I usually stick to tops at this particular location; I popped in a few weeks ago, saw that all pants were marked at $2.99, and made an exception.
The beauty: Trovata High Waist Cords
The beast: Nylon Patterned Crazy PantsMy Uncle Chip donned a similar pair of crazy pants for the bulk of the eighties, which he likely accessorized with a terrycloth sweatband a la Richie Tenenbaum (yes, he is THAT COOL). He passed them onto my little brother a few years ago; I didn’t have the good sense to fight for them then. Uncle Chip: This one’s for you.
In other news, the weather’s been all kinds of shitty as of late. Spring storms: This one’s for you.

Shoot. Now I have to truck it all the way to goodwill gramercy in the rain!
Also, I’m super jealous of those trovata pants, and I adore your blog in general.
I’m kinda digging the crazy nylon pants, a la Uncle Chip. They are sorta harem style… don’t know if I’d have the guts to wear them but you are pulling them off!
Well, my darling niece, it took you the better part of two decades, but you finally discovered your hippy thrifty self. My ‘crazy pants’ were not just a garment, but a gateway to self liberation in the age of constrictive blue jean blah-ness. Those pants were privy to more DEAD shows then I can remember and a few dates that I’d like to forget.
And , by the way, you never saw me with a terrycloth headband- only folded-just-so bandannas for me.
ps. Tell your ‘little’ bro I miss my pants but I know he’s doing the ‘legacy of the pants’ proud.
Love you.
