Thrifting and Leopard Print

posted on: Saturday, March 19, 2011

 This is an outfit I wore to work a couple weeks ago. I love these dress pants so much. I found them at a thrift store for $3 and they were already hemmed to the perfect length for me!! I found them two summer ago when a co-worker and I stopped by a work networking event. When we arrived we found out that we were supposed to have dressed sporty because there was beach volleyball and a bunch of other outdoor activities planned. 
There were a few other people at the event who were dressed up in office attire, so we quickly decided to all hop in a car and drive down the street to a nearby thrift store to look for shorts and t-shrits. When we arrived at the store I immediately saw these pants and completely forgot that I was searching for shorts! I ended up buying the pants and a belt and left the store with nothing sporty. I sat on the sidelines watching the games. lol. It was alright with me because I have a weird thing with games. I actually don't like games at all. I know, I'm crazy, but I'd much rather spend my time socializing.

  10. haha I hate games too!! I like board games but get nervous playing with people I don't know (weird, I know.) but any kind of physical game...no thanks! I was always the girl afraid of the ball and praying it wouldn't come my way!

    Very cute outfit! I love thrift store success!
