All about the elastic...

[smittenbyu]

You know, how you find that one pair of jeans that fits and you feel like THE happiest woman in the world?! Jeans shopping is my least, absolutely least favourite of clothes shopping.

And thanks to voyageofdreams comment, I haven't worn jeans in forever. I don't even know where they are! My wardrobe is filled now with dresses!! I really did go all out!! I finally wore my jeans capri pants last week after a month!! They are more forgiving!

ah well, but this post is not about me but about D feeling like the happiest girl in the world. We FINALLY found like three pair of shorts that actually fit her. Fair enough, I only looked at target and bought like 10 of which three fit. Fit in a sense they are not just sliding off. It seems someone complained about the elastic being too elastic-y to Target? And so now all their elastic are not-at-all-elasticy, it's a decorative piece.

So, this morning I can just picture D going to her favourite teacher and showing off her shorts that finally fit her!!! While I have to donate 4-5 of them to goodwill. Silly me for assuming that all 4Ts would be created the same by the same company, removed tags and washed them. Ah well, some one else will benefit.

I really need to clean up the sewing machine and add my own elastic bands..... It will happen in time for winter!

I find jeans a lot easier than regular trousers. Jeans at least have a width and a length. I can dig for 34-34 and they usually fit me. Other trousers seem to be made either for tall anorexic women or little round Yoda type people but tall and with hips is not in scope.

I'm glad you found your fit though and one for D as well 1:-)
