out with the old...kinda



levi hates my pajama pants.

he's made it no secret that he thinks they're the ugliest things he's ever seen.

i don't blame him. they're awful. one pair i've had since i was 15. they're worn thin, full of holes, and just about the dumpiest things i've ever seen. the crotch goes down to my knees. my mom actually threw them away once.

i dug them out of the trash.

call me crazy, but i like when levi's attracted to me. so my mission for today was to find a new pair of pajama pants.

i was successful! i found a pair of cute, fitted, comfy pj pants on sale at anthropologie.

here are some before and afters.


exhibit one: ugly

exhibit two: ugliest

exhibit three: much much better


p.s. i found a skirt on sale at anthropologie today that i really really wanted to buy, and i didn't. please be proud of me for exhibiting restraint and being responsible. it was hard.

p.p.s. i am toootally NOT getting rid of my old pj pants. i had to hide them from levi because he wanted to throw them out.

p.p.p.s. sorry for my lack of blog interaction for the past couple days. i've been busy with the new job, sort of foggy brained, and dealing with a very slow internet connection. but i have read all your lovely emails and comments (gosh, i love hearing from you. it just makes my day), and i will be responding to them very soon. i promise.

if you look as sexy as you do in those pants, then he should have no complaints ;)

Maddie said...

i LOOOOVE anthro. everything is so cute! love the pants! :) and i have like 5 pairs of raggedy old pjs... maybe i should get me some new ones too!

Sara said...

You could use the old ones for scrap booking, or for cleaning...whatever you please!

Viewtiful_Justin said...

Yeah, I'd suggest cutting out scraps of theo ld ones and using them as backing on something...or framing them...and then throwing the rest out.

Way out.

Then ew ones, though, tres cute.

indie said...

Haha! I hope he finds the old ones and tosses 'em cause girl, they need to go! Thumbs up on the new ones..all the way. :))

Adele said...

i like old, ratty pajama bottoms! who cares when you are sleeping anyway (: (i'm glad you kept your old ones, you can always cut the bottom off and make them into a pair of shorts!) xx

Desiree said...

hah! I love how you love your sagging pj pants and your description of them! but, I'm on levi's side on this one - I have NO idea why you are still holding on to them! I think it might be that you are holding on to your past, hmmm, I think either Freud or Jung or Dr. Phil should be contacted on this matter. have a happy weekend, lovely!

p.s. I am so impressed with you for not buying that skirt. I, on the other had, have no control! I will learn from your example.

I'm so proud of you!
I'm really irresponsible when it comes to shopping.

Cat said...

I don't think the ugly ones are so bad. The ugliest pair though is really sad.

Ha! I just made a rhyme.

stephanie said...

Although your new pajama pants are super lovely, I have to say that I absolutely love your old ones. They look like the comfiest pants in the world. Keep them safe from Levi, haha :)

becks said...

Rotten pj pants have character! :)

____j said...

i really like those last ones! and congrats on not spending any more than you had to! i'm working on that, too.

Gabby said...

Congrats on being so responsible! Your new pants are cute, lady...I have a pair I call "comfy pants" that are fantastically ugly...yet perfect! I understand!

Tiffany said...

Jillian said...

I empathize with you - my husband calls my favorite plaid pajama pants "the lockdown pants". Ha ha.

Ivy Morgan said...

I'm with the SITS Welcome Wagon! I've been with it since the beginning, and it's been an amazing community of female bloggers. I've met some incredible women and read so many fun blogs. Glad to have you on board, SITSta!

I have zero self restraint... and therefore purchased much yesterday that was on sale and can't be returned. oops. So much for remorse.

Lindsey said...

I'm so proud of your anthro visit. Job well done. You should check out the spending hiatus I've signed up for at Mostly Mod!
And, yeah, it's kinda nice when our men like what we look like, isn't it?

Stela said...

hahah!! look at you little miss fancy pants!!
and I'm proud of you for not getting the skirt, I couldn't have been so strong.

Unknown said...

p.s. i once found a cute floral skirt for about $20 at anthropologie. i was so excited. then i found out it was an apron.

nicole mountz said...

thats so funny that levi wanted to throw your pj pants away :) josh is on a mission to throw away my "granny" sweater and i've hidden it all around my place. hopefully i found a spot that he wont be able to find!

nicole mountz said...
