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.

  4. 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.

  8. 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.

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

    Ha! I just made a rhyme.

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