Hubby and I cleaned out our basement today. Edit: Hubby and I started cleaning it out and he finished it, but who needs to know that I escaped upstairs to read books to G and hide from the boxes and spiders.
Anyway.
Last year I got a giftcard from the Gap for Christmas from my in-laws and with that free money I decided to buy some expensive jeans. Most of my jeans come from Bitten and are $15 at the most, so I bought some $60 jeans (on-trend with cute back pockets) that I would never splurge on with my own money. And I bought a supercute silver shirt. I got home and have worn that silver shirt quite a few times but have never worn those jeans because I lost them. Lost. Them. I went throught the bag of clothes that I've been thinking about giving to Goodwill (notice that I've had that bag of clothes since last December and it is now October), gone through the corners of my car's trunk, emptied my drawers. They haven't been anywhere.
Last night I was sitting on the couch, looking at the knees of my jeans, noticing how they're almost worn through and will soon have holes, and again I wanted the expensive jeans with the cute pockets to replace this pair of jeans with the cute pockets (Sassy Engineer, you know the jeans of which I speak). And again I was frustrated that I lost a really cute pair of jeans without ever taking off the tags.
So today, before I excused myself upstairs, I found a Gap bag WITH THE JEANS.
Good things come to those who clean.

Amen, sister!!!! You gotta love it when things like that happen. It ALMOST makes it worth all the work!
That is so funny - I actually pulled out said jeans last week while cleaning out my closet. I hadn't worn them in a while because they had gotten pushed to the bottom and it made me think of you! They are now back on top.
That rocks! It's like finding money in your winter coat!!
Yeah!!
They really do look absolutely fabulous on you!
