stripey pants

i keep meaning to blog about this…

a week or so ago, i did a substitute storytime for a co-worker who recently had a baby. one of the moms who came for the storytime was wearing the cutest comfy pants i’ve seen in a long time. they had horizontal one-inch (or so) stripes of white and navy (or maybe black–it was hard to tell) and were made from stretchy cotton. they had a nice wide leg and were just so cute! if i could find fabric, i would sew myself a pair even though they would look slightly less cute on me (she had thin legs). i complimented her on them and she sort of gave me the “these old things?” reply.

i can’t explain exactly why, but those pants (even on someone else) made me smile.

i have two pairs of comfy pants that i throw on all the time. one pair is black and one pair is very dark grey. they are both incredibly comfortable…but not necessarily cute. i’ll keep my eye out at goodwill…
