I just dug out the pile of pants from my closet that didn’t fit me last January. I really wanted my favorite summer pants to fit, but not yet. Then I tried on everything else in the pile and came up with one case of “Why did I keep these?”, something that fits now, two things that fit but need hemming (and still have the frickin’ tags on them…), and:
NOT YET
NOT YET
NOT YET
NOT YET
TOO LATE
Turns out, waiting for your pants to ripen is just like waiting for your avocados.
