pants.

Pants. I don't care for them but I dislike skirts more. There is nothing nice about feeling my thighs rub together when I walk, or a breeze showing off my knickers. The main issue with pants is the size. Anyone that knows me, knows that I am a small person which makes finding pants which fit close to impossible. If they fit in the hips they're too long, and if they're the perfect length they don't fit in the hips; and they never fit in the butt (mainly because I don't have one).

Obviously I resolved to buy the ones that fit in the hips and live with pants that are too long. After all it is easy to hem or cuff them. Then I found American Eagle. Now I'm not saying I condone the high prices of their over rated clothes but when I find a pair of jeans that fit, I'm loyal. So for four years every time a pair of fifty dollar jeans go on clearance I buy them (using a coupon of course! then they only cost me twenty). And every time I was ecstatic to find that the zero regulars always fit perfectly!

Until now. Recently I bought a pair of low-waisted boot cut jeans with a medium blue wash. I already owned this exact pair of jeans but in a straight leg. Obviously they should fit. They didn't. Not only are they about two inches too big in the waist they're too long. As it is American Eagle I assumed they'd shrink so I removed the tags and threw it in the wash. I washed them with hot water and dried them on high. And they were still too big. Unfortunately now I had to keep them. I could live with wearing a belt, as I usually wore one anyway but the length was annoying the living daylights out of me.

I bought the pants for their thirty-two inseam, instead I got a thirty-six. 36! That's a whole four inches! I understand the pants being an inch or less off, after all nothing perfect but four whole inches?! Insanity. Never again will I buy American Eagles crap (unless it's really cute or on sale...) I will buy all my pants at Macy's, or Charolette Russe, or Forever21 or Abercrombie (okay not Abercrombie because their massively expensive).
