The Argument for Burgundy Pants

A couple of weeks ago I wore burgundy pants to work. And then out to a happy hour. And then the murders began.
Just kidding. James Altucher recommended trying that. Apparently everything gets more interesting when you say that. Based on the popularity of Netflix’s murder/mystery docuseries I can only agree.
ANYWAY…pants.
It’s an odd color for pants I suppose. I was stopped about a dozen times by people (twice by the same woman) who would normally not interact with me (womp womp). They wanted to comment on the pants. And then we’d maybe chat a bit or at the very least share warm smiles and thank you very muches.
12 or so different people that I engaged with because of some damn pants. Amazing. So my point here is…be different. Wear something odd, have a different kind of haircut, whatever. Peacock a bit. It welcomes conversation with strangers. And the happiest lives are the ones that are most connected.
