women's pants rant

[Owlie]

I am 5'1" and some petites are too long for me. I also look terrible in pants that are cut really loosely through the hips and thighs. I recently found a parof Not Your Daughter's brand jeans at a Ross discount store and they fit me great but at $80 I can't afford to buy them at a dept store. Like bicyclista I am a fan of thrift stores, and sometimes Ross.

For dressy pants, Rafaella fits me. I am like Veronica- also a teacher, and I enjoy wearing skirts in warm weather but wear pants all winter.

But doesn't your weather consist of "warm", "slightly less warm" and "vaporize upon exit from building"?
