You can't touch this

"The hottest new trend for Spring"
At least that is what the TV told me the other day.
Why...oh why?
I couldn't help but be afraid. I was very afraid.
Has society not learned it's lessons from fashion disasters of the past?
But really, can they be flattering on even the hottest of women?
I saw Rihanna wearing them. It still didn't do it for me.
Putting all my prejudices aside
there are some big time benefits we should all consider.
I guess if you ever need to wear a diaper you'll still be lookin golden.
And who doesn't? I've almost peed my pants plenty of times.
I have funny friends and family.
Sliding into your "skinny pants" after pregnancy....piece of cake.
Carmel Christmas Cakes and French Fries. Bring. It. On.
And seriously can you imagine all the stuff you could store in those britches.
That's why all the pretty ladies in the picture only need clutches.
Maybe I am just old.
An old lady.
But I just don't think I can ever do down this road.
I will be the old unstylish lady.
Over time I have learned NEVER...SAY NEVER.
But hopefully
It's never Hammer time.
for me.


P.S. If anyone I know has some of these in their closet anxiously awaiting spring. I'm sorry . I love you. I hope they are like the one's in the last picture though. They are way better than the other two. Just sayin.

Accidentally clicked on your blog from Heather's links. What a happy accident. You made me laugh. Oh my--at least when I see someone wearing these this spring I will have been warned!

Heather, if you read this please know you cannot spend any money to buy these pant-things.

Holy cow that was soooo funny and TRUE! Yesterday they had a fashion segment on the Today Show that was the most horrid 'up and coming' fashion I have ever feasted my eyes upon. It included these pants. Hey, I know. I am just a simple Heber Girl but I can tell when something looks BUTT UGLY!
I agree though the last picture of the three is the best looking of the three.
Who knows? Maybe in a few months we will be eating our words and donning these pants to Days Market or Smiths. But I'm thinking not.

Heather said...

Um, wow. I was lamenting yesterday that I don't have much sense of style. But if this is where style gets you, I guess I'm okay.

I Know!! I'm still gagging a little over the peg rolled dress pants. Peg rolled jeans:okay. Dress pants:mmm...I don't know. Love YOU, Monica. You're a hoot!

Retraction: I just walked past the mirror and realized that I am pretty much wearing these already, baggy gray capri sweatpants, cinched at the bottom, over gray long johns. I feel so "in."

I had a pair of these when I was in college and worked at EXPRESS, which, back then, was THE cool clothing store. They are still ugly, but I will admit they are very comfy.

Stephanie said...

AHHH I saw some of these pants being featured on the Today Show. They are just bad! But you do throw out some good points to wearing these pants. I just don't get it, high watered pleated pants. I think not, not for me. But again never say never...right?

Andrea said...

Monica I laughed out loud as I read that. Thanks for a good laugh... I have had a long day. You are the greatest. Can I see you again soon, pretty please?

Angie H. said...

Oh my heck...I am so shocked! I know I will NEVER be seen in those!

Amy Pulley said...

Wow, I'm still laughing... at the pics, but more so at your hilarious words... so funny! It is downright tragic that such an unflattering item has made it onto any 'trend' list. I can't figure out why someone would choose to look like they crapped their pants... hmmm.
