Good luck dry, you'll feel great afterwards! I read YAWYW a while back and seem to recall it had a specific bit about wardrobe editing as well as the separate chapters, might be a good idea for me to look at it again.
Lots of jeans talk. One I think measuring yourself in all the places shown on shop's link is a good start - most online shops selling premium denim seem to give very detailed measurements for each style now, so that could give you an idea of which styles might be best to try when you get to the actual shop.
Thanks to Amber I am a goldsign virtual convert - have two pairs and wear the dark blue ones far too much. I got them online without trying on but I had an inkling they would be right for me, as I need a high rise (hate that feeling of bum threatening to hang out when you sit down in low rise jeans - must be getting old 
) and a very short leg (27" inside).
Also was interested to see QueenC mention skinny flares as I got some recently. Wanted to recreate something like this (got the coat already, God I am such a sheep!). I got the MiH marrakesh (asos bargain) which come with a 36" leg (!!) so I need to get them altered but I will report back. Was planning on wearing them with 3" heels, which means pistols in winter/spring/autumn/whenever I can get away with them :)
Wow long post, will stop now!
