First a few tips that I believe all women should heed:
- Only on threat of bodily harm should you ever wear pants low enough to show rear cleavage (either sitting or standing).
- Unless your legs could be used to pick my teeth, you should never wear pants made of shiny fabric.
- On all that is holy, please avoid any pants that are so tight that I can read the label on your panties.
- Please, before you leave the house for the day, look at your rear view in the mirror. VPLs are not classy - for anyone - ever.
- If you feel the need to wear shorts, please keep them a respectable length. Unless your name actually is Daisy Duke, don't wear her shorts.
- If you own Mom jeans, burn them now. If you own acid washed jeans, burn them now.
- If you are over the age of 5, do not wear overalls in public.
- Under no circumstances, should you ever wear these.

Okay ~ thanks for the laugh! I needed it...the link to the knee-length hammer pants had me laughing out loud!
Really, who in their right mind would pay $725 for a pair of linen pants? Thanks for the "inspiration". You have me back in my sewing room after a very, very long, shall we say, sabatical?
Wow, those are SOME pants in that last tip.
Thanks for browsing Nordstrom for me. They owe you a commish since I just HAD to have one of the skirts (and now, need a top to match), (oh, and shoes!), even though it's a bit pricey, I splurged for work. There are millions of ways to justify it.
Anyway, thanks for turning me on to a skirt that I absolutely love!!
Thanks for the laugh! You said what I've often thought.
I'm not even sure if I support the cropped trouser or the long short. Both seem like they could create proportion problems for a shorter gal. And leggings? Ugh! I hate to even wear them to the gym.
Um, wow, I have to agree! I don't wear crop or capri pants, either. My legs are already short and stocky, I don't need the visual of being cut off half way down!
BTW, there is a term for being able to see thongs and other underwear above the top of very, very low rise jeans: "whale tail".
