i don’t find this at all funny
I stopped into a little bijou-and-clothing shop yesterday while I was out picking up a cheesecake for dinner with my dad. I thought I might find a cute going-out top (I’ve been looking for such a thing for weeks, but I’m picky).
Instead, I found a pair of jeans. I was stunned when I tried them on and they fit—not too low-rise, not too tight, a nice wash, and the perfect length. They break right on my foot, so they’re not high-heels jeans, but they are great for sandals and sneakers. Also, they were $30. The absolute perfect pair of jeans!
Until I got home and cut the tag off and noticed it said “Ladies denim CAPRIS.”
That’s just sad. Nevertheless, I’ve been wearing them ever since. No one will ever know…except that I’m so stunned I’ve told almost everyone I’ve seen since I bought them.

Hehehe. My wife buys capris all the time–and wears them as regular pants…
What I want to know is just who these pants would actually be capris on!?!
You MUST tell me what brand/style they are!!! I am in need of new floor-length capris!
The brand is “all american girls.” I’ve never heard of it before, and I got them at one of those small boutique-y shops, so you might have to look around some, but they are truly wonderful. So comfy, so long.
That was too funny, k. I have similar jeans angst, but for very different reasons. My perfect pair of jeans invariably end up being men’s jeans. Yes, men’s. Sometimes boy’s… Ever been mistaken for a guy from the back (post-puberty)? Happened me me in college. And it ain’t because I’m skinny. No waistline, no hips, no butt. Alas.
I buy capris (on purpose) too. And I’m a little embarrassed about it too. But it beats hemming.
