When Alex saw this outfit (which was also the first time he had seen me wearing these pants), the first words out of his mouth were "Oooohhhhh, Combat Jesse...." Um, I guess I'll take that as a compliment.  These did feel a bit masculine, but I paired them with my favorite sparkly pullover and some pearls to add a feminine touch.

So, I'm not going to lie, these pants are new, BUT I didn't buy them.  I used my Gap rewards points, so they were free thanks to prior purchases.  I had seen them in the store a few months ago, and while perusing online I saw they only had one size left and it just so happened to be mine. I had the reward points saved up, so I thought this would be the perfect time to cash them in. These pants are extremely comfortable, and the perfect pair of khakis for work or a casual weekend.  I have them in red, and I'll probably buy (after April 1) a few more fun colors for spring/summer.
