Pants that fit!

I went shopping with my sister on Sat. On the way home I stopped at a little store in a small town just to look and found a pair of pants. I didn't really have time to try them on and they are sweat pants but they had a great cut and I really liked them. Well I got home and they are the best sweat pants I have ever worn. They are heavy so they are warm...cut like a regular pair of pants and fit to a tee. They are Bobby Brooks. I was thinking of driving the twenty miles to the little town to see if they have some in my size but different colors. Would you drive back to the small town if you found something that fits to a tee? Or would you just get by with the ones you found?

I would make the 20 mile drive to buy more of the pants that fit and are comfy but would also make a day trip, taking a friend with me and maybe stopping for lunch. Would be fun. I bought a pair of sweat pants last year made of 100% polyester, gray, from Kohl's Department Store. Wish now I had purchased several pairs. They are so comfy and warm. Can wear them with any kind of top and they are fashionable.

One word Yesss! If you are lucky enough to find a pant that works, you should go back and see if they have them in different colors.Remember " When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping."

It would depend on how much time I had to spare. I think I would call first, then like your other friend I would make a day of it and celebrate. We need more happy days.

Twenty miles is Nothing when it means having pants that fit. I would do it without giving it another thought. Don't wait, if you do they won't have them anymore. We should all be so lucky- I spend hours trying on dozens of pants to find one pair that fits. What I wouldn't give to just walk out of a store with a pair of pants and not have to go through all that. I'm so jealous!

It's a first for me too but I figured if they were sweats I didn't care that much because usually I won't wear them out of the house...these however I can! They don't look like sweats! I better go get them! Soon!

my legs are really short and i hate to have to buy pants! especially jeans! i usually end up folding them which makes me look even shorter or wear higher heels. i buy my jeans at old navy which seems to be the only place that i can buy pants!

I am short too and know what you are putting up with..then sometimes if I buy the petites when I wash them and forget not to put them in the dryer they are too short the next time! These however fit so nice!

if i had the extra money budgested and room in my closet/drawers I definately would. It is so hard for me to find clothes I like...and when i like something i really like it and wear it until it's about to disinigrate... i had 2 pairs of pants I loved from a store called the weathervane about 7 years ago...i really, really wish I would have bought extras of those pants...i never found pants again that i liked as much, and of course the store stopped selling them as the fashions changed... so yes, if you like them that much, go get em :)

of course i would drive back... its only 20 minutes and in all reality you are not using much fuel... most places here takes 20 minutes to get to.. unless im in the country and it takes over an hour but i would still drive there to see if they have other colors... if you dont want to drive there then just call the store im sure they have the number on the receipt and find out if they have more to put on layaway or whatever you decide to do

They are decent! My daughter in law who is in her twenties said she would love to find some that fit her. She is very tall though and has a problem.....might make a quick trip this afternoon! LOL
