I want a pair of well tailored trousers. I have almost not worn anything but dresses this summer, but the colder it gets, the more tempting it gets to go for something a little warmer. In my 25 years on this earth, I have never come across anything that can measure up with my imaginary trousers, the main problem being that they´re too short. And the few times they aren´t too short, something else is wrong with them; my butt looks horrible in them or they just don´t go with any kind of shoes. Basically, one of the reasons as for why I wear as much dresses as I do, is that I find pants the most difficult garment of all.

But maybe there isn´t anything such as the perfect pair of trousers, or maybe I am just not a pants kind of girl? Or maybe what I need is a change of attitude? Here are a couple of examples of what I do want, not too baggy and not too short, not too masculine and not too feminine. Just plain old trousers, most preferably in a tweed kind of material. I probably already have 10 pairs of pants almost like this in one way or another, but they´re just one the ones, so they end up just sitting there. Maybe this year things will turn around?

Marc Jacobs and Prada.

One way to save money for clothes is to shop for groceries where it´s cheap. One place they may have cheap meat, another place they may have cheap vegetables. By careful planning and a little shopping around, it´s possible to save a lot of money on food without skimping on quality.
