Hello All,

I've been mostly absent from here over the past few years.

But I'm starting to care about what I wear again, beyond whether it's comfortable and has pockets.

My body has changed some in the past couple of years, and I don't know if these changes are permanent.

I currently don't fit into any of the pairs of jeans in my closet, and I'm not really sure that a larger size would make denim any more comfortable for me.

Jeans were a staple of my look. I essentially built all my outfits around them. So, aside from having few options for bottoms, I'm realizing that I'll need to retoll my go-to style.

So, I need ideas for bottoms, specific products would be great, that come in black and maybe other colours too. (no white bottoms please!) I've been living in my Eileen Fisher black harem pants for the past year or two and would like some different silhouettes, fabrics, etc. Just for a change, you know.

So, what do you recommend for a petite apple-shaped person who likes comfort, pockets, some personality, and maybe even to show off her legs?
