Perhaps I am the only one, actually, I'd put money on me being the only one, but the poll on the side is crackin' me up! Who would have thought the brunettes would be winning! I thought it would be between redheads and blondes. I can rag on those brunettes because truthfully I am one, though I'm happy to keep on pretending I'm not. It's been brunettes and redheads neck n' neck. We'll see....
So, the other day as I was buckling Judah in his carseat, I went to flip my hair out of my face, in doing so I whacked my head on the side of our van. It was such a special, feel good moment.
You know I looked around to see if anyone saw me.... You would have too. Don't lie. But I only did that after I shook the stars from my head. Geez, it hurt! I've had quite a headache ever since. I feel so dumb...
Okay, the jeans. Am I the only one who didn't know Victoria's Secret carried jeans? I had no clue they made jeans. Underwear, bras, overpriced lingerie, lotions... yes. Jeans, nope. I guess I have seen a catalogue by them, but it was a long time ago and apparently it never really registered.
Anyone else glad that places like Target and Kohls now carry some really cute, sexy nighttime wear?! I have spent way too much money at Victoria's Secret in the past 7 years...
Anyways, I have tried on Old Navy jeans and I really don't like them. It may be because I don't do spandex. O.N. jeans always seem to fit me wrong. But hey, I am not opposed to trying them again next time I'm at the store. Man, I sure am missing Plato's Closet!
Right now I am going in between these jeans from Gap:
or these, also from Gap:
or these from J.Crew
And I know, I'm sticking with what I said I wanted to get away from. But, I don't have any stores that were mentioned ie: American Eagle, Old Navy, Ann Taylor Loft, Target (sob!) etc. in my town/city/I don't know which it is. Next time I am in "the city" I will try multitudes of those brands on. But for now I guess I'll have to go with what I know fits me. The sizing can be so weird! J.Crew runs big, which can be a really good boost! I feel like I'm teeny tiny when I look at the tags! Gap and Target run big also. Do they do it on purpose, you think? All so you will profess your undying love to them because it looks like you wear a size 6 when truly you are a size 8?
I think way too much.
Oh, I am making Black bean chowder tonight for dinner with cornbread. I hope it will be really good. I don't know why I am making soup! It's suppose to be in the 90's... I feel like it should be getting fall-ish. After 27 years of living in states with four seasons I am very programed! I want to pull out my long sleeve shirts and see some leaves changing. Not going to happen. At least anytime soon.
One more thing... I promise. I have my first photography class tonight. Aaaaahhhh!!! I am nervous.
Alright... I will end this most random post I have ever written. Sometimes, like today, I feel like I am sitting with you, drinking coffee, and we just talk. You know?

I am personally a huge fan of wide-legged jeans. They make me look even skinnier. Since I have no a## or boobs I always play up my smaller waist (which, by the way has gotten smaller since my overweight post).
And as for the jeans running large - yes, they do do this on purpose and have for a while. Retailers call it "vanity sizing" and I am like a 0 or something at the Limited bc of it. Which I'll admit I love.
You said coffee. Which I am totally addicted to. And now must go make a pot.
love the j.crew ones. the color is great. They really know how to market...all of the models have no hips or booty and makes you think..Oh, is that how I can look if I wear those? I am not deceieved but, the jeans do look awesome. They'd look great on you. :)
I don't have a pair of either of the jeans you pictured above but I reallllly like the look of the JCrew ones...so you should go with those :)
and as a side note, I am pretty sure children get cuter by the day!
I actually haven't bought new jeans for myself in a while, but the jeans I have from the Gap (long and lean) fit me great and have lasted well for a few years now. My only complaint is that I like to have some design on the back pockets and they are plain. I've heard from girlfriends that the Express has awesome jeans (called the boyfriend fit, I think) that are really nice, too.
I just finished my coffee this morning with a new creamer (cinnamon vanilla creme) and it only took me 3 hours and several reheats with all the interruptions of daily life! But it was good regardless!
I love all those jeans! Very cute!
I can't wait to hear about your photography class, I'm sure you're going to have a lot of fun!
Hope your headache gets better! I hit my head on the light in our van all the time--it hangs too low--totally the van's fault, not mine.
I am a fan of long & lean Gap too, especially because I'm neither. I get mine on eBay though.
you'll look great in all those pairs--especially with your "favorite shoes". Let's see some photos when you've decided.
I like all 3 pairs of the jeans but I am partial to dark jeans, so i would go with the top Gap or the J. Crew.
I can't wait for jeans weather, tired of the 90's but it will be at least another month or so.
I enjoyed coffee with you today. I do like the pictures you posted on the jeans.....
The J Crew ones are my fav!
This is pretty much how all my posts are LOL
I liked it :)
I think either of the jeans you posted would look great on you.
You know I'm w/ ya on the redhead thing. LOVE being a redhead...definately way more fun.
My new favorite pair of jeans is the Long and Lean Jeans from Gap. I get the tall since I'm obviously tall. I'm due for a new pair so I'm interested to hear what others recommend.
I have soooo done the flip my hair/hit my head fabulous moment. And I definitely looked around quick. And then cryed. It hurt! I hope your headache gets better before your class! Can't wait to hear how it goes :)
I just bought a pair of jeans at TJMaxx (love that place). They are Lola by Hydraulic. Never heard of them before, but they're great. Beautifully distressed. I think they do have a little stretch in them, but it's working for me anyway. I don't know if they made Jordan's knees go weak, but he sure did have a goofy smile on his face when I tried them on :)
Love the jeans. I remember living in the town you are in. The mall (ha ha ) is so limited. We went to Lubbock or Amarillo every couple of months. If nothing else to eat elsewhere then what your little town offers.
I miss it. Wish I was still there. Still own a house there. Really need to come back and check on it at some point.
let me know how the soup is, I wanted to try that one, too!
Okay, you are smokin' something, Target runs SMALL!!!!!! Well, actually, Target pants just DON'T fit me. And I LOVE Old Navy. They are the only pants that fit me. Most pants, once I get them big enough to fit the butt, they are too big in the waist. HA!
I'm an ole' lady so I like ANA jeans at JCPenny. Plus they are totally affordable. I will have to check out target and old navy though.
Can't wait to see what you do with all your new found knowledge
old navy's jeans are TERRIBLE! i'm very attracted to all the pairs you picked, and clearly, you'd rock any one of them very well.

I've been very bad lately about lurking and not commenting on your posts! I like JCrew jeans too, and yes the sizing is whacked!!! I'm totally wearing a six and I am actually an eight - whatever. I like the Gap Long and Leans too, and actually splurged last year before I became pg and bought a pair of Sevens - super pricey but for me they were worth every penny. They hug me like nothing else, they wash like nothing else, they make me feel completely and totally perfect. They are soft and fit "just right". I love them . . . and certainly can't afford another pair now that I have THREE kids and am not working!!
I hope the cloth diapering is going better - it is very tricky to find the right type. I alternate between fuzzibunz (which I don't find great for chubby Leah, but were perfect for my skinny boys when they were babes) and using a fitted diaper with a cover over top - she NEVER leaks out of those. I have a friend who makes some for me. I can pass on some suggestions if you'd like, or you should check out www.diaperswapper.com - it's the largest online cloth diaper community around. It's free to join, lots of tips, selling and buying going on!
And I had to laugh about your comment about Eliza catching up to your older two - SAME here! Leah is 19 pounds, while David is only 26 and Pete is barely 33. She'll be showing them who's boss in no time :-)
Go brunettes!!!
BTW - I'm heading over to Platos Closet this week to get my first pair of post maternity jeans. I'm desperate! I would not have known about the store if it wasn't for your post some time back. Wish you could join me.
Oh and I'm NOT a fan of Old Navy jeans either. They never fit very well. Gap just seems to get it right every time!
I really like the second ones...they look so chic! You will look beautiful in them. :)
If only we could all get together and have coffee! It seems like you meet the nicest people over in blog land and struggle to meet decent people around you, well that's how I am.
You are going to do great with the photography class, your pictures already capture your childrens happiness and the beauty around you.
Wow, so much going on in your life...Eve off to Kindergarten, and the wee one already 8 months. Where does the time go? Loved your random thoughts, but I prefer them over a hot cup of tea..... :)
I think the JCrew ones are my favorite, too!
Oh, hon, I love the second ones from the Gap! So cute!
What style are they? I loved wide leg, flared out jeans...my favorite!
I feel you on the no Target :( Although they are building one pretty close to where we live--yay! Keesler just keeps getting better and better :)
