why i love the internet #329

last week i went to this huge charity day sale at a local department store with a friend and fell in love with lucky brand jeans. i needed a different size, but couldnt find the style of jean that i was holding anywhere on the racks.

the sales lady was most unhelpful while she gabbed at length with a friend about how the job at said department store blows chunks and waved her hand in the vague direction of the racks and racks of denim.

having decided to get the incorrect size (too big! im the incredible shrinking woman!) after all, that decision was quickly revoked when i saw the register ring up $79. for the wrong size? i dont think so.

a quick search online revealed that not only were they boys jeans (hence my difficulty in finding them on the girls racks), but they could be found on sale at a few select stores at my choosing.

back to the department store to find the teeny section of lucky brand jeans in the mens section and determine that one size smaller would fit perfect in the BAM-her-ass-is-FINE way.

$79, you say? i found them online for half that, so no. thanks, but no.

that is why i love the internet.
