The Waiting Room

Unlike some of my blog-mate, I enjoy shopping. But there are two thing that I HATE to shop for; swimwear and jeans. Shopping for swimwear is an exercise in futility. There is nothing redeeming about it, no mater what size or shape you are.

Jeans come in a close second. I am 5’ 4’’, on a good day. I have a small waist and some junk in the trunk. So jeans are either too big in the waist, too tight in the hips, or too long. . I can try on 20 pairs and still not find that perfect fit. Also, I hate the whole low rise thing. Low rise jeans have contributed to America’s growing crack problem. Then there is the dreaded “Mom-Jean”. If you don’t know about the mom jean, you are probably wearing them right now!

The other day, Oprah had a jeans intervention with Stacey for TLC’s “What Not to Wear”. She had some great suggestions for those of us who would rather go to the dentist that shop for jeans.
