Xander ,'Beneath You'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I have achieved new jeans and new cargo pants. Men's styles, both. The women's pants at Old Navy are INSANE. they appear to come in 3 styles: Ultra Low Waist, Low Waist, and about 2 styles total of something called "Just Below the Waist." People! Some of us like our pants on our waist!
I realized that Old Navy is definitely not courting my business. I am too old.
But the men's stuff was OK.

NUH-UH!
Not too old!
I am older than you, I think. Certainly more of a fuddy-duddy, style-wise.
I couldn't find ANY just below-the-waist jeans... I could only find them in regular pants, which were actually OK, except for the paucity of available styles and the one pair of pants in my size was like 4 inches too long (and I am a relatively tall woman).
Ultra low rise, ptui.
ON actually does waists that works for me, too. Actual waist *never* works for me.
ION the Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe is very foamy looking, archivally-speaking.

Oh, I understand that it's good for folks, I just felt marginalized by the overwhelming amount of low-rise/ultra low-rise stuff which is Really Really Nightmare-Style Horrible on me.
The just-below-waist fits me just about perfectly. Ones that are supposed sit actually on the waist tend to leave me with a bunch of uncomfortable scrunched-up fabric around my waist.
The low-rise is sometime OK on me, depending on the cut. The ultra-low-rise is horrible.
Also, I've been doing laundry, and realized that I own four pairs of size 14 jeans. I haven't worn size 14 in close to a year. I have no idea why I still have all of these. (One or two of them I'll pack to use as work pants in Israel, since it seems like slightly big pants will be more comfortable for working, and I don't want to get the few pairs of jeans I have that fit covered with mud. The rest, I think I'll freecycle or something. I've actually got a fairly decent-sized bag of clothes that don't fit anymore that I need to get rid of.)

Cass is me.
Signed,
If Not for ON, I Would Own No Jeans that Fit At All

They're all designed for wearing with heels. It's the failure of most jeans/trousers right now. The trick, I've been told, if you're short (I am) is to get the ankle length. The "short" inseam is something like 30" or 31". I shudder to think what long is.
I'll be 33 this year. Mostly, I buy plain old boot cut jeans, with a just below the waist rise, to avoid the Mom Jeans look on me.
