Mazie's Method

Ladies, you are not the only ones that read this blog!  Some of the very fashionable (read: metro-sexual) gentlemen are taking part in asking questions.  I will, however post items for the ladies, and gents, if you really need some help, call my husband.  He is a disciple of mine, and doing quite well!

Ladies, I realize that some of you don’t like to wear jeans to be casual or sweats even.  A good option of course, is cargo pants.  I have been madly in love with cargo pants for years!  Some people refuse to wear them because “they make your hips look big.”  I beg to differ.  I think that if you have the correct size cargos and of course, perfectly placed pockets, then you are good to go!

One designer that I am currently in love with is XCVI.  The clothing is a bit pricey and, of course, I buy everything on sale.  But, their material is really really soft.  I am a big fan of their waist bands and their ruching.  I think their clothing is very flattering and comfortable.  Check them out.  They are sold at a bunch of places on the net and I think you can find a good deal!

If you are looking for a cropped cargo, check out Jag.  Zappos carries this line.  I think these are cute and good for cruise wear.  I am thinking of waiting till they go on sale some more and snag them for my Disney trip in April!

When in doubt, I hit Old Navy for some cargos.  They are comfortable and I can wear them to death for one season.  The prices are good and I can replace them the next season.  I will admit tho that I have a few pairs from years ago that I still wear and they are in really good shape!

Now, I am going to admit something here, that may make me look like a bit of a weirdo…but this summer my friend and I went to the NKOTB concerts (read: several).  Donnie Wahlberg, God Bless his soul, calls his fans ‘soldiers.’  Trying, of course, to get into the meet n greet, we were advised by DDUB himself, to dress like a soldier.  This is not a problem for me.  I have always and will always have a pair of fatigue cargos in my closet.

For my pregnant plus size ladies, I offer you these cargos from Motherhood.  They are adorable and I love pregnant women in cargo pants.  They are so absolutely fabulous.  I think pregnant women are super amazing anyway, I mean, hello, they are growing a human after all.  So, my friend Sally, who is growing twins, please put these super sweet and comfy pants and grow those babies!!!

Be Comfy!

After a long day at work, the last thing I want to do is come home to clothing that is uncomfortable.  I am known for immediately putting on my jammies.  This may not be the best of habits, but, I do it.  I admit to it.  I do not deny it.  I am a creature of habit and I love to be comfy.  My slippers and robes and pj’s are always waiting and ready for me to slip right into them.  

Since I love to buy on sale, and only on sale, I generally get my jammies on sale at Century 21.  For Midnight by Carole Hochman, since she is expensive, I hit Century.  She has two lines.  Her regular line which is called Carole Hochman and then her “luxury” line called Midnight: both available on QVC.com.  Century generally has Midnight for half price

Old Navy and Gap are also two favorites for nighties and cute little pj sets.  They are great for soft cotton and lacy cami’s.  Their sales are so good, I don’t mind restocking for each season for the camis.

Back to my friends at Soma.com their pj’s are SUPER SOFT!  You should definitely check out their bamboo collection.  It is awesome.  Their pj’s are definite favorites!  

Softsurroundings.com has lovely jammies and clothing.  Check them out.  They can be pricey.

Don’t forget Victoriassecret.com!!

Nordstrom has a great selection of brands and pretty decent sales.  I think their website is very good because it has the most selection of sizes and their customer service is fantastic also.  

And back to my favorite site, Etsy.com… a great little Etsy store called Intima.  She works with you and makes beautiful custom made pj’s….

Sleep comfy, sweet dreams!!!
