Since my surgery and being relatively out of commission with workouts and running the way I was accustomed to, my body has changed. I haven't gained or lost weight, but I've lost muscle and how I carry my weight on my body has shifted. My clothes don't fit right, mostly pants. I really don't like shopping, especially during the busy holiday shopping season, but I needed to go try on some jeans, otherwise I would have 'trolled the internet for jeans. I braved the mall. I figured Macy's offered a plethora of jeans and pants, but I was overwhelmed. (I was sort of hoping that Tim Gunn and Gretta Monahan would just happen to show up and rescue me, but no.) I tried on 3 different sizes in several different brands, but nothing really fit right, and the ones that did sort of fit were more than I wanted to pay. I just can't justify spending $200.00 on jeans. I don't know why I even bothered to look at those. Flustered, I meandered down to Old Navy and found their jeans on sale for $20.00 AND THEY FIT. GASP! I should have known.Thanks to Anne, I can now play "Yesterday's song" on my blog post. I won't do this all the time, unless it's a really obscure song that happens to show up on Mixwit.
Yesterday's Song:
Super Sunny Christmas - Redd Kross

great find on the jeans... i struggle with finding ones that fit me too... and also will never spend $200 on jeans. Enjoy your weekend!
The less expensive jeans fit me better. I hate shopping for jeans---it is such a reality check.
I love Old Navy Jeans. I agree...they just fit!
You were brave for going to the mall though.
Im with you on the less expensive jeans love.
a year or so ago I went to nordstroms and pretended I was rich :)
tried on all the PRICEY (300.00!!) jeans to see what id love were I able to afford.
not a one!
I still was smitten with my old navys!
Melanie,
I like knowing exactly what fits, but with all the changes, I didn't know what would fit. I was relieved I found jeans that fit, plus $20! Yay!
Waddler26.2,
I'm convinced that they make the uber expensive jeans for women without hips or thighs! Hooray for Old Navy. ;)
AKA Alice,
A busy mall! I did OK and came home in one piece. LOL.
Mizfit,
Hi, thanks for visiting! I used to work at Neiman Marcus and have seen the over priced merchandise! I think the whole time I worked there I bought pajamas for my kids, only because they were on sale and I had an employee discount. As for jeans, I'm completely fine going for cheap. I'd much rather spend that kind of money on something that's going to last me a long, long time.
Juls,
Thanks for the info. I'll have to look for those!
