Project Bright Pants Mission Statement: Detract from the blinding
whiteness of my Long Tall Sally linen jacket by pairing it with some bright cropped
pants.
PBP Take 2 - Gap's Slim Cropped Refined Pant in President Green - Size 10 Tall.
Once I realized that the regular sized cropped pants from Loft were a major no go, I started hunting for some tall crops. I foolishly ignored the word "slim" in the description of the Gap pants and hit the "complete purchase" button.
The first time I tried on skinny jeans years ago, I managed to get them a whopping inch past my cankles before
giving up for fear that I might seriously injure myself whilst hobbling around the dressing room trying to get the jeans on. Now I know...if pants are described as "skinny", there
ain't no way they're gonna fit over my cankles let alone my thighs. (Can·kles n. -
a condition in which your ankles are roughly the same thickness as your
calves). I thought that perhaps skinny's cousin "slim fit" might be OK
buttttttt not so much. Observe the whisker-like wrinkles in the front just under the waistband and wrinkles wrinkles wrinkles all the way up and down, front and back. BLURGH! I'm sure these pants look good on someone - just not me.
Since most cropped pants seem to be slim fit, I'm not quite sure how I'm going to find a pair that I can stuff my bubble bum, thighs and cankles into. But Project Bright Pants must continue!! I just spied these bright blue pants on Gap's website, but there's that pesky word "slim" again! They do look a smidge more forgiving than the green ones, so maybe I'll give them a go.
P.S. I would just like to state for the record that I love my body to bits and only say things like cankles, thunder thighs and bubble bum for the humor of it all rather than as a complaint.

I have been very happy with the skinny pants I bought at Old Navy...they don't have tall sizes do they?
Yep! They do actually. I'll check their website.
The green ones look cute on except for the "whiskers." Unfortunately, I've never been able to work the cropped or the slim pant.
The blue is beautiful. But I noticed that model has no hips. I'm thinking of an outlet run this weekend.... maybe I'll take a few cropped into the fitting room.
The green look cute on - excepts for as you say the whiskers.
Unfortunately, I've never been able to work the cropped pant (or the slim ones either :( )
The blue ones are so pretty. I did notice the model has no hips.... THinking of a weekend outlet run... maybe I'll give crops another try.
I love skinny pants/jeans. JUST NOT ON ME.
Good point about the model having no hips Liz. Hmmm...let me know if you find any good crops at the outlet!
FGD-Same here. Sigh
