New Capris

This is the story of my new capris:
  • Notice three or four tiny holes* in current jeans - while at work. 
  • Borrow a car. 
  • Drive to the store. 
  • Try on every pair of jeans, capris, and shorts within a four size range. 
  • Decide against spending $50 on the single pair of shorts that fit. 
  • Purchase the only pair of jeans that fit around the waist - despite being 3 inches too short - for a bargain $12
  • Bring them home. 
  • Try them on again. Decide the high water look isn't working. 
  • Pull out a pair of last year's worn out capris and the sharpest shears in the house. 
  • Lay the capris on top of the jeans. 
  • Cut the jeans to about 2 inches longer than the capris. 
  • Figure if this doesn't work, they can be shorts. 
  • Turn the raw edge up 1/2 inch. 
  • Remove the cat from the measuring tape. 
  • Remove the cat from the new jeans. 
  • Turn one leg up an additional inch. 
  • Remove the cat from the measuring tape. 
  • Turn the other leg up an additional inch. 
  • Try on new capris. 
  • Put them in the wash. 
  • Hope they don't shrink too much in the drier. 
  • Wear them to band practice the next day. 
  • Take a terrible phone picture. 





* Not the kind of holes I can ignore. Do they sell jeans with reinforced thighs?
