It’s no secret that I’m not a huge fan of pants, and have struggled in the past with my lack of desire to wear them. I simply don’t get as excited about pants outfits as I do about dresses or skirts. Add in my minimalist experiment, and the struggle is all the more real: how to to make a pants outfit interesting? Well, this attempt turned out ok. One bright piece, a simple print, a little bit of sparkle. Definitely makes black anything but boring, right?

I haven’t worn these Loft pants nearly as much as I thought I would, and they’re now a little loose (and oddly itchy — how have I not noticed that before?) so I don’t think I’ll be wearing them much going forward. It’s a shame, particularly as these are an example of a very intentional (as opposed to impulsive) purchase. Has that ever happened to you — finding that you’re not wearing an item nearly as often as you anticipated you would?

TGIF!

  1. You hit the mark with making this trousers outfit interesting, I really like this! I can’t say pants, pants are underwear here… Ha. Have a great weekend đŸ™‚

    • Hahaha! I know! Sometimes I have to stop myself from explaining that I’m not talking about going commando, but then people here wouldn’t understand and think I was being weird. I have problems with the phrase “fanny pack” for similar reasons …

      • Is a fanny pack what we call a bumbag? To be clear, they are from the 90s and no one uses them now but it was like a zipped pouch on a belt that you clipped on. Bumbag, fanny pack. I mean WHERE do people come up with these names?!
