This is a pants outfit post but truth is, I hate pants.
I blogged about how I would make an effort to wear them more often, and the public announcement has been haunting me. This led me to analyse: why such intense negative feelings towards practical trousers?
I used to wear them plenty. In fact, I have proof from when I started my first blog (TWF part 1) back in 2007. Embarrassing flashback in 3…2…1…
| Is that supposed to be a wink?? |
Pants haven’t completely vanished from my wardrobe, but I only wear them when I go thrift shopping, traveling, when it’s too cold to shave (whoopsies) and when I’m sad.
I still don’t have a clear reason for this, but here are a few possibilities:
- My hips are not the same ones I had when I was 16.
- I have a reeally hard time finding the right fit or…I’m too lazy to try them on.
- Maybe I wore them so much they bored me.
- They’re too easy to wear, I like a challenge.
- I’m traumatized by the ultra low hip huggers and cropped tops that took over department stores and made my dad’s life miserable when I was a teen.
- And last but not least, it might just be a stage.
I really hope it’s just a stage! Pants, especially jeans, are soo easy to wear and…safe! I went for a hint of 50s in this outfit so I wouldn’t feel too out of my element: cigarette jeans, bun and gingham hair tie (still not popular in my country, thank goodness), kitschy heart bag…
If you notice, I got some more green in my hair. Most is hidden in the bun my little sister had to teach me how to do (shame on me). I’ll see this outfit as a step ahead in conquering my pant-phobia.

oh, you look absolutely adorable! and I like all your reasons… 🙂 I think my main reason for wearing pants too seldom is the fact that sitting down (in school etc) in tight pants is sooo damn uncomfortable. I do try to wear them when I know I’ll be standing up (for work e.g.) (yes it’s true, he he)
And this uber freshy outfit truly should be tagged “with a giddy(licious) content of Trendy mischievousness” Dear !

Natalie.

I love the outfit! The 1950’s is one of my favorite decades. I have been avoiding pants too, but it’s because it makes me look very chubby. (Well, I am chubby, but jeans make me look chubbier, I only wear cloth pants now, lol). I have read your blog before, but not entirely. I will check it out when I have more time! Keep it up!
P.S. You still owe me your signature dress. 🙂
Thank you Azariah!
I’m sure you’d look hawwwt in jeans. Brigitte Bardot had curves and she looked sooo amazing in them!

I hate pants as well, and I’ve been refusing to wear them for about 3 years now. I make an excepttion for sweatpants & yogapants, but that’s because I don’t have to wear that in public. To me, pants just don’t feel natural.
But I do love them on you! Well combined, and I adore that cute little purse!
XO, Imke
Tienes razón, es lo mas fácil y cómodo a mi me gusta k te arriesgues con faldas por k te vea muy bien , pero seguro es solo una fase y los volverás a usar pronto
OMG I couldn’t live with out my jeans. I have the opposite problem. Sometimes a year goes by and I never wear a dress nor skirt. I like how chic they are its just I feel they are so unpractical in some ways.Your outfit is amazing. Pants look great and so does your hair.
Keep the posts coming I love seeing that there are people with their own fashion sense here in Honduras. Here most girls call themselves fashionable just because they follow the trends O_o. I love seeing the risks you take specially in a town like La Ceiba I can only imagine the stares you get for some of your outfit choices.
I really like this look! And the green in your hair looks great! I know what you mean about pants being boring. I used to wear them a lot but were them now if I want to feel comfortable, if I am sad or if I am lazy! Although, they can look great at times and needless to say, I love them!
It seems to me that you look better without sunglasses.
I dont like pants much either! I dont like them cas I hate anything sticking to my lower half and because its too hot in India. The only pants I can tolerate are corduroys because they are comfortable and maybe old jeans!
