My Dad was extraordinarily entertained to hear that I purchased steel toe boots and asked if I got any diamonds to go with them. Haha, very funny Dad. Since you asked, I did buy something else to match my new footwear: PPE work pants, also known as drill trousers. The first pair I was issued at work barely went past my knees and were so big in the waist, I would have needed suspenders to hold them up (which probably would have been the most fashionable part of the whole outfit). The second non-refundable pair that was ordered for me buttoned about five inches above my belly button and umm, how to say this delicately, had such a small distance from the end of the inseam to the waistband that they went majorly up my ass. Enough was enough, I determined that I would go to the store and novelly, try some pants on before buying them.
Given that I am notoriously hard to fit in normal clothes that have much more variety in terms of size, shape, and cut, I didn't have high expectations for my PPE pants. All I wanted was a pair that was not comically short and that did not cause my butt serious grievances. The saleswoman looked me up and down, grabbed a pair of pants from the rack and said, "here, try these, they're new, low rise." Did I hear her correctly? YES, low rise PPE pants. Music to my ears! Needless to say I got two pairs; they may be navy blue, flame retardant, and have a couple of inches missing from the length that are unnecessarily added to the waistband, but they're low rise and boot cut to accommodate my steel toe boots. Man am I going to be the best dressed person on site or what? Speaking of which, when did I even agree to trade in my stiletto heels and pencil skirts for high visibility workwear???
