The cute cargos and the cuffed pants? Grrrrr.) in my tall size, and a supersoft, but kind of refined hoody for under $50. I never find the tall pants on sale, so I am well-pleased. There are some cute coats there, I can see it being a great deal for a gal who needs an event dress and a coat. Or two coats. Whatever! I'm sorry about the bad Right Fit experience, but I am having the same problem. That spandex makes them too relaxed, and I need a size down now, too. Oh, well, maybe a warmer wash temperature and the dryer will help me out a little.

The one thing I wanted to get from LB and had been putting off was another pair of the Right Fit jeans. And they're basically out of petites in the 'blue' boot cut! I must say that while I like the jeans I eventually got, I had a *horrible* experience shopping for them the first time! I was told to try the red and then the yellow...neither of which fit me even remotely...and when I went to go back and try the blues they told me I 'wasn't curvy enough for those'. I have a very distinct inward curve between my waist and hips and I had pulled back the clothing I was wearing so the woman could see my true shape. The jeans fit much better than either of the others...though I ended up with a size too big...curse that 1% spandex! Ugh.

But Lane Bryant has some super adorable clothes and I'm really disappointed with these picks. Is this grandma-chic? While the cardigan almost makes the cut, (almost,) let's not forget that big girls can be trendy too! I usually ADORE this site and the advice given.
