I must admit that I have accepted the fact that I need to get certain (most) pants tailored. No ifs about it. Also, if I know that I will be wearing pants (or anything, for that matter) for years to come, I don't feel the dreaded guilt for spending more than maybe I wanted to spend. <br />I understand that you aren't a shopping fan, but I also hope that you go out and find something that is just fabulous at some point!Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17208374967597840745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4699361536242687629.post-45461019973924347262010-05-12T23:16:24.139-04:002010-05-12T23:16:24.139-04:00Thanks for all the support!
Sarah, I agree about ...Thanks for all the support!<br /><br />Sarah, I agree about the drying. I normally try to do that with my jeans. I put mine on hangers where the waist is buttoned and over the largest part of the hanger.<br /><br />Lisa, I can only imagine with kids that you would need more too. I was thinking of you when I heard a segment on NPR on the book Teaching like a Champion. (I think that's the title)<br /><br />Cammy, I'll definitely look over the websites again. It's truly hard to find petite sections. I heard Ann Taylor is expanding their petite line. As for humor, I agree. You have to be able to laugh at yourself or the situation a little.Tiptoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17388368645986593755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4699361536242687629.post-51364947317333934292010-05-12T10:03:53.621-04:002010-05-12T10:03:53.621-04:00I know this is a HUGE challenge, and it's grea...I know this is a HUGE challenge, and it's great that you tackled it and were even able to find humor at times. I think looking for "just the right thing" can be hard even for people without EDs, but having body issues makes it ten times worse. It's great that you found some things, maybe now that you have an idea of what sizes you wear from those stores, you could check out their websites to see if there are more options that weren't on display when you visited?Cammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18181004571609998125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4699361536242687629.post-40307395325253042772010-05-11T13:55:54.192-04:002010-05-11T13:55:54.192-04:00I'd get more, too.

I'm just lucky that we don't pay for utilities.Lisa and Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17857704375623585452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4699361536242687629.post-25749399953972948362010-05-11T09:40:48.068-04:002010-05-11T09:40:48.068-04:00Okay, first of all, I'm so glad that you found...Okay, first of all, I'm so glad that you found some!! I think that's a VERY positive shopping experience if you found three pairs of pants--sometimes I have to go shopping 4-5 times to find a pair I like! And I bet they looked good. Gay guys working at Banana Republic rarely steer you wrong. <br /><br />In terms of how many pairs to get--I would get one pair for every day of the week. You are working with dogs and will need to frequently wash your pants, but you probably don't want to use the dryer for your nicer khaki pants from BR and Ann Taylor (both so your garments won't shrink and so they won't get as much wear/tear.) I usually air dry mine over my shower rod or on a drying rack. Hope this helps.Sarah at Journeying With Himhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00823110479188213370noreply@blogger.com
