actually a "denim pant," which is pretty much what I wanted anyway.

Got them at the 40% off deal yesterday. The regular length is about an inch too short, and the "long" is about 3" too long. So I bought the longs. If I decide to keep them, I'll wash them to see how much they shrink. If they're still crazy long, I'll have them hemmed.
I also have a concern about the back pocket - it has that little flap over it. I've had issues with those kindof curling up in the wash and never laying flat and looking really stOOpid. Thoughts? I am so not ironing jeans.
Other shopping successes - got 4 button-down, 3/4 sleeve work shirts at walmart for $14 each. I might have to have them taken in a little at the waist, because I had to go up 1-2 sizes to fit my giant manshoulders. I may return one or two, because 4 of the same shirt (in different colors/stripe) is perhaps too much. Also went to Old Navy, where I spnet about $130 on 3 pair of pants, a swimsuit (ugh), a shirt, a little sweater shrug thing, and 2 shirts for Dex. I am almost outfitted for my return to work in less than 2 weeks (sad).
Off to zappos to try to find some cute shoes. I had a shoe epiphany the other day when I looked at the rack and just saw a sea of black and brown.
Speaking of zappos - how do you find out about the $9.99 Nine West sales? Just word of mouth, or can you sign up for an email or something?
Re: found my jeans!!
