I just came back from a really long walk, from Allston to Cambridge and beyond. There is this really awesome shop, vintage clothing, really spectacular stuff and I went in and found these pair of jeans, size 10. I absolutely loved them and took them from the rack and headed to the cashier. She looked at them and she looked at me and asked:
- "What are you planning to do with them?"
I found the question puzzling.
- "Wear them" I replied.
- "Well", she says," these are a vintage size 10, I don't think they'll fit you".
I felt a mix of indignation with rage, but I behaved and answered politely:
-"If worse comes to worse, I'll turn them into a skirt."
Which is what I usually do with pretty clothing: cut a piece of it and turn it into a fat ladies' tent. So, I came back home and I tried them and the zipper goes all the way up. Tight, but it does. So, HELP ME.
I'm asking everybody. I am not going to turn these jeans into a skirt. I'm going to stick to my plan, shed five pounds, wear the jeans and walk into the shop wearing them!
