Baggy-Assed Jeans

My jeans are baggy. I'm not sure if I'm wearing size 34's or 33's today. It might be inappropriate to drop trou in the middle of the office so, I will wait until I get home to check. Obviously, I'm thrilled to have lost the weight but, the dark side of weight loss is the money you have to spend on new clothes. I may stop by a clothing store to see if I'm ready for some 32's.

I don't even want to talk about suits. The one I got married in is most certainly a goner. The newest suit in the closet is in the Indian style, not an option at most formal American occasions, although it would be quite an impression at the company Xmas party this year.

Where will it end? DD will welcome the opportunity to be my fashion consigliore on a shopping expedition. I'm a teeshirt & jeans kind of guy & she'd love to change that. She's been plotting to get me on that "What Not to Wear" show for years. I know baggy-assed jeans are kind of a style now but, I'm 45. I don't want to dress like I'm a teenager. As for running shorts, jeez! Most stores carry the ones that hang down to your shins. I don't want to return to the up-to-your-buttcheeks type that were popular 20 years ago I just want a nice modest cut right above the knee. I don't want to look like a dope. Is that so wrong?
