As I've established buying pants is quite a chore. Jeans are a special kind of hell. I bought the greatest pair of Citizens of Humanity wide leg jeans years and years ago after an exhaustive search. They now have a giant hole in the knee and are deteriorating quickly. I can't let them go. I love them I love them I love them. I'm thinking of a patch for the knee or some kind of decorative reinforcement. I bought them at full price when I had no money but they were the greatest investment and had a very high "happiness" return. Am I keeping them alive for me? I don't want to be selfish. Even if I were ready to put them out of their misery, there is a slight problem: I still have no money and even worse, I can't find them any longer.I'm not ready.
I'm not ready for another search. I know I'll never find jeans as fabulous. Nothing will ever measure up. I think even if I did find the same style they wouldn't be the same. Well obviously because they aren't the same. I know that.
I'm thinking of turning to ebay. This won't be easy because I'm not one for wearing a strangers clothes and the risk factor seems high. However, if they are really cheap, I might just do it. To fulfill a quest. I'm sure it will feel like a hollow victory.
It's a silly thing to mourn. But it really is like losing a friend that always had your backside (and tried to make it look good). It will be hard to trust again.
I'm just going to see how they do this week.
Totally try ebay. I've gotten many jeans on there WITH tags! Just make sure they say authentic. By the way, I think your jeans would feel worse if you threw them out rather than keeping them. Who wants to be thrown away?
