Too bad I didn't listen. I hope your friend showed greater wisdom than I did!Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03433459858260551520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316487893146431972.post-30932578199259126132013-11-05T10:56:55.911-08:002013-11-05T10:56:55.911-08:00Why thank you Jan!

Tops, jackets, skirts and dresses tend to be where I gravitate. I'm sure I'll get to the trouser aisle eventually, just like I finally got to the skinny jeans. <br /><br />Oh, and my seamstress does sleeves. I'm heading to her shop later today to pick up the bag of items I left with her last week. I can't tell you how tickled I was when I realized I could have sleeves and pant legs that are the right length.

Good for you. Ignore the biatches on the sales floor. You look fabulous ... and look at you stylin' that very pretty blouse.<br />At 5', I've never had any that didn't need altering. I just fold under most of my skinnies, but nowadays I just roll um' up and go for it. <br />So happy to see our Onion Girl showing off another of her many lovely layers! Good for you. You look fabulous.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630135395645059302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316487893146431972.post-85705039449321575862013-11-04T19:52:09.184-08:002013-11-04T19:52:09.184-08:00Love the name...Yoga Jeans...and they're in th...Love the name...Yoga Jeans...and they're in three retail stores within a stone's throw. The thrift stores are my first love, but I'm willing to cheat a little from time to time. And lest you think otherwise...I am very good, a master really, at procrastinating when it comes to hemming pants! So bravo for just stepping up and getting a seamstress to hem for you. If she does sleeve hems well, never let her go!Sue @ A Colourful Canvashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15509898677660889672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316487893146431972.post-30551552014715305022013-11-04T15:57:47.456-08:002013-11-04T15:57:47.456-08:00LOL -- I was saying this kind of thing to someone ...LOL -- I was saying this kind of thing to someone recently.
