I went to a goodwill to buy some inexpensive jeans and I found the perfect pair. The tag said Leemo USA jeans. they were stylish with a flare leg and felt stretchy but didnt look that way. I was so happy I found the perfect jeans and also fearing they were maternity and thats why they fit so well. I cannot find this brand anywhere and was wondering if anyone knew. Thank-you.

I have spent hours this week online looking at shapewear, trying to find what will make me feel like I look okay. ARRRGH. (I go online because I live 1.5 hours from any real store, even a Wal-Mart.) And I hate things that squish my tummy. I have an awesome baby and therefore a baby tummy and I want to just get over it all ready. Sorry. Please return to your normal, not rant-y clothing fun. I'm a buzzkill. PS- Ooohh, Land's End has cute stuff and I thought it would be super expensive. I'ma have to try that... Ok, thank god for this.

Woo hoo! Their website at www.makingitbig.com. They have a Fall Clearance Event going on with an extra 25% off sale prices, including some tops under $25. San Francisco Bay Area Shapelings can also visit Making it Big's showroom and store in Cotati - North Bay/Marin County. They are previewing their winter clothing Friday and Saturday Oct. 10 and 11. I will probably go check it out. I am SO tickled to see attractive, well made clothing in sizes above 3X! This has long been a pet peeve of mine.

How did I not know about this? I certainly can't haul ass to Phoenix just to go shopping right now, but if there are any work conferences or anything planned there in the future, I am going to beg to go! Last Chance…omg.

Bless you. This is super-useful. I always need jeans that I can roll up in case I need to bandage my knee, and my local store selection is unimpressive. Oh! Bless you. This is super-useful.

It's been a long time since I wore a dress, and I've never worn one this style before. Now I just have to find out what shoes go with it. The Harlow dress arrived yesterday.

City Chic is a chain store in Australia, and I think there's one in New Zealand. The website (with online shopping) is www.citychic.com.au. Most of the clothes are gorgeous, I think, and I love it because, at 20, I don't want to be dressing like my grandmother, and the clothes they offer are actually young. They go up to a Australian size 24 ( US size 20, I think), which isn't that big. (And the smallest is a 14, or US 10). They're not cheap, by any means, because they have no competition so they feel they can charge what they like. Clothes range from $29.95 for belts and plain tshirts to $149.95 for evening dresses, with most things (like tops, jeans, etc) between $60 and $90. BUT, I was thinking with the whole <$25 thing, if minimum wage in the US is $5/h, then $25 is 5 hours pay. Minimum wage in Aus is about $17/h (call it $15 to make the maths easy), so 5 hours pay is about $75. So some of the clothes (sort of) fit in that price range. Anyway, they're nice clothes and might be a good place to look for those of us down under. I just wanted to post another shop, in case it’s not known about.

It is called LAST CHANCE and it is where all the returns from all the Nordstrom's and Nord. Racks come. It is amazing. I bought a Svoboda coat for 9.97. (The knit one with the flounce at the waist.) Since Nordstrom's has such a liberal return policy, LAST CHANCE has many things can have a tiny rip or a button off...but there are many things that are perfect because of overstocks or the change in the seasons. This has changed my shopping for ever...shorts for 4.97, dresses 12.97. Marc Jacob dresses for 49.97. And shoes...oh my ,the shoes. People take vacations to Phoenix just to shop here. It is changing everyday all day long so it has become an addictive treasure hunt! I live in Phoenix and the queen of all discount store is here.
