I went shopping just yesterday at a women's wear store (called Reitmans...don't know if they're in the US). I had a coupon and they had a good sale. So I tried on lots of pants that are designed to be "between" dress pants and jeans. The saleslady urged me to try on a pair of 'comfort jeans', but the look didn't appeal to me. After trying on many others, I finally took her advice, and the moment I put them on, didn't want to take them off. They were so comfortable, and lighter than jeans, which makes them handy for traveling (we're always having to watch our weight restrictions when packing these days). So I bought two pairs (it was a BOGO...buy one get the 2nd for half price). They looked much better on me than on the hanger, for once. LOL. Anyway, I came right home and tucked two of my older heavier pairs of jeans into the give-away bag to make room for these new lighter ones. It's too hot here right now to wear them, but they'll be great for upcoming travels.
