When I finally found stirrups in TALL, it was heavenly. Plus they were a spandex blend (like today's jeans) so they were incredibly comfortable.

Big hair is a blessing to those of us w/ waves or curl! This "Woodstock retread" stick-straight hair is impossible here in humid-land.

Only when the stirrup pants shrunk so that they were too short. Then I had to "undo" the stirrup. Otherwise, I really liked them!

I got a phone call that consisted of those two words. My dear, beloved best friend called me from Old Navy in a state of shock to say, "Stirrup pants. Hell to the no!"

(I secretly hated stirrup pants...and if I see jelly shoes, I'm runnin', but maybe crocs have allowed us to dodge that particular bullet?)

My DD bought a pair of stirrup pants the other day - I just about fell off my chair!
