leather of woes
I am weak.
This chick in town runs what i like to call the Perpetual Garage Sale--she buys out old storage places and auctions adn things like that for dirt cheap, then sells what she gets for--well, garage sale prices. And she gets--dear god, she gets some great stuff.
I picked up a couple of shirts and a really cute set of pajamas once there, and some shorts for Child. But you know, it was a casual thing.
Then, apparently, she got the storage shed of someone who had money.
There was an entire *jeep* involved. Silk bed linens. Towels to commit murder for. Dining room set from hell. A set of passports--don't ask.
But also, leather.
*facepalms*
I now own two leather coats, a leather tea length skirt, and--okay, this is *so* embarrassing--two pairs of leather pants. I averaged fifteen dollars an item, along with a red leather coat for my mom. And I didn't even put a *dent* in the massive pile of good smellingness there.
Where do you wear *leather pants*?
*facepalms again*
Did I mention that one pair is *black leather*? So soft I want to *sleep on them*? They *smell good*. And--it was like the spirit of someone who really isn't me took over my body and said, buy them! So I am *running* to the ATM and--yeah.
Beth was less than encouraging.
Jenn: I just blew *so much money* on two coats, two pairs of pants, and a skirt.
Jenn: And I have no idea where the *hell* i'm supposed to wear black leather pants.
hwmitzy: *raises an eyebrow*
hwmitzy: living in our fic, are we?
I so am NOT. This was for work, kind of. Except--seriously. What the *hell* was I thinking?
Tomorrow is Purse and Shoe Day.
I. Am. So. Fucked.
What shoes go with black leather or brown suede pants? I mean, from curiosity. Not that there is anywhere that I can wear them that I can think of.

just a question of mixing and matching textures.
Leather pants are okay for work if they're tasteful, not f*ck-me pants.

You know, looking at the black and considering the fit, I'm thinking these are not something one wears to dignified occasions.

From:What's a blingbling?
I'm trying to imagine a situation I have been in that leather pants would be appropriate to wear to. I may need to find new situations at this point.
But they're so *soft*. *pets them*

From:blingbling noun: shiny jewelry. Also known as "sparklies," though blingbling (also /bling-bling/) sometimes tends to the chunky gold variety.
OK, yeah. So I'm a big, honkin' dictionary geek

Whoa, congrats!
From:BTW - bling-bling is the rap term for over large, flashy, generally gold with diamonds jewelry or the the extremely 'actually meant to be obvious' costume knock-offs.
Think J-Lo, P-Diddy, The Sopranos, etc. I'm a New Yorker, I've seen this stuff for years before the current fad. To me, that much jewelry is just tacky.
But the expression for even one flashy piece in moderation is still called bling-bling. Heh.
Shame you didn't find a corset too. *eg* *thinks of your fic* *more eg*
Enjoy!
*hugs*

From:Basically, you can wear leather pants anywhere you want to. I've always said "It's not the occasion, it's the attitude." You can wear them to the corner store to pick up bread, if that's your fancy. :-)

From:You know, for only $15? I'd seriously consider turning them into a body pillow.
Of course, I wouldn't be caught dead wearing black leather pants. Or rather, everyone else would spork their eyes out.

From:To a bar to listen to music. Allow me to suggest a field trip to catch the Rogues at the Mucky Duck in Houston the Saturday after Thanksgiving. *g* Or to hear the Piper play with Cluan (Celtic band out of Austin), also at the Duck, later this month. If you go to that, though, I will have to hate you, because there's no way I can go to that, even though I'd give my right arm to do so. Of course, Houston may be a bit of a haul for you too, since they're playing on a @#$%!!! Thursday night.
Or, you know, I'm sure there are plenty of places to wear them in Austin; it's just that it's been so long since I've lived there, I couldn't say where, specificially. Bar. Music. You're on your own. *g*

From:I've also worn them with a black sweater out to dinner in some of the more eclectic areas of my fair city.
I almost wore them on a date last year to a Goth rollerskating party. *g*
