Jeans Drama
I spent yesterday afternoon with my fabulous abundant friend shopping in a swanky LA neighborhood filled with Fabulous Cute Stores with designer clothes and designer (i.e., totally inflated) prices. My friend has no problem dropping $300 on one item, where as I am quite fond of Forever 21 and the sales rack anywhere. However, occasionally, I feel the need to make an expensive purchase just for sake of knowing that I can.
So, while she tried on dressed, I tried on a pair of $200 skinny jeans that shrunk my butt and extended my legs (it’s kind of magical how that works…). They felt great, but I still couldn’t quite justify the money. Plus, the sales girl was snooty and scowled at my suggestion that I roll up the pants leg (whatever).
After debating, I called my sister, the Queen of Used Clothes to ask her if she would still respect me if I bought a new pair of $200 jeans that, were I more savvy, I could probably find at a Crossroads somewhere for $30. She didn’t have a strong opinion so, left with my own responsibility for my spending, I put them on hold and my friend and I perused other stores. Or, rather, she perused the items in the store while I reiterated comments like, “What?! $80 for a tank top?!” However, one store we ended up at had a sales rack with jeans formerly priced at $200, but MARKED DOWN (two beautiful words) to $50 AND in my size…! My heart raced! A Shopping Miracle was about to be had! Well, as the 20 minute aerobic workout in the dressing room made clear, they were really only my size in theory. Getting them on was another story. It does, however, help people who experience icks.org order sildenafil hardness to maintain erections.

The kids get to travel viagra online online with me at 1/2 price, and when tickets are purchased well in advance, it is a great bargain. If it weren’t for my Power Yoga arms and my salsa lungs, the button and the hole would have never come together. Squeezed into two legs of Indigo denim, I walked out like the Tin Man, waiting for the seams to to explode right there in the swanky boutique.
“Perfect!” yelled my friend.
“You have to get them!” said the sales girl.
“But I can’t move.”
“It doesn’t matter. They’ll stretch!”
“Can you sit?”
I made an effort to bend my joints and managed to do something like sit down. I bought the jeans and took them home. The next day I spent another half hour putting them on and practicing doing simple things like walking a few feet. Like any new relationship, it’s going to be a gradual breaking in process…but with enough patience in time they’ll feel like home. So, $150 more would have made it instantaneous…where’s the fun in that?
Just for today, I can buy new jeans.
