Have you guys been to the Gap lately? I purchased the Slim Crop Pant the last time I told you about a 40% off coupon. I originally tried this pant on when I was in New Orleans and I loved the way they fit. I haven’t worn a pair of slacks (I sound like my mother) in a couple of years because of weight gain and not feeling comfortable in them. Hence the reason why I hide behind dresses.

I didn’t purchase the crop pant in NOLA because I knew that I would be able to find a coupon once I got back home to NYC. I couldn’t stop thinking about these pants. That’s how you know you really like something when you can’t stop thinking about it. That’s the way I like to shop. I don’t just put my money down on the 1st thing I see. I’m not the girl that buys a whole bunch of stuff and returns what she doesn’t like. I never make it back to the store in time and end up keeping it. Money wasted and the pieces end up at a thrift shop with tags still attached. I have learned my lesson. Plus, I don’t like to pay retail for anything if I can help it. So I like to mull it over and I will buy it if I can’t stop thinking about the item.

I get back to NYC and go to my local Gap and they have the pants but not in my size. I purchase them anyway in the wrong size because the coupon I had was only for that day. I ended up exchanging them later for the correct size. These pants are so comfortable and they flatter my ample hips. Everyone writes about how great the pants fit if you read the reviews on their website.

Here are some cute looks the Gap put together as part of their spring collection:
