My obtaining new pants is an event because under my non-self care regiment I haven’t for years. I’ve gotten a few new T-shirts and recently Tia found funny ones at SAVERS [one of which I copied to this design long after this entry]. And I’m going to buy this one (in red).
Hard to find any pants I loved (take that out of context); finally I liked a pair of NAUTICA brand [which have since shredded and I can no longer find the brand anywhere].
My ruminations in the searching, as reported to my helpless family April 12th:
Very few are simply light or dark basic blue, and everything “upscale” is manufacturer-ripped and worn. Why buy something “used” but not?
The real sell of manufacturer “used” pants is that wearing it says “I could buy something worn at the thrift store, but that’s low class used. These guys paid some sweat shop workers dirt money to shred these. Man, I wish I could be as awfully exotic and used as that. So I bought into the high-class users of the used. And I gotta admit, I let them use me too, ’cause I could buy the same thing at a thrift store for way less. I’m high-class and guilty. .. You wanna use me, too?
I also first falsely reported that I bought the pants at LANE BRYANT’S, an exclusively women’s store, and PLUS SIZES store. Very nice. You know, in case I get pregnant.
I got them at MEIER AND FRANK at the University Mall, Orem.
