Denim Dilemma

June 9, 2008

My favorite jeans are a pair of Earnest Sewn that I found at TJ Maxx over a year ago.  So it was much to my dismay when I heard a ripping sound as I bent over to put on my socks this weekend.  There is now a rip across the butt.  If it had been any other location, I might have been able to pass the rip off as the ‘distressed’ look.

Of course I knew I wouldn’t be able to find another pair at TJ Maxx but I checked anyway with no luck.  Then I went online.  I found a pair on Bluefly.com for $99 (plus s/h).  Ugh.  I only paid ~$65 for the jeans the first time around.  I’m always looking for reasonably priced jeans that actually fit and those fit (no pun intended) the bill.  So do I suck it up and live without my fave jeans or do I begrudgingly buy a new pair for $100+?  What a dilemma.
