I'M the Anti-Steph! I like all 3 of these things!

Do you wear them all together? That actually probably looks pretty damn stylish. I admit I dress like a hobo.

Because books.

I got jeans at a Banana Republic outlet once, and they were my favorite jeans for about four years. Bootcut, not too low-rise, good quality, comfortable. I also like Calvin Klein -- I usually look at Marshall's or TJ Maxx, or one of the resale shops.

ita, I think it's awesome that you are wearing Lucky jeans still. I have my last pair of Lucky jeans on the pile To Go because the rise is too low and they aren't comfortable.

Really? I just want to wear dresses or yoga pants every single day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm sad because my current favorite jeans are Gap Outlet, and I think you can only get them at the store, and it's a hassle for me to get to.

I'M WEARING THEM TOGETHER RIGHT NOW! (Not really. I'm wearing a long sleeve teeshirt and sneakers...I am wearing skinny jeans.)

Sara had these Land's End dresses two years ago -- loose, smock-like, long-sleeved, full skirt. I wish they had them for me. I put on so much weight over the summer, I have precisely one pair of pants (jeans) that are comfortable enough to actually wear.

Woman Within is terrific. The petite length is wonderful, I got a skirt that fit that was the perfect length. I may have to measure my inseam and just risk a pair of pants. And then I'll risk buying a bra.

Happy birthday, aurelia!

I waited until close to the last minute to get my emissions check. I went to the place I've been going to for the last several years, but its machine wasn't working. The guy gave me a coupon for a reduced price at another, less convenient, location. I went there and found the truck didn't pass because I haven't put enough miles on it since the new alternator. I theoretically can look up how many miles it takes for it to reset, but I need to find the paperwork for the alternator to find out what the mileage was. So I'm organizing the paper in my office. Sigh.
