this is the part where i declare war on everything

[fox]

why in the name of whatever deity you choose is the world full of three-quarter sleeves these days?  wtf, ladies?! -- are people, like, encouraging this?!  i want long sleeves, dammit, and i can roll them up if i want them to be 3/4 length!  (i want long sleeves with french cuffs, actually, but i'm prepared not to get too grabby.)

GRAR.

Not only do I like capris in summer time . . .

I have to buy the super-short ones in order to get the regular fit b/c "ankle crop" fit me like regular trousers. I really am that short.

Wanna go for coffee later?

"ankle crop" isn't the same as capri. :-D i am speaking of the sort that are designed to hit at mid-calf, and unless you have to buy bermuda shorts to get that look, you're not that short. (plus, i know you, man! i know how short you are -- regular-length pants are too long on me, and ankle-length are only just too short, and yeah, you're shorter than me, but the beginning of this paragraph established that we're not talking about the same thing anyway. [g])

would have gone for coffee, but sunday = chapel choir action. tomorrow will be with the writing of the essay, but tuesday, maybe.

I think she's saying that she has to buy the shorter-than-the-average-capri-cut capris in order to get the regular capri fit, just as she buys ankle crop to get a regular pants fit. Not that ankle crop and capri are the same. I know from experience.

And for the record, 3/4 is my very favorite sleeve length and I wear capris in warm weather.

well, then, you're wrong too. :-) (about capris, i mean. because they are Wrong. about 3/4 sleeves, i say knock yourself out, but my complaint is really that full-length sleeves are damn near impossible to find. the abundance of capris hasn't led to a reduction in the availability of long pants, you know what i'm saying?)

I am not wrong! :P

I see what you're saying about the absence of long sleeve, but mightn't that be a product of the season? You won't find much winter wool in stores right now, either. (I know long sleeves is not the same as wool, but I am trying to make a point!)

:-P

(but i can still find long pants. so there. or something.)
