Pants

I went to a dinner the other day, and realized just before leaving that I had only one pair of pants that fit me these days. And those were the pants that I wore when riding. Ok, so the lower part of the legs are covered in chaps, and the upper part is only getting in contact with the saddle, but still.

Luckily the hostess didn't comment on any possible stink, not that she would being polite and all. At least not to my face :).

But to avoid this in future I went shopping for new pants today, and got frustrated yet again. Low waist, super-low waist and one sort that had high waist. As I'd like to avoid the grandma look, I was finding only one with normal waist but they were ugly. Also 60 francs. Eventually I ended up buying a pair of black jeans, looking just like my old ones for 20 francs. I mean, I don't understand why the 60 francs pair would be better than a 20 francs pair, since they're all made in Asia anyway. Not that I'd like to contribute to child labour, but I have to trust H&M to be honest...well honest-ish I guess.

So a new pair of jeans it is, and the only good thing with the low waist is that my still somewhat wobbly stomach is "hanging out", so that I won't forget that I still have some kg's to go.

Dream Jeans by Mac, high waisted skinny jeans without the grandma look, probably outside of the price-range you are looking for, but I´m sure not outside the price-range you can afford ;-)

Now you tell me! Have to wait until the others are worn out now ;).

Because you cannot have more than one pair of jeans, can you?

Well, I have two pairs now, don't I? One for riding, one for wearing otherwise. It would be excessive to have more than that!

You ride in jeans? Why not riding pants?

Do you know what special riding gear costs? Far too much for my slim budget :).
