I was thrilled to read your post via Victoria's blog on wearing skirts and some very thought provoking points you made. <BR/>I have a about 2 cents worth of advice for you. :-)<BR/>When I wanted to change my wardrobe and couldn't afford to I turned my attention to Goodwill. They built a new one about a year ago and I was amazed how many things I found! All of my jeans have come from there. I especially love the GAP jeans! They fit so nice-- and at 3.99 a pair! I couldn't beat it! As for the skirts, I can't wait to hit the rack this summer! For now it's -16 out and too chilly for skirts, except on Sundays, I brave the cold for Sundays. :-)<BR/><BR/>Much love from a former Texan!Jean Marie Bibbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08382992391614158095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686582774155973298.post-16412430377798528682009-01-17T11:01:00.000-06:002009-01-17T11:01:00.000-06:00Mr. Linky was here this morning, so I made my post...Mr. Linky was here this morning, so I made my post.

Sometimes I wear my husbands 501's.

The funniest part was that you could tell they had padding in their bottoms to fill up the jeans. Sadly, I do not need the padding. I also enjoyed your supplementary post about the differences between men and women. This is an important topic. I agree with your conclusion that pants are not what's wrong with our view, but it is interesting to see how fashion has played into the blending of gender roles.Mylindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05040941656659093712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686582774155973298.post-87803240207099009312009-01-16T20:14:00.000-06:002009-01-16T20:14:00.000-06:00Hi there!

I wear jeans a lot - and by that I mean 6 or 7 days a week ;-)<BR/><BR/>I swear by the A.N.A. brand at JC Penney - they are comfy, and you can wear them with a t-shirt or a nice dressy shirt. They go on sale often - ($20) which I think is a steal! <BR/><BR/>Can't wait for the next assignment! Good luck with the jeans...<BR/><BR/>breeBreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11744631343278254195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686582774155973298.post-49244872688723984802009-01-16T19:04:00.000-06:002009-01-16T19:04:00.000-06:00There were some tears and a good amount of grimaci...There were some tears and a good amount of grimacing but I made it through the video! Oooooooh the vest! My eyes are still burning from those fashion choices.<BR/>The vest makes me think of one a friend of mine got for Christmas.

Well I do feel inspired to get my closet cleaned out so I suppose there was some good in all the horror after all. ;)Molly Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979813404407688739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686582774155973298.post-29929040952070404042009-01-16T16:15:00.000-06:002009-01-16T16:15:00.000-06:00Molly - I am cracking up because I know EXACTLY wh...Molly - I am cracking up because I know EXACTLY what you looked like when you saw the video...lol!<BR/><BR/>Brenda - Absolutely true!

(Not as much as he likes skirts, of course.) But for my own sense of "freshness", I really need to try to get away from jeans for a while. <BR/><BR/>Jon and I have talked before about what we would spend money on if we had more of it, and for the most part we wouldn't buy anything more than we do now. The major exception is clothes - as soon as we leave "babystep #2: debt snowball" behind and pass "babystep #3: 3-6 month emergency fund", I'm upgrading and updating!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00706163780474900572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686582774155973298.post-15245658125491624372009-01-16T14:15:00.000-06:002009-01-16T14:15:00.000-06:00LOL Mrs Terry you had me worried for a minute ther...LOL Mrs Terry you had me worried for a minute there... :DKaty-Anne Binsteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15528465833214550644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686582774155973298.post-35667082235457418572009-01-16T14:06:00.000-06:002009-01-16T14:06:00.000-06:00I just thought about my comment.

She doesn't look like a guy.<BR/><BR/>Well, it was -30 degrees last night. It has been dipping well below zero all this week. Even the inside of the house feels cold at 68-degrees. <BR/><BR/>If I wear a dress, I must wear pantyhose or tights under it. Uncomfortable. I don't have skirts long enough to be able to wear long-john bottoms under them. Maybe I'll get some longer skirts. Long-johns are uncomfortable and itchy, though, because of that waffle-weave.<BR/><BR/>What to wear UNDER skirts and dresses for everyday is the problem. Maybe I'll get some to-the-ankle petti-pants to wear under longer skirts (I already have knee-length ones, and they work good in the summer time) from J. C. Penney's. <BR/><BR/>I also went to the Penney's catalog and bought matching "granny" white cotton camisoles and knee-panties. They are as comfortable as pajamas, but again, only work in the summertime, as the "knee-panties" are not long enough. Elderly ladies wear this stuff, and it is as fuddy-duddy as it comes.<BR/><BR/>In a mid-calf skirt and clunky knee socks, I look like a refugee. Or like I belong to a cult. I don't feel feminine -- I just feel frumpy, dumpy and old. They're birth-control clothes.<BR/><BR/>Don't know if I want to wear corsets, voluminous skirts, petticoats and pantaloons with high-button shoes. Might have worked for Laura Ingalls Wilder (whose homestead is about 3 hours away from me), but it wouldn't work for me. I can't live in the 1800's. The extremely cold weather here is the real problem.<BR/><BR/>Sigh. I prefer summer-time, when I don't have this problem.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03816096081381689162noreply@blogger.com
