Aspect notice, I do know from expertise that if I have to get pants hemmed, I’ll by no means, ever take them to the tailor, and so they’ll keep that size for years and can by no means get worn. Sigh.

How about pockets? Usually, they’d be a prerequisite for me, too, however I’m on the level the place I’m prepared to let it go as a result of it’s been that arduous discovering a pair of pants that I don’t hate! LOL.

(By the way in which, I begin my new job subsequent week.)

I ended up ordering just a few pairs of trousers and darkish denims on-line from Madewell and am going to maintain my fingers crossed within the hopes that they match okay.

I purchased a pair of denims from them about 6 months in the past, and so they’ve been the one pair of pants I’ve tried in the previous few years that match me perefectly.

I bought the Madewell pants under in petite sizing, however FYI, most of their cuts are additionally accessible in customary, plus and tall sizes, too, in case you’re .

• The Petite Harlow Huge Leg Pant – I like how these trousers appear to be I’ll be capable to simply gown them up or down. They’re machine wash and dry (yay), and there’s a number of colours to select from. I opted for a darkish navy and a darkish gray plaid.
• The Petite Good Huge Leg Jean in Caronia Wash – Final time I labored in an workplace, darkish denims handed as work pants, simply so long as you had knowledgeable wanting sweater, shirt or jacket on prime. I like the colour of those denims, the free match and the huge leg.
• The Petite Good Classic Jean – One other darkish jean! I purchased this largely as a result of a number of feedback talked about how gentle and comfy they’re.

I’m hoping one thing on this crop of labor pants will match decently and gained’t look too bizarre on me. They need to be coming within the mail quickly, so fingers crossed that they work out. In the event that they don’t I’m displaying up on my first day in black stretchy pants and a blazer.
