Really kinda sad, but I try on jeans from everywhere. And one of the most comfy pairs and fit great are mine from target. That mossimo(spelling) brand. boot cut, low rise but not super and roomy in the hip area. I actually look taller and more slimed. Not bad for a 25 dallor purchase and a year later They still look great.

I own 2 jean skirts muffy and they both have slits in the front, so you can see my legs. I don't care what designers say...all skirts make some part of a womans leg look bigger than it is.

yeah, Target's brands have better sizing, I think. they also have better selection than wal-mart. And those are the only places I buy jeans--I'm too cheap for department stores! And the only Sears Essentials (aka Kmart) we have nearby is a 20 minute drive... I'll just go to the target or walmart down the street

Hmmm, I may have to take a trip to Target (pronounced "Tar-zshay", the French boutique) in the near future.

I hate plucking my eyebrows so I got an at home wax to save money. I do not know if I want to risk waxing myself.. or sit there in pain plucking all my hairs out

My eyebrows affect the way I think about myself so much, if they are not nice and neat somehow I feel just yuck.

also my lips have ezcama ( sp?) they are different colors at the moment... sigh it takes way to much work to look nice

I all ways find the best jeans at consignment stores. Sometimes there will be designer jeans there for like 25 $.

What I've give to have a good consignment/thrift store in my town

All of the jeans that seem to fit me well come from stores that take brand-names and slash down the prices (like Ross and TJ Maxx). I occasionally splurge on Old Navy jeans too. They fit me the best.

I got a pair of Old Navy jeans yesterday. They fit me just how I like it in the legs. Only problem is that for some reason, the waistband kind of flairs off of my waist. So weird.

I let my daughter wax mine once. She enjoyed it way too much.



I've gone to consignment shops. They're a lot of fun - when they have what you're looking for. But most of the time it's a crapshoot.

Old Navy fit me the best, too.

Oh, and OH.....I love Happy Bunny.

I went to Roots today and tried on these dresses, they're so nice and I fit in an xs! I just don't know which one to get, I have to think about it some more. But if my sister gets one I can get the other, cause we both fit in the xs. They're just a little expensive. This is one of the ones I tried, but in navy and this one comes in black and green with a pattern. Anyway, I just wanted to share in girlie stuff.

either one you get, they are both really cute!

Then I'm gonna need to get cute shoes to go with it!

Ahhh everyone's having a sale! I can't keep up!

I want some new yoga pants from Roots...let's see if I can get those on sale.

Ive been looking for just some really simple cute oversized tee's to sleep in and can't find any. I like them really big and roomy...any one has suggestions I will greatly appericate them. I've tried target, wal-mart and tj maxx. Please don't suugest VS...they are still too tight for my taste. I need room around the old hips and boobs.

I forgot where to post this but for sammy, my fortune cookie....You will be fortunate in everything you do(in bed).

liz, I really like over-sized guys t-shirts to sleep in, especially the ones from Target. They're not that cute, but they're really comfy!

^QOE I didn't even think about going to the guy's section. I'm going to have a look then on sunday I think. Thanks. I guess I've been programed to wander through the womens section until I'm forced to buy something I hate.

Okay, I really need help now. I'm going to some church thing in like...less than 2 weeks. And it's going to be in the 90's, and no air conditioning for the most part. What should I get to wear? I have no summer clothes at all...

Denim capris seem too warm. And I really don't want to wear skirts.

choir robe with nothing underneath? or is that too tacky for church?

...depends on the denomination!


just kidding.


yes, that is too tacky for church.

Darn, I was going to head out to that huge robe sale...

lizzie, i like the men's t-shirts from Land's End - soft, big and comfy.


Been there, done that.
Well, actually I wore a bra and underwear.

I found my Burt's Bees Lemon Cuticle Creme!!!!!!!! It fell behind the computer.

I need to color my hair badly. I have over a half inch of gray roots. And my cousin is going to cut it on Tuesday or Wednesday.

I want to get a pedicure on Saturday, but I don't have time.

I *totally* know how you feel. I'd wax my eyebrows, but I fear that I'll pull out every single hair from it's roots. I just get my mom to pluck 'em for me, which doesn't hurt very much. I've given up on threading 'cause last time, this lady left this big hole which made my eyebrows uneven .

And yes, thick eyebrows totally affect my mood. Not only that, but they make my eyes look totally different. Even with the proper eye makeup it still doesn't feel right. Proper eyebrows really open up the eyes, instantly making one look better. The only exceptions is Brooke Shields, who looks fab no matter what.

HITO, what about a cute sundress that falls above the knee. I was thinking something girly & pink, or no? Capri's are nice too.

I was planning on taking one dress, thanks. Probably for church though.

I think i'm going to end up getting khaki/jean capris. Sweeet.

The very first time I got my brows waxed, the lady doing it was telling me this HILARIOUS story about the first time she waxed brows. It seemed she believed that if she applied the wax to the ENTIRE brow, only the offending stray hairs would magically come off. And......as predicted, she waxed off her client's ENTIRE EYEBROW.

So here I am, scared of the pain, nervous how it will look, and I'm hearing this story from the woman doing the waxing. Niiiiice.

(I'm happy to report though that she had learned not to wax off an entire brow and it ended up looking OK).

I can't get in to get my upper lip waxed so I wanted to use a at home cream. 5 mins later my lip was burning and I wiped it off as instructed...bright red upper lip and the little hairs....still there. I hope I can get in monday to my lip done

Ow! You might have a bit of a chemical burn on your lip. If I were you I'd wait a little longer than Monday to get it waxed. You might end up with more than just a bright red upper lip!

I let my daughter do mine last night. She had just a little bit too much fun ripping it off from me. She didn't even count to three or anything.

Tried Bonnie Bell Black Cherry Vanilla Lipsmacker today...Dr. Pepper has some competition!

she used that chance to get back at you for anything you did to her she didn't like.

It was red when I woke up this morning, and the numbness is just now starting to go away.

She was laughing at me. I won't soon forget that.

this could be the start of a very ugly mother-daugther war.

Today's fortune cookie. . . .
Your dearest dream is coming true, (in bed). Oooooooooo . . . . .

My daughter's, (let's skip the "in bed" part . . . ), You will inherit a large sum of money. I think I'm due for my physical.

I'm amazed your first instinct wasn't to just steal one of your fiance's shirts. What is it about that second x chromosome that makes women feel the need to appropriate their man's clothing?

1. Women's clothing is rarely made with comfort in mind.
2. There's something kind of sensual about wearing our man's PJ's. I steal my husband's all the time.

Word.

K, so my friend is getting married next month in the UK next month & me & another friend are in charge of her secret stagette party. So far, we thought of renting a limo & doing another activity. Male strippers & clubs are ruled out as she's not fond of either. Me, that's a different story but I'll save those two activites for when I'm the bride to be .

So, I need some suggestions. Keep in mind that everyone attending is either 20 or 21 year college students who aren't exactly too wealthy . That eliminates the spa & a weekend in some Las Vegas casino. We just want to celebrate her final days as a single day so almost anything can work I guess.

Thanks everyone !

*eta* edited due to an obvious spelling error

I didn't have time to color my hair or get a pedicure, so now I have to go to church unkempt.

On a funny note, my brother has blue paint in his hair.

Amen to that GP. I wear hubby's old coaching T shirts to bed with our last name on it. I'm no supermodel by a LONG shot, but I'm the cutest thing that's ever been in these team tees......

(And men: you know you secretly love seeing us in your t-shirts at bedtime. C'mon. )

Yeah, but somehow it's not so cute when the men wear our clothes.

true

I wish I could. I've tried with a few but he doesn't me ruining his shirts. he says I end up staining them, like O-H's hubby tells her. I like to wear his socks too. They are thicker and warmer, keeps my feet and legs cozy and warm

Wearing a man's shirt is nice because it negates the need for a top and a bottom. If the shirt comes down past your butt -- presto! Instant, appropriate, comfortable house-wear without the discomfort and restriction of something on the lower half.


Why must the world be against us?

Note to self: Locate and confiscate t-shirt.

I feel like burning his t shirts now. Is that okay to say that here?

fingers crossed, yes!

Shouldn't that be on the confessions thread?

If your next movie rentals include The Burning Bed, the brit better watch out!

Wet N Wild's Nude Berry lip gloss- made better by the fact that it's super cheap! My 4 year old daughter tried it and now she keeps asking if she can use it again because it tastes so good.

Renting a limp? I hope you meant limo!

Spend the day indoors having a "girl's day in", then head out for drinks and use the limo to cruise around town?

^ Hahaha, da*n, I really gotta proofread my posts more often. This isn't the first time I made a fool out of myself .

Ooh, that's a good suggestion. Thanks! Maybe us gals can have a slumber party like we did back in high school, with all the gossip, nail polish & pizza possible. I think the possibility is that it'll have to be during the day, without any sleep. I know *tons* of good places for a drink & going for a drive for a limo is always fun too. We'll ride around town like celebs heehee.

I'll run that idea by the co-host & it happens, I'll let you & everyone else knows.

*is very excited*

emotions going crazy. I knew as soon as I got home I just needed a good cry. The bad part is it started on the phone with my dad and now he is a tad worried.

It just feels so good to cry sometimes. and yes I know that is SOOO GIRLY, but you know somedays I like to be a girl!

I am thinking I am going to find a good sad movie and just bawl!
