The Trousers that Came Home to Stay
It so often seems that the discovery of a beloved garment begins the same. I am innocently shopping at the thrift store, I see something outrageous, and then I remove it from the rack in order to further giggle at and mock the particular item of clothing. Then, my head tilts to the side and I think, heeeey… you know, this might be kind of fun! And so it finds its way into my cart and then my wardrobe.
So, I’m sure you figured out, that’s how these wooly plaid trousers made their way into my life. I know plaid isn’t particularly flattering, but woah! These are just too amazing. And maybe something I will wear once or twice a year. Not bad for 99 cents, yeah?
P.S. Yes, I was freezing when I took these photos. The arrival of winter has greatly sped up my process of taking photos outdoors! Might explain the almost grimace in these shots. heh

Yeah – while thrifting and trying to decide on that one crazy thing I find I do the head tilt all the way to the right, then all the way to the left, put it back, and then come back and get it.
These are awesome!!!!
