Elastic jeans FOREVER!

Alright, I have a bone to pick with all of my friends who have been pregnant before. Why didn't you tell me about adjustable elastic-waist jeans????!!!!

I know Stacey and Clinton (from TLC's "What Not to Wear") would drag me into the dreaded 360-mirror and mock me until I cried, but I may never wear regular jeans again! Have a big night at the Chinese buffet? Just loosen the side-tab a button-hole or two. Finally finished that time of the month and feel less Sta-Puffed? Cinch 'em in a notch.

No one can tell...well, if you wear a shirt that is loose and drapes over the waistband they can't, and our world needs a little more modesty in it anyway.

They're better than not shaving your legs to remind you to be a "good girl" on that first date!

I LOVE ADJUSTABLE ELASTIC-WAIST JEANS!

And I am not too proud to admit it. When you think about it, I'm really fashion forward, I bet ALL the Bettys in assisted living are wearin' them.
