Where can I find some affordable petite pants and jeans?

I am a 38 year old mother and I would really like to freshen up my wardrobe. I am 5 feet even and wear a size 8-10 bottom and medium top. I am looking to find some petite pants and jeans that don’t look like they are made for a 15 year old girl’s shape (why do they assume that because you are short you also are slim?!) I am on a budget and I really don’t have time nor the skill to sew. HELP!
I have the same problem! I’m 5’2" and tired of buying pants that are too long and hemming them. And not all stores sell petite sizes. My favorite store (Target) doesn’t.
I just shopped for jeans a couple days ago. Lee makes decent jeans in petite sizes. I’ve bought Cherokee and Chic jeans before that fit well. Right now I’m wearing Gloria Vanderbilt jeans, which are made in a nice petite size in stretch denim, but their sizes are off a little. I had to buy the next larger size (grrrrr!), but I do like these jeans. They’re comfy, and don’t look like "mom pants", but they fit my shape. I’m in my late 40′s, so I’m not a skinny little girl any more.
Good luck, and keep looking!
try wetseal or charlotte russe. they are pretty affordable and they seem to fit me. I’m not 38 but I do have trouble finding jeans/pants and those stores seem to work for me.
good luck.
