A Tuesday Pant Tip...

This may seem silly, but you will thank me the next time you visit a public restroom while wearing wide leg pants. How perfect life would be if this was the only thing I ever had to worry about?

The other day I was wearing flowing pants, with black and white stripes. The waist has a black drawstring cord, with matching stripe tank top, just like the photo below! Anyway, I digress.

So, I'm in the ladies room and as I lower my pants, they begin quickly spreading out on the restroom floor, like water from a spigot. Horrified, I tried gathering the voluminously slippery fabric as they overtook some tiny puddles. Oh, yuck. I've often lamented in the past, and I quote myself, "Life is difficult enough, I don't need any trouble from my (clothes) pants."

I commented to a friend, who apparently had already been down this road. "Oh, before you sit, fold your pant legs up and fold the top of your pants over them. The drawstring waist will hold them in place, so they don't fall on the floor." An excellent idea. Of course, if you have flowing, wide leg pants with a zipper, you might be sunk.

Unlike this Max Mara model, I never travel with my ship's rope.
