I have just returned from the mall. I bought a dress which is actually a summer dress (why it was in store at this cold time of year I do not know). It is pretty and floral and floaty. Yay! Here is a little picture from City Chic

Buying a dress was not really part of my agenda for todays shopping activities. My one and only pair of black pants have just about died on me and I was meant to replace them. They are a lovely pair with somewhat floaty fabric with wide legs. I love wide legs pants. So comfy.
So….I tried on so many pairs and I just. couldn’t. find. any. How hard can it be?
Black pants are a staple item in most peoples wardrobes – half the ones I tried on didn’t even have belt loops – I don’t even know why they make pants without belt loops. Who can wear them? It was either the lack of belt loops or they were odd shaped. High Rise. Legs miles too long. I am genetically blessed(?) with short legs so boot cuts don’t really do it for me as when I take them up most of the flare comes off with it. Straight leg (not my thing) or just weird. The only pair I did find that were decent fit were brown and I have nothing that goes with brown – mainly tried on for fit purposes and I did search in vain for a black pair the same. SIGH. By the time I was finished in one store I was too pooped and pissed off to continue in another store.
RANT RANT.
