Love in a Dressing Room

I had an unexpectedly GREAT morning.

My dad contacted a junkyard in the my area and was able to find me a rim that will soon be a spare tire for my car. (Please, no follow up questions. I don't speak cartalk.) I was expecting to wait for hours in this shop because they said that the rim was still on the car. I got there, and luckily it wasn't. I was in and out in fifteen minutes. Amazing. And a good thing too, because I really stuck out like a sore thumb! (I think it was when I pulled my pink checks out of my flowered day planner that it finally hit me that the men were amused by my girlishness.)

So this left me in the city with a lot of unexpected time on my hands. I decided to run into the mall because I've been getting emails about 30% off from Gap/Banana/Old Navy for cardmembers. I went into Banana and grabbed a few pairs of jeans to try on. I didn't want to take them off! They were just wonderful! They fit perfectly, were extremely soft and comfortable, and seriously great finds. One pair were a simple, classic bootcut style. The other were more surprising to me. I wasn't sure I was going to like them when I brougth them into the dressing room. They were a straight leg, but not a matchstick or super tight fit. They're especially perfect to wear underneath boots. I fell in love. I didn't want to take them off. I would have rather the woman at the register scan them while I was wearing them.

I have now found the two pairs of jeans that I will be living in this fall/winter. Oh -and another bonus? Both pairs, which retailed at $78 and $88 (I think) came in at $70 total! So wonderful. I generally say that Banana is a bit old for me, but I think I need to stop dismissing it for that reason. This isn't the first time that I have come out of there completely blown away by a find of mine.
