Newport news, Spiegel & ABLambdin are all related companies, you might be able to find something similar in their clearance sections, but they are not always the friendliest website navigation around, so have your patience stocked up.

Today. Blue pattern shear/layered skirt w/one-shoulder black sweater. Seychelles brown leather boots with side pouches - probably gonna lose the chance for boots pretty soon - supposed to be up in the 90's this weekend.

Samia - didn't mean to abandon you the other day, but I certainly felt all frumpy in sweats, built 2 kids desks for my girls. Oh, 50 min on the bike today. Cute yellow sweater, I can't wear yellow at all.

So I tried taking a photo today, and let me tell you... it's really hard to get that "flash blocking out the face" look! I was trying out a few outfits that I bought for a trip we're planning this weekend, so I'll share some highlights:

My favorite so far is this babydoll top. I love this style, but have been having major boob issues since DD was born. I can actually wear this shirt and not look like a hooker!! And the pants! This is the first pair of pants that I can say actually FIT me since I wore a size 6 in high school!!! (LOL, I know.. the good old days) All thanks to the fact that I finally gave up trying to find clothes that I could *make* fit me, and finally stopped turning up my nose at the "women's section." Both of these came from Layne Bryant. The jeans are part of their 'right fit' line, and let me tell you.. I love that they got rid of the conventional sizes. I wear a size 3 now!!!

Hey everyone! This is my first outfit in this thread, I'm excited! I'm a size 14-18 [depending on the clothes]

My whole outfit today is from my FAVORITE store, TORRID! Hope you all like!

Welcome to the thread, pic-wise. Nice summery outfit. I can only look at Torrid online, I think there's only 1 or 2 in my state - and they are over the mountains.

Everyone looks wonderful on this thread! woo hoo!


My outfit today is Levi's 515 boot cuts, with a GEORGE white t-shirt from Walmart underneath a black cardigan. The Murano millefiori watch is a gift from sis from Venice.

Tell me what you think about the jeans... I feel I finally found jeans that fit my derriere very nicely, and minimal gape at the back of the waist. I can't believe I waited so long to try a sz 16; I'd been wearing 18 and looked sloppy all the time. I'd like to hear from others on how the fit looks to you. Is it still sort of baggy or is length too long? (it is a Levi's misses short and I'm already wearing Harley Davidson pointy mules w/ 2-1/2" heel).

I'm size 14 top/16 bottom, 5' 4", 180+ lbs. A couple questions:

Does anyone know if a size 16 Levi's Misses short is the same in a Levi's size 16 Petite in fit? The Misses short has a 30" inseam; ideally I would like closer to a 28/29" inseam...

Has anyone tried the Levi's 512 Curvy jeans? I am very curious about these, they are supposed to fit all over AND eliminate the space at the waist....

sorry this is so long/rambling, I've been waiting and waiting to set up a full length mirror in the proper area and it isn't happening; I really want to post pics here to share!

Thanks Samia! I love your yellow cardigan/sweater.

Galligator- I love Torrid! They always have a lot of nice stuff, the prices are pretty reasonable, and they are usually good quality!
