Day 9

I was pretty excited about wearing my new Gap Hip Slung Khakis today (the top…eh, not so much). My granny gave me the pants as a birthday gift [ie. she gave me the cash to go shopping, and this is what I bought with the money].

But before I further comment on my pants…let me discuss my shirt. Every time I wear this top (and I forget this until I’m actually wearing it)…I feel like a milkmaid. I’m not really sure why I have this mental association, considering milkmaids probably don’t sport plaid, deep-V, pouffy sleeve, baby-doll style blouses….but I do. Therefore to mimic my imagination…(cue yodelers)…this picture should have been taken in a picturesque field featuring Heidi roaming around in the background with a goat or something. 

Day 9

Now, let’s talk about these slacks….I have two big issues with these pants:

1. Even though I purchased these pants approximately two weeks ago, and they fit perfectly…they are now practically a size too big. Most people would be delighted with this revelation…but this just ticks me off.

2. The pants make a “wheeeeeeet wheeeet wheeeeeeet” sound when I walk (think of the sound that corduroy makes [or the squeal of a small pig]…it’s fairly similar to that…but [possibly] more annoying). I find myself blushing as I scurry down the hallways….especially since walking faster only amplifies the problem. Instead, a slow mosey (waddling like a bow-legged cowboy) is the most questionable, yet best result-driven option. I just don’t mosey well.

All of this combined makes me feel like this:

Milkmaid-esque, sound-effect-making Monday

Happy Monday!
