The second woman looks eerily like me, but I don't think I've ever stood in a room with blue trim around the doors. She must be my long lost twin sister (and yes, I have dressed like that for hiking or taking a child to the zoo or activities like that, I'm ashamed to admit)


I've been wearing woman #2's outfit for years and years. Throw on a backpack and I'm ready to go.

You’re in the fashion forum, genius. If you don’t want to talk about other people’s clothes go back to Food.


np This topic comes up in recent thread too. I never read the individual threads. So, now who is the genius? hint hint...not you!


Now it does, but the PP at the top was bumping a year-old thread, that took some digging.

First, it is too early to bump this thread! A few more weeks people.

Second, yes, Audrey Hepburn has come up. Audrey wore ankle pants, not capris. Big difference.

Ahhh. Nothing says spring like the revival of this perennial thread. Maybe we’ll get some warm weather so I can break out my frumpy capris.

Why?
Besides, this is a fashion forum.

People should wear what they like and are comfortable wearing.



Everybody is already doing that.

OK, i'll put my capris in a donation bin.

How about cropped wide legged pants for tall slim women?

38 weeks here and wearing Capri yoga pants because it is the only thing that I can wear.
