Threesome Thursdays--Skinny Cargos

Music Playlist at MixPod.com

Ladies, it's that time again.  I have yet again chosen a fave in my closet that has had many more than three wears.  I super duper heart my skinny cargos.  

Top Left to Right-1 (wow, that's an oldie), 2, 3
Bottom Left to Right-1, 2, 3  

Bloggers and lovers of clothes in general will tell you that the favorite pieces in their closet come with a memory or an event or a feeling.

You know what I think of when I wear these skinny cargos?

First of all, I got these right before I took the plunge into blogging.  I saw them around the blogosphere and just fell in love with the look.

Fast forward a month or so later, Patrick had to go get jeans and he wanted me to go (he loves when I pick out clothes for him).  This of course meant that I got to pick out a lil sump-sumpin.  

Lo and behold, there they were.  On clearance.  In my size.  *raises hands to sky and starts singing*

So I have Patrick to thank for these precious gems.  The shape, the practicality, the pockets and the color.  I have worn these things to death and I show no signs of slowing down.  Especially with fall on the horizon.

It also reminds me of Bob.  I even did a post on his take on these lovelies in #2 on the bottom row.  He was in the army in the 70's you see.  And he used to wear a variation of these pants in the service.

He said all they used to say on the tag were Olive Drab Green.  They were nicknamed ODGreens.  Now every time I wear them, I think of that.

Today I went a little "bolder" with my cargos with a striped tee and leopard flats.  But because it was a work day (blech), I added the blazer to ground it.

Be sure to send me your Bachlorette Party looks for my link-up party by tomorrow-ish and don't forget to enter the Shabby Apple giveaway that I'm hosting!
