Best and Worst: How has your week been?

Roll up, roll up for this week’s edition of Best and Worst. It’s been a while but here I am with this wonderful gig again.

For those who are new to the fold, Best and Worst is my favourite post of on Mamamia each week because we all come together and share our best moments and help each other through our worst moments.

So I’ll start us off:

Best: My boyfriend is graduating today and lucky me gets to be 1/3 of his date to the graduation ceremony (alongside his gorgeous Mum and Dad). I cannot wait to see him in the cap and gown. So proud of you babe, congratulations :)

Second best: I bought a treadmill off eBay last week and it’s fabulous! I love that I don’t have to leave the house to exercise in the cold and dreary weather that is coming up. I also get to save money by giving up my gym membership. I’ve used it heaps already!

Worst: Raise your hands if you hate shopping for jeans *Both of mine are raised and I’m stretching to reach the ceiling*. Ergh, I am just so frustrated. I have spent a crazy amount of hours lately (in excess of 20, really) searching for a pair of jeans that actually fit and won’t cost me $400 dollars (student wages are not conducive to purchasing high end labels).

I’m extremely short, so I struggle to find the right length in the middle section. Then there’s that little problem of inconsistent sizes everywhere you go. I give up. I’m going to wear skirts and tights all winter. Or trackies… and I don’t wear trackies in public as a rule, but I might have no choice soon. Can anyone help a girl out?

I’m handing over the baton to you guys. What’s your best and worst for this week? Anyone else out there frustrated by jeans shopping like me?

Zoee you have to go to the fantastic charity shops we have in Sydney. Vinnies on Oxford Street paddington has brilliant clothes and so many fantastic jeans.

Just next to them is Reuze which is vintage clothes and they have amazing stuff too, lots of jeans and denim jackets and lots more, fantastic place.

Then just further up Oxford Street is Red Cross shop think it's called Red Threads and they have great stuff too.

I have bought so many amazing things, designer clothes, fantastic shoes, jeans, jackets etc etc at these three stores. It's the way to go!!!

Not sure where my comment went yesterday...

Zoee I just want to say that Wrangler jeans are The. Best. Ever.
I've been completely converted! And at $130-50 they are a cheaper option than Acne or Nudie jeans.
