A t-shirt, tank top, and 2 pairs of flip-flops...what $13.50 bought me tonight!
I vowed I was done with Old Navy...that I couldn't let it define my look for the summer, but it's just TOO tempting! The t-shirt and wifebeater were both $5 each (!?!?!?!?) as part of some super-duper sale, and the flops have been 2 for $5 since LAST summer. PLUS, I had a 10% coupon for taking part in some online survey. Next to being FREE, you really can't beat those prices. Incredible.
Then I headed to the Gap to finally use my 20% coupon...on a regularly-priced item. Now before I left the house today, I took inventory of my shorts. I had 7 pairs...6 super old, 1 brand new. I took note of the colors and that each was a solid. Thus, I went to the mall looking for tan or patterned shorts...which I don't have. Tan in that cargo kinda way. And that's exactly what I found. I'm tossing most, if not all, of my old shorts. God, this topic's pathetic. I'm just so excited to finally have new clothes to wear, along with the incredible deals I got on them. I've also settled on yet another pair of sneakers...this time for hiking/walking/the gym...a $40 Nike pair. YAY! It'll be the first time in about 7 years I've had more than one pair of sneakers. Can you fucking imagine? I can't either. I look back at my life over the past few years and i'm just speechless at how i've made it through on so many levels.
HOLY SHIT, I just remembered something incredible. I saw the exact pair of sneakers I got for Xmas in 1986...and threw out in 1999, I think...at the mall tonight! For sale as NEW!?! High top gray and black Nikes! What the fuck?! Let me say that again...1986!!! They're called "Terminator" something. Now they're "vintage" or "classics." TOO fucking funny. I'm livid, of course, that I threw them out. I couldn't get over it. I was fondling them repeatedly, feeling like someone got them from my trash. They're definitely the first hip pair of sneakers I ever had. Before them, I do believe I never had a name brand. Mom didn't believe in wasting money on making Gary's life at school easier. I finished my incredibly productive mall trip with a doubleshot something from Starbuck's. Yes, a rather satisfactory First Saturday of Summer!
