Ok guys..Here is my situation..

I went to some garage sales this morning with my mom. At one of the houses we went to I found a pair of black leather pants with the price tags still on..$140. I asked the woman running the sale what she would take for them, she said $5. They were my size, so I bought them.
I know a lot of you may be rolling your eyes, but I have always wanted black leather pants. With the right sweater or tailored shirt they are very dressy and classy. Plus I have a pair of black leather boots with three inch heels that I have never worn that would look fabulous with them..Plus, I am a small person. I'm a runner, so I am very lean, so these pants really flatter me, frequently I look like a 12-year-old boy from the waist down. I was very happy with the way they look..They looked sexy!!
Anyway, here's my question, and be honest folks, my mom is laughing her a$$ of at me right now, I can take ribbing! We are going to a Mother's Day buffet tomorrow at a nice restaurant. Me, my husband and son, my mom, and my sister and brother-in-law and their three kids. My family is loud and boisterous and we are always dogging each other. I love my sister dearly, but she is fighting the good fight with her weight (she had three kids!!) and always criticizes me for wearing my clothes too tight. (I don't!!!) I know she would go ape over me wearing leather pants, and she'd talk about it ten years from now! My mom and my husband, though, are BEGGING me to wear them! My husband says they look gorgeous, and my mom just wants me to rile everyone up. I put them on with a nice dressy gray tailored shirt, and the whole thing really looks great, very classy like leather pants should, not sleazy at all. I don't want to upset my sister, but I know my broth-in-law would have a great time with it!!
Should I do it? Leather pants are always in, right? Let me stress again, they are not tight and shiny like a rock star, they are butter soft and hug me exactly where the should. Advice please! And be honest, guys and gals!!

If I were you and you liked them which it's obvious that you did or wouldn't have bought them wear them.

Heres my honesty-
Brunch buffet=no
Dinner buffet=yes

I say wear em fins, it'll be a hoot and you'll be the talk of the day. I just wonder do they go sh..sh..sh..sh when you're walking?

Volley..Thanks, I was kinda thinking the same thing..It's 3pm, so I guess linner? Dunch? I guess 3pm is late enough?

Debtcruncher, they do indeed make that lovely noise when I walk..And the three inch heels make me stand up straight..And with the heels I get to be 5'4 for one day!! But answer me this..Are leather pants sexy or tacky?

Hiya Fins, I'm the type of person that probably breaks all the fashion rules. lol If I like it, I wear it, I say go for it, if it pleases you and your husband, do it! Very Happy

fins, honey, I do SO hope you're wearing those damn leather pants! If I was slim and trim and my husband thought I looked hot, my a$$ would have those pants on in two seconds!!! I don't care if it's Friday night or Mother's Day, baby! You put those pants on and walk in there proud! Hold your head high, girlfriend!

Seriously!

If you look good in them and, more importantly, feel good in them then wear them! It's nice to wear something that makes you look good whenever you can, and if you actually feel comfortable in it while do so then all the better!

I always feel like I'm chocking whenever I have to wear a tie. Guess it's because I'm claustrophobic.

However, I was planning on the same outfit today: leather pants, nice blouse, and 3-inch heels. I just hope we don't end up at the same restaurant.

Kidding.
