Shopping!

I went shopping and spent more money then I thought I would but I got 2 sweaters, 5 cute shirts, a nice (expensive) pair of jeans and a really cute dress. Also a bottle of wine to make chicken tonight.

I am still debating going out tonight for Crystal's birthday. Part of me just want to hang out at home. The other part of me thinks I just got a new dress that I could wear.

Out of curiosity, what brand of jeans did you get? I'm trying to find the perfect jeans (who isn't?).

Express. I was on a mission to get jeans that would fit and they have their "Eva" line that fits me really well without having a saggy butt (I have hips but no butt).

I also like Gloria Vanderbilt Jeans. They fit well and aren't as expensive but they tend to stretch after a couple months.

Ok that doesn't help me. Heh. I have a big butt. It is hard to find jeans with enough room in the ass so that when I bend down no one sees crack. TINT jeans are the best so far, I LOVE them. But they are discontinued, OF COURSE. NY and Company are also roomy for curvy girls, just in case anyone reading this cares to know!

All my weight ends up in my belly and not my butt. My biggest problem is finding jeans that don't push up my belly, which these do.

I haven't tried NY and Company jeans. I should next time

They have different fits, for different shapes (NY & Co). High quality clothes too, and not outrageously priced. Expensive, but not $100 jeans. Maybe $50ish.

Ah. The ones I got today were 65. It hurt but since it has been almost a year since I found some jeans I liked I decided to buy them.

I do buy shirts at NY & Co but I don't think I have ever wander to the pants side. I tend to get pants at Target or JC Penney.

I know! I didn't because it was too dressed up for where the party was but I am going to wear it to work. It is seriously cute.
