A rant about thrift shops, pants and fashion.

The main reason I don't like low rise pants is because every time I sit down, I get a plumber's crack. They don't stay up well on me and I unfortunately don't look good in them (I have hip dips). That isn't to say pants need to be crazy high, either, but enough to where I can sit down without exposing my crack and they look decent on me.

My problem with pants is the pockets, like you describe, and when it comes to long pants, they're almost always high-water on me. I'm not exceptionally tall (5'7"), nor exceptionally thin, but it's hard to find something with long enough legs that doesn't have an enormous waist and isn't baggy. I also stick to cheaper clothing though, which may have something to do with it.
