Petite Review: GAP Petite Denim Jeans- Size 00P

As you all may know, I have been on a perfect pair of jeans hunt for quite some time. I don't own too many pairs simply because it's just too difficult for me to find the right fit. I have one H & M young (girls) dark denim skinny jeans in size 11/12 and a few Y.M.I's from a million years ago but that's about it! I was perusing late at night on Gap.com and found a pair of skinny cropped petite jeans on sale for only $24.99 and still available in 00p.  I thought how is it possible that there is still a 00p left??  I have never had much luck with any Gap jeans but I said what the heck! Well here they are: (warning- terrible photos)



Top: Forever 21 Tank- size small
Jeans: GAP petite cropped denim - size 00p (on sale for $24.99)
Shoes: Aldo Patent Taupe Pumps- size 35

Sorry for the terrible photos- I was in a huge rush and didn't get a chance to really get the photos I wanted:(
Click below for my review!
 
SIZE/FIT: I was shocked when I opened up the package and the jeans appeared to be small! I quickly tried them on and much to my surprise, the cropped jeans in 00p is petite friendly! No gap in the back waist, and the thighs, and hips fit! The denim material is no too thick or too thin, it felt nice.  I like cropped jeans because I always end up cropping my H & M skinny jeans anyway so this is nice! You can wear them cuffed like the model or un-cuffed, I prefer un-cuffed! They even came pre-cuffed.
QUALITY: Gap Jeans in my opinion are pretty nice quality and made quite well. The stitching is very clean and straight.  They seem to be well made and I know they last forever! I have never owned a pair before but hubby has had some for years.

PRICE POINT: If you get GAP denim on sale, then the price point is low but if you pay full price, it's in the medim-higher range. It's not as expensive as high end designers but still good quality for the price.

VERDICT:Keeping! Trust me- they look much better and more flattering in person! I just did a horrible job at taking photos because of my time constraints! For $24.99 and they fit, its definitely a keeper! Not everyone is a fan of cropped pants/denim for petites because it may shorten our already short legs....any thoughts?

Here is the Forever Skinny Dark Denim jeans in 00p:

SIZE/FIT:  I had high hopes for these but they fit differently than the cropped even though both are 00p. So obviously the cut has a lot to do with the sizing of the petite Gap Denim. There is a big gap in the back - which I cannot stand! And thru the thighs and hips fit but just looks and feels funny. A little too baggy in some areas and just doesn't flow like it should. Unlike the cropped denim's- you just know instantly that it doesn't fit right. The length is a couple inches too long for my taste.  I'm curious if the straight leg skinnies may be better for my body. Any thoughts?

VERDICT:Sadly returning:( My journey continues....
