Why are khakis so hard to find?

I don't know how I went so long without having khakis in my wardrobe, but I finally found some I like after six months of searching. I think I like them anyway. I liked them better in the dressing room, but I think they'll grow on me.

The khakis I found at TJ Maxx for $7 (!!). They're cropped right above the ankle, so they'll transition nicely into the spring and summer. But for now, I'll wear them with long socks and my riding boots from Payless ($40).

The tank is one of my favorite dressy pieces -- I like the black on black details in different fabrics. It was a Forever 21 find for $7.

The blazer is an easy-to-wear cotton with ruffles on the hips that surprisingly aren't unflattering. It's Deb brand, which I usually stay away from because I think a lot of their clothes look like they're for someone much younger than me. Paired with the other pieces, though, I think it looks more mature and sophisticated. Plus, I found it at a thrift store for $5 -- why pass that up?
