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.

Burrell, I get my boot cut, don't-need-a-belt jeans at Lucky (thanks for the hookup, Kat--still buying the same style you helped me with oh so long ago). They have a decent range of styles, and none of the others look halfway decent on me. I tried Banana Republic boot cut, and they again weren't me, which makes me think that between them there's a fair range. I think one pair cost over $80, the rest were $79 and down. Way more than I'd ever thought to pay on jeans, but they do look proportionally better on me, so...

I should try on a pair of skinny jeans, but I can't imagine owning them. I feel pretty confident that the waistband will show much crack when I bend on most styles.

He went to McGill. A bit before you, I guess?

He was around when I was there--he was post-grad at the time. He was just a guy until he invented Archie, and then he was a nifty guy, but he never TAed or taught any classes I took, though.

I found the thread where Allyson and Jesse come up with the idea for Good Stuff:

I have been looking for a decent pair of boot cut jeans that fit well and flatter and don't cost $200 for 3 years now. Fucking skinny jeans can bite me.

I'm a Prime member, so I buy from Amazon willy-nilly (and then return what I don't like), but I've found that the Calvin Klein bootcuts are a) flattering b) comfy and c) durable. And they tend to be $70 or less.

I don't think I've ever paid $70 for an item of clothing that was my own money.
