So anyway my husband was making fun of my over sized pregger pants that now look like I'm carrying a load around in the butt of them apparently. He said I need to stop wearing them, I guess they are embarrassing; I can't see my own ass, so not so much for me, as for him to be seen with me in them I guess. I took this as an excuse to go out shopping, so I packed up baby and did a little mall walking/shopping. I didn't want to spend to much on anything seeing as I am loosing weight pretty steadily still. roughly 3 pounds a week, but that's another story. We're talking shopping remember? So anyway, I first went to Charolette Russe because they carry long pants. Unfortunately any long pants in my size were ultra skinny pants, and I'm sorry, but no one over a size 8 should be wearing an ultra skinny pant. It's like begging for a muffin top. Seeing as my belly is a very sensitive subject right now I figure looser is better so I ended up getting a pair or stretch pants and four shirts for $14 ....yes the stretch pants gave me less of a muffin top then the jeans. I was not expecting that even if they are a large.
After that we headed over to Old Navy in search of pants since they two have long and a nice clearance section. I found two pairs to try on. One was to tight and made me look like I had thunder thighs that I was trying to balance out with huge flair legs... Who is designing this crap? I might have thunder thighs but I don't don't want to draw attention to them. You might as well have pasted a big arrows on the butt pointing at the thighs with the words "get ready for the boom" written on them. I didn't have high hopes for the second pair seeing as they were a return from a net order. How ever, to my surprise they fit perfectly. No muffin top and long enough that they fold over at the bottom. For my 5'11 frame that's amazing! So the tag said 5o% off original price which was $34.99. I was wondering if I was willing to pay 17.50 for a pair of jeans I might only wear for a couple months...If you don't know yet I'm really cheep and that's a price I usually wouldn't pay for something that would be a permanent part of my wardrobe. I eventually caved, figuring that I wouldn't find another pair that fit and didn't make me look like humpty dumpty so I took them up to the counter. The lady reminded me that there was no returns since it was a net order exchange. I said I know but they're the only ones that fit. She rung them up and you wouldn't guess what they came out to! 97 cents.... That's right a whole 97 cents. Woohoo! made my day.
Then the final store I went to was Sears. I got another pair of tight and a long sweater shirt and a tank top. That one totaled just over $10. So to recap that was two leggings, one jean and 6 tops all totaling roughly 25 dollars. All in all I would say that makes for a good shopping trip.
