Great answers everyone! Thanks for playing....

Yep, Idaho and Wranglers and Ropers must go hand in hand! LOL

Keep thinking guys...!!

Katie~ size 3...what does it look like?:lol: I mean I've heard of it on those supermodels, but you've saw it in real life, wow!

I to would love to be able to wear skirts and dresses this summer. I don't know were we are vacationing this summer, but I know I plan to be in a summer dress everyday and in the pool in my swimsuit (with no cover up over my thighs :)) every afternoon.

Ok, here's a test - how can you tell if a chickie is from the East Coast -she has no idea what Ropers are. And she thinks Wranglers may be jeans?

BTW - Beanie - I love your dream outfit idea.

Julie

Youre right Julie, I am so lost on this topic (CT suburbs here!)!!

I'm fromt he midwest and I still didn't know. I caught on to the wranglers thing because I have saw the commercials :lol: but ropers? weren't they on 3's company?

Ropers are lace up cowboy/girl boots! :dizzy: You are two funny. Yes wranglers are jeans, cowboy jeans. Now most girls with wide buts wouldn't wear em cause of the pockets on the back can get really far apart if you know what I mean ;) Now just in case the NFR is the National Finals Rodeo that is held in Las Vegas every Dec. We are getting tickets for Dec 06. :lol: You really think we are hicks from the sticks here in Idaho don't ya?!!! :rofl: :devil:

I used to wear ropers and wranglers (bareback style, no back pockets) right after I had my son, mid 1995 I fit into size 5's. Now I dont want to be that small anymore, but I want to wear size 8 jeans and around a 10 in dress pants. I dont have anything in my closet to help me, but I am looking forward to actually wearing shorts and tanks next summer, since after I gained this weight (60lbs) I decided that shorts were bad and the shortest I have gone since were capri's...
So shorts/tanks

Okay, the Texas chick has to weigh in on the Ropers! Ropers aren't just lace up - mine are a beautiful gray pair. (By the way, they are Justin Roper cowboy boots)

As for the Wranglers - no way!! I'm not old enough! :lol: In Texas, Wranglers are what the Daddys wear - young people wear Levi's!! :lol:

DH has graduated to the Wranglers and he even said "I can't believe I'm at the age that I wear Wranglers now." So, I wonder if that's a Texas thing??

I am not a kicker, but DH was in high school. I only listened to country music in high school when we were dating because he did. I still love George Strait, but as soon as we got married, I scooted back to Journey, Bon Jovi, and the like!! :lol3:

When we were dating, Huntsville State Prison still had the rodeo, so we would go to it. Growing up in Houston, we never missed the Rodeo at the Astrodome. I still love the rodeo!

But, I will wear my Ropers with some Levi's! :D

wtxchick- thanks for clearing up the ropers...i was gonna go back and post they didn't necessarily have to be lace up....but the ones I want to wear are lace ups....And here no wranglers aren't for daddies they are for cowboys. I guess you've never heard wrangler butts drive the girls nuts?? Man nothing finer than a cowboy in a nice tight pair of wrangler if you know what I mean. LOL The bigger the belt buckle the bigger the rodeo star!! LOL

That cracks me up, beanie!:lol3:

Nope, I never liked Wranglers because I think the pockets are too low. Even skinny, I thought they looked horrible on me. Now, the kicker girls in high school wore the Wranglers without the pockets on the back, but I wasn't a kicker, so I skipped that. I'm more of a rocker who fell in love with a kicker!! (Although, I got a thrill seeing Steve Perry in the crowd at the World Series!! That's my kinda guy ;) )

Andi

Ok, I am truly being educated. what is a kicker? I was thinking football, but I know think I am way off?

Thanks, Shennie, I was wondering the same thing. . . I'm guessing that it has something to do with country music. . .

Beanie-I would love to go to a rodeo . . .

Julie

I Am Extremely Lost, Lol!!!!

I also want to:

1. TUCK my tops/shirts in
2. Wear slacks/pants, skirts that don't have the mandatory elastic waist.
I want a button/hook closure.
3. I want to fit this beautiful size 12 white button down the front dress that
is still hanging in my closet(8 sizes later).

So glad that I ventured off of the monthly thread. Didn't realize there is so much more on this board.

Izzy - I hear ya on the elastic pants....I can't remember the last time I wore button or zippered pants. I am looking forward to it! The dress sounds nice.

Venture out more often and join the fun! ;)

I was wondering how is everyone handling the tween sizes. :?: I don't really want to spend money on new clothes cause I don't plan on staying at the inbetween weights. :D I have recently given all I mean all my old clothes away so I don't have anything to get me by. :dizzy:
