Yesterday I went to the mall to return some shoes. I didn't find any that I liked but I did wander into a store having a sale on jeans and found some that I really liked. I have been waiting for jeans to go on sale at Maurices for a long time because that is one of the only places in my little town that has jeans with length of 35. I tried on a pair of Silvers and they were the best fitting, best looking jeans I have ever put on...but they are $72!!! The girl helping me was trying to convince me that it was a great day to buy them because the second pair was only $36, so my total for two pair of jeans would be just over $100. I wanted to tell her that I was a teacher's wife with five kids and that was half of my food budget for the week (what would we eat, food storage?) but I settled for the old standby, "My husband would kill me!" I can't bring myself to tell these cute store clerks how I really feel, that that is a vain waste of money, because maybe she was wearing a pair. My sisters are always telling me about clothes that cost a lot but this was my first encounter with a pair of jeans on my body with a price tag sticking out that was over $50. I came away with two pair of great fitting store brand jeans on sale for just over $20 each. That is more my style.
I also got a haircut that, including the tip, was less than $20. So today I got dressed, did my hair and felt like a million bucks but didn't spend it!!

You look great! What a fun day!
You know, those things do give you a lift. I am lucky I am so short. I can get my jeans at Ross.
Julienne, you look so cute! It is so fun to spend time on yourself and make yourself look and feel cuter! I wish I had cute maternity jeans. I'm not much of a shopper though.
You look fabulous!
You need 35 inseam jeans?? LUCKY! I'm such a shorty, but not quite short enough for "short" jeans--so awkward. You are looking FAB!
Are those really your legs?! Or did you cut and past some 17 year old model??!! I am really jealous right now. :)
when I saw the picture of the first jeans, I was waiting for miracle were the sales lady says. Those are on clearance for $5. They look great. Love the hair cut!
