when my pants are a tad too long...

I'm 5'1". So I always have to have my brand new pants cut at my trusty alterations shop. Problem is the span of time between my shopping spree and the day I finally visit Sewing Room is pretty much dictated by how busy my schedule is or how lazy I am and therefore kinda stretches for months. 

So I end up using my new pants even if they are a tad too long. I either roll it up inside in Ze-French-Cuff-style as Garance Dore calls it here or roll it up on the outside as Gemma did here. 

Boy, am I thankful rolled-up cuffs are somewhat acceptable these days! Am not so sure about Ze hem-less French Cuff, but I'll pretend it's a French thing... At least until I get to Sewing Room.
