I think I bought my first pair in the late nineties; I loved the way they showed off my legs (arguably my best feature!). Being black, they didn’t show grime, and they also didn’t need ironing. And let’s face it, trousers of any sort are very practical when you have little ones.
They were easy to dress up or down – when Miss 18 was tiny, I used to love pairing them with a lime green linen sleeveless shirt, or a mesh top (remember when they were all the rage?).
I wore them to death when I worked in an office.
I still have a pair of black capri pants hanging in my wardrobe; but apart from pulling them out to take this photo, I can’t remember the last time I actually wore them.
There’s a multitude of reasons. Although technically there’s nothing wrong with them, after all these years it’s time for a re-think.
Dare I say it? The style is now (sadly) a little dated. The black has faded. What you can’t see in the photo, is that I can no longer do up the top button (d’oh!). Not to mention the fact that I no longer work in an office, nor do I have small children. My life has changed enormously in the last fifteen years!
That’s not the only thing that has changed a lot. In 2000, the hubster and I took out health insurance (before the government brought in the Lifetime Health Cover Policy). We shopped around at the time and found the best policy for our needs as a family with two small children.
Fast forward to 2015 and our lives have changed enormously. The kids are now grown; we don’t need orthodontic or pregnancy cover anymore!
After all these years, it’s time for a re-think. Luckily, it doesn’t have to be a major issue – we can just head to www.healthinsurancecomparison.com.au to easily find the provider and policy that best suits our needs.
When was the last time you thought about your health insurance, and whether it’s still the right fit for you?
