(For Target or random errands I would never bother, but if I'd going to a friend's home, etc. I'd make the change-out. If that makes sense.) I don't ever wear them with socks, and I don't think I've done tights either. With tights it tends to make me feel too little-girl, KWIM? I usually go with boots or heels with a skirt and tights. <br /><br />I snip out the hanging straps.<br /><br />I hang all dress pants with the clips at the waistband b/c it's easy and I'm lazy. I fold cords, khakis and jeans. <br /><br />Blue is definitely your color! :)shopwithmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06504299198061494803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-59824358736329396532012-09-13T06:25:35.087-03:002012-09-13T06:25:35.087-03:00thank you Rynetta!

They're only for retail to keep the garment on the hanger, imo. They always have a way of peeking out of your clothing during the day if you let them live. Snip! I'm with everyone else. Hang trousers. Fold khakis, cords, jeans. I usually hang my trousers with the front facing, not folded at the crease as I figure I am making a 2nd crease on each leg. I will try the upside down hanging trick.<br /><br />Congrats on your anniversary !:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06119918515498248436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-67994786432535550512012-09-12T23:47:36.311-03:002012-09-12T23:47:36.311-03:00Just like AJC I snip the straps, hang my trousers ...Just like AJC I snip the straps, hang my trousers and fold my jeans. and, blue is one of my favorite clothing colors.

I don't know why.<br /><br />Shoes: I do wear flats with socks under pants; not the really flat ballet type though as they hurt my feet. I am a sock nerd and like to wear patterned socks. My boots are about 1-1.5 inch heeled on average; I have not done the boots -no- stockings look that the younger girls rock, but might try this fall as am overhauling life.<br /><br />Hey, if you get down to Portland, I'll take you for lunch after JC B&M.Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13175229460841379583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-29132770922195010012012-09-12T22:29:08.135-03:002012-09-12T22:29:08.135-03:00I agree with the other ladies and blue is your col...I agree with the other ladies and blue is your colour. Well as far as the bra slips go I snip them right away. One more thing I don't have worry about. I'm in the minority I live in ballet shoes all year. Tights in matching colour flats. In the winter no socks and living out west jumping over puddles all the time. I'm usually soaked .
