Every now and again,
I'm forced to bite my tongue.
pants: Uniqlo, tee: Everlane, boots: Lucky Brand, sweatshirt: thrifted, necklace: Target |
Like that one time when I left an evil all-caps note on the washing machine, demanding that the current user return my single Adidas sock and then finding it nestled in my laundry pile 5 minutes later.
Or those 17 years of my life I spent thinking that Christopher Walken was really Angelina Jolie's dad, and making sure everyone else knew.
Today would be another one of those now and again moments.
I know that I said I wouldn't invest in plaid pants, and that I likened them to the not so classy ensembles of a certain high school social group.
But......
for $20, I couldn't resist.
Even if they do appear remarkably similar to my pajama pants of old, I'm sort of digging their Scottish vibe, and I'm looking forward to the challenge of dressing them up for non-pajama party occasions.
I figured, if plaid's been around since the ye-old tartan days, why can't it make it through this year's current high point?
And did I mention they were $20?
Alas, tongue bitten.
When was the last time you caved to something you badmouthed?
Cheers.
I bought a pair of open-toed shoes in the winter after making a huge stink about how only idiots would do that (I realized that I live in the south, and some days it's 80 degrees in the winter here, so open toed boots prob aren't such a bad idea). But I LOVE your Walken story, because now that I think of it, he DOES look like Angelina's real dad. Also, those pants are awesome, and I can't wait to see what else you do with them.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, something is just too cool to pass up. Even when it ruins our pride. Am I right? haha
DeleteAnd I am SO glad you agree with me on the Jolie dad front. Jon Voigt / Christopher Walker = dopplegangers in my book

I took the longest time to jump on the leggings bandwagon, not just as pants, but I refused to buy leggings because it was all anyone wore at my high school. I caved about a year ago and never looked back.
