Style - Update

As per an earlier post, I bought a pair of pants on sale. Well, I wound up doing something a touch odd yet thoroughly fun and practical.

While I was happy with the pants, one of my minions of the mall (AKA a friend) told me some of the other stores I really like had some early fall stuff in. So....

I went and bought two more pairs of pants and a blazer (which I loved but would be completely impractical in my work life), brought them home and - gasp! - actually tried the items on with the items I like in my current wardrobe. I have (let's be charitable) issues with separates. I don't know why, I'm neither colour-blind nor a candidate for village idiot, but matching just isn't my forte and my office isn't a formal business environment and I would stick out like a sore thumb if I wore suiting. So rather than be glum, I experimented in advance and picked the item that was the most appropriate for my skittle-like self (OT - just what I always wanted to be - a bowling pin. Joy. Thanks, Trinny & Susannah).

The blazer went back, as did two of the three pairs of pants. I wound up keeping the most expensive pair of pants (ringing in at $50.85 with tax). They need to be taken up an inch, but they just look phenomenal on.
