You have to wade through, but I almost always find something worth the looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-yet-inexpensive-pants#post-80257 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 16:44:34 +0000 Chris 80257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to suggest AT, ATL and New York an Co as well as sale rack at Banana Republic. All of those stores have various fits available so through trial and error you can find something without breaking the bank.<br /> Plus, they all have sales routinely, clearance racks and coupons. </p> <p>New York and Co has some new things for Fall that are straight out of JCrew stylebook. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-yet-inexpensive-pants#post-80252 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 16:39:55 +0000 Kristen 80252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am an hourglass who is going in the other direction with weight, so I've also needed pants that were good quality but that I didn't want to spend much on. I have good luck with the sales rack at AT Loft, and at New York &#38; Co. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-yet-inexpensive-pants#post-80247 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 16:36:41 +0000 Cedar 80247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am apparently going through some kind of second puberty; I am 27 years old, and most my life, I have had the prototypical rectangle shape--boxy and straight up and down. WHen I put on weight, it tended to dispurse evently throughout my body, often giving me that lovely potato shape. However, over the past 8 or so months, my body has been increading becoming hourglass/pear-shaped. Which I have no issues with--I like my new, more feminine body. It's still weird to see a big butt and tapered waist in the mirror, but I'm ultimately happy with the way I look.</p> <p>The only problem is my wardrobe. I'm slowly replacing a lot of places that don't fit/flatter with new items. The biggest problem is pants! I literally bought two pairs less than two month ago that fit perfectly fine, but now are obscenely tight. Two months ago! It's frustrating that I'm apparently not yet done changing. I'm also frustrated at feeling like I have so little to wear--at the moment, I'm wearing mostly skirts, and have one pair of pants I feel comfortable wearing in public. </p> <p>I'm looking for a place to buy some nice, not-junky looking pants that won't cost a ton of money. I'm not ready to invest in a pair of pants that might not fit me in two months, yet I want to look professional and put together. I'm not the hugest fan of Old Navy, which tend to just hang on me funny, and the fabric is too thin. I once bought a pair of pants at Target, which looked good at first, but after two or three wearings, looked worn out and baggy. Any other ideas? </p>
