need new pants emergency. sigh.

As I was getting dressed this morning, I noticed that my one pair of good jeans is getting worn so thin where my thighs rub together that I can see light through them, like they were a gauzy scarf or something. Well, maybe not quite that bad, but still. This is very problematic. If these jeans go, I will have more than 12 pairs of ill-fitting pants and none that actually fit right, and I will cry every morning as I look at my large-but-useless wardrobe. I need to suck it up and go buy something pricey at Eddie Bauer or Banana Republic or the Gap. (The current good jeans are Gap curvy low rise stretch; Xina recommends Eddie Bauer's curvy style, and Lauren recommends Banana Republic.) Maybe Laur will make a day trip to the outlets with me this weekend. Argh. I really didn't want to have to buy pants while I'm... the size I am. My whole big solution to this dilemma was to lose some weight and drop a size (or, rather, drop *into* a size, because I'm between sizes now), but I'm holding pretty steady at the five pounds I gained since moving here from Boston. And I seriously doubt I'll be losing any weight with the holidays coming up and all the cookies that will involve, so I need to just suck it up. Finding new jeans (and maybe even cords?) will be torture, but once I have some (preferably... two pairs? So I don't have to wear the same ones all the time?) I know I'll feel so much better about getting dressed in the morning. And I should buy jeans now, while I'm living with my parents and can afford it.

At least in spring I'll be able to wear capris. I've got three pairs of those that work. Shocking, I know. Warm weather is always better for me in terms of getting dressed. I wear lots more skirts in the summer. Just one more reason why winter is evil.

I'm in a similar position. In between sizes.

Maybe we should wear matching mumus.

You were willing to pay for custom made jeans, maybe you could take some of your ill fitting jeans to a seamstress.

We need to sign you up for one of those makeover shows (the ones that give free clothes and a haircut, not the extremem plastic surgery ones) so you can get awesome clothes that fit.

when i was in high school i used to buy levi's silver tabs exclusively. then i got a little older, got a picky girlfriend and started buying banana republic. i remember the first day i tried them on. they fit so perfectly and felt so good i had no problem paying $70 for them. and then they changed their denim type and altered the cuts and now i hate them. so what do i get now? seems the gap got br's leftovers, so now i get gap straight fit. same old demin i loved, and in even better cuts for me. wee, pants!

i did have to switch to button fly, which i dreaded, but now that i've had them for a couple months, i love the buttons.
