My first reaction: YAY! MY PANTS ARE TOO BIG!:thumbup:

My second reaction: OH NO! MY PANTS ARE TOO BIG!

I am very hippy and my waistbands have become rediculously huge. I tried a belt and it created an obscene gap in the front and looked horrible. I went to have them altered but it was really expensive. I thought about buying new pants, but am worried that I'll have the same problem after a month or so and will have wasted my money. Soooo... my question is: Does anyone have any cheap/effective ways to keep your pants up and extend the lifetime of your wardrobe?

1. rolled down the waist of my pants and safety pinned them

2. started visiting goodwill/salvation army stores etc..

3. kmart - i got 2 pairs of shorts and a pair of pants all for $35

4. purchased a couple of patterns for skirts/dresses plan on cutting those out this weekend that way over the summer I can just re-sew as needed
