pants advice TAKEN
You want to know what I did, don't you?
54 comments! On a Sunday no less.
A new record...and I thank you all.
I TOOK ALL THREE PAIRS BACK TO H&M.
I returned them and walked next door to J Crew. I bought a pair of gray corduroy pants, which will be hemmed for free as I have a J Crew credit card (with high interest which will be paid for, in full, as soon as I get the bill).
Wide legged pants are no good on a small person, but you knew that.
Wide legs are not my friends.
You are.
I'll see you tomorrow.

PS: I already have two pairs of expensive dressy black trousers that are too big on me. I'm going to have them tailored asap.

I didn't weigh in on the pants issue because I suffer from Fashion Deficit Disorder. My daughter has threatened to send my pictures to What Not To Wear.
Well done!
Stop rolling your eyes!
That said, did you happen to catch Sharyn's post yesterday? Sometimes she's so profound. Thanks for posting that link. I check her every other day. Maybe someday I'll even comment.
It's 50 something degrees here today and 5 women just jogged by wearing bikinis and sneakers. WTF?!?
Have a great rest of the day : )
Also, you have taught me something about the J Crew credit card. Not sure I'll use this knowledge, since I never go to J Crew - there is no parking for the one here.

Glad you found something you really like!

(But, how did they look/feel when sitting? lol)
Really, buying cheap clothing isn't worth it if you're old enough to think that wearing clothes longer than 3 months isn't utterly passé. The cheap stuff is really meant for kids who follow the whims of the fashion industry.
Well-made clothing feels better, lasts longer, and is much more flattering.
I can't wait to see the photos of the hemmed pants. My guess is ... no contest with the H&M stuff.
and as someone who lost weight last year and spent a small fortune on tailoring because it was less expensive than replacing ... BE SURE YOU ARE FINISHED LOSING WEIGHT before tailoring.
i thought i was finished and lo and behold, i wasn't, and tailoring twice wasn't really cost effective.
I missed out on the voting, but I kind of liked the gramma pants. I'm glad you found what you wanted.

I recently spent less than 20 quid on having two things altered, which I loved, but which I looked odd in
they are my favourite things now
And that is a very good thing.
I'm now on the search for gusseted-crotch sleep wear. bb? bb's Mama? Anyone?
