Pants and Pastels

Sometimes I wear pants.  One of these pictures proves it.  And whenever I do, I think about how there was a time when women wearing pants was forbidden.  Now, this isn't to say that pants aren't problematic.  Because pants can be uncomfortable (especially the tight, high-waisted ones).  And wearing the pants takes guts.  But pants also have their rewards.  For one thing, you can run to the ice cream truck faster.  For another, as they (sort of) say, with great responsibility comes great power. 

So, power to the pants and the ladies who wear them.  And to the freedom for women (and men!) to choose between skirts and pants every day. 

Also, to sometimes settling for culottes.
