In May we swooned as Carrie Bradshaw and her best gal pals played dress up with “Take, Toss or Keep” to the music of “Walk This Way” by Aerosmith.
Today, Fiance finally swapped out his summer clothes for his winter ones. I insisted he get rid of some clothes that he never wears. He told me he’d throw them away when he swapped them back in the Spring.
I did however, insist – I INSISTED that he toss a pair of pants that he should have never purchased to begin with. In his defense, they’re a nice pair of 100% wool pants from Jos A. Banks. Unfortunately for my color deficient love, they’re tan/brown houndstooth.
Apparently, he’s worn these once.
Me: “I know I’m not a stylista or anything but Jebus, was your ex girlfriend really lacking in such style that she let you walk out of the house in those ugly things?”
[he laughed knowing I'm half right there]
Me: “I mean if you wore those to work you boss would ask if you joined the golfer dad train which I hate to tell you – is still a few years coming. if you tried to wear those things with me I would march you back into the bedroom and insist you change like a mother does when her sixteen year old daughter tries to dress like a hobag.”
[he laughed more]
Me: “really honey, you should just…get rid of them. Some nice homeless man will enjoy them after picking them up for $5 at the local Goodwill. Now come on. Just…no. No. No.”
[he laughed more]
me: “Okay, I’m going to put them on my blog. I’ll have my freaders decide if you get to keep them.”
It was a mutual form of arbitration. I’m probably leaving out some key conversational points but they’re all moot at this point. So freaders…you be the judge. Does he get to keep or toss the pants in question?
Here are the pants…
Here’s a close up of the pattern.
So what think you fabulous freaders – is my fiance a walking fashion victim? Does he get to keep or should he toss the pants in question? My vote? Toss. Hands down.
edit: Fiance has just informed me that he has worn these ugly beasts more than once. They apparently used to be a regular in his wardrobe staples. Yikes!
