So, I was walking past Express for about the sixth time today, at my usual high pace, when out of the corner of my eye I saw a jungle-like blur. "What is that?!!" We all know how annoying it is trying to navigate through the mall crowd when someone stops suddenly in front of you as if they just saw corset-wearing Sasquash in Victoria's Secret. In the middle of the Friday afternoon mall traffic, I practically fell off my heels as I screached to a roaring halt and gazed through the store-front window. I couldn't believe what I was seeing -
LEOPARD PRINT STIRRUP PANTS! I like Express. I do. Lately the have been sportin' the high waisted pants and skirts and skinny jeans, but I am willing to overlook it. As long as they don't discontinue their Editor pants, I'm fine. But, this has to be a joke. Please Express, tell me you are kidding. Please....
Let's think about this for a moment.
PRO's- Stirrup helps leggings not ride up your calves – suspenders for the ankles, if you will.
- You’re always ready to rock the side ponytail, oversized sweater and big hoop earrings
CON's
- Nightmares of elementary school
- As with skinny jeans, I must wonder: Who actually looks good in these?
- Stirrup pants almost always come with a high waist.
Cowboys need stirrups. Stretch pants do not. For that matter, do women ever need to wear stretch pants in public? Please stop the 80's fashion revival. These pants were not classic then, and they are not any more classic now. They really are just foolish.
This was a two weekends ago when we had two gaping holes in the front of our house for most of the day while Ron (Ryan's dad), Jim and Ryan replaced the window and door. 
The new window and door in place.
This is where we are today. The drywall is up and just needs a little sanding. I hope to prime and paint this week.
"Can't you see I'm working here?!"
