Ode To The Mick Pique Pant
The first thing I ever bought at Sunhee Moon were the black Mick Pique pants. I tried them on, and immediately knew that these pants were MADE for me. I know a lot of women feel that way about Sunhee's pants, cause she's expertly tailored various styles for every imaginable body shape. But the Micks! They've pretty much put all my other pants on the back burner. Never mind that I have three other pairs of black pants which at one point or another felt like they were the ultimate black pant, but now, I can hardly get myself to wear any other pants at all, black or not black.
The pique fabric is stretchy, but not so stretchy that it starts to sag or create those knee pockets that my bony knees seem to permanently create in every other pair of pants. Not to mention it goes with absolutely everything in my closet. They look great with flats, sandals, heels (although I never wear them) and tucks perfectly into my favorite pair of boots.* They look great under a little tunic, or even paired with just a basic t-shirt. In fact, every time I wear my Micks with a t-shirt and little black flats, I feel just like Patricia from the film Breathless by Godard (minus the short blond hair, the stack of New York Herald Tribunes, and Jean Paul Belmondo trying to convince me to escape to Italy with him).
So basically, I love my Micks and might have to buy another pair just to make sure I have a back-up pair just in case...

* In response to Joyce's post, my favorite pair of boots also happen to be flat brown boots, which I bought at Mission Thrift on Mission & 19th for $20 (despite the fact that they were handmade in Italy). I've bought 3 pairs of boots there.
