springing in and out of pants

Yesterday was great skirt weather. I mean, hose were required both because of the temperature and because of some control top benefits, but it was so nice to be in one! Well, one other than the plaid one I wear all the time. Oh! And I guess the other difference is that I always wear the plad one with boots, and yesterday I just wore cute heels. It really felt like NO PANTS, you know?

Today is a little chillier however.

Outfit Turmoil

Seriously-

It's weather like Tuesday's that really throws me for a loop.

First, I put on one dress, but I couldnt' find the bra that it works with, so I switched into another dress with a a cardigan for warmth. That was fine, but a little chilly. Later I ran an errand with jeans, a long sleeved T-shirt and chucks with no socks and I was WAY too hot!

Yesterday too was troubling- I wore suit pants, went with the trench coat because it was warm, and I end up freezing later!

Today, I am wearing a warmer outfit, and so far so good. Andy Avalos really helped me this morning.

Fitting in Pants and No Pants

Okay. Really, I am going to try to blog more about my pants/ no pants situation. I mean, we are swiftly approaching a time of year where the dilemma gets MAJOR. Spring is utter torture for me. Spring is the season where I carry tights in my purse and bore people to tears debating whether or not I need to go home and change before the sun goes down.

Additionally, in an attempt to fit into my pants and skirts, I am doing a raw vegan cleanse and blogging about it on Melissa's cleanse blog- http://green-kool-aid.blogspot.com.
I will only blog about what goes in and NOT what comes out-- but Melissa and Nano will fill that need for you if that's what you're into.

Pants No Pants 2009

Pants No Pants is back! I apologize for the hiatus.

Yesterday- January 22- no pants-
Originally was going with no pants because I wanted to wear this new blazer with his skirt I have. But by the time I got dressed, I discovered that I am now too fat to wear that skirt, so I had to change the whole outfit. But at that point, I already had on tights, so I just switched to a different skirt.

Today January 23- pants
I thought a lot about pants v. no pants today due to 1) having to go to court, 2) not having time to change before going out tonight, 3) time constraints as a result of running late and (related to 2) 4) the drop of temperature that is going to occur between now and when I go home at midnight, 1am. All the thinking may or may not have mattered, because when I reached the closet I instinctively went with the safe and accessible black pants (with over the knee socks for warmth).

Wednesday- What is it that makes the pants suit worse than pants! Why do I torture myself? Wednesday was pants until around 7 when no pants blissfully saved the day. But after dinner it was a little cold for no pants. Such a tricky decision.

Today- Conference allows me to go either way, and if I can do either, I always do...

Current Status: No pants.

This weekend was an almost entirely no pants affair

Pants made an appearance on Monday for my first day of work. Unfortunately, I didn't discover until halfway through the day that the hem has fallen completely out. Another reason to hate pants.

As a result of my anger at yesterday's pants,

Again, I apologize. It's been very busy.

Tuesday- Pants were a mistake in valpo on Monday, so that call was remedied with no pants in Gary. Salon commented on the shoes but not the lack of pants- http://www.salon.com/politics/war_room/2008/11/04/gary/

No pants in Grant Park either. It was a pleasure to celebrate the election without pants.

Wednesday- Got tricked into pants. Regretted in all day.

Thursday- After trying on pants, went with no pants for the swearing in. Switched to pants as the temp dropped.

Today- The cold is here. I need to buy some warm skirts stat. And a target tights run is definitely in order. I weep at the though of every day in pants.
