Danielle Smith :
You look fantastic (And LOVE that you are vlogging!)
Sarah, they’re pretty great, right? I thought I wouldn’t be able to pull them off since I’m curvy, but they fit really well.
Sarah Beck :
I too am quite curvy, so ibwas skeptical, but I after a day of wearing them, and my daughter telling me that I have never had a better outfit (lol). I am sold! Mine are from old navy, they were under $20!
Yes! I love that you’re vlogging! Having tried it out already, I can appreciate what goes into it. But YOU!…. you’re a natural in front of the camera. Great tips by the way!
Allison, you are no longer curvy. Have you checked yourself out in the mirror lately. You are skinny minnie. Holy Cow ! It must be all the running. In any case you look fanastic. I just bought the cutest jeggings at The Loft yesterday. I love them! Now, I just need to find a top to go with them.
Okay Allison, can you be any cuter!!! Love that you found that tunic at such a great sale price. Next time will you pick one up for me too??? Keep up the vlogging – U look and sound Fab!
Done. Tell me a size and I’m on it! Ditto for all the amazing stuff you find in San Francisco. *jealous*

One of my favorite things about buying clothes at Kmart is that I am almost guaranteed not to see anyone else wearing it around here. Where I live it seems to be a best kept secret. Everyone overlooks it.
One more thing, I feel like I have to keep trying to explain the difference between leggings, jeggings and skinny jeans to my mom! She cant seem to keep them straight in her head :)
It’s not the best kept secret around here but, BUT, I do find really cute things once in a while. It takes more digging, but I love walking away with a new shirt for that price!
Jeggings will remain a mystery to my mother until the day she dies, it’s just one of those things. :)

Thanks Danielle! I’m taking your tips of not having to feel perfect to put a video up.
:)
LOVE IT, I am actually wearing my very own jeggings today for the first time, and I think that I am in love! Thanks for all of your great tips!

It’s so much easier for me than regular blogging, I can totally see why people do it! Two minutes vs. two hours!
Looking good!!
Thank you! Seriously, coming from the master, that means a lot.

It’s an optical illusion. I’m curvy 101. It’s all about the stripes, the lines, the whatever will help.
:) Thanks though, I’ll take it!
Aren’t jeggings the best things invented?

I love the quick videos! I need all the fashion direction I can get — so I turn to you, the Fashion Guru! Keep the videos coming…
Ha. Well, you give me training advice, and I’ll trade you for fashion tips, how’s that?
Sorry, just can’t go for the barber pole look.
It’s surprisingly flattering Hypnogal, but if stripes aren’t your thing, try a different pattern, it’s the tunic that you’re after.
