If anyone sees a bronze, sequin peplum top in XS in clearance, please let me know. I bought the size S thinking it would be cute with black jeans & strappy heels to wear to the casinos at night. Like the others, it's too big in the torso. I think I must need XS in the peplum tops. This one was only $10, so I may try to alter it, if I can't get lucky & find an XS.

Apparently, I'm a lot bigger than you. The size 4 Venetian Teal jacket barely fits me. I'll have to wear a thin top & a bra with very little padding. Oddly, the black lace jacket is the biggest on me & all of my jackets are size 4. They're sizing has gotten crazy.

Thanks for the contouring link. I need to learn how to do that too.

If you have kids, you'll get your answer to the weight question. Kurpee's amazingly small for someone with 2 kids who doesn't exercise religiously. She must have good genes.

Well, we all know why you're not fitting into things... *ahem* chesticles. Teehee
your experience is similar to mine. i feel like the teal jacket is more snug than the lace. possibly bc the lace is more stretchy. their sizing is annoying!

idk, my friend had a kid less than a year ago and she's tiny again. it did not take her long to shed the weight, and i don't think she's been doing much exercising (though her work requires her to be on her feet all day long in a hospital). however, i fully expect to outgrow all of my clothes and never fit them again if i were to have a child. it's in my genes... laugh out loud

Main thing is try not to gain too much. You really don't need that many extra calories. The books and your dr will tell you that. Dr warned me about gaining too much.

the teal feels more snug because the material is thick and non-stretch. my lace in 4 is actually a little smaller than my teal in 2 when superimposed. also the lace hugged me more and wrinkled a little below the chest. the teal felt more restricting though.

There is some info in pregnancy calorie intake. I have had friends that thought being pregnant meant being able to pig out Facepalm. If you only gain what you're supposed to, the main thing you'll fight is the stretched out skin. Also stretch mark cream on boobs and belly once you start growing.

i got a pair of stella colored jean leggings in olive. (similar to these [express.com] but a dark green) i'm not sure about them. the legs are tighter than i'm used to, but surprisingly didn't look as bad as i expected. i don't love the fabric texture but at least with the jean leggings my butt isn't squished like with the sateen ones.

thoughts? i asked DH if they made my calf look large and he called me crazy.

is yours thick, and can look dark gray? i may have returned that before, but only because i bought a lot of jeans and pants at that time and i decided to keep only one colored jeans and i picked the blue over it. i think the ones they have out now are thinner, less jean-y, and the last time i ordered them, the sizes were confusing. if you like that one, keep it, they are better than the new releases imo. i may be regretting not keeping mine at about $20.

what do you mean by less jean-y/thinner? i'm not sure i like how thick those are because they are extremely tight on my legs and i'd be worried they'd cut off circulation. laugh out loud do they stretch out like the corduroy pants?

yes, they are thick. not sure if they can look dark grey - possibly. they don't look very green to me. the 2 fits perfectly - they are very fitted. i'll try to take a photo later on but they popped up on clearance some time ago. they are not the sateen version, but the jean version (i tried a pair of sateens on clearance in store and they were very unflattering).

i don't think they stretch out. less jean-y/thinner is kinda like the extreme stretch. the ones i think you have are not like that.

Woot i grabbed the black corset skirt in 2 with a sweater and used 15 off 30! then the sweater got cancelled but it looks like the entire discount went towards the corset skirt... so it was free! Woot boy i hope my email shipment confirmation is correct! can't believe it shipped.
