Capri pants are the devil's minion
It feels like Friday. I mean, the inner fibres of my body are convinced that it's Friday. It also, from my perspective of not actually having any windows to the outside, but having windows across the library that look out onto the hall that overlooks the atrium which is lit by a skylight 9 stories up, seems extremely dark out. It's a dark and stormy Friday.
I've decided that the reason that it's no longer sunny -- if, in fact, this is even true, and it's not just that a plane is currently passing over the skylight -- is that yesterday I broke down and purchased my first ever pair of capri pants.
This is not to say that I am refuting my long-held belief that capri pants are a supremely unattractive piece of clothing, on pretty much everybody.
This is also not to say that these particular capri pants do anything but make me feel lumpy and ugly, as all capri pants do.
It is just that the evil demon known as heat rash on my fat thighs has finally beaten me down, and given the pain of choosing between shorts and capri pants, I went with the ones that don't compound the misery by also flashing my pale and jiggly skin to the universe, i.e. the capri pant.
So, to wit, and perhaps as a small consolation for the part of my soul that died yesterday at the cash register, the sun has gone away for a moment, and the capri pants can stay on the shelf.
Or, more likely, the air-conditioned office is messing with my brain, and it's just as muggy and sweaty outside as always. FINE.

Capris only really look good with heels (just like skirts)
Capris only look good at the length that skirts look good on you - for me this is just below the knee, or just above. Anything else is clownish and stupid. Yes, I know they are pants, but they have skirt-like-attributes.
Pants that end just above one's ankle (as regular-height-person capris do on me) don't work on anyone, unless you are 7 feet tall.
And never, never do the capri/sock combo.
*looks down*
It's awful - I do it all the time, trying to look sporty, but really it's just awful.
And I hate that whole sweatpant capri thing - who thought of that, and why is it popular?

Preach on... PREACH. ON. I say. I have searched fruitlessly for YEARS for a pair of capris that don't just look like regular pants that shrunk in the wash, but I finally found some this year at the Gap. Just-below-the-knee is the only length that looks good on me, and ones that strike me there are SO hard to find! I wear my denim ones with black Chuck Taylors and my black ones with round-toed flats... or very occasionally, kitten-heel sandals.
