Why is it when I have money to shop I can’t find anything I want or need?  When I don’t have a dime to spare I see a whole lot of things I’d like to take home with me.

I went to spend a gift card I got from a friend at Charlotee Russe.  I really need jeans.  I wear jeans constantly and since I’ve put on the weight I lost almost 3 years ago I don’t fit into all of my jeans anymore.  Of course I was also motivated by this episode recently at the bus stop when I realized I wore a hole right through my jeans at the exact spot where my inner thighs touch and since the bus was pulling up I didn’t have time to go home to change.  So not cool.   Yet, I laughed and got my son off the bus like there was no hole there at all.  I really don’t understand how that happened either.  It’s not like I’m the road runner and my legs are going back and forth so fast it would warrant burning a hole right through my jeans.  I couldn’t even make myself feel better by salvaging them and cutting the jeans into shorts because the hole was so damn high up.  If I would have tried, my ass cheeks would have been hanging out of the bottom. 

So here I was on my quest for jeans.  Normally I find all kinds of stuff there.  Not this time.  The jeans all had either a patch of some sort, they purposely had patterns in the shape of a triangle worn out in some spots or they were ”skinny” jeans. <— I really want to beat the person that designed those.  They should be called stick figured jeans or twiggy jeans.  I know that’s my jealousy talking because best believe if I was skinny enough to wear a garment of clothing that actually described me as skinny or slender in ANY way, I would be wearing it. 

Anyhow, I couldn’t find a plain pair of jeans in the place and the ones that were plane weren’t the wash I was looking for.  The plain ones were darker ones that I would wear with dressier shirts.  I was looking for more casual ones.

I figured, ok I’ll buy a couple shirts then.  They had a sale going on called the $6.99 “green dot” special on shirts.  I found 5 shirts.  Not a single one of them looked good on me.  I wound up buying a pair of much needed sunglasses that were only $5.99.  I can’t buy expensive glasses.  Any sunglasses I own are pretty much gauranteed to be broken or lost.  It’s inevitable.  It’s a curse.  These glasses I found were Divalicious glasses.  They were big but shaped nicely.  Funny how accessories can change the look of a person and funny how they can make you feel about yourself.  About 5 minutes before I found them I was sadly handing the shirts I tried on back to the girl in the dressing room.  Five minutes later, I was boldly admiring myself in the mirror, sucking my cheeks in and all.  No…really…I was.
