So I bought orange pants...

We were in the mall the other day, and I strangely resolved to look for bright-colored pants. Is this me trying to be fashion-forward? Or is this me trying to have fun with my clothes? I've learned that the clothes I wear make a statement and sort of precludes my attitude-- if that makes any sense. My search for bright-colored pants brought me to Carol's suggestion of Express. Now, I've been in this store before, but I had never bought any clothes from there in my life. But we figured of all the stores, Express would definitely have bright-colored pants. Sure enough... I spotted them quickly upon entering the store. There was a wide array of colors from bright blue, mint green, to orange. For some reason, orange seemed to speak to me.

"I'm your color. You must wear me." So two things about me: I'm a good listener, and I'm easily convinced. Orange pants wins! I bought them among other things-- my first purchase from Express! As I carried my bag, something occurred to me. Naturally, it's called "buyer's remorse." The flood of doubts came... Am I going to look foolish in these bright orange pants? What am I supposed to wear with them? Will they make me look gay? (*stereotype alert* you know, because all gay guys are stylish!)

There's no turning back now. I could return the pants but that's like saying that I don't have the balls to wear what I originally wanted. And that's pretty sad. So I'm going to wear these orange pants, and I'm going to wear them proudly!

And well, these pants do look pretty good on me!
