It is pants blog week so here is a little tip that is making my winter more pleasurable. First: the back story. I am very pragmatic in wanting my clothing to cross at least three seasons. This is especially true for my basic black and denim blue pants. Two winters…
This fall, I (Carrie speaking this week) found some very cool “faux leather” at Haberman Fabrics that would make fabulous Eureka! Pants that Fit for this winter. It has enough stretch to be comfortable, “flannel” backing, and is a color – a cross between silver and purple – that goes…
