Costco often has Gloria Vanderbilt "jeans" of varying styles

I agree wholeheartedly with your wife. Uneasy about buying my first low-rise jeans, I won't wear anything else now because they are extremely comfortable!

No joke - the older aunt or something was strawberry blondish. Unnaturally of course.

But damn, if they got it, why not FLAUNT IT!

There's nothing wrong with flaunting it, but it is possible to showcase your assets without dressing like you're on your way to your latest porn shoot.

If she can find regular-price pants NOT "low rise" - AKA hip-huggers - TELL ME! Only Facconable has these consistently but they are very expensive (and cool).

I hate these things, for multiple reasons.

Styles of the '90s - please LEAVE, LEAVE, LEAVE!

Not a problem. JC Penney's, Target, and other stores are trying to dress 12 year olds like 22 year old sluts.

So if the ol' people are dressing young and the young'uns are dressing "mature" then they'll meet in the middle.

Never mind on their BUTTS. 7yo's. I know, my sister would let them wear them.

Stupid, "as(s)"inine "fashion".

She looked pretty good at 18, in fact a real beauty. Haven't seen her in maybe 15 years but I bet she looks a little different.

I'm in my mid 30's and built the same way (thicker waist and slim hips). I have found my perfect jeans! Ralph Lauren makes a mid-rise, slim fit jean with a bit of stretch. They are the most comfortable jeans ever. And they look great! Everyone thinks I'm really skinny, but they never see the waist that I'm hiding. :-)

I saw a woman in t-shirt that read "spoiled brat" and it occurred to me that I have a few of those in the fridge that I grilled a few weeks ago. Time to clean out the fridge.

Brooks Brothers is good too, but they are a little more expensive. Lilly Pulitzer (also a little expensive) is good for fun clothes. Watch for those sales.

>>a trend that, if it continues, should by the 2010s center on sippy cups and purple overalls.<<

Except that's not what kids will be wearing

Thanks for the tip! I'll look them up.

(but men's Wranglers are probably still best for doing the garden and training the dog. I think Wranglers are required dress for the dog club -- especially the ones with the brush liner on the front of the legs.)

I ain't touching this one. Uh-uh. No way. This has all the makings of a tattoo thread - throw in women't vanity and this is a no-win thread.

I'll just watch the implosion, thank you!

Does Lilly still come just in those outrageous colors-not-found-in-nature?

I would look like a circus if I wore that stuff.

Land's End is more my speed.

Got a bit of an old lady hump back going on to top it off.

After I read that I stopped slouching over my computer.
