the pants

sorry for not posting a lot, guys, I've been super swamped with school. I've scheduled a few posts every 4-5 days so you won't be wanting for a little bit.
if you like, follow me on Tumblr. I update that a bit more, just because it's easier to write quick little life-blips. I have a load of posts queued on that one too.

so on 9 April I decided to finally wear these pants.
High-waisted
mustard yellow
woolen
ski pants
from the early 60s.

They were my grandmother's.


I got some weird looks; The Pants even got sarcastically tweeted about.
This is what I aim for, folks!

(also have I told you guys about my new boyfriend)
(he's adorable)
(he looks like Matt Smith and Benedict Cumberbatch made a child that had Amy Pond's hair colour)
(he's the bass player in a rather successful local band)
(he's going to Princeton next year)
(he's very smart)
(and likes going on weird adventures with me)
(it is very exciting)
(he's basically the perfect human being for me)
(it's very odd)
(I keep expecting him to be gay or something because he's too good to be true)
(so yeah)
(he lives in the next town over so we can't see each other all the time)
(but it's okay because he has a car)
(and also he called me last night just to talk)
(which was adorable)
(nobody ever calls anybody anymore)
(*dies*)

  3. They're adorable! I totally wish I could pull off pants that cut.
    I'll have to settle with a different cut, but same color. Yellow is the freaking best.

  6. HAHAHA. I love the pants. Actually, I'm obsessed with the pants. They are incredibly awesome. And actually, the trend right now is 100% definitely bright colored, high-waisted pants so that tweet is hilarious. That is all.

  20. hahaa, that tweet is hilarious-it's stupidity, I mean. Because, even though trends/fashion/whatever is totally overrated and possibly might not even exist, mustard yellow and high waisted IS in. Like TOTALLY in. At least where I'm from. Ahhh, oh well. People will be people.
