Fashion flashback
I found a bunch of old (as in unworn since the early to mid-nineties) clothes in the back of a closet I was cleaning out so we can replace the flooring in our bedroom. Clothes that have been there, untouched and unmissed, since we bought this house ten years ago.
OMG, you guys. Did we really all wear our pants halfway up to our armpits back in the day?
Yes, unfortunately we did.
I tried things on and ended up looking like somebody's particularly dowdy mother - or grandmother - except back then those were totally normal pants I wore when I had a real job. Think high-waisted and tapered-legged and just generally unflattering and horrid, but completely unremarkable "business casual" at the time.
Is there anything that makes one's ass look wider than a high waist with tapered legs? Well, maybe if you added pleats, but even when I was fresh out of college I knew to stay the hell away from pleated pants. So I had that going for me at least.
Still. The horror. THE HORROR.
ETA: What I want to know is why I even bothered to move these back in 1999, rather than taking them to Goodwill (their current destination). What the hell was I thinking?
