We were at my parents' this week. There were lots of fun things about being home with the kids, but one of my personal highlights was a kid-free trip to Target. I love Target. Some days when life is just boring or the kids are driving me crazy, I climb in the car and head to where the red dots call my name.
I am in the market for a new pair of jeans. My alone shopping trips are few and far between these days so I take any opportunity I can to try on clothes. I have come to a very important conclusion and one that may not be a huge surprise to anyone else...
Women who have birthed two children (rather recently) should NOT buy low rise jeans. Although I am in a decent size these days, there are some things a 36 year old mother of two should not wear. Low rise anything is at the top of that list. It was a bummer too. The jeans were cute and fit nicely but unless I was guaranteed to be wearing a sweater or some other forgiving top, these jeans would not be such a good idea- if you know what I mean.
I did walk away with a cute pair of flats and a Real Simple magazine. (I'm such a sucker for the promise of quick and easy organization-- if only someone would come and implement it for me.) If anyone knows of some great jeans at a price that won't require the sale of our first born, I'd greatly appreciate it.

mm I DO love Target also!! Have you been to Steve & Barry's in Centerville? i got a couple pairs there last year that I liked. They are all $20 or less.
I LOVE Gap's Long and Lean jeans. And yes, I realize how completely ridiculous it is that I, of all people, wear jeans called "Long and Lean". If only that described my physique. sigh.
Anyway, they're a great price for a good quality, very comfortable pair of jeans.
Loose tops are, fortunately, very IN. You know the lingo, right? MUFFIN TOP.
I did find some Paris Blue's jeans that have some amazing amount of stretch in them, helping out in the MT area. I think Penny's carries them if there are any JC Penny's left (besides in Rockwall, TX). I found them wholesale...not sure their retail. They are kind of high too.
I mean High waisted, not high end.
okay i totally know what you mean, i have to tell myself "don't go in that store, you are 30 years old" when i walk by wetseal at the mall. sigh...
Lands End? they have good sales at sears sometimes!
