I know it's directly responsible for my love of jewel-tone purple and green together.
I, on the other hand, have no such excuse. *g* I just really like purple.
In my experience, the "standard" inseam for women's jeans is 32, regardless of size.
Really? To me, when, say, a size 14 and a size 4 are hanging beside each other on a rack, the 4 looks noticibly shorter. Is there something else that accounts for this, or am I just shopping at weird places? :)
The latter being my holy grail, which I've been ecstatic to find in plain old regular Levis and Lees at Meijer and Wal-Mart the last couple of years.
I noticed that stores like that have kept the long/tall lengths, as well as the average, but had completely ditched the short lengths. I figured it had something to do with the fashion for wearing one's jeans two or three inches too long.
Victoria's Secret also does most of their jeans in all three inseams, but tend not to be cut well for hourglass proportions -- it's that "either snug hips or gappy waistband" problem.
*makes note to stay far away from them* *g*
Actually, ANYTHING that doesn't stop three inches above my ankle makes me all kinds of happy.
Hee!
I agree with this, except for the part where I kinda think such a thing is already sweet and doesn't need additional sugar.
But it's so...bready. Like it got lost on the way to becoming a cake and dived too far into the yeast. (Possibly my expectations are a bit different from what "bagel" says to most people...)
But I'm pretty much always about the option that isn't presented. *g*
