I am supervising a 6 year old doing her homework. Sometimes she is great and focused and just does it. Tonight is not one of those nights.
Joyce: You don't think it's too obvious? I think I look like I have a cat on my head. Buffy: But a very well groomed cat. Joyce: Well that's a comfort.

Thank god for all those people who wear 3 inch heels and like their pants dragging on the ground, because it means that at least half of my pants are now long enough.
I hate those people. Before those people, I didn't have to seek out petite-length pants.

If I ever have a Scarlett O'Hara moment, it will be, "As god is my witness, I'll never wear highwaters again."
I have never found knit pants that were long enough. If I buy "long" my ankles might stay warm.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Also socks! Socks should be sized better. I have an awesome pair of black smartwool calf socks. But the length of the foot part is too long, so the grey square for the heel shows outside of my shoes. It wouldn't be so noticeable except that everything else I have on is black.
I mean, wearing the black socks is supposed to be an improvement on my appearance from the all black with white socks standard look which seems to end up excessively Blues Brothers looking.
I love smartwool, though, I must say.

I'm looking out my office window at Seabiscuit and he's leaning forlornly up against the kennel fence. He just had a visit from a free range doggie buddy of his, and now he's sighing over the injustice of it all that he's not free to go off romping with him.
Should I go get him and bring him in and feed us both?

A adore smartwool, though I wish they were more durable. When I'm rich I'll wear their tights and long underwear. They do have sized socks, though. Maybe you got the wrong size.

I just want sizes to be defined by measurements so I would always know if a size L will fit a 40" bust/33" waist.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Buying vintage on eBay was frustrating and satisfying at the same time. It was sad to see dresses I just had to ignore, but since I was going off of measurements not sizes, what I got fit like a dream.
