Weight 166/166.5
I can't remember if I wrote about my dilemma with blue jeans in this journal (and I'm too lazy to search) but in a nutshell...I want jeans that are 100% cotton denim, no words and/or nothing sparkly on the back end, and that don't cost more than $20. A few years ago I found Dickies brand to be exactly what I wanted, but they have succumbed to the stretchy trend that has infested so much of women's clothing these days. I searched and searched, both online and in brick-and-mortar stores to no avail. Then last week I joined a simple living forum, where one of the topics was how to save money on clothing. One suggestion was for the women to buy men's items (not only clothing either) because they're usually cheaper than women's things. And I remembered that I had saved a few pair of my husband's jeans from the last time he lost weight. I dug them out, 34 inch waist--yep, yep, that should fit, and held my breath as I tried them on. PERFECT fit! They're just a skosh too short, as his inseam is shorter than mine but otherwise, they are exactly what I want: 100% cotton denim, no fancy decoration, $10 a pair. So I am now the proud owner of two pair of Faded Glory men's jeans, 32" inseam. Who cares if they're men's?! --I sure don't! I only wish I had thought of this alternative sooner.
