I met Sharon Silverstein, owner of In Full Swing, in 1989, while I was shopping. She was a delight, and we became friends. Here we are 25 years later and I am still shopping with her, now in Oakland, CA.
When I saw these pants, I just had to have them. If you have been following along, you know I love both words and graffiti and these pants have a little of both. They only came to a size 3X, but they are 92% polyester and 8% spandex, so they have lots of stretch, and I would be comfortable suggesting them to anyone who wears a 4X or Size 26/28. And you know these wide legged pants are all the rage this summer.

I love a little DIY (do it yourself project). A friend gave me two belts like the one I have on in the photo, size 4X stretch belts, but both with gold snaps. I decided I HAD to have silver, so I silver-leafed them. What was I thinking? The first time I wore the belt, and leaned against a table, the silver leaf started peeling. Using the wrong materials will get you every time. I should have used a silver Sharpie. LOL

Wow – I love those pants. I wouldn’t think that wide legs would work on a short person. I am short too so now I wanna get me some! They are fabulous.
And they are VERY comfortable.
Where did your friend find the belts? I am having the hardest time finding stretch belts in size 4x, 5x, or larger. Thanks!
I suspect she had them in her closet. BUT, Torrid almost always has a stretch belt or two, and the Size 4 more than fits me and I am a size 4X or 26/28. Check it out.

I usually don’t like wide legged pants, but these seriously look good on you, what shoes are you wearing?
I am wearing Gladiator sandals, no heel. Width WW from Jessica London.
