wear with flats or boots. The Kut from the Kloth pair is called the Ingrid Boyfriend and its a light denim – perfect for the heat here in Texas. They were on sale for 35.77 down from 79. I also saw a white must have denim jacket on sale for $52ish – can't remember the change portion – I already have the must have jacket in white and denim, but in case someone wants one – it's there. And it is the perfect little jacket 🙂
Thanks Sheaffer!
kristinwithani says
I love the boot cut on you. Makes your legs (which are amazing BTW) look crazy long!
Dangit, I may have to go try these jeans….
Jenna says
I just ordered my jeans too! I was also hesitant about the distressed, so i love these other options! how often do you wear boot cut? I just got out all:-)of my jeans ( i had a baby 9 months ago) and tried them all on to see if they would fit. (i would estimate i tried on at least 15 pair. Why do i have so many) anyway, boot cut felt so strange to put on and i wondered, are tese still in style? And yet i see them in so many stores! But i rarely see anyone wearing boot cut these days. How often do you? Do you think they are still just as cute as a straight leg or skinny jean ( even tho they are a totally different look)
Sheaffer says
I wear mine quite a bit. I do wear my skinny jeans the most, but I like to mix it up with a boot cut and a trouser jeans every once in a while! Hope this helps! (And for $48, this is a great way to add a great boot cut pair to your closet without breaking the bank!)
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
mel @ the larson lingo says
Girl, your butt looks AWESOME in those jeans!!!!! A must have for sure. I ordered the non distressed ones last week & they are so soft & comfy. A little short on my long ass legs, but rolling them again makes them look cuter. So glad you named this a must have!
Elizabeth says
Thanks so much for showing a plus size option!!!! Every woman deserves to be a fashionista!!
LauraLee says
Hi Shaeffer! Do you know anything about the vigoss jeans that Maurice's and Macy's sells online? They are completely different styles than Nordstroms…and in some cases, cheaper. I'm really curious to know if they are the sane quality and awesomeness. I tried on Vigoss boot cut at Nordstrom and it fit awesome. I've been having a hard time finding jeans that fit so good from other brands like Levis. I'm so happy you introduced me to vigoss.
Julie H. Schaal says
So many told me to's! I can't wait to shop!
Katie says
Not going to lie I have been following your blog for awhile, but was hesitant to make any purchases seeing that I am 8 months pregnant with twins! However, all that being said I am SO sick of my maternity clothes and dying over all the cute fall items you have been showing that I went ahead and ordered the Vigoss non-distressed jeans, the camo jeans from Gap, and that other fav. shirt you have been raving about lately too. I just pray I lose the baby weight quick enough to enjoy them 🙂 But thank you for the reviews!
bootcut jeans says
I love those jeans on you! You should wear them more often! They're a nice change from the skinnies you normally feature on your blog. Either way, you look beautiful regardless! Love your blog.
