Denim Dilemma
June 9, 2008My 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.
Sometimes you have to bite the bullet and do what you have to do. If they are your favorite, and you can’t find them anywhere else, then get them…that’s good enough justification to me.

eBay’s an alternative…
