Refashioned: Hipster Herringbone Pants

July 26, 2012
I found these pants for $2. They showcase all the parts that went wrong in girl's clothes in the late 80s, early 90s. They have velvet, maroon & forest green, overwrought embroidery and a slight flare. Disastrous, no? I quickly saw that they were the perefct waist size for Felix, but long and wide. I just had to simply cut off the disgusting flowers and trim up the legs a bit. I used Felix's go-to skinnies as a template and went to town on them. I should have added rad knee patches for awesomeness and functionality, but I didn't. Kids this age really wear their clothes hard. Especially when crawling. I really should've thought about that, but laziness got the better of me. I'm working on going through Penelope's and Felix's closets to put away the tight clothes and replenish their wardrobes with duds ready for fall and winter weather. It's fast approaching us in our new neighborhood. We're expecting 6 feet by the beginning of November.
