The summer of the $2.50 wardrobe

Ok, so "wardrobe" is pushing it. I've bought all of THREE things this summer that you'd wear...and all 3 have cost me $2.50 each. I forget if i've waxed euphoric over my late May Old Navy purchase of 2 pairs of flip-flops (one in gray, one in black after LITERALLY about a half hour of me staring at the wall of colored flops, picturing how each color would look on me and wanting maximum mix-and-match appeal) for $5. Two months later, there's not a defect to be found in them, and I wear them daily. JOY! I WOULD like a brown pair, though, and also a "slide" flop of some sort. Anyway, so that's all I bought until this past Sunday. Lazily browsing the K-Mart circular over my morning tea, I spied $3 sweatshorts! EXACTLY what I'd been looking for! Imagine my joy when I got to the store and saw they ALSO had POCKETS! I can't STAND not having pockets, and my THREE other "gym shorts" didn't have any....name brand shorts, i'll add. Now i'm very particular (have you picked up on that?)...I wanted GRAY and I need a MEDIUM. Ding, ding...they had it! It was the ONLY gray medium left. I was practically sobbing with glee as I rushed to the check-out counter. But it got better yet...they were 50 cents cheaper than advertised! They're $6 regularly, if you're wondering. And I've had them on daily since Monday...worked out in them tonight when "Operation Free Bally's Pass, Part Three" began. They're comfy, they're flattering, they have pockets, they're $2.50!! AND they match my flops! See, it really doesn't take much to make me VERY happy.
