HOW I REVIVIED MY OLD CHECKED PANTS

Hello dear readers, hope you are all well.

It has been a long time since my last post that it looks more like a pattern lately but I do have a legit excuse, we were downsizing and thus moving houses.  And it was absolute agony,  believe me.  Well not all of it.  On one hand, it was a blessing as my 22 years old daughter has moved out to live with her dad.  Well, she was living with me and her step-dad for the last twenty years so I figured it's high time for her father to know his own daughter better.

At first, I was a bit aprehensive about it but in the end it worked out well for everybody.

On the other hand, if any of you ever downsised, you must know the horror of it all.  For me, the biggest challenge was what to take and what not and once all was ferried to a new place, came the torture of unpacking and finding a place for everything, down to the odd spoon.  And if you are like us, have merged two households together, love to entertain in style, have bought ourselves and inherited from your parents their art work, dinner sets, cutlery, crockery, books, CDs etc, you know exactly what we were going through.

I tried to sell some of the stuff on Facebook's Marketplace without much success.  I was loosing my sleep agonising over it night after night.  Luckily, the new apartment, although smaller, is quite  spacious enough to accommodate most of our possessions, everything else was stored in the garage.  

I feel much better now, all the boxes are unpacked and have been taken away by the movers, even the artworks are back on the walls and both, ourselves and my daughter have settled nicely in our new respected homes.

Now, about this outfit.  I received so many nice comments on IG about this outfit that I decided it is worth a post.  According to my blog, these pants were purchased seven years ago in 2016.  I fell in love with this bold print and easy fit. They have been my go-to pants for quite sometime.  I stopped wearing them after I gained some weight but was never brave enough to let them go.  It was during the move while I was revaluating my wardrobe that I tried them and was happy to discover that they fit 👍. 

Originally I was planning to wear these pants in a few different ways to show you their versatility but then I thought why not just to use the images from an old post and save myself some and so  I did just that.  You can read the old post here 

This story reminds me of an old Russian proverb that we often used to say: "Everything new is well-forgotten old". Don't you agree?

Is there anything similar in the depths of your wardrobe that is worth giving a second chance?  Please share your story in the comments section below.

Until then,

Anna
