All I want for my summer wardrobe is a white pair of dress pants. No capris, no peddle pushers; just a nice pair of summer weight, white dress pants. White goes with everything and anything you wear with it during the summer.
To that end I went to Chadwicks and ordered a pair. Well dummy me didn’t read the whole description:
Slimming pants in an innovative fabric that stretches with you for a flawless fit. Front and back darts;hidden side zip. Polyester/rayon/spandex (Ivory is fully lined). Machine wash. Imported.
Oops! That should have been my first clue. Second was the “Polyester/rayon/spandex” part. Needless to say, they came and went back. So instead of re-ordering another pair from Chadwicks, I hit my two favorite local stores.
Not - One - Pair - Of - Summer - White - Pants/Slacks could be found. What the hell gives? It looked like they actually were putting out the WINTER clothes already. Hello store owners, wake the hell up! It’s June — it was 100 degrees today, I don’t want to even THINK about winter clothing yet.
Neither store had what I was looking for. What they did have was like what I accidentally ordered wrong from Chadwicks, or just capris. Yes I can wear them to work, but I want “dress” slacks too.
So, back to the Chadwicks website and this time I’m going to READ the damn description first. I just don’t get stores anymore. Right next to the swim suit sections I find not summer clothing that can be worn to work, but WINTER clothing.
I did end up making a couple purchase — excuse me, I went clothes shopping, just because I didn’t find what I was looking for doesn’t mean I’m not going to pass up something when I find it. I finally got a khaki skirt - but actually, got a great deal in that they are skorts. A cute long sleeve summer t-shirt that can be worn to the movies where it’s always too cold and a great pair of fancy flip flops!
But where are all the white dress slacks? Geez

They had some at Dress Barn. My wife and I saw them when shopping for sun-dresses… which they did not have.

GF used to wear white pants, but that was before me. Now she finds that patterns tend to conceal the grime that I shed like PigPen in Charlie Brown. Especially the hand prints
