This is just a random rant but..... Today I was in Express on my lunch break looking just browsing and wasting time. I came across this KICKASS! pair of khaki slacks that had a garbage bag waistband (similar to the ones here that MKO is rocking)

Anyway, they didnt have a tag on them so I had one sales guy ask the manager how much they were. He walks up to the manager, explains to her that I asked to know how much they are and she then makes a disgusted look and says "YUCK! I dont know but those are ugly!". I thought it was so rude of her. I wanted to walk out of the store right then and not give them a damn but of my business, BUT obviously that lady is an idiot... so I bought them anyway.
But... to actually give this blog some sort of point.... how do you think these TOPSHOP platforms would look with some wide leg garbage bag waist slacks?

I love both! Great for spring. I've been searching for a pair of trousers like that as well and ended up buying a skirt with that kind of waistband at H&M. On a different note, I had a seriously rude sales person-experience at White House/Black Market where I actually did walk out because they were so incredibly rude to me. The worst part in your situation is that that person was actually the MANAGER. Man, if the manager at the clothing store I used to work at ever heard me say something like that, I'd be fired on the spot!
