A guy’s guy on fashion: sailing trip

My parents recently bought a sailboat!  So this past beautiful Memorial Day weekend I went sailing on their boat for the first time along with my sister and her friend and my boyfriend.  Dressing for this trip was tricky.  It was 80 degrees and sunny in Boston where I live, but was 60 and cloudy where we went sailing.  So my mom instructed me to wear layers, which I did.  I wore a Free People tank, Express pants, Gap jean jacket, DKNY flip-flops and brought a C&C California sweatshirt and LeSportsac boat shoes.

So as we’re driving over to the marina, my bf and I made a stop along the way.  When I got out of the car, my guy’s guy boyfriend says “What are you wearing?” and the rest of the convo went like this:

me: “What can you possibly think is wrong with this outfit?”

the bf: “Those pants.  What are they?  They look like genie pants.”

:)

To his credit, I see what he’s saying with the pants.  I bought them from Express about 5 years ago when it was cool to wear them going out at night (like at a Las Vegas bachelorette party of E. Rice’s).  Now I wear them in situations like this trip because they are comfortable and cover my legs when I’m cold and I can easily roll them up if it gets warm.  Always good to know what my boyfriend is thinking of the outfit though!
