A Forgotten Find from Housing Works Warehouse Sale

I found these periwinkle herringbone trousers eons ago on the floor of Housing Works’ All-You-Can-Stuff-Bag Sale and immediately had them dry-cleaned. I forgot they were there because I’ve been doing my own laundry to save moolah (you know you’re in a recession when…), and finally retrieved them a few days ago, a.k.a. four or so weeks later. They are, hands down, made from the itchiest, scratchiest kind of wool in existence. Two pairs of tights made them bearable; tucking a shirt into the tights kept them from touching my skin at all and henceforth made them wearable.

These trousers are cut like a dream, and cost me approximately two bucks. Risking a full-body rash in order to wear them is more than worth it. Obvs.
