Black on Grey …. and No Red in Sight

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

You know those pieces of clothing in your wardrobe that you just abhor one moment, and then a few weeks/months/maybe even years later, you absolutely love?

These pants are a shining example of all of the above.

The story? I wanted to dress comfy. The true story? I didn’t want to wear sweatpants.

Sammy D loathes sweatpants. [but yes, sometimes I wear them]

Either way, after scouring my collection for anything 90s related for the Fresh Prince of New York party/fundraiser I’m styling this Sunday evening [promotional tout: GET YOUR TICKETS HERE!!], I remembered that I had these wool, late 80s/early 90s gems from the closet of Mama D.

And because the snowpocalypse had hit the previous week and I still needed to wear the loathed galoshes that have proven SO useful to me over the past few weeks … well, the rest of the story is history. True history, might I add.

Read on for the Cliff Notes.

Editor’s note: This is a late post. I was in Philadelphia working for #roadtrip2010 project [Sammy D TV video update coming soon on all of that]. And because of the site relaunch [do you like it?!?!] I have been faarrrr behind. Official site relaunch annoucement/holler/shout-out coming to an email inbox near you. Thanks for reading ;-) xx, SD
