I have returned to sing the praises of Lee.

Mom took me early birthday shopping for clothes that acutally fit. We started out at Old Navy, but I was disappointed in their selection, and didn't see much difference in the fit. We then moved on to Kohl's and Penny's. Lee Khakis are my new favorite brand. Even on the hanger I could tell they would fit better. Plenty of room for my battleship hips, and still stays close to the waist. Very flattering!

I also got pairs of Z. Cavaricci's and Docker's which fit well. I coupled these with tops I got from Christopher & Banks (they have the BEST clearance sales!) which had princess seams. It's incredible how much better you can feel when clothes fit properly!

Congrats on the successful shopping trip. and thanks for the updates on different size fits. and yes, its so true "It's incredible how much better you can feel when clothes fit properly!" I bet you're doing the happy dance!!

hi betani,
i just wanted to throw in the fact that ties can look really cute as belts. my bf finds this blasphemous, but i can't help it. he has so many!

That sounds interesting... How do you fasten them? A square knot?

Of course, almost all of my hubby's ties are novelty ties, so that wouldn't look all that great
