You know you are getting old when:

I'm getting to the point where I don't care what people think. Elastic waist jeans fine by me!

My mom, bless her soul, thought I'd like elastic waist jeans so found me a couple of pair at a rummage sale to try. I liked them. That was when I was 50-ish. At round 55, I learned about cotton leggings (allergic to poly), and I haven't taken them off since. I'm 65. I sleep in them, wear them around the house, and even have a few fancier pairs for going out.

Oh my gosh, yes, cotton leggings are awesome!

You are also me!

Now, can we talk about pockets (or the lack of)? What do you two, my two Doppelgängers, do about the pocket issue?

I don't wear leggings (will have to look for cotton ones now!) but at home I always wear a bib type apron with two big pockets. Room for phone, tv remote if I need it, or several eggs in my dedicated chickening apron. Have to carry a purse when I go to town bc an apron would look stoopid.

That is a good solution but I really want to not need a purse when I go into town either.
What is stoopid is not you in your apron, it is that they don't put pockets in women's pants any more!

Or in men's dress shirts.

Or they're tiny little "feminine" pockets. No, I don't need pockets that are only as deep as my thumb, and 3 fingers wide. I need real, big, deep POCKETS!

 

[BigBlueHen53]

I say we protest until we get pockets! Who's with me? Picket for pockets, yah!

I have a pair that boasts it has a credit card pocket. Literally just big enough for a single credit card - can't even fit in ID as well let alone keys, and forget the myriad of other stuff that really belongs in a pocket!
WTH - completely useless!
