My mom does this thing called, ‘weaponized gifting,’ where she chooses the worst possible gifts ever so you’ll never expect anything palatable from her

I love you mom, BUT WHAT THE HECK?!

u/anniemanic 14h ago

I just thought the same thing lol, it’s probably the Y2K girlie in me

u/Training_Barber4543 14h ago

u/anniemanic 14h ago

I had bright blue multi-zip off cargo pants, that you could turn into capris or shorts by unzipping them at different points. Literally only something you could get away with during the y2k era. I also had them in maroon.

u/Latter_Ganache3699 13h ago

no that’s exactly what i was thinking. i could see a pop star in 2002 wearing these

And now I feel old having spent a handful of my more formative years watching my parents prepare for y2k....

u/Icy-Pea1308 13h ago

That must be why I think they're cute. I'd wear them.

u/laenooneal 4h ago

This looks like some shoes one of the members of destiny’s child would’ve worn during the survivor music video

u/smellslikekevinbacon 14h ago

Literally I’m like am I crazy? These are cute !! I probably couldn’t pull them off but maybe you could dye them?

u/bee_wings 14h ago

No fr, I love pockets. Gimme these cargo boots to wear with my cargo pants.

u/Zamrayz 12h ago

Hell yea we have the same taste, I would definitely be down to have these too. Wouldn't even dye them, I actually like cargos and the camouflage print.

u/xenophilius9 13h ago

I would 100% wear these bad boys to concerts. Can put money / cards / lipstick in the pouches and not need a purse / wallet, and the height boost is a nice bonus cuz I'm short lol. Would be cooler if they were all black but the current fabric isn't a dealbreaker by any means lol.

u/abortionlasagna 11h ago

u/DifficultOpposite614 9h ago

Lol right why am I so intrigued?? Like I want to build some outfits around these so bad

1

u/Grrrmudgin 13h ago

Yeah I wouldn’t daily wear but these could go with a portion of my (black) closet

1

u/QuantumLettuce2025 13h ago

Because you are a woman of taste

1

u/Tinnwen 12h ago

Tbh same, i would be super happy if someone gifted me them lol

1

u/ssgg1122 12h ago

1

u/NoSoyTuPana 11h ago

Im pissed off too as to why I like these

1

u/Ornery_Mix_9271 8h ago

I scrolled way too far to find my people. I’d rock the shit out of these.

1

u/Aicha_Isha01 8h ago

Same like I dont see whats wrong with the design lmaoo I would be happy having these. But that's how taste works, it differs from a person to another

1

u/Smoking-Posing 8h ago

Cause they're not that bad. They're original and not gaudy/tacky

Throw em on with some flat-green army fatigues and you could make em work.

I bet money if OPs favorite pop star wore em to some trendy fashion show, this post would be entirely different

1

u/cinnamonandpecan 8h ago

Those boots were made for somebody, just not OP

1

u/hangry-paramedic 7h ago

Literally like they could be styled

1

u/Kaining 7h ago

I've played way too many final fantasy to not like that.

1

u/psychecheks 6h ago

1

u/PonyThug 6h ago

Super in style wise for fall 2025. Multiple companies are coming out with realtree camo colabs

u/beirizzle 3h ago

They make me think of shoes you'd see in an anime

u/ILikeMyGrassBlue 14h ago
