For nearly a quarter of a century, Parigi Group’s stable of brands has played a major role and are some of the main contributors in helping to shape and define the children’s fashion apparel market.

With brands like Puma, DKNY, L-R-G, Phat Farm, Baby Phat, Akademkis and Apple Bottoms you are certain to find something that fits your child’s style. For me I am going to have to go with Apple Bottoms.

Apple Bottoms is inspired by world renowned rapper Nelly & in the essence & uniqueness of Apple Bottoms by Nelly Juniors apparel, Apple Bottoms Girls exudes the words fresh, hip, fun & style. Their girls line features a mixture of embellished denim jackets & jeans, while incorporating the hottest washes and techniques. These essential pieces  are complimented by an array of tops, whose fabrications & silhouettes are a direct reflection of it’s core customers love of fashion & bling.

My Thoughts

My toddler has turned into a mini fashionista and she knows what she likes and doesn’t like and the adorable Apple Bottoms outfit I got to review for her is a definite like, in fact she gets mad when I want her to take it off for her pajamas. She loves her little jacket and I just think it is one of the most cutest thing outfit she has. The clothes are made very well and for her fit true to size. I love that it is summery, but she can just add the jacket for a little added warmth in a cold store or home. The color combination is just gorgeous and we both love this outfit. She even put on a little fashion show for me!

I recommend Apple Bottoms clothing to everyone, especially those with little girls that know what they want!

My Thoughts

I have a full figure, something I am always having a problem with when it comes to buying jeans. I either find them too tight in the hips and loose everywhere else or vice-versa and I have to say that I was so excited when I put on a pair of Briana Flare denim jeans from maurices, they fit perfectly. And when I say perfectly I mean they molded to my shape and stayed, nothing was loose, the waistband didn’t pull away from my back side and they were perfect! My husband came running into the room when I yelled “YEAH!!!”, he thought something was wrong and when I told him to look, that I had found a pair of jeans that fit me, he laughed and called me a nut. Well I may be a nut but, I am now a nut with the perfect pair of jeans! I HIGHLY recommend maurices jeans to everyone!!!! I will definitely be buying more! And don’t forget to check out all the other cool styled clothing while you are there!

PZI denim jeans are designed to fit the curvy woman’s unique figure. PZI jeans give women the ability to enjoy their lifestyle by wearing stylish jeans with comfort. The PZI woman is mature and wants her clothing to reflect that maturity, without compromising her trendy and urban style. The PZI woman is a confident woman who knows that she doesn’t have to “bare it all” to get the attention she demands.

I have finally found the PERFECT pair of jeans for me and my figure! This hasn’t always been an easy thing to do because I got me some curves! Other jeans I have tried through the years either don’t fit my bottom or are too short, I am a tall woman. Finally I have a place to get jeans that actually caters to both of those problems. I am so pleased with PZI Jeans!

I was thrilled to be offered the chance to review a pair of PZI Jeans made just for me and all my curves. And I can tell you I was very restless waiting for them to arrive, (no shipping problems, I am just impatient) hoping that these jeans would solve my issues with other jeans. When they arrived I ran to the room to try them on, and Oh My Gosh! They fit perfectly and fulfilled my expectations and even beyond what I expected! I LOVE these jeans!

My curves were covered, no gaps in the back, they fit nicely across my stomach and they covered my height. I can’t tell you how happy I am that PZI Jeans helped me discover the greatness of their jeans. The beauty of their jeans for me is, they have you send in your measurements so they are certain to fit you perfectly. That is a genius way to do things, especially since everyone is different. I really just can’t say enough great things about PZI Jeans, you have to try them to see just what I am talking about.

And I am so excited to share this giveaway with my readers! PZI Jeans is offering one lucky Dirty Shirt reader a chance to win their very own pair of their amazing jeans. See rules below to enter. And make sure to read them all the way through for details. Previous PZI Jeans giveaway winners and review bloggers are disqualified from entering this contest.
