women's pants rant

[Pedal Wench]

I like that a lot of Athleta bottoms have an interior drawstring and that gets rid of the gap at the back.

My biggest problem with pants is I am too tall for petite and too short for regular in most styles.

I always wondered why my Athleta Whatever skort has a drawstring! That's for that!

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"?

Well, we have about 3-4 months when it can be too cold for shorts and sandals ( don't tell my DH because he wears shorts when it's freezing outside). It snowed twice this winter (yesterday, in fact!). So I think that counts as cold.

It's definitely colder where you are than in the upper Midwest, right now...which is crazy. There's a snow bike race in WI this weekend...it's been in the 80s the past few days in the Great Lakes region.
