OOTD: Rebecca Minkoff Helmut pants

Uninspired post title, yes. And again, I fool you with the "OOTD" title... I haven't actually "worn" this yet because of the debate between return/keep. But the following is how I would wear it, should I keep.

Which brings me to my question du jour: These pants: what do I do? Keep or return? (btw, this is the other item I scored from the Shopbop F+F sale). Here's a pro/con list:

PRO:
1. I don't own any other khakis (that fit).
2. They fit pretty well, I think!
3. They're trendy without being overboard.
4. I really like how they go with some of my items... a nice departure from the jean look.

CON:
1. I'm nervous that, because I'm not a "khaki" girl, I won't wear them enough.
2. The pocket is cute, but I'm nervous the paint-splatter print will clash with some things.
3. They're too expensive to sit on a hanger in my closet, unworn.
4. Will they go out of style? (my thought= no, but still a concern...)


Top: UO silk top
Scarf: skulls! yay! :) (from a Dallas boutique)
Belt: F21
Shoes: Chinese Laundry

And a quick shot of just the pants, for fit and detail's sake (p.s., if you can't tell, they sit low on the waist but have a slightly dropped crotch effect):
