Just got back from shopping.

Dear Calvin Klein (et al):

I realize this is hard to understand because you're very attached to the idea, but no, I really don't want to show my hipbones to all and sundry. They're nice as far as hipbones go, but I don't feel like sharing.

trying to stay a bit more covered,
Rose


Dear Levis:

Your ubiquitousness is annoying. The fact that your jeans didn't fit me in Macy's didn't deter you from showing up at JC Penney's, Sears, Dillards and Kohls. Please go away now and design jeans for real women.

feeling pursued,
Rose


Dear jean companies of the world:

Above my hips (that you seem determined to show) is something called a waist. It is smaller than the hips. Just thought you might want to know for future reference.

grumpily,
Rose

There is a pants conspiracy. I cannot find a pair of pants that fit well to save my life. I've tried different brands, different stores, different sizes... it's ridiculous. I'm doomed to a life of skirts and dresses which, while pretty, are not warm. I have one pair of jeans that fit when I bought them, but now have started that downward slide no matter how many times I wash and dry them to restore them to their original shape.

I will be grumpy with you.

Stupid pants!

I love skirts and wear them a lot, but on vacation in a chilly place I want jeans... preferably jeans that fit. Apparently this is too much to expect. *whines*

My favorite pair of jeans got shrunk by a too-hot dryer over summer vacation. So I'm reduced to wearing the jeans that don't actually fit.

I wish I could find some stylish jeans that are not stretch. That is, 100% cotton (no Lycra!),.

I'll confess, I've succumbed to the lure of lycra. But I do still have some 100% cotton jeans, and I'd be sad if I didn't have them.
