must have pockets
Went shopping for some new dressy pants for work, to replace old ones that have gotten tight on my waist.
I gathered an armful of candidates from the women's section to try on. Not a simple task, as most women's trousers get mentally knocked out of competition after a brief glance, due to either having no pockets or no belt loops, or being tight on the legs or otherwise shaped funny.
Out of that first set, a single pair had potential. They were comfortable and looked okay on me. Then I noticed that the front pockets were too small to even fit a whole hand in. Then I noticed that the back "pockets" were simply decoration. They were sewn closed with no actual pocket inside. I considered the effort it would take to sew real pockets into the back and to extend the length of the front pockets. Then I decided not to spend money on a pair of pants that didn't even have real pockets.
Then I browsed the men's section. The only problem there is finding items in my size - most are too big. After going back and forth to the dressing room several times, I chose 2 pairs. B'gosh, they were expensive though. And I'll still need to shorten them. (I consider myself average height at 5'4", yet even a pair of pants labelled "short" from the women's section were too long for me.)
..
This gear ring is a neat idea. But considering how much I fiddle with plain rings the rare times I wear them, one like this on my finger would be even harder for me to leave alone.
