Ah . . . a purchase (but it is classic)

I was not looking for it. But, well, when I saw this Simple Enjoyment Trouser by Ffixxed at Stand Up Comedy I found myself thinking for a good few days about it, asking if it will be a workhorse or a what in my language would be called a fertilizer for the closet (meaning, stuff bought, rots unused and just well . . . hangs in there), what I'd match it with (I think it works with everything actually), liked the fact that it works beautifully with flats and heels, also inquired into whether this is mere fashion or an item that would withstand the test of time and peeked into my archives of old photos from other ages and concluded: yes, I should get it.

Wide pants are my go to items and I do own one pair of black and grey trouser from Theory which I no longer sadly fit into (oh, the days when I wore them to death every other day, alternating between the two color shades) that is more closer to a straight/boot cut with enough flair to elongate the legs. I never really owned a tapered trouser that is tailored, and my experiment with the Hope time trouser was a mixed blessing (a bit too much of slouchy-ness built in, too much sarouel-influence around the waist which is okay for this year but down the road would most likely only look weird). But, thanks to my friends I did get used to wearing skinny jeans so I figured it may be worth a try to give the tapered pants a try.

Grey works for every skin tone, and with my mostly navy and black wardrobe, for casual days I'd roll it up and wear with flats, on more dressy occasions I'd keep it unrolled, and pair it with heels (and I love the heels in the first picture . . I think Acne had something similar to it, that will be on my wish list), since I am not really allowed to wear jeans in the place I'm hoping to work for, it's a transitional piece that bridges between the wardrobe of the 20s to the wardrobe of the 30s.

I also love the way the folks at Stand Up Comedy style their pieces---this will be the second time I am placing an order with them (the first one was the Isaac Reina convertible suede clutch/shoulder bag which still makes me smile each time I take it out of the box) and their customer service is prompt and helpful. Can't wait till the pants arrive at my doorsteps!
