I've given up and I just find pants that fit in the hips and take in the waist a few inches. Ugh, raincoaster, I have the same problem.

I'm very hourglassy, and even with a belt low-rise jeans tend to slip down. Since I'm not actually a shoplifter, I have no use for this. I actually looked into getting suspenders, but they're too Mork from Ork for my liking. Jeans that have a waistband that hits the waist stay up. Since I'm short, I buy low-rise jeans and half the time they come to my waist anyway...ten inches too wide. Glinda, I have to start taking you jeans shopping with me.

I smacked him. Then I asked him what that meant. He said it was perfectly coiffed (sp??) suburbuan looking mom-hair. And I REALLY loved that haircut. LOVED. IT.

I would be slightly afraid of the captioning, I think! Basically, she cut off about five inches, leaving the longest length to the top of my shoulder blades. Then, she layered a second "level" if you will, with face-framing layers that can either flip up or be scrunched wavy if I want. Since she cut off a lot of length, my hair will do a slight wave now. I like it a lot, and so does my husband. It was a nice compromise, as it doesn't just "hang there" like it did before. It has lots of movement, but still qualifies as long. Ha!

What is it with men and long hair? Ditto all of that except whenever I announce I'd like a haircut, something different and perhaps maybe, dare I say *gasp* shorter my husband nearly has a heart attack. Cut? Your? Hair? Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyy? It's so pretty long. Says the man with the easy military high and tight and who has *no* idea how hard it is to take care of hair longer than a half inch. So, I'll get a trim and then it's grown out to mid back length, again, where it is now. Not flattering to my face but can't tell him that. Love him. I want to look good for him but, my hair? Has been known to attack people. I call it the Kraken. Two days ago I found a few strands wrapped around my baby's neck. Really. Last week I told that I'm cutting my hair and I showed him three pictures of preapproved by me styles I like. Actually it was the same style just short, medium and long. He picked the medium! Wow! Color me surprised! Now I have to find someone who can cut curly hair and who won't try to blow dry it straight. I might just do it myself. Having just had a baby three months ago I can't even begin to think about new clothes. I'm still stuck with all this baby weight. Would you post a pic of your new 'do? We can caption it. *grin* Oh oh oh oh the hair! What is it with men and long hair?

This trend has been a blessing, since my jeans no longer go up to my boobs. (I have very long legs for my height, so nothing really fits anyway) As a big girl, I am in love with Lane Bryant's Right Fit jeans. They are not for everyone, but there are those of us that they are made for. I so have mom hair, though. I just got it all cut off again....

I have some that I really like, and they are more comfortable than the high-rise. You can get a set of low-ish rise, they don't have to be all the way down to your crotch, ya know!
