I in fact wore my chopped-off pants with Bob to Target this evening and I got me a few cheap "biking tops" or whatever they're called, the tops that are just like a sports bra but in a nice fabric. I wore one while dancing tonight and it was really nice. When I first go down there I'm cold so I wore a tshirt over the biking top and then partway through the songs when I had gotten too hot I took the tshirt off and was all set.
So I have a plan now!
I did look at the pants and all of them had the flared base. So I think I'll stick with my hand-chopped pants for now
I don't worry about them looking silly, nobody will see them. Well I suppose except the people at Target
oooops ...
