There is nothing like a trip to the mall to precipitate sudden immobilizing depression and plummeting self-esteem. Question: Do they even MAKE jeans for grown-ups anymore? I am finding that the only choices out there are Low-rise or Ultra-Low-rise. Same problem with trousers, and I really need some for work. I might be the most unfashionable speech pathologist in America, and it makes me feel unprofessional. How could anyone take me seriously in the pink capris from 2001 and white tennis shoes? (Deep heavy sigh). I seriously think it is impossible to be fashionable on a budget these days. I know they have a few faux-designer things at Target, but the quality is poor. Kev always says you get what you pay for. He's right. But I can't afford to pay for the good-quality stuff in the mall. And I can't afford a tailor to make me some custom pants. And I can't justify buying expensive clothes, just because I think they will make me feel better about myself. Like the beautiful pink cashmere wrap sweater ($148!) I saw today at J.Crew. Ah...but shouldn't everyone have a cashmere sweater? So delightfully soft...
Here's the thing. I don't really need the beautiful pink cashmere wrap sweater. I have sweaters. Lots of them. And Kev is not going to like me any better if I have that sweater. And my family doesn't care what I wear. It would just be nice, I guess, to leave the house every once in a while feeling good about my clothes instead of feeling like Stacy and Clinton are going to ambush me at any minute and put me on What Not to Wear. Maybe that would be good. Maybe Stacy and Clinton could help me find some pants. I need to go sit in my chair for a few minutes.

Tanger Outlet Mall shopping on Long Island...they built if for you to come
Magic pants from Talbot's rule..
I have black and also camel. they have a little bit of stretch and a bit of a flare at the bottom. not too expensive but not cheap either. will last you for a few years. stacy and clinton approved.
now my hair, they would not approve. in need of a haircut badly!!!!
I do love cashmere though. but it will live in a box most of the year and make you sad.
Try Eddie Bauer for jeans and trousers- they have 3 different styles- none of which are ultra low rise- you might find the perfect fit! check out the website first and then go try some on. I love them!
