♥ my first pair of skinnys
u know. i always thought it'd be the day i die that i would ever wear (let alone buy and own) a pair of skinnys.
in fact. i've always refused to try them on, simply because i have fat thighs and *shiver*.
so anyways, instead, i've been on the hunt for some straight leg jeans for my boots. i was beginning to get annoyed at the bulkiness of my usual jeans in them.
so i've been on that hunt for a while, but never really finding much of a bargain, and usually ending up with bootleg (a somewhat 'improvement' according to my boyfriend who deeply dislikes my flares), which still leaves that bulky bit in the boots.
so today i set out with the goal in mind again.. and with an hour to spare, made the yellow cat bus trek to harbor town. where i ended up visiting just jeans, which usually has pretty good bargains.
and i saw this table. with LOTS of jeans. for two for $30 and nearly died, bargains. they werent bad either! and i was fortunate enough to find lots of size 9s. and even one size 8.
and shockingly, the size 9 skinnys i got are actually a bit big at the waist, but i like it that way, because then its not as tight and skinny everywhere else! it seems more straight which was what i was looking for anyways.
the other pair i got was a bootleg in a size 8 (zmgsh?! i fit size 8 *faints*), because the only others were flare or bootleg, and i have plentyy of those already - plus my boyfriend would probably cut them up.. hehe. The other day i bought some lee's supaflares from live and when i was purchasing them in the back of my head i could just hear him groaning at the flare-ness.
anyways i love bargains. but it makes me think. these jeans i bought today, were originally $80 each. if i could get them for $15 each........ thats like....... more than 80% off!
and like my lee's! they were originally $153 and i got them for 20 bucks o__O... thats like.....more than 85% off. wow, live jipps like crazy hey... =/ and the cardi's i got from there were originally like $68 and i got it for $10...!
they must 1. make heaps of profit. and 2. jipp so many customers who pay full price.
note to self: avoid paying full price as much as possible, esp when there exists harbor town.
anyways. i heart bargains. going back to harbor town tomorrow with nathan, since i hardly got through the ground floor in just 40minutes. we're going to look for matching jumpers (because we already have matching superstars, trackies, shirts... and we plan on doing an identical clothing thing to uni one day just for fun xD)
and.. now i have three pairs of jeans that need altering (sigh! because i'm so short)
which will make the good bargains, a not AS good bargain as they were.
