Le Crop Mini Bootcut Jeans

The fabric reminds me of my DL1961 jeans (thin and stretchy). I'm 5'5" with short legs and bigger thighs, so jean shopping is hard as when I try on it never ends up looking like what it does on the models. I'm a little worried that I'll be pulling these up often. They are a little big on my waist, but I can't go down a size as they are already snug on my thighs and bootie. For reference: I got a size 27 and am 125lbs. The color isn't as washed as what shows on the model. I do like the hem as it gives the jeans a little something and the flare bottom is cute. These looked really nice with a simple cotton tee and birks.
