They’re really nice:
Gap Chinos in Black - Hutton Style:
[ul]Waist - Slightly Below
Leg - Slightly Loose
Leg Opening - Straight[/ul]
They hang really nicely, however, they are, inexplicably 2 sizes larger than I usually take from the Gap. I would usually assume that I’d just put on weight, except that all my old Gap stuff still fits. Oh well - maybe they just changed their size model.
Anyhow - woohoo - new pants!
I’m waiting for…
Zipper - Open
Neat. New pants are one of the great pleasures in life that one tends to feel dumb about sharing with others IRL (at least I do!). Way to go alice, may they serve you faithfully and add to your enjoyment of life and of your wardrobe. Give them greetings from my new t-shirt! 
Nah, galen, you gotta realize, she’s just purchased these pants, so they’re gonna be glued to her frame for the next couple of days, at least.
I like your pants… they would look good on the floor next to my bed. :rolleyes:
psst, pezpunk, I think you used the wrong smiley!
A couple of days, Nenya_Elizabeth? That’s OK - I’m not off for a week anyway.
Emergency Pants!
Guys - I haven’t even put them on yet. You can probably relax with the bids to get them off.
I always notice that when I get something new, I save it until I’m working at the largest # of jobs on a particular day - I don’t like to waste the “newness” for just a trip to the grocery store or something - does anyone else do this?
Nenya_Elizabeth my pants send greetings and salutations to your shirt!
Yeah, I usually try to make the first time I wear something new be on a day when I am going to something special, even if that is just school/work, as opposed to just lounging around the house. But of course I also want to wear them right away so I can enjoy them right away, so it’s a tug of war. If, say, I buy something new on a Thursday, I’ll probably wear it to school or work on Friday. But if I buy it Friday, it might not get worn til Sunday church or Monday morning.
The comment about the jeans being glued to you for a couple of days refers to the fact that I almost wear out my new stuff within the first week that I’ve got it, because I’m so glad to have it! Nuts, eh?
(Egad, alice, I think we’ve got talking clothing! :D)
Nah - I do the same thing - when I get something new I basically wear it a lot until it doesn’t seem new anymore.
Today is the first day for pants - I have to work at my store so there should be lots of people to appreciate my pants!
I actually have kinda new sandles that I’m going to wear today too.
Woo hoo! The pants are a hit!
I wore them because I thought I was working today, even though I wasn’t. I got to work found out I wasn’t scheduled and left to see my friend.
I saw her and she said:
“Hey - Nice pants!”
YES!!! My pants are successful. Comfey too!
Whew! What a relief. Thank God she didn’t say “You’ve put on weight - look at that fat roll!”
:d&r:
Yah - that would have been really annoying - fortunatly, it was a different friend.
I was thinking more along the lines of not having to endure another round of the Mad Hatter and his multiple personalities. 
True, true. There is much wackyness in the world.
Damn you Tattva I was gonna say that!
However, I did get to use the line “This sounds like a time for emergency pants” several times on Saturday night, so I guess that’s okay.
