My friend gave me her old pair of FitFlops and they are super comfy. I was thinking about buying a different style of those too but I also don't know what I am gonna wear. I think I will have to pick outfits based on the shoes I take. lol But I do want to try some Clarks. I will check and see if their is an outlet because I need to test out sizes and styles and comfy companies. <br /><br /><br /><br />PS - I could totally get down with that skirt!Haileyhttp://www.divinemrsdiva.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034790958999231788.post-83297683020265982162014-09-05T17:28:37.674-07:002014-09-05T17:28:37.674-07:00Ok, I knew I saw a longer skirt like that on ASOS,...Ok, I knew I saw a longer skirt like that on ASOS, dammit: <a href="http://us.asos.com/ASOS-CURVE-Midi-Skirt-In-Pleated-PU/13yiqh/?iid=4251476&cid=9577&Rf900=1573&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Black&mporgp=L0FTT1MtQ3VydmUvQVNPUy1DVVJWRS1NaWRpLVNraXJ0LUluLVBsZWF0ZWQtUFUvUHJvZC8." rel="nofollow">this one.</a> <br /><br /><br />Hmm, November. Where you going? Because if it's somewhere warm, Birkenstocks are the answer. I know, I know. First Crocs and now Birks, but this shit is popular comfort footwear for a REASON. Otherwise, maybe try on some Danskos...I have a couple of pairs of their dressier shoes, and they're super comfy. On 6pm right now, they have some that are dirt-ass cheap. Just be wary...they run a little small. I am usually a 41 euro, but need a 42 in most of theirs. The Ainsley and Dixie sandals are longer, but the Harlow clogs are SHORT. My toes are almost to the ends of them. Also, if there's a Clarks outlet near you, go check those out. I have some really comfy Clarks. TRY THEM ON. The different styles run way different...in some of them I'm a 9.5, in some I'm an 11. (If you order online, make sure it's from somewhere with free returns.)<br /><br /><br />God, I'm so orthopedic on the footwear lately, but it's because my back has been so fucked up for so long. <br /><br /><br />PS - you can totally surgically remove those tummy control panels. All you need is some scissors. :)goingloopyhttp://goingloopy.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034790958999231788.post-38546883267260113942014-09-05T15:49:01.658-07:002014-09-05T15:49:01.658-07:00I love me some sparkle butt jeans!

But in my older age, I have become more aware of buying with a more practical mind so I can wear said jeans with more outfits and on more occasions. That kind of eliminates buying Sparkle Butt Jeans and none of the tattered style kind have tatters that fall in the right place...minus the ones I found at the outlet. Those are great!Haileyhttp://www.divinemrsdiva.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034790958999231788.post-72510436681605972502014-09-05T15:47:05.959-07:002014-09-05T15:47:05.959-07:00That skirt looks more like what I would want from ...That skirt looks more like what I would want from this LB one, but this one looks SUPER short. I don't want to flash my hooha! lol<br /><br />I remember that Nordstrom hoodie! It is so cute! It still isn't on sale? I don't think it is wrong to buy a dress that matches your eyeliner. Just make sure you wear it! I am bad at buying shit too. I have had to put a serious block on shopping lately because we started planning our November vacation and actually buying tickets for things. I did really good, but now I need to start planning outfits and find more comfy shoes to wear since we will be doing a lot of walking.<br /><br />I have been hit and miss with the jeans at LB. Sometimes I find some I LOVE and sometimes I don't find anything. I think last time I tried on a lot of them, they were just way too long....like a 12 inches longer than what they needed to be. I have to buy Petite there now and I am considered tall in comparison to my friends. lol All the jeans I thought about trying on had a tummy control panel in them, so I didn't bother. I had some capris a few years ago from them that I loved, but they had that tummy control panel and were way too thick and hot. I have a much better time of finding jeans at the outlet stores. And bras....gurl....I decided I am wearing the wrong bra size. I need to go up a band size and I should be a Bcup, but going up a band size - the cup is too big and they don't make a 44A.Haileyhttp://www.divinemrsdiva.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034790958999231788.post-17342831743385974872014-09-05T06:09:38.215-07:002014-09-05T06:09:38.215-07:00I'm so glad I'm not the only one who is pr...I'm so glad I'm not the only one who is pretty much done with LB. Their jeans fit me well, but the loads of extra crap they do to and put on those jeans makes them completely unwearable. I've noticed the quality slipping in a lot of their stuff, too. You're not alone!Bethany Pearcynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034790958999231788.post-27018401551999830912014-09-04T16:11:05.766-07:002014-09-04T16:11:05.766-07:00Lane Bryant is almost dead to me right now. Their...Lane Bryant is almost dead to me right now. Their jeans suck, their workwear isn't as good as it used to be, and I feel like the quality is not the same anymore. Plus, they refuse to stock many bras in a 48 band size, which pisses me off...yes you can order online, but then they don't fit worth crap. Also, all their tights now are control top, which just makes my natural muffin top worse. <br /><br /><br />That said, I was really tempted when I saw that vest on you on FB, because it looks SO FREAKING CUTE. (I like that hoodie, too, but I've rarely encountered a hoodie I don't love. I'm still contemplating the $98 one from Nordstrom...) However, I seriously need to stop buying shit. I hit up the Igigi sale and bought a totally impractical dress (the plum/gold cocktail dress) because it matches my eyeliner. Is that wrong? Also, I bought a striped wrap dress that I think I'm too stupid to work and one of the lace peplum tops (which I love, and I love that the tank & top are separate so I can wear other colors...the shell is black & white so it will match all the things!). <br /><br /><br />I want late 90's-early 2000s Lane Bryant back, dammit. I still own MULTIPLE things from that era. Nothing I've bought recently measures up :(goingloopyhttp://goingloopy.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034790958999231788.post-35739527515278091602014-09-04T13:27:52.726-07:002014-09-04T13:27:52.726-07:00They have some cute patterns in the bras!

I've lost enough weight that I should be comfortably in a 22/24, but a lot of it still seems a little too clingy....and then the 26/28 is just way too big. I bought skinny jeans at the outlet this summer that are a 22 and they fit great....but in the normal store sometimes the 24 is snug. It is frustrating.Haileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03713544664215054553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034790958999231788.post-34877462468787103382014-09-04T04:00:26.802-07:002014-09-04T04:00:26.802-07:00I love the vest on you.

I'm so sorry. BUT I do have them all lined up and ready. I am trying to get a post out every day this week!<br /><br />Some of the middle section was the new Rock Chic stuff and I liked a lot of the pieces, but I still had this list of specific things I was looking for in my head which made me skip some of the things I would have picked up otherwise. I still want to go in again when I have more time and just try everything on. My body has changed a bit, so I need a better idea of what works and doesn't and what sizes I can wear in things. I love those striped tees, I just wish they had fit my body the way I wanted them too. I really didn't want to have to wear my Spanx tank underneath them or I would have gotten the smaller size. Tis a bummer. But I am going to keep my eye on them. I could totally tuck it into my black skirt. hmmmm<br /><br />I almost got the purple statement necklace too because it was gorgeous! It is the first one I tried on actually. Then I felt this one was more practical and it looked great with my hair. Sometimes my practicality gets in the way. lolHaileyhttp://www.divinemrsdiva.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034790958999231788.post-29747380772567756862014-09-03T14:58:56.584-07:002014-09-03T14:58:56.584-07:00Ooooooh- I loved reading this!

My favorite look is the black and gray striped tee with the vest. I just dressed a mannequin with that vest yesterday and thought "meh", but I love it on you! And I love those tees. I want the black and white striped one, and maybe the two-tone brown one. They're such a nice, stretchy knit, and they'll work with both jeans and tucked into skirts (a la how I wear everything...).<br /><br />I'm also a fan of several pieces of the jewelry you picked out. Isn't the burnished gold and crystal statement necklace gorgeous?! I love it in both the crystal and the pink/purple designs. I know what you mean about workwear being so dominant right now, but yesterday we launched the Rock Chic collection. Were you in store for that? It's running down the center aisle, and it's a lot of black and white stuff with an edge. Many of the pieces also have glitzy embellishment, so I think you might like some of it!<br /><br />Off to get caught up on more of your posts!<br /><br /><3 Liz<br />www.withwonderandwhimsy.comLiz @withwonderandwhimsyhttp://www.withwonderandwhimsy.com/noreply@blogger.com
