Descriptions

So I've noticed in a lot of romance stories, clothing, particularly women's clothing, is detailed to the max.  In the latest chapter of Birthday Presents, I've tried to play with that by describing what people are wearing.

...but reading over it, the descriptions I feel halfway between cheesed off and amused.  It's like we're playing pretty prince of parties.  At one stage, I found myself struggling to describe the colour of the pants that Orion was wearing, and in frustration, I cut out the line altogether.  So now, there's no description of pants.  He's not wearing any, for all I know
