Uh-oh, one of my two pair of pants died!

Ok- is there some sort of cosmic-curse that strikes when you set a goal and make a pledge 'not to do 'x'?

All of a sudden 'x' becomes harder and harder to stick to--and mysteriously becomes more of a challenge than ever before??

Well, my 'x' was to not buy anymore clothes for the rest of the year.

Why would I need to? I had 2 pair of jeans, a pair of athletic pants and several tops and sweatshirts that were in pretty good condition...

I did notice that my fav pair of jeans were wearing in the (cr*tch)...but did not stress over much...until yesterday, when I sat to put my tennis shoes on and those pants split- you know where-....I have NEVER had a pair of pants do this...but low and behold..

sigh* so I debate...do I look for a new pair for our girls trip? or do I stick to 'x' and make do with what I have? Right now Im leaning towards 'x', but we shall see if I can do it.

    Do you have a sewing machine? Are they fixable? I mean as a temporary gap measure to get you thru to January 1??

    Hang tuff!!

    Well, wasn't your pledge really about making do with your two pairs of jeans and not adding more to the stable? I would think you could replace a vital piece of clothing without violating your pledge.

    I know the feeling. I am down to the last pair of shorts I like, and QVC does not carry them anymore. It is getting colder, so i think I can make do until next spring. Hope you can too!

    LuxLiving, a conscious pun? You do that a lot.

    Buy replacement jeans. Carolina Bound is correct in saying that this is not an addition to your wardrobe. It's maintaining the status quo.

    Forgive me for hijacking your comments, but would you please check your private messages? I tried emailing you, but the forum software wouldn't let me. It's regarding our train and a new member (lrjohnson is joining us!). Thanks!
