I remember grimacing at tapered legs in my teen years. Now I can predict the fashion future. Whatever it is that we wouldn't be caught dead in now is what we will be wearing in the near future.
The pants are bohemian, bordering on piratey. I think that it is safe to say that I won't be noted as wearing the latest trend. In my own mind, I'm always one step ahead. In other people's minds... well, other people are probably worried about their own problems and not thinking about my red pants. Until now!
I've been reading Jennifer L. Scott's Madam Chic books and thinking about her ten item wardrobe concept. All of this purging of possessions has gotten me almost to the point of having a ten-item wardrobe. I love the idea of a uniform, maybe not the same one every day, but just a few outfits. I don't need fifty different ways of mixing and matching. I know what to wear; I know who I am.
If I only have ten articles of clothing and these pants constitutes one item that means I'll be wearing them often. People are going to think... whatever it is they usually think about.
