what to wear: weekend!

Ahhhh... the weekend is upon us once again! Hooray!

I have a work event to attend tonight with my husband.  For which, I am thinking of pulling out the red pants again (you know THE red pants)... but I'm troubled.  Are the red pants being pigeon holed as the "going out pants"? (and we all know the "going out pants" of yester-year.)

The only logical next question is this: red pants with black & white or red pants with bold pink (a la Kendi)!?!?

I'm fraught with indecision here... please do chime in!
