Jacket, Allen B. Denim shirt, Old Navy. Denim trousers, Express. Boots, Style & Co (thrifted). Brooch, thrifted. Tassel, Epcot Morocco. Arrowhead pendants, thrifted. Bracelet, Serket Jewelry.
Much of this ensemble was inspired by trends: denim shirts, striped blazers, moto styling, punky jewelry, ethnic accents, western footwear. The trousers, though, are a classic: dark, wide-leg denim. Stacey and Clinton seem to put almost every What Not To Wear participant in a pair. Those two are all about the classics, so I know I can’t go wrong with these trews.
My only complaint with the trousers is that the rise is a little low. I have to watch the hem length of the shirt I pair them with. Otherwise, they’ve served me well since I bought them over four years ago (November, 2007).
Until putting together this recap, I never would have guessed that I’d worn these trousers seventeen times. I seem to wear them in spurts. I’ll forget about them for a few months and then I’ll want to wear them every Friday. I’m thankful this classic is in my closet when I remember to reach for it.

Beautiful trousers!
The trousers are undeniably great...but I'm lovin the tassel! Very flirty, colorful and fun.
I always say I hate wearing pants. Maybe I've just never found the perfect ones. Looks like I've got a good reason to go shopping! Love these! Every outfit is stylish and creative!
I love the flirty little lemon tassle with your striped jacket. You look great, trousers included. It's pretty cool how you have documented your outfits for so long. I like journalling and sketching what I've worn too because it is such a strong recall trigger of the day.
Ah, it was these trousers that brought me to your blog those many years ago when I was trying to advocate for appropriate denim in the workplace. I am so glad you know how to do it right!
