So I pulled these pants on last night because I just got them, since OldNavy is dumb and doesn't sell the petite or short sizes in most stores. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway. The first thing I noticed is that they're still a bit too long. And then I realized, wait a minute. They're a bit too long......... BUT ALSO THEY FIT ME. I didn't have to squeeze my fat butt into them or anything. They're not the most flattering pants in the world, but they're work pants and since I walk around the construction site regularly, I don't want them to be very flattering, lol. The cat calls are zero to like, one, but I know they are watching me when I walk away. Whatever. I've gotten really good at ignoring it.
So the real reason I'm blogging, besides to brag on the fact that I've lost at least 1.5" around my waist and hips:

Totally not noticeable, right?

Alterations are hopefully going to come in under budget as well... The estimate right now is sitting at like, $220 for it. But then I'll add in the bustle (anywhere from 20-70, depends on what I choose) and the waist will need to be taken in some more, which could cost another 30-50... Sigh. But, I think I have like $400 in the budget for alterations. Speaking of bustle, I have no idea what I want...
These are similar examples of my 3 options:

I'm leaning towards the first one, because the buttons go all the way down to the end of my train, so I think that will probably look best...
