I needed some basic black in my wardrobe, since everything I had was very colorful and bright. I don't go for the ordinary, however, so this fits the bill. My lady friends told me I needed pearls, so I got some faux pearls to complete the outfit. I am wearing the baggy pants. They are thick and warm and have pockets. I am wearing them with the slit side long shirt. It looks best in a light breeze, not in my kitchen.
