MISS MATCHED?

Oh, what a beautiful day!  Check out that blue sky!

So, I realize that in theory, this outfit does not match at all.  Flannel and snakeskin together as one?  But when I put it all together, I just couldn't not wear it.  Something about it felt so right.

I thrifted these pants a couple of weeks ago and am totally smitten with them.  I was on a mission for a pair of high-waisted, pleated khakis and must have tried on about 5 pairs.  Of all the ugly-ass khakis in the world, how could I not find what I was looking for?!  Then, lo' and behold, the last pair was the pair.  How funny is it that every store seems to be remaking pants like this right now when Goodwills coast to coast are just loaded with them?  Keep your fancy pants, Zara - I got mine!

  6. This outfit reminds me how, every year, I decide I want a flannel shirt and I never end up getting on. I need to change that, I really do.

  10. The pants are great and your checked shirt looks so cute with them! It's so good when things come back in style like that.

  12. I need to have some pants thrifting patience. You wore those great terrible pants, Jen from Jen loves Kev was rocking some denim short overalls. I need to venture into the pants section sometime soon!

    I recognize this outfit. It's oddly familiar. Hmmmmmmm...

  13. You look awesome! As an avid thrifter I can't imagine buying this style of pants brand new when, as you said, Goodwill is crammed full of 'em.
