wear: one outfit, two ways.

i haven't worn khaki pants in over 6 years. after being forced to wear them five days a week for four years (high school uniform), and then a short gig at starbucks--i could hardly bear the sight of them. lately i've seen some stylish gals rocking khakis, so i thought i'd give them another chance.

i found a pair for only $12 online, and bit the bullet. when they arrived i actually cringed when i first put them on. i was thisclose to returning them ($12 is $12) but on sunday morning i was rushing around, trying to figure out something to wear to church and couldn't find any clean pants that didn't have holes in them. (geez, i sound like a frat boy!) so, i put on the khaki pants and, when they didn't make me gag, i decided to make 'em work.

top: target
scarf: old navy

pants: old navy

shoes: target

ew, avert your eyes from the dirty frat house floor.

after church i was freezing and changed into an outfit that felt much more "me": slouchy, comfy and slightly-disheveled.

(ugh. i really am a frat boy! totally explains my taste for beer and dirty jokes.)
sweater: old navy

patent loafers: payless

i'm not sure these khakis will be seeing a lot of outfit action, but i guess i'm glad i gave them a second chance! what's something you refuse to wear?
