Depending on your proportions, for many women an easy way to check to see if pants or a skirt will fit is to measure the waistband around your neck. If it's tight, that's how the pants will fit. If there's a lot of room between the waistband and your neck, they'll be too big. You want them to fit around your neck snugly, like you want the waistband to fit your waist. Here's a Wiki with pictures: http://www.wikihow.com/Tell-if-Jeans-Fit-Without-Trying-Them-On<br /><br />You might want to try this out with some pants you own to see if your proportions work for it. If they do, then it's an easy way to sneakily check and see if something will fit-especially if there isn't a fitting room like at some second hand spots! -EllaEllaYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00723085215699978549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-540981081357073812.post-14100388317749114012014-01-23T08:26:41.485-05:002014-01-23T08:26:41.485-05:00What a treat to go shopping with your mom and lear...What a treat to go shopping with your mom and learn the tricks of thrift shopping! I've come away with some great finds for mere dollars. Yes, you have to be patient and dig through lots of clothes but it's fun when you strike it rich! Lol! Yes, please explain the " measuring around your neck". I've never heard that before either.Ceciliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12444791923510261610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-540981081357073812.post-35805332516438804112014-01-22T10:54:50.834-05:002014-01-22T10:54:50.834-05:00I loved shopping with my mom.

I have never heard this before. Could you explain it? Thanks for sharing. I am enjoying your insight into fashion.DebZornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13533359488057116979noreply@blogger.com
