I took a chance on these babies. It was only an $8 chance, but still. The morning after my aforementioned girls' night in KC, my friends and I had a very limited amount of time to spend at a warehouse-style thrift store (Re-Runs). Generally, I only truly succeed at thrifting when I have an unlimited amount of time to spend looking. Near the end of our short little window, I grabbed these pants. My first reaction was that they were fairly comical but also kind of awesome. Then, I proceeded to buy them without trying them on (only because they were less than $10). After getting them home and giving them a go, I was totally pleased with the result. They fit nicely, and they have an elastic waist, so they feel like wearing sweatpants. So comfortable! These pants wouldn't fly with just anything, but paired with a simple tube top and glam chain statement necklace, they totally fit the bill for a fun, frivolous night of dancing.
HOW do you do that?
ReplyDeletei think you might be the only one who could pull them off, but they look great.
only you could pull off this look!
ReplyDeleteyou look great!
These. Pants. Are. Drop. Dead. GOR. Geous.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I had a jaw-drop moment. I love funky pants (in funkytown, of course), and you definitely pulled this atypical pair off in a seriously fashionable way.
I'm having polka dot envy, tres chic!

See, I would never pick those up but they look unbelievable on you! They don't look like they have an elastic wasit-band either. Amazing. And I need a tube top like that. The end.

oh those are AMAZING! so jealous!
ReplyDeleteThe pants fit you perfectly! And they have such elan!
ReplyDeletelove this, totally, 100%. love love. so 70s! this may be my favorite of yours.
ReplyDeleteLove this look. It's surprising that a wide leg pant (albeit high waisted) can make such an awesome line, this look is killer. I was surprised when I did a shoot recently how my not-so-slim legs looked lovely skinny. Really like this!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding me right now??? These pants are amazing!!! I love how you styled them :)
ReplyDeleteThose are so fun! They'd make adorable shorts, too!
ReplyDeleteI am so so jealous of your thrifting skills -- please blog about techniques soon!

I think they're awesome. I so would have bought them too! Good for taking a chance! It is so hard not to when things are cheap, eh? It's almost like you'd be losing money NOT buying some things at thrift stores. ;-)

Those pants are rock'n. I am jealous.
ReplyDeleteThese are great...the crease on the leg is key, though. The creases add the sophistication and take off some edge. Spring is not near enough!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this! Absolutely love love love!

Those pants are fantastic!!! What a find :)
ReplyDeleteI swear that my nanna had a pair of trousers like this when I was growing up - and that is a complement btw - if only I had kept some of her clothes - I was thinking the other day of what a fab shoe collection she used to have too :'(
ReplyDeleteGreat look!

ReplyDeleteThey're straight-up '70s polyester.
You look amazing! I like these pants, but for me it is the whole look. Your hair looks spectacular, jewelry classic but young, and... you're smiling!!! It never hurts.
ReplyDeleteUm, I kind of love these. I would look like a clown, but you look completely chic.
