Green is the new neutral - 7/28/14
I decided a few months ago that I wanted to add grayish-green into my color palette as a neutral, so I bought these pants from my favorite online secondhand store Twice. They were a bit big, but I had recently been reading about how easy it is to skinnify pants, so I gave it a shot. For a first effort, they didn't come out bad, but I did make the legs a touch too skinny, and I didn't want to mess up the pocket area, so the top is a bit baggier than I would like. I call them boyfriend pants, and it's all good. I wear them quite a bit, but I'm a freak when it comes to my matching behavior, so unfortunately they are not the neutral I had hoped them to be. I pretty much only wear them with black, but I have plans to branch out at some point. It's so bad that I tend to wear my latest pair of glasses (also an attempt at adding the "neutral" gray-green to my wardrobe) only with black, and now these pants.
What I wore:
- black cami
- black silk cardigan
- green trousers
- black strappy sandals
- silver flat hoops
- long silver drop necklace
- black/silver watch
Where I went:
- work
- neutral, but in a good way
What would have made it better:
- adjusting the fit of the pants slightly, but overall it was good
