Thanks for ideas. </p> <p>I am thinking about waiting a month or two (until after my vacation) for new jeans. I have quite a few pairs that do fit. It's just the dark wash trouser jeans that are too big and a few other pairs that I am not sad about leaving the closet.<br /> I do wear denim to work now about 75% of the time - fun to dress it up and also easy and comfortable. But I have enough options in the closet to be able to wait and see how size stabilizes (I think!). Good suggestions on brands too Denise! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hi-and-a-readers-question#post-696484 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 17:51:49 +0000 CocoLion 696484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I seem to recall seeing some cool readers at Anthropologie, but not 100% sure. For frame of reference, I purchased some sunglasses there and they were $38.</p> <p>As for new jeans, what kind are you looking for -- skinny, bootcut, straightleg, flare, etc. I am a big fan of premium denim but have also had luck with (don't laugh) the Urban Outfitters store brand BDG. Their jeans are around $58 and fit well for the price. I like Zara jeans as well but their fit is inferior to the UO jeans I think. If you're thinking premium, J Brand fit extremely well, as do True Religion and Rag &amp; Bone (on me, at least). Really all of the premium brands have good product and I frequently get mine at 30% off on Shopbop.<br /> <a href="http://www.shopbop.com/sale-denim/br/v=1/2534374302076347.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopbop.com/sale-de.....076347.htm</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hi-and-a-readers-question#post-696452 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 16:45:36 +0000 MNsara 696452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Eyebobs - if I can find them on sale. I also got a great pair at Nordstrom Rack by Corrine McCormack (gosh that was hard to read cuz I had to take them off to read it!). They were also on sale at $20, I think.</p> <p>My cheapest ones are from Marshall's - usually a 3-pack - but the 'correction' is not as nice as the better brands. I buy +2.0 in all of them and they are NOT created equal! </p> <p>Nice side effect of busy work - the looser pants Not worth altering though? It would seem that for a few $$ each pair, you could be back in the wearing and save yourself another search. Or maybe try ONE pair to see if it's worth doing any more? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hi-and-a-readers-question#post-696427 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 16:24:58 +0000 christieanne 696427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good morning from the foggy Bay! </p> <p>I have been lurking around periodically (blog post at least and one or two forum posts are all I can daily) and have given up trying to catch up even once a week. I miss seeing all the stylish and inspiring daily WIW posts and the goings on at YLF though. </p> <p>I am still on the hunt for lightweight tops and blouses (especially if I can layer for cooler weather) and now finding some of the pants I bought a few months ago are already too big for me. (And I am not even attempting to lose weight - just the effect of crazy days at work - walking and eating small fairly healthy snacks/meals).<br /> Luckily I didn't invest a lot of $$ since cost per wear is pretty high on those already. Thinking consignment since they are like new. </p> <p>So I will need new jeans again and also , new "readers". The kind you can pick up at the drugstore or somewhere. I wear contacts but need the supplemental glasses for fine print (eye dr. recommended).<br /> But are there chic or stylish versions? I have found the Zoom brand to have fun styles but looking for other options. Not too pricey since I lose them and break often it seems. </p>
