How did I notice my pants were inside out you ask? I came upon the opportunity to tie the belt thingie that comes with these pants and for some reason I just happened to reach around the back of my pants where I felt the label sticking straight out. At first I thought this was one of those errant labels that tends to stick out regardless. You know the labels I'm talking about...usually they're on your most expensive blouse you've chosen to wear to a special event -- when you're at a party trying to look your most elegant and stylish? It only took a few seconds to realize that the label on my pants was in the right place. It was the bottom half of my body that was not in the right place.
Though in the interest of diminishing self-esteem, I've decided to spin this idea of wearing my pants inside out. Making the decision to wear my pants in such a manner is part of my new strategy for going green which is young, trendy, hip and cool. Today I'm wearing the same pants right side out, setting the fashion world on fire. Too bad I work by myself and you are the only friends I have on the planet so you'll just have to take my word for it.
And still on another positive note, I took the soon-to-belong-to-someone-else's hippy sign down all by myself this morning before leaving for work. I own my own drill that my mom gave me after my husband died. My husband died in Oct 2001 and for Christmas that year I got a drill set. I hope to GAWD that when I die, I can't be replaced by a tool though this fear looms large. Honestly I've really not needed a man around since receiving that drill set.This gives me a fantastic idea. Now if anyone asks if I'm dating I'll tell them "Why yes! His name is Makita." And they will think I've lost my mind completely now that I'm dating a man from the islands.
Don't forget to put your name in to win the hippy sign!

I am so glad someone else besides me has done this. I'm laughing with you not at you, I swear!
Tops yes but pants?!? Love the "Green" spin. Makes sense to me.
I can't tell you how many times I've done this with shirts because of my absolute REFUSAL to have to look in the mirror in the morning and ruin an otherwise perfect day so far! Luckily for me, I immediately cut out all my 5X size tags as soon as a shirt makes its way into my house. If it's not there, we don't have to acknowledge it.
Ooh, Makita! Sounds so exotic. I bet he's a real monster in the sack, eh?
I hope if I DO ever have to be replaced by an appliance that it's at least a Cuisinart or a KitchenAid. I'd hate to know they could replace me with that shitty brand of $4 appliances they sell at Wal-mart. Those blenders can't even crush ice!
Just when I thought nothing could top yesterday! You crack me right up.
Somewhere there is a great joke waiting to be made about tool replacements, but I'm not about to make it.
It'll take a Borg Warner to replace me!
When caught with a "wardrobe malfunction" it is best to just fake it, after all millions of people want two pants for the price of one and you have just started a trend!
it's very lucky to wear your clothes inside out by accident- - it means you'll get a present! :o) Perhaps someone will gift you a jackhammer?
Idea - cut off all labels. Then you'll never notice...or care. I mean, who notices if a persons pants are the wrong way out when said persons nose is covered in coffee??

I am so ahead of you! (see http://chris-theedgeoflight.blogspot.com/2010/04/one-of-those-days.html)
I've been setting the Canadian fashion industry on fire for some time now. I'm glad to know that my influence has reached the U.S. Europe and Asia is next.
You must take your clothes off much like my husband...he's always wearing shorts and t-shirts inside out.
LOL on Makita.
Who's this Makita guy? You never told me you had a new guy. (I don't remember giving you the drill. What a smart gal I am.
Oh, I know what you mean. Living in Yellowstone Park has taken my fashion sense to a new low. Nobody cares what you wear here. I feel quite comfortable in jeans and sweats and hiking shoes. When I have driven to civilization in my backwoods clothes, I feel like a mountain woman and totally out of place. I'm not sure I can go back to normal clothes once I return to Ohio...to see a dentist!
Cool two for one on the pants a new trend!
Thanks for the laugh as usual:)
I once heard that if you put your shirt on inside out, then notice and "fix" it, it brings you good luck! Can't imagine what happens with pants, but be optimistic :-)
OMG.... this totally cracked me up.
I love the idea of you and Makita setting the fashion world on it's ear.
you must make this a blog challenge.
like the 100 push ups challenge only insideout'ier.
Im in.
shall I start with my shorts today?
so we post photos on our blogs?
we all await your next command.
I know Makita... nice guy. Always dresses in blue, for some reason.
Just found your blog from clicking around (not even sure how I got here, honestly.) You are too funny. I've done the shirt thing inside out (and also called it fashion :)) but so far I've managed not to put my pants on inside out. I guess I'm just not as fashion-savvy as you.
But.. But.. inside-out-pants are so much more comfortable! (unless there are pockets. in which case they are not so comfortable, but stuff doesn't fall out as easy.)
HTH
Just today I had my sweatshirt on backwards. Took me awhile to figure out why it didn't feel right. I dunno...
And I must say the sentence, "Honestly I've really not needed a man around since receiving that drill set..." gives me pause. :-)
