I started a pile of clothes that don't fit anymore. Luckily, I have a lot of clothes so I haven't been too limited in finding stuff to wear yet. Thankfully I have a lot of skirts so I have mostly turned to wearing skirts to work and wearing jeans on Friday. I decided it would be easier if I just cleared my closet of stuff that will definitely not be worn until after baby.
In this pile of clothes is my pair of brown leather pants. Most of my clothes from college got the boot because well, they were pretty slutty. Part of me wishes I would have saved some of the stuff just to laugh at but at least I have pictures of me in the orange spandex strapless minidress. Man, I'm glad I rocked it then.
Back to the pants. I found them for $19.99 at Gap one day after class. They are trouser cut and real leather - so on the classy side of leather pants :). I don't know if you remember when Gap went through their leather phase. This was a close out of that. One pair left, in my size, $20. I snatched them up. I celebrated turning 21 in these pants - and managed not to puke on them. A couple of Friday nights at The Pub were spent in these pants. (I know - The Pub WAS NOT a place to be wearing leather pants but when you have leather pants, you wear them). I feel like I will keep these pants until I am a grandmother or at least until my kids ask me to borrow them for dress-up day for school or something.
My husband saw the leather pants and asked, "Are you really ever going to wear those again? Maybe you should just donate them."
Donate them my ass. I'm saving this bit of nostalgia for a while.

ReplyDeletethat is so funny. i remember the Gap leather phase...I had to share some of this post with RTC (the slutty college clothes part--haha), which then led me to tell him about my fake leather pants with the zipper that broke on new year's eve. i had forgotten about that until i read your post!
