500 times and once more, scarlet whore
Apr. 2nd, 2007 07:33 pmWell, I always wondered how long it would take me to spend $100+ on a pair of jeans, and the answer apparently was "until yesterday". I went to a boutiquey little jeans place with my friend Chia and consumer-whored it up... or perhaps I spent a little on a pair of capris and a lot on finding out what premium brands actually fit me (Citizens of Humanity, Denim for Immortality, GoldSign) and what my size is in those brands (28). It was kind of1 the way I'd approach something like skydiving or an especially interesting drug: try it once on the assumption that once won't kill me, and let the reaction settle. I won't really know what I think of the whole deal until sometime late this summer. Kind of depends whether premium jeans are really better.
For a follow-up act I bought some yoga stuff at CitySports that fits me like a nest of hungry boa constrictors (must... return...). And lots of socks at the Gap. Soooooocks! I've maintained balance though: between going to Goodwill on Saturday and throwing out some summer stuff that Nala ate holes in, I got rid of as many items of clothing as I got. Though it's kind of formal, I find this practice really useful for keeping myself from holding onto ratty stuff.
