Dress codified

   The woman sat across from me in church, an elderly woman.  That means she was older than me, or at least I think so.  She had well-coiffed hair, manicured nails, trendy polish at that, and wore what looked like gold jewelry.  She had on a short fur jacket, probably mink, and she was wearing  black stirrup pants, with black flats.   Stirrup pants-----I remember wearing them; I had many pairs of them over the years when they were the style.  They were great to wear with boots, flattering to the leg as long as you kept your boots on.  Even I, who tends to hold on to all items from the past, no longer have my stirrup pants.   How did this otherwise fashionably dressed woman happen to still have the stirrups, I wonder.  I don't think they're making a fashion comeback;  are they?
