the activewear department––workout clothes. I bought a pair of the leggings
and two tops to wear for cold weather biking. I think you are smaller than
I am, so the "leggings" will be fairly loose on you, but they might do.
They were labeled "tights" and came in black. The tops were in various
colors and styles. Some of the tops were labeled "polar fleece" I think,
but they were smooth on the outside, almost like nylon, not fuzzy. I think
the overall effect is workout wear rather than "normal" clothes, but... For
Marshall's, the prices were sort of steep––$25 for the tops I bought and $30
or so for the leggings; I think the "list" prices were in the $50 range.

For those in a cold climate who hit the deck running in the early morn
[read: extra chilly 'til the heat kicks in], this fleece robe from
Nordstrom is warm and soft and loooong [great array of size/length
options}. I bought one for myself and I'm going to buy one for my sister
too! I just wish I could wear it to work!?!
http://tinyurl.com/6sqg6
And this little number is far, far off the fashion front but who can
argue with "no chilly drafts up your back?" Sometimes function trumps
fashion, and this is one of those times:

Does anyone know a source for black fleece pants in petite size, with
NO pockets? Preferably inexpensive, too? Most of the pants I see have
pockets, and with fleece pockets, I think this tends to add too much
thickness around the hips.

OK, now here's a challenge.
I am looking for black fleece pants, but not regular fleece, Powerstretch
fleece (with a smooth face) because dog hair doesn't stick to it. They
need to be cut pretty close (not baggy) and run true to size (i.e., not
large) and preferably bootcut, not tapered.
I have a pair of Powerstretch pants that are fabulous (they are REI
brand, if you need to know) and fit me well even in length but they are
basically tights and I want something I can wear like normal clothes.
Any leads?
