I Got Me Some Blue Work Pants!

In a moment of bravery, I decided to get myself some blue pants for work!  I got these Express Ultimate Double Wave Wide Waistband Editor pants in aquamarine, a rich medium blue color.

I love this color, they are pretty out there as far as work pants go, but I don't think they are unprofessional by any means.  Just different, in a good way.  I think!  I almost returned them though but decided to keep them and tore off the tags.  I normally like "studio stretch" material in Express pants, but this "double weave" is the only one that had this color.  To me it feels a bit more slick and less cottony than studio stretch.  The fabric is slightly thinner, which doesn't drape as well as studio stretch.  And also it's not as stretchy.  I got them in size 0, which is my normal size, but the waistband feels tighter.  But they do somehow make your booty look awesome!  Lol!  Like this model looks booty-licious, and I think these pants make me look like I have a bubble butt too.  I like it!  I'm sure I won't wear it that often, but I can definitely rock them from time to time.  

I also wanted to try out these Studio Stretch Wide Waistband Slim pants, since they sounded interesting.  A slim fitting leg sounds like a great idea, and I needed another pair of black pants since the ones I have now are dying a slow death.  But this style just doesn't work for me.  The hem opening is TOO slim for me, and they don't even really go over my shoes, so I have an awkward crease on top of my shoe, like how men wear suit pants.  No likie.  Maybe if I were a couple inches taller they'd fit me like the model.  But they are not worth the trouble of going to the tailor since I can just buy the regular ones that fit me perfectly length-wise.  These are going back.

Oh and I am so sad because I ordered another Studio Stretch Corset Pencil skirt, in black, since I like my tweed one so much.  But a couple days after my order was placed, I got an email saying that they no longer had the item!  Ahhh!!!  They were only $14 too and would've been such a steal!  Sad face!!!

Oh well!  You win some and you lose some!
