For some reason all the geeky shirts I want at Target are in the Men's section. So I have maybe 5 T-shirts that are Men's. Tees are already pretty androgynous.

What I really want are pants that fit my booty but have pockets in the front like Men's pants. The only jeans I own have LIES where pockets should be.

Yeah? What's that about? I asked my wife that question the other day while doing laundry. I understand that the faux pockets are there to help the pants seemed put together. Why go faux though? Why not just put in real pockets?

Know what her response was? "Cause I have a purse." LADY! That makes zero sense. For one, half the time I'm carrying your wallet cause you want to go sans purse. For two, adding pockets takes nothing away. For three, you have two summer dresses with pockets. If a dress can have pockets, pants should definitely have pockets.

Ah, the age old question: which came first, the purse or the faux pocket?

The purse. If we're talking modern fashion, women carried purses before they started wearing jeans.

It's ridiculous! Even pajama pants have pockets! I demand more pockets!

Well then, the solution is obvious. You need to wear pajama pants everywhere you go, not just Wal-Mart.

I don't think that would fit into my look book.

You gotta get creative, put stuff together that plainly shouldn't, like yoga pants and Uggs.

Or anything designed by Yoko Ono...

Hmm. I think maybe you should be more adventurous when it comes to fashion. Have you thought about bringing back new wave hair dos?

New Wave hair is sooo 2011. 2015 is all about long boho waves.
