Denim Man-Capris
These pants aren't from the men's section. They aren't from the women's section either. I can't even say they are from the juniors section. These are straight up from the kids section.
Why did I buy them?
Based on that intro paragraph, I do feel I have to justify. I hit a point in my life where I could be called no other shape than "rectangle". It was at a time when the fashion world seemed to cater to curves. After a frustrating day in Reitman's, looking to expand my summer wardrobe, I walked into their children's section and found these jeans on sale. A couple scissor cuts later (since the size 14 fit, but were too short, and the 16s were long enough but fell down immediately), I had a new pair of capris.

What worked?
Until gravity thinned out my waist a bit and transferred some of itself to my hips (which I'll say is a good thing, I just blame gravity because I don't understand what happened), they were the perfect solution to a world that didn't cater to 2X4s.
What didn't work?
They really made me look like a bought my clothes from the K-Fed collection, and if I can remember the year correctly, I likely bought it when K-Fed was still with Brittany.
How have I worn them?
Pretty much only on lazy weekends since the blog started. I think in the past, I only went through my closet in winter, as that's the only reason why I can see them kicking around still!

LOL, we all have a pair of pants like this in our closet I think. And there isn't anything wrong with it, some days you need a good loungy pair of pants!
ReplyDeleteHaha! The K Fed collection is never a good thing! I often buy clothes in the kids section since I'm so petite :)

Enter my giveaway!
I've gone over to the guys section in the past when nothing but hoochie shorts have been available. My hips never fit right in kids clothes, even when I was in kids sizes. I blessed the day that they started producing size 0/1 in juniors. Although like you, gravity hit and now I'm curvier than before. I think that's just part of life.
