Fashion notes for the short and vexingly long-waisted

Maybe colorful cropped pants are coming into fashion this year. This is good because I have discovered that I can wear what are supposed to be cropped jeans as regular pants without anyone in fact noticing or looking askance. In fact, several people complimented me on the hyperlinked pants in red. They are expensive-ish, but at least unlike many types of regular pants, at least these won't need to be hemmed.
