What kind of shoes do you guys wear with pixie pants? All types. In summer I wear the ankle pants w sandals or wedges. In fall when I wear the ankle pants I still do wedges or a pump. In winter, I’m still doing a wedge (a closed toe, not a wedge sandal) as well as the pumps w the full length ones.

I'm enjoying the new Stevie pant from ON. I only could get the sueded ones in my size (tall) and they hold their shape and I think are flattering.

I love sexy pants! I love the patterns, too. Most of the time I wear them with a pair of loafers or flats, but I do have some plain colored ones--red and navy -- that I will wear with a pair of the Steve madden slip on sneakers.
ETA: Pixie pants! I love Pixie pants! But I'm leaving it because it's funny

MH sucked all the fun out of the advent calendar and I wanted to throw it (and him) out the window. I'm all for using it as a learning experience, but he was making C tell him what every number is and find the 24 by himself. C was getting so frustrated. It's supposed to be fun! I made Josie do that. I started at one, but because our numbers are also all over the place I wanted her to find the two for me. Everything is a learning experience?

But this was going on for 20min because he was making him find every number and he has a hard time identifying over 10, yet MH wouldn't help him at all so C was getting so frustrated. I just wanted him to help C a bit and make it fun!

I usually wear loafers with my pixie pants, a nice sandal in the summer. The possibilities are ENDLESS!

I'm sorry, @wine. That is frustrating. And the reward for all of that is a waxy piece of chocolate. No fun at all.

Pixie pant fans: I have looked at them before but they don’t sell the short length in the store near me so I’ll have to order online. I see there are different types, do you like the ankle pants or the long pants? I liked the pixie but my calves don't do well with skinny style pants. I opt for tall because ankle of any style feels wrong on me. But I don't feel the long are too long

Speaking of ON pants. A few years ago I bought a pair of "dreamer" style jeans off the clearance rack. They are my perfect jean right now but they were discontinued when I bought them. I'm sad I won't be able to buy more.

Ugh, I just had a pregnancy meltdown that involved me sobbing into a kitchen towel while my husband and kids just kind of stared at me. I’m so over feeling so hormonal and moody all the time.
(I was crying because dh got off work late and got home late with the pizza and I was hungry and mad at him for it.)

Watching a DVD of what seems like 100 episodes of Max and Ruby for the 2nd time tonight. My kid keeps saying she's hungry, but really she just wants candy. And she is refusing to put her pjs on.
I just want her to go to bed. Mh is out at his friend's house.

snoopmommymom I wear my wedge pumps or heels when I want to dress the pants up but ballet flats and even sneakers to be more casual. Very versatile! tallb I got some Stevie's and went to put them on the other day and they are huge. I'm going to exchange for a smaller size and try again. They look so comfortable.

Checking in late. Work was painful and then Colin threw the most epic of fits at pickup. Screaming, kicking, punching. At one point, he took his shoes off? I would get him in a bear hug and calm him down, only for him to completely lose it again. I've never seen him so angry and for so long, it was scary. I finally ended up walking out with him kicking and screaming under one arm, holding Chase's hand on the other side.
And that was after they told me that Chase got bit again for pestering friends. This time he wouldn't stop climbing on his friend's cot at naptime. The friend said no and the teacher removed him repeatedly, but he thought it was funny and kept going back.
It's going to be a long weekend.

joelies I’m right there with you. Ry just gives zero fucks these days and if he doesn’t get his way it’s epic meltdowns. Apparently he hit his preschool teacher today because he didn’t get a “job”. Then when I told him he didn’t get a treat at lunch because of that he threw a huge fit. It was embarrassing.

GL on the interview melaniesue!! I agree w everyone else about wearing a suit. Even just dress pants w a blazer of the same color works, that’s what I do. I forget who, but someone here, maybe vino or wine always sing the praises of ON pixie pants. I bought one pair this summer to try and now I have 5 pairs! They are the bomb as far as dress pants, IMO. I know everyone raves about these but they were hideous on my frame. Maybe I just have a weird body but I suspect they tend not to be very flattering if you have an hourglass or pear shape.
