I am never going shopping again!

Ok so i don't even know why i thought when i woke up this morning that pant shopping was going to go well, because it never does! Today was no exception to the rule....but i really NEEDED to find a pair of pants today because i have a closing tomorrow that i have to dress in business clothing for and my pre-pregnancy pants are no where close to fitting me so a trip to the mall was in my future.

So after a family event it was time to hit the mall....with my mother in tow for support. First stop was a juniors store <-----hahaha what the hell was i thinking??? I actually bought alot of my pants at this particular juniors store but until i am back down to my pre-pregnancy weight i think i'll just be window shopping there! Seriously though it's not a good way to start the shopping day when you have to leave a store because their biggest size is too small. Next we were on to JC Penney's where we picked out a million pairs of pants (i kid you not i literally tried on a million pairs of pants.....or so it seemed), tried them on, and the ones that did fit me in the waist came way to far over the belly button. I am only 25 years old, i am too young to be wearing "MOM JEANS" (sorry mom but they are not for me) and not to mention when they come that high in the waist they make my baby pooch seem even bigger than it actually is. So we left JC Penney's and it was on to Macy's.....well after having some serous sticker shock (do people really pay $65 for a pair of pants?) we found some pants, tried them on, and again too high in the waist. So at this point i am starting to tear up, and my husband suggests trying some of the pants from American Eagle (where he works part time and gets a pretty good discount) so it's off to AE we go.....he goes in ahead of me and grabs every pair of non jean pants they have in an 8/10/12 and puts me in the fitting room.....yeah THAT was a total bust.....and this point i'm crying i'm soo upset, so i left the mall empty handed....i have nothing to wear for the closing tomorrow (i seriously have no clue what i'm gonna wear) and i am now googling plastic surgeons because i can not look like this forever!

I also forgot to mention that my husband and i did make a quick trip to Kohl's in the afternoon and i would like to tell everyone that they are soooo disorganized it was impossible to find what i was looking for, made me even more frustrated that i already am with my size, and i will never try to buy pants there ever again (or at least not for a long while)!

If anyone in Syracuse NY is reading this, knows how to operate a sewing machine and wants to make a frustrated mom some comfy business work pants PLEASE e-mail me.....i would be forever grateful!
