Hi Anita, again!

I just had another thought. Tomorrow I’m posting a try-on session from Soft Surroundings. I have bought kimonos there before (which would look beautiful for your reunion, by the way!) but I’d never tried on any pants there. I was amazed!!! Their pants felt really nice and well-made, but they have lots of give in them. You could wear one of their tunics (like I’m going to feature tomorrow) and/or a kimono. You really might want to give them a try. So check out my Thursday post. 😉

Hi Anita! No, skinny jeans are not for everyone, and I’m not even sure they’re for me. Ha! But there is definitely a jean out there that every woman can wear. Have you tried Talbots curvy fit jeans? I’m not sure which cut you would prefer, but they have several. And I especially like that the high rise fit is back in style. The following are all in the curvy fit:
High Rise Barely Boot Jeans – http://bit.ly/2NX2D6I
High Rise Straight leg jeans – http://bit.ly/2ODoNbn – I think these might be a good option to start with because they elongate the leg, but they shouldn’t be too tight.
Slim Ankle Jean in the curvy fit – http://bit.ly/2NUtLU4 – The “slim” in the title may scare you off, but really you never know until you try them on.
High Rise Straight Leg Jeans in the merlot (burgundy) – http://bit.ly/2ODWh9E – in case you’d like to try a pretty color

For your class reunion (how fun!) I’d suggest maybe some nice slacks with either a pretty blouse or dressy sweater, which ever you feel more comfortable and beautiful in. If you think jeans might be acceptable, I’d try these polished denim ankle pants in the curvy fit – http://bit.ly/2NTvUzg
Or you could try any of Talbots pants in the curvy fit, too. These wide leg seasonless crepe pants are marked down a little: http://bit.ly/2OGmzYV

I know Talbots are not the cheapest clothes, but they tend to be constructed for the woman’s body, and not the twiggy teen girls, so there’s that.
And of course, Chico’s also has some pretty selections that have a lot of stretch and give in them. You could put together something really fun either way. Keep it simple. A well-fit pair of pants that create a long leg, a simple but pretty silky blouse or dressy sweater, a pretty necklace and some pretty shoes.

I hope that helps, and I hope you have a great time at your reunion!
