Fashintern - I love the pillow idea. I need to do something like that with favorite old t-shirts, or maybe a lap quilt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodbye-step-hem-joggers-and-thank-you#post-1877409 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 19:29:31 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1877409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, I might use your idea for weights on other clothing—glad you posted it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodbye-step-hem-joggers-and-thank-you#post-1877391 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 18:03:53 +0000 cindysmith 1877391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, that actually made perfect sense. I think im going to go ahead sith the pillow plan, as i seem to be extra hard on clothes and theyll likely get ruined again soon after i stretch them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodbye-step-hem-joggers-and-thank-you#post-1876758 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 05:31:34 +0000 Anonymous 1876758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you can hang those pants while wet and weight the legs, you may be able to wear them. Usually these shrink most in length. I use clip-on pant or suit haners upside down and hang something heavy like several heavy wooden hangers from the suit hanger. I hope that makes sense. A pillow is also a great idea, and the slogan with permanent marker on a sweatshirt.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodbye-step-hem-joggers-and-thank-you#post-1876754 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 05:15:03 +0000 chirico (Chiara) 1876754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your story.

I've definitely felt this way about a few pairs of pants over the years. So hard to say goodby. Love the idea of a bolster pillow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodbye-step-hem-joggers-and-thank-you#post-1876632 Mon, 08 Jan 2018 20:22:06 +0000 cindysmith 1876632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm thinking pillow, something I can hug &lt;3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodbye-step-hem-joggers-and-thank-you#post-1876626 Mon, 08 Jan 2018 20:09:43 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1876626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pillow or wall hanging?

You could make (or have made) something with that phrase that actually means something to you on it, or even turn that leg into a bolster pillow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodbye-step-hem-joggers-and-thank-you#post-1876568 Mon, 08 Jan 2018 17:13:16 +0000 Elizabeth P 1876568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a graceful way to say good bye to a loved piece of clothing!&nbsp; Great story. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodbye-step-hem-joggers-and-thank-you#post-1876563 Mon, 08 Jan 2018 17:02:30 +0000 cindysmith 1876563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Being someone who likes most things deconstructed or dystopian, I liked step-hem pants when they burst onto the scene. I finally bought a pair from H&amp;M, and they even had an interesting quote on them</p> <p>stay on the edge</p> <p>so I had to have them. That quote kind of symbolizes how I believe one should live life. </p> <p>It used to mean that I kept pushing the edge of the envelope, living to the extreme. I was always searching for a more ecstatic happy feeling; a more passionate romantic relationship; and a deeper, darker sadness. I even looked for an angrier rage.</p> <p>Now that I'm clean (sober), it means something entirely different. Now I want to live life out loud, always pushing for more personal and spiritual growth. I want to keep pushing myself to learn new skills, to live more simply and intentionally, and build relationships with people that are built on a deep connection to each other.</p> <p>These pants kind of summed that up. They were comfortable, yet they were not your usual sweatpants that one wears to slum around the house. The step-hem was repeated in the waistband, the rear (fake) pockets, and even in the way the graphic was integrated into the leg. They were a little bit off, which is how I generally like things: asymmetrical, off kilter, things that challenge perception.</p> <p>Unfortunately, step-hem joggers, I shrunk you in the laundry. I mistook you for a pair of Sunshine's lounge pants and tossed you in the dryer. I don't have the skillset to wet you, stretch you, and block you to make your legs long enough (without warping your shape). So thank you, step-hem joggers, for keeping me comfortable and inspiring me to stay on the edge. </p>
