Stop looking at my pants

Let me describe for you my pant situation.  I noticed that I had an actual pants situation when I saw my reflection in the glass train door this morning on the way to work.  The other day, I went to buy cargo pants one size larger than normal (as I have gained the infamous freshman 15-about 16 years after the fact).  I just grabbed off the rack per my previous size and bought the next size up.  When I got home, they fit perfectly around the waist-but apparently skinny jeans are now bleeding into the cargo pant design.  The pants I bought taper down to the ankles.  This is simply stupid in of itself. However, based on my waist size, I am apparently supposed to also have much larger legs.  I believe the pants are supposed to be tight ala skinny jeans style but because my ‘waist’ to ‘rest of body’ ratio is not ‘gapperfection’ I have baggy pant legs that taper at the ankles-kind of like those muscle pants back in the MC hammer days.  I must say-I look ridiculous…..ly good.  And there you go…..reason number 83 why exercising every day will do my body (and my wardrobe) good– I can ditch these muscle pants and crawl back into the early 2000’s and my adorable bootleg jeans again.  ;)
