you know when you hit that seasonal changeover in your clothing? when you can't wear the shorts and capris anymore because it's just a little too cold, when you have to pull out the pants from last winter? you know the feeling you have when you try on that first pair and you are overjoyed when they fit, sometimes better than the last time you wore them 6 months ago? i don't have this issue with shirts, just pants...
all spring and summer i wore eddie bauer's vashon fit capris. i LOVED them, i bought a pair in almost every color. they were really comfortable, and i haven't always worn really comfortable clothing. struggling with my weight hasn't been good for choosing clothing, so i will just deal with what i can find most of the time. but in january, i found the vashon fit and i fell in love. so vashon is a low waisted pant fit and i've always worn my pants/capris at or above waist level. it just felt safer that way. i wouldn't show off anything i didn't want to be seen. i thought waist high fit was pretty comfy.
until this week when i pulled out my waist fit pants. man, those are HIGH waisted pants! so i concede, low waisted pants are more comfortable. julie, you were right. :) note: they aren't super low, which i appreciate, they are just a little bit lower. i think i'll have to head over to eddie bauer for some more pants... :)
now on to the other half of my title: STUDIO CALICO.

I totally agree about the high waisted pants. Once you have worn the lower waisted ones, you don't want the others! Can't wait for the reveal tonight and you surprise in a few days!
i'm looking for a good pair of khakis, i will have to try eddie bauer. =)
LOVE love love Eddie Bauer pants. They fit so well. Have you tried JJill? I bet you'd like those too. Looking forward to checking out the SC gallery. Always a joy :) xo
I am beyond excited about tonight! And I'm REALLY sick right now. So I shouldn't be staying up so late. So... I'll be sleeping ALL DAY LONG, in order to not pass out at 11pm while I'm buying SC goodies!
And I love low-waisted pants too, but not TOO low. Lower than my belly button. Not so low that you can see my cute Gap panties. :p My favorite jeans are Long and Lean from Gap and Mia from Express. Yummy!
Mid-rise pants are the best! Especially when having a squatty body as I do. I hate pants that go past my belly button :)
lol... i love mid rise pants as well, the high ones make me feel suffocated :D
just checked out the gallery my dear and you are a-rockin'. some of my faves are yours...and i'm just so happy you are officially inspiring us with the SC yummies ;)
I am going green by continuing my efforts to make changes. I already use reusable grocery bags and I am looking into an option to make my own laundry detergent at the moment.
gorgeous pages! cant wait to see the rest
This month looks great... just like every other month!!
Love the Eddie Bauer vashon fit and the sneak peak!
OOOH! Comment #2 from me. You're special!! Not sure if you get Real Simple magazine, but... there is a 15% off coupon for Eddie Bauer in there this month. I can always send you mine. I don't even know where the nearest Eddie Bauer is! Should I?! ;)
Great giveaway! I am 38 and although I don't have the Eddie Bauer pants (intrigued tho and might have to hunt them down!!!) I DO wear low waisted jenas and pants and don't like the high waist anymore!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
