At 6'0" I rarely find slacks and pants that are long enough unless I go online . . . and I hate purchasing clothing without trying them on first. So I wear most skirts . . .and I'm okay with that!Skirts are versitile and being a southern california girl, they work with the weather too. :)Morning Noon Eveninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03558398424906478831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5744269477018459532.post-42001134443834884502010-05-10T13:49:59.145-04:002010-05-10T13:49:59.145-04:00Well...I'm like you in the short department. B...Well...I'm like you in the short department. But I love jeans! Earlier this year I gained weight (it was a goal of mine) and I had to get rid of 25 pair of jeans. I had a lot of jeans. And, yes I have to get them altered... 20 bucks a pop to get the original bottoms put on.<br /><br />Now, I'm building up my collection...I don't have nearly as many. I don't want nearly as many. I actually would like to wear more dresses/skirts but I'm never satisfied with them.

I too am shor...Oh the pant woe...what a royal pain. I too am short, but have long legs so I can't generally buy off the rack (unless I shop at Talbots) without having to have the waistband altered.<br /><br />Another thing to consider is that I have my pants dry cleaned more often than my skirts and dresses and that cost can add up quickly the more times I wear my slacks.<br /><br />And lastly, because it's so darn hot and humid here in Houston, I prefer skirts and dresses as breathable options - whew!LaShaunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926161882767198480noreply@blogger.com
