Pants en route!

In my search for tall-sized maternity jeans, I found out that Old Navy has some available through their website. This was a pretty exciting discovery because I already have some non-maternity jeans from Old Navy, so at the very least, I felt like I had a better idea of what size to order. I try to avoid ordering clothes online when I don't know what size to get, but as a last resort, I figure I can always return things that don't fit, right? Thankfully, I checked Old Navy's return policy to try to verify this assumption before placing my order. Turns out, you can return unwanted items to the store unless the site specifically lists them as "Mail return only". If you see that, it means that you have to mail back unwanted items to get a refund, and they'll only refund the shipping cost if they sent you the wrong item or the item is defective. This is reasonable, except that on top of the cost of having them sent to me, I would also have to pay to ship them back. So in short, I might end up paying around $10 to try on a pair of jeans that I don't even end up keeping. With all that in mind, I decided to stick with JC Penney and their dated, but reliable, return counter. I found a coupon code online to get a discount and ordered one pair to try out. They should be getting here tomorrow, so hopefully I'll have a bit of variety in my wardrobe again. I love my new maternity corduroy's, but alternating daily between tan and chocolate brown cords can only go unnoticed for so long.
