New favorite jeans. . .for a while, at least
For those that I have not had a chance to tell in person, I am pregnant. I am 16 weeks (4 months) this week. My clothes have not been fitting for a while and I am fighting the maternity pants! I started buying a few pairs of bigger clothes to get me through months 3 and 4.
While I was home in DC in August, I went to an outlet mall with my Mom and a good family friend, Joan. Joan had the cutest jean skirt on with great back pocket detailing (embroidery, rhinestones) and a good wash-color. She told me that the skirt was from Chico’s Platinum Jean’s collection. There happened to be a Chico’s outlet where we were. If you are like me you heard Chico’s and said, ”I am not a 50 year old Mom; I will not shop there.” However, this was the second time I’d complimented something from Chico’s. Mike’s Aunt Shelly had the cutest embroidered jean jacket on in Maine and it was from Chico’s!
Chico’s jeans are on the expensive side ($98) but I was able to get a pair for $35 at the outlet and I just love them! Too bad they are starting to get a tad too tight in the belly!
I made another purchase from Chico’s. They’re travel collection is terrific and for those growing (like me) they are VERY stretchy and comfy. I found a great pair of pants – not the most fashionable, but I don’t care they’re comfortable!
