retail therapy - new pants!, also impromptu KoL meetup, kinda

[juldea]

So, after getting caught in the rain last night after work and being generally grumpy, I decided to avoid the rain in Central Square by going into Goodwill. I scored. $5 for a very nice pair of chocolate-brown pinstriped pants for work. They FIT, which is amazing. Not too snug, not too baggy, the inseam isn't 6" below my crotch, the pinstripes actually are fairly straight lines (other females with curvy lower bodies should appreciate that), and while I thought they were slightly long when I was trying them on, I was barefoot then and now in shoes they're fine. I'm so pleased.

I'm of course wearing them today. I showed them to londo, hoping to get agreement that they were good pants, and he simply said, "They look just like all your other pants." Pfft, boys. *roll eyes* These are BROWN! The only other pair of pinstriped side-zip pants I have are navy blue. *nods* And then there's my pinstriped black pants, but they have a jeans-like button+zipper in the front. So there's no way these look like any other pants I have. ;)

After that I headed over to sandrylene's house to socialize for a bit before going to dance practice, but soon afterwards multitudes (or 3) of the Boston-area KoLers descended (including the lovely cthules), making a total of seven of us talking about stuff, and Sandrylene and KS were making such yummy mexican food, and the next thing I knew it was 9pm and my stomach was stuffed with enchiladas and tacos and I just couldn't move... (until a walk to Tosci's was suggested, at least. I recommend their (new?) Reese's Monkey.)

They have two legs that are longer than the legs on shorts. They are exactly like all your other pants.

I'm with you if you can find pinstripes that look good all the better :) My problem is things are normally 4-5 inches to short so my jeans ride up on my legs and look really silly.. starting to think I may need to come that way and try out all the amazing food you find by your place - nothing over here is anything worth mentioning ever and it makes me drool just thinking about it. :)

finding good pants is always good.

i'm going to be spending a couple of weeks in Boston starting this monday. it's a family trip, even though ty is coming, and my mom has a bunch of stuffed planned, and i don't really know what the schedule is, and you always sound really busy, BUT...
