before we get to the pants Party, I want to acknowledge that today is my 300 Days of makeup No-Buy!!! and this will be my final No-Buy badge before I’m finished my yearlong ban.
I’m SO psyched to be finished my No-Buy, you can’t even imagine!
Random: Did you know that in 10 pin bowling, 300 is the ideal score? This is achieved by getting a strike 12 times in a row.
So, I recently purchased four pairs of pants! I haven’t purchased pants in ages. Hence, the Pants Party:
That’s Brick, from anchor Man… I just couldn’t help myself, heh.
First, I stopped into Express. I haven’t been in express for a while and was thinking of getting some new work pants – I’ve been stuck in a rut of black and grey dress pants lately. I was in an adventurous mood and took a risk with trying these on:
Columnist ankle in Geo Print
People who know me, know that these are completely out of my comfort zone! I do NOT wear patterned pants, nor do I like tapered legs. Something possessed me to purchase them, and I actually liked how they look. Since it was BOGO 50% off for pants at Express, I also purchased the same cut of pants but in a solid maroon colour:
Again, this is completely out of the norm for me. I do not own a single pair of pants outside of the black – grey – navy colour spectrum. Досега! I received a bunch of compliments when I wore the Geo print ones to work (sporting heels just like the model!) So I guess I chose well!
Then I discovered a new pop-up shop at the mall called Hyba. It’s a Lululemon-esque yoga / active lifestyle type of store focused on providing a broad range of sizes from XS to 2X. Turns out it’s a sub-brand of Reitmans, a Canadian women’s apparel chain, which also operates Smart Set, RW and their namesake Reitmans, stores. Hyba was running a promotion in the store where their athletic bottoms were all $34 each (regularly $40 each) or purchase 2 for $60. So I chose to take the plunge into 2 pairs of slim yoga-styled pants:
Hyba slimming pants in Grey mix and Black
This is NOT my typical look – I mostly wear jeans on the weekends – but I’m prepared to try something different. I can wear these with flats / sneakers or boots. What I loved about this store is that they offer a pant length called “Ultra Petite” with a 28″ inseam, and it was ideal for me. They also carry regular (32″), petite (30″) and tall (34″) – talk about catering to everybody. Can’t wait to wear these!
So that’s my pants Party. Have you purchased any clothes lately?

Честита Нова Година! and a new focus for 2016Happy new Year, everyone! I wish you the best in health and happiness for 2016! 🙂 I discussed yesterday that January is probably the worst time to start a No-Buy because there are so numerous temptations with clearance sales and the winter season months are ripe for hibernating and shopping. И…
