Yes, I’m checking myself out in my new pants.
Ok, you should all be answering “phat” for that question because these new charcoal grey wide-leg trousers have become my favorite pair of dress pants to sport to work.
Now, I know you are probably wondering; where did I get them? I went to a new store in Waupun, WI. I have visited it many times, but this was the first time I walked out with a bundle—literally—a ginormous Kohl’s shopping bag full. Did I give into my clothing temptation? No, I gave into Stefanie, my best friend, or I guess, I should really say, she gave into me. Probably because of my constant use of the word “suck”: “Not buying any clothes sucks.” “Why do all the new spring clothes have to be so cute; this sucks.” “You suck.” (You being every single woman I walk buy that has on a pair of not-even-scuffed-yet new shoes.) Did I mention that this New Year’s resolution sucks?
For almost an hour, I tried on shirt after shirt, pant after pant, and dress after dress from Stefanie’s give-away pile to Goodwill. No way were her cute clothes going to someone who really needed it! I needed it.
Some of my favorite picks were my new pants of course, a red Puma track jacket (This is Stef’s favorite too.), a Brewers jersey (I’m ready for some serious tailgating this summer now.), and underwear (Yes, you read that last part right—underwear. Now, don’t get all grossed out. They were brand new and cute to boot.)
What do you think?
Every time I pull something new from the bag and wear it, Jon gets all excited; he thinks I gave in and purchased something, so I would lose the bet and have to jump into freezing cold water for the Polar Plunge, but of course, I have way more will power and way more friends to share clothing with that he doesn’t even know of. He better start preparing for that cliff dive because this is one clothing bet he will lose.
