I found myself a little disappointed this week. I am member of one of those sample sale websites that sends me email notifications each day pertaining to 24 hour sales on certain designer duds. As I think I've mentioned before, these members-only sales are very competitive and getting the actual mechandise you desire can be quite tricky-- especially if you have job where you can't be cruising for internet specials.
Anyway... I managed to snag a lovely pair of AG jeans for the bargain price of $80 bucks one day during Spring Break. Don't tell The Hubster-- I told him I got them for $60. But regardless, I was excited because I could always use another pair of jeans.
So they arrived this week and immediately I was disappointed. They had this rhinestone tag patch on the waistband which kind of reminded me of the 'grandma'
But then I thought, hey! your untucked shirts will cover that tacky-- cheap looking patch. So I decided that I'd at least try them out.
So I pulled off my shorts and put on the pants. Not only were they at least a foot too long for me, they were ultra-low cut and barely covered my underwear! So now I had this pair of jeans, that I can't wear out in public (I did the bend-over test, and it was all butt-crack and gross with my underwear peaking out of the sides and my gut was all out over the front, which was gross)... that I was all excited about getting and wearing to work on Friday. It was a definite 10-22 moment. (For those of you not down with the CB reference-- 10-22 means "call it off")
Today they went to the UPS store for a return and store credit.
Next time, I need to spend some more time looking at description of an item before committing to purchase even if there is massive pressure for the item.
You live you learn.
