I'm sure most of you have noticed that ... it's been a long, dark, COLD winter. We keep the house at 70 and even that seems pretty cold most days. So, a few weeks back, I decided to break out the thermal underwear . . .
. . . only to discover that I had left most of it at our summer cottage. (It gets mighty cold there in April and in October.)
So, off I went to K-Mart and bought some Joe Boxer women's ANKLE LENGTH thermal pants.
The problem is, they don't reach my ankles. They only reach mid-calf.
Sadly, I don't fit their typical body size. I happen to have long legs, which means I can't buy pants in the regular women's section, unless I want to look like a doofus. I have to buy "tall" items from a catalog. And my favorite catalog is soon to be no more. My mother told me that Penney's is going to discontinue their catalog.
My first thought was: where will I get pants???
I have a feeling I'll be trolling the Internet for pants and hoping when I get them that they actually fit.
How about you--is there something you can't wear because your body doesn't fit some manufacturer's norm?
Most everything for me! I'm working on several
pairs of pants which need shortening because
even Mother Nature is working against me! I'm
shrinking! And I was only 5 feet tall to begin with!
