There are long jeans, and then there are looong jeans!

wide-waist-jeansI have felt really lucky when I’ve found 36-37″ inseam jeans. But even those aren’t long enough for some of you. So check out these “Wide Waist Indigo Stretch Jeans” with a 39″ inseam. I love the wide waistband, and the low waist. Low enough to be stylish, while still keeping that crack covered. They’re not super cheap by my bargain-hunting standards, but not as pricey as the designer brands either. They’re also having a summer special right now, where some of their stuff is an extra 10-20% off.

Everything comes back!

July 8, 2008

swim-skirtI think it’s true what they say. Everything comes back if you wait long enough. I used to make fun of my mom for wearing a swimsuit with a skirt attached. I grew up swimming at a local college where they required you to wear their swimsuits. Suits that had a big flap across the front, which for lack of a better word, I called a skirt.

Over the past several years, I’ve been curiously watching swim skirts re-emerge. This is a bandwagon I just might jump on. They’re practical, and cover more. Let’s face it, this isn’t the body I had at 20. I am now a creature of practicality and comfort. So I’m keeping my eyes out for swim skirts. I’ve seen some cute ones that coordinate with a suit. But I may just pick up a plain versatile one, to hold me over until I find something I love.
