Kors pants in elevator

Remember my sweet Michael Kors PPPs (perfect pair of pants)?
They were tested.

ONE
When getting out of my car to go into work: coffee spill.
Now, I always think this may happen as I make coffee & sip on the way to work, then take in with me.
It hadn’t.
Until I was wearing BRIGHT WHITE PANTS.

white pants grey shoes

Guess what?
That coffee just rollllled right off.
Then I dabbed with cold water in the bathroom.
And for extra measure, washed on delicate when I got home.
Don’t ever wash fancy pants that say dry clean only.

TWO
Those bad boys shrank right up.
But the lining stayed original length.
Nooooo!!

But this story has a happy ending.
My dry cleaner rescued me and was able to stretch them back to original condition.

The pants proved their strength and will to survive.
Thank God.
Cause I love them.

p.s. Hey! I’ve lost 5 pounds on Weight Watchers, so far. Yippee!
Will do a post about the plan and what has worked for me at some point.

Oh boy do I love these rider pants from Victoria Beckham’s line.
Crazy interesting material.
High waisted, gut busting.
Zipper vents at back ankle.
Thigh panels?!??!!
What’s not to love?
I got half-off the lowest price up there.
I’ll be wearing these a lot.

Almost 3 weeks on Weight Watchers.
Definitely making a difference and is pretty fun.

Life sending some sparks my way.
Things are shifting.
Movement is happening.
THANK GOD.
Which I, of course, mean metaphorically.
