    2008

    Leanne modeling Lee Jeans.  I'm no model, however, sorry to disappoint.If you could just hold off on the laughter for a moment (yes, I can hear you way over here), I’ll explain why I’m sharing this ridiculous photo of me modeling a pair of Lee Jeans that I have photoshopped SO much you would NEVER be able to pick me out in a crowd. (haha. I kid. No, I don’t kid about the thinify tool, but about most other things, I kid.)

    Hahaha! Okay stop laughing, I said.

    Last year, I lost a whopping 20′ish pounds strictly eating core foods from the WW core food list. Of course, in standard girly girl fashion, I went shopping. I tried on a pair of Lee Jeans. I loved ‘em. I even wrote about them.

    Fast forward to this year. It’s jean season again, and I’m just a smidge frustrated that uh, well, my jeans from last fall don’t fit so good.

    :sorry:

    I would say that’s cool, cause I get to go shopping again, but honestly? I’d rather save my money for a personal trainer and a fridge full of core food.

    Heaven must have heard that.

    I woke up one morning to an e-mail with an offer to try out a pair of Lee Jeans. All I needed to do was pick out a style and a size. Seriously? How often does this happen? Not often enough, I say! Here’s the cool thing – now it can happen to you!

    I’ve been given 10 pair – yes TEN PAIR of jeans to give away. The style I chose is a little hip because I wanted to try something different. The wrap waist, button pockets and low rise might not suit everyone, but I really dig them. The style I’m wearing is “Cristina” if you’re out and about and want to pick them up.

    In an effort to be a little more conservative with the jeans I chose to put up for grabs, however, I’ve selected a more traditional style for ten lucky winners:

    FOR THE GALS:
    Lee one true fit jeans

    The One True Fit premium bootcut comes in four different washes: Union Blue, Blackdigo, Shadow Blue, and Galaxy blue. Union and Blackdigo are darker and Shadow and Galaxy are more of what you think of when you think “blue jeans.” These are available in sizes from 2-16, short, medium or long. The plus size scale ranges from 16w to 26w, available in short or medium. For this jean, there is also a petite scale from 2-16.

    UPDATE!

    Lee Jeans is happy to accommodate the guys, as well. Here are the jeans that you boys will get if you should be drawn as a winner:


    FOR THE GUYS:

    Lee’s custom fit for men – relaxed seat & thigh, straight leg jean. Colors available are Medium Stone (denim color), Vintage Dark, and Shadow (black).

    These are the jeans I’ve chosen for ten of you.

    Want to enter to win a pair? Leave a comment. Want to increase your chances? Here are a few ways to do that:

    1. One extra entry: Subscribe to my blog via e-mail or via RSS. (if you’re already subscribed, THANK YOU! You will need to choose another method to earn extra entries.)
    2. One extra entry: Share it on twitter, facebook or another social networking site. (leaving comments on other blogs is great, but will not result in additional entries.)
    3. Two extra entries: Mention it on your blog and link back here.

    Please leave a separate comment for each extra entry, as I’ll draw using random numbers from comments.

    Drawing will be held December 1st. Good luck!!

    How very cool! So you wrote about how much you loved your Lee jeans and they found you because of that? Great! I think it’s wonderful that businesses are appreciating blogs as a way to get the word out about their products.

    I love Lee jeans too. They are the brand that fit me the best.

    Thanks for the neat blog contest Leanne!

    I’m usually a Levi’s girl. However, during the summer I went to buy a pair of jeans, they don’t have then anywhere that I can find. When I finally found a Men’s pair, in my size, too small! WTF? I had to buy a bigger pair and then feel crappy about it. I got home and I pulled out all my Levis and guess what? They are all the same size but fit totally different by country of origin! Again, WTF?

    I finally bought a pair of Lee capri pants. I Love Them! I haven’t tried the jeans yet but I am going to look at some this weekend.

    Thanks for the chance to win a pair of jeans. My husband always makes fun of me for entering every friggin’ contest that I pass in a store. What can I say, I’m a sucker for “free”.
    You do look great in those jeans, by the way. I really like that style. Good luck with the giveaway. Have a nice weekend too.

    Leanne you look so good! I hate to say this, but because of mmy intestinal problems (Krone’s disease and Colitis) I have the opposite problem. I have 2 seprate sets of jeans, one for when I’m healthy and one for when I have flare ups, at which time I lose lots of weight (like 20 lbs and at 110 lbs, I look so aweful!). It’s always nice to have a few extra pair of jeans! I hope this all goes well, andf good luck to everyone!

    HI! After this weekend when a little dab of bleach that I had used to clean and forgotten to remove from the fabric softener in the WM, I find that I could use a new pair of jeans as well as a few tops to go with them… so, if you happen to have a contest with tops that fit – not these skinny dumb fitted things (who wants their rolls to show….), I’ll be in that too!!!
    Lots of love!!

    :thanku:

    if i win, the jeans go towards two good purposes, first they will be given as a gift to someone deserving, and second, I will do a write up about where I got the jeans, how well they were made, ETC on several article databases and social networking sites…

    i’d wear them myself, but normal sized cloths, even petites, are still too long for me and never fit right…

    I hope I win!
