So it's been about 20 days and I'm going strong. Honestly, I've hardly noticed that I've given anything up. Well, that is...unless you count my...jeggings panic....
Jeggings: jeans + leggings; leggings that look like denim.
Jeggings panic: sudden, uncontrollable fear that my current two pairs of jeggings will need to be replaced in 2011.
It's true, I've succumbed to the jegging trend. I can't help it...they are just so comfortable! I decided to buy a pair a few months ago and see what the big deal was, and now...I can't even remember the last time I wore regular jeans. See, the secret is...you can just pretend they are real pants (even though they are not!) and wear them with almost anything, well almost anything that covers a good bit below the waist. But I'm even loosening up on that rule of mine because I'm so addicted! When I woke up this morning from a dream that was closer to a nightmare in which I cut the legs off one of my pairs of jeggings (true story!), I knew it was time to recenter.
Panic over a stretchy pair of pants? Where is my head? More importantly...where are all our heads? I know this kind of panic isn't exclusive to me, in fact I'm pretty sure it's probably near epidemic status across America. Ah! I don't have a pair of boots that matches this outfit!! What?! That party is cocktail? I need a new dress! We sift through a closet full of clothes and still come out saying, "I have nothing to wear!" Believe me, I've done it plenty of times! How does this happen? Not just in that moment, but how have our lives gotten to the point that a full closet of clothes isn't enough? How do we get to that point where our priorities revolve around things that are so far beyond necessary for living a happy life it's ridiculous? I'm serious...how? Help me out here, because I can sit here and analyze this all day, but I'd rather hear from other people. There's a comment box for a reason you know :)
