So I want to buy cargo pants. I don't like to travel with a bag unless I have to. Mostly I just shove things in my pockets. And then I have strange looking lumps in my pants from my cell phone, wallet, what have you. I noticed the Gap was selling a pair of cargos on their website and went to their store last week to try them on. Only apparently there was some kind of conspiracy against me.

me: I saw some cargo pants on your website. Do you know where I might find them?
employee: I'm sorry, we don't carry those.
employee: We have slouch pants. Same look but w/out the extra pockets.
me: I see. ::in my head:: So they're like cargo pants, only useless.

First the crotch sweater, now this? What are you doing Gap?

Old Navy had a decent selection of cargos on their webstore, but they were all varying levels of unattractive, with the diagonal hip pockets that fit weirdly on anyone who actually has hips. Apparently if you have hips, you don't need pockets. The cargos on the Gap website also had diagonal hip pockets, but at least they came equipped with cover flap and button closure, to compensate.

Of course, they also cost nearly twice as much.

::grumble::


I went out and ran errands today. Mechanical pencils, marker paper, etc. I felt very pretty by the time I got home. Guys at two different registers thought I was hot. Not in the obnoxious, hitting on me way. Just in the "I find you attractive, so I'm being extra serviceable" way.



In terms of the fannish:

I have no news. At all.

:\


Though I am going to see Ratatouille tonight.

When I was younger, I LOVED pants like those. Everything in the world -- you could find it in my pockets. Mama still metnions how she once fished out twenty-two tissues, a piece of string, a ripped-off button, two marbles, a splinter of rock, and no dead frogs at all out of a jeans pocket of mine.

That Gap link reminded me: I need a bikini, now that I have a nice stomach.

It saddens me that good cargos are so hard to find. I want to try the army surplus store, but I don't know if there's one I can get to via public transport/walking.

There used to be an Army Surplus store in the Haight. There *should* be one in SF somewhere

When I worked at Blockbuister and had to wear Cargos every day I used to buy them in the mens dept. at Old Navy. They were cheaper and in a lot of cases more flattering than the ones in the womens department. Since it's Old Navy (or Gap) they sell fairly small mens sizes that fit women.

Hm. Good thought! I've never tried shopping in men's because my hips have just never been anything even remotely resembling boylike, but then, cargos might be different than jeans.

See now, I clicked on the link to the crotch sweater, hoping you were joking. And you weren't.

I. Why?

I ASK MYSELF THE SAME THING.
