Pants, pants for everyone!
New York and Company is one of my favorite stores -- I'm even wearing one of their tops now. It's not that the clothes cause tingly feelings of OH MY GOD, SO AMAZING, but they have the best basics, really nice saturated colors and awesome sales. I can't go in without snagging another $10 cardigan I in absolutely no way need.
NY&Co. is also my best friend because they have -- wait for it -- petite pants! As a certified hobbit, I can't tell you how many trousers I own from this store. They seem to understand that not all women are the size of those walking tree people from Lord of the Rings (cheese almighty, that movie makes me want to go to sleep forever. Anyway...)
I might have to shop my pants off (har har) soon. They're having a bomb sale -- buy one pair of pants, get the second 75 percent off. Between this and my cardigan addiction, I'm sure I won't make my car payment this month. But one must have priorities.
