Sometimes I have to eat crow with myself. Especially when it comes to a style or silhouette I swore I would NEVER wear. And then, I do. Like, say track pants for instance. I kind of said to myself that I would never go there. Saying never is one of those things that’s kind of a dumb idea. Because, I guarantee the minute you say never about something, fate will come along and make a hypocrite of you. Like being “that mom” who takes your kid into the grocery store with a stained shirt, or forgetting to zip your zipper. In my case, fate came in the form of these drapey track pants, which I basically couldn’t resist (not my fault ;-). Anyways, the navy blue variety of these babies, which I have been craving since I bought the black ones, is now half-off at Nordstroms.
Guess who’s getting herself some blue track pants?
Me that’s who.
With a steaming plate of crow on the side…
Happy Monday.
PS. Nordstrom’s half-yearly sale is going on as we speak… don’t miss out. ;-)

I love them! I did the same thing with skinny jeans a million years ago. Now I own and love them a lot! You look adorable in everything. I love your style.
are those track pants the wayf from nordstrom? ha! i ordered them, but i’m not sure i’m crazy about the little pleats on the front. they look way cuter on you!
They are wayf. I altered mine down to fit better, they were a little awkward when I first got them but I love them now that they’re slimmed down to fit.
how did you alter them? I think i’m going to keep them, but they’re a bit long for me and i like the length you altered it to. do you think nordstrom can do it for me? i’m not a great seamtress!
I removed the cuff at the bottom, slimmed and shortened them and then replaced the cuff. It wasn’t a very difficult alteration, I’m sure they could do it at Nordstrom or any tailor could do it.
these are so chic and beautiful on you though! love it. glad you didn’t say never forever
That’s happened to me more times then I can count. I say I’ll never wear… and then I go and like the style. Totally agree I’ve learned never to say never.
Agi:)

Funny as I do this all the time! I am usually so late to jump on a style bandwagon as I am so hesitant and say the whole “never” thing a little too often. Case in point, those track pants but with how adorable they are on you and seeing them a few other times on others makes me want to rethink them a bit!
I totally said that about the peplum silhouette. And then along came this oh-so-flattering black peplum sweater from Loft … and I’m a convert. It can be tough sometimes to balance staying true to what is “your style” and trying new things.
