Three Posts in 1: WDIW 2 Days Ago, Layering Challenge & New Cords!

Three posts in one with thins one! The usual WDIW posts but also a layering entry for our current challenge on NikeTalk, in addition to showcasing a new pair of trousers.

Yesterday was pretty cold for Southern California and it didn't get any better with the wind as the evening progressed. As I didn't pack a coat, and I mean really even then you don't need a coat in So. Cal, I decided to wear my jacket over the sweater. Properly layering can make a huge difference in not only how warm you are but how much you pack when traveling or simply how much you have on you on a day-to-day basis. Currently on NikeTalk we are doing a layering challenge so this falls into that category. Lastly, my brother got these really nice blue, almost royal blue cords for christmas (will post individual pictures of them later) but he claims they don't fit him. More they don't fit him as loose as he'd like them too, they are a bit big at the waist but nothing too major. Mom hemmed them for me, so that cost me nothing. Got these and a black pair from him for $30.
