I picked up a couple of Levis straight-leg jeans at an Amazon sale about a year ago, and they are AMAZING. They're just shaped like normal pants without any low-rise/flare-leg/whatever bullshit, and they will last basically forever.

Right now I'm on the hunt for sweater-dresses. I bought one at Target a few weeks ago that is surprisingly awesome, and I'm wishing I'd bought extras in other colors.

I like skinny jeans, just not on me. I definitely do adjust my tates to the trends somewhat...I have straight and boot leg pants in my closet that seems practically like flares now.

I am in a big phase of wearing dresses with leggings, often t-shirt dresses. Mainly because it looks presentable for work while feeling like I am wearing pajamas.

My wardrobe is made of about 85% Just My Size floral or whatever Graphic Print Tees and jeans with the winter addition of sweatshirts.

ita, May you get some sense out of your neuro today, since we can't be there to knock some sense into him.

I love that ankle pants exist, because I can buy petite ankle pants and not have to hem them to make them fit my shorter than petite legs. So convenient! And not quite as resort-y looking, uaually, as when I try that with what are supposed to be capris.

Happy Halloween week, y'all! I'm pulling out the shirt with the hot pink jilli-fonts all over it that I suspect I can't get away with wearing to the office any other time of year

ETA: that Google doodle is lovely.

I need more (read: any) Jilli-font-theme clothing. To add to my collection (read: 3) of squid-themed tshirts.

I am currently trying to shop for Casper, and argh! Lands End has like one pant style for girls right now, and they've very low rise skinnies. And of course they are sold out in her size (14 slim) anyway. Clothing companies that make clothes for kids should stock all the sizes all the time! She FIT into her pants a month ago when everyone was doing back to school shopping! Shopping for tween clothes is the worst.

Can't she just wear grownup clothes at this point?

How tall is she, flea? My problem with Sara is that she's mostly a 12, but she's not super tall, so pants are always long on her. And then I remind myself she's still nine, so.

-t, go you! Also you and I are one wrt to the ankle pants trend. A pair I bought the other day are still a tiny bit long but not enough that I'm going to bother to shorten them.

whenever I am not finding what I like at a department store, I move to the older person section. Thus, I buy Lee jeans at JCP in the Misses section. I figure I am only a year or two away from just taking the elastic waist pant coordinates from my grandmother's closet. Only kinda kidding.
