"I'm between jobs"

"I'm between boyfriends"

"I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place" (If you are KHQ, replace with "a tookie")

As for me, I'm between pant sizes. Guuurl, you know what I'm talking about. It's painful, eXpecially when you need to be wearing slacks as part of your new job with a business not-casual dress code.

Suddenly, I no longer feel stylish. I feel old.

Exhibit A: When I wear cardigans, I only button up the top three or four buttons and leave the rest open with a tank or tshirt underneath. I think now the style is to button the three or four bottom buttons and keep the top open, but I'm not sure.

Exhibit B: I still like and wear wide-leg or boot-cut jeans (whatever they're called!). "Ultra-skinny" sounds like a death sentence at this point.

Exhibit C: A knee-length skirt with ankle boots?! What the?

I'm going to go order something on LandsEnd.com
