Um, thanks?

On my way out from Widener library tonight, I had an unusual experience.

Background story: I've been coveting skirt-pants for a while. They're long flowy pants that kind of look like a skirt. The amount of skirt-likeness depends on the material and cut. When I was in Israel this time, I finally found a place that sold them (or rather N showed me the place). So I bought 4 pairs. Tonight I wore my turquoise ones.

Random student: I really like your outfit!
Female Security Guard: Yeah, the colors are amazing. All the turquoise!
Me: Um, thanks. I bought them in Israel.
FSG: Thank you for wearing them so we could see them.

WTF? I used to wear a skirt with sequins that attracted random compliments, and it was never a favorite of mine, since other skirts fit better. Now I have the skirt-pants, which I do like in their bright turquoiseness, which apparently also attract compliments. To be thanked for wearing them!

I guess I will wear them more often.

where did you find them? i was on a quest for flowy pants when i was in israel last summer, and i did get some pants that i love, but not the degree of flowiness that i was seeking...

They were in a store on aggripas street. If you're at the bottom of Aggripas where it intersects with king George, it will be on the right-hand side of the street, a few stores in. I don't know the actual name of the store, but they're pretty much across the street from the store that sells hippie flowy skirts and stuff.

Hole in the Wall might also sell them, but I've never found them there.
