Good Morning. Is that Fall in the air?

Nope, just another thunder shower headed our way... I thought it was Fall because I'm getting the itch to go shopping! I've been wearing my clothes out this year, not out-wearing them like before. My business-casual shirts are starting to fade and I need to work on finding the right kind of dress pants that aren't too baggy and don't have a tight waist. Yep, I'm getting an old lady pooch on my lower tummy and my waist size is a size bigger than my hip size would indicate. So, I need to find some pants that sit lower on the hips and not around the waist...that aren't bell bottoms either. 

How many of you are wearing clothes out rather than growing out of them? Ain't it great? Who wants to come to DC / Northern VA and go shopping?

I am definitely wearing clothes out...not because I have been in the same size for a long time, but because I hardly have any clothes and have to wear the same ones over and over. I do get sick of it, but I fight the urge to shop too much because I'm getting very close to where I want to be and I know my body will adjust. I wish I could come shopping with you, but the plane ticket or long car ride might cut into the shopping budget.

I would love to come shopping!!!  I went school shopping with my husband and son on Sunday and decided I will never do that again!  Long story short, I like to shop, they go into the store with a goal.... get what you came for and get out!!   Ugh, they make me crazy!!! 

I am afraid fall is heading our way, I am sending my baby off for his Junior year today! 

My hips are more narrow then my waist too, when you find those perfect pants let me know.  I tried some on at The Limited, but they are very low on my waist and have the bell bottoms.  If a pair of pants fit my waist, they bag in my butt!!

 Try Ann Taylor -  I think Ull like both the cut and the styles 

Im 139 !!! this morning after a nice poo.  Im so PISSED !!  I ran all last week ( even two weeks before ) even low carbed it a litle ... and got down to 127  going in to that show . Now four days later ( binge- less !!  ) im 12 lbs HEAVIER ?!!! 

I walked every day this weekend and swam yesterday even ...thsi is NOT FAIR .  I didnt eat anything bad ... really .  

I am so wanting fall to show her head around the corner, it's not funny. But shopping...not yet. I have plenty of clothes right now. Clothes I plan on never wearing again. But that will come soon enough.

Hi Gina,
I have the same problem.  It looks like a whole family moved out of the rear end of my pants!!  I can't get a smaller size because the waist won't fit. 

I probably can't afford Ann Taylor.  Atleast at work it is pretty casual so I just need a few nice outfits for church and meetings.

Let me know what kind you find that is reasonable.  I wish I could come and go shopping.  Meet you in Atlanta!!  Lots of places to shop there too.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Good Morning!

Fall has been in the air here since MAY!  It's unfreakinbelievable that it has barely gotten about 63 all summer.   This morning it's 57 outside and it's still August.  Where or where did they hide my summer?  This is the coldest summer we've had in over 40 years.  Oh well, it's been great walking weather.  :)

Clothes.  Grrrr.  My shopping these days seems to be Kohl's, goodwill or clothing exchanges.  My size hasn't been changing too quickly.  Yesterday I wore a pair of size Medium pants from Kohl's.  I don't know where I am in the sized pants right now.  Skinny jeans I'm still a 16 but I've been wearing capri's that come in S-M-L-XL type sizes all summer. 

I can't wait until I'm a size where I can go shopping and invest in some clothes of my choosing.

I'm opposite Gina, I have a 32" waist and 41" hips.  I always need them bigger to fit my tush.

Have a fun day everyone!

We had a touch of fall (temp) in the air yesterday and this morning - was such a nice change from the heat and humidity.  Today's high will be 75 degrees!

I would LOVE to come out and go shopping with you!  I'm not wearing my clothes out, but I'm starting to outgrow them... not a good thing.  My dress pants yesterday were tight in the butt - where everyone else has lost theirs, I found mine again!  But because of that, the waist is fitting better on some shorts/capris that was really baggy earlier this year.  Not sure if that's a good thing or not...

When are you going?

Good morning guys!
Hopefully today we will get some school shopping done. Running late this year with the surgery at the end of july.
It is a beautiful day here in northern ohio today, sunny and breezy, and only in the 80's today.

Have a great day all!
