Read your blog all the time but don'...Hi Sarah-<br />Read your blog all the time but don't think I have ever commented before. Love your book recommendations and have read many- thanks for those!<br /><br />Am on a similar weight loss journey & also trying to look cute & somewhat stylish without breaking the bank- muffin top is also my worst problem- my recommendations-<br /><br />I was going to say get the Gap 1969 legging jeans in the dark wash- which I think is what you bought. I have found them to be the best cheap skinny jeans- although they do stretch some & I constantly have to hike them up. I think that may be a muffin top issue though & at least they don't stretch out in the knees & rear like most cheaper jeans.<br /><br />The puffer vest is my best friend- wear them almost daily & you can get cute ones cheap at Old Navy & Lands End. These look stylish & totally hide the stomach (it's not that cold where I live though).<br /><br />If you need to look more polished at somewhere like work- do you know about the J Crew Minnie pants? I like them, but find the Ann Taylor version to be a little more forgiving when I am carrying a few extra pounds (also I am only 5'2" and AT clothes tend to fit me better than JC). Both are $98 but as I'm sure you know both have a sales constantly.<br /><br />Also ponte pants...the J Crew Pixies are the best but the Factory ones (called Gigi) are half the price & pretty good if you aren't at your best weight. The damn side zipper will make you think you might stitches but hey...what price fashion.<br /><br />Boots- just ordered the Ugg Carabys which am pretty sure are going to make all my casual outfits much more hip and probably change my life for the better!<br /><br />Hope this helps!maryleejoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423083955125930850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30058350.post-9981754072468150202013-12-09T15:55:51.534-06:002013-12-09T15:55:51.534-06:00This is my new favorite mom fashion blog--http://a...This is my new favorite mom fashion blog--http://aintnomomjeans.typepad.com/ <br />For boots, I actually got a decent pair from the Kenneth Cole Outlet that have lasted for several years, and they were much cheaper than regular Kenneth Cole boots, but still well made.

She posts lots of stuff that is mom-friendly but not dumpy--super cute tunics, swingy shirts, cardigans. A lot of it is Nordstrom stuff (often on sale) and Free People. I bought a couple things from Modcloth that she posted and I've been really happy with them!Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05946311309467296976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30058350.post-61346956538082461102013-12-09T10:30:59.140-06:002013-12-09T10:30:59.140-06:00Love the red one!

And showing more leg when I can and accessorizing with scarves detracts from my belly (or at least it does in my head).Chiconkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11824934269870487334noreply@blogger.com
