… is what you do when you’re trying to force your butt into some of these jeans. And then when you finally squeeze in, you realize they just kinda look fugly anyways. So you toss them onto the ground and grab the next one from the rack …

A friend and I hit a sample sale this morning. She drove up to my apartment very hung over but still able to make it to Starbucks with a screaming headache. When we got to the line we found out everyone else pretty much had the same idea, clutching their Starbucks coffee cups and bags of breakfast items. What’s funny is that 90% of the people in line were Asian Americans. As my friend put it: Asians love a good sale. $250 for 5 pairs of jeans? Oh heck yes.

We get in there and it was already turning into a steaming mass of bodies flicking through racks of jeans. I thought it was women’s jeans only but actually it turned out to be both mens and womens styles. Yay. However, despite advertising big name brands the majority of things on the racks were brands I hadn’t heard of. (Not that I pay that much attention to fashion but I do recognize brands and styles when walking through Nordies.) Still, a good pair of jeans is a good pair of jeans.

The changing room was a madhouse. Fortunately we got there super early and were like the 30th in line or so. My first trip into the changing room was with only 4 pairs of jeans and that was pretty quick in and out. The second trip took forever to get in. I was just going to do try-ons right there between the racks on the main floor but there were attendants who said you couldn’t and forced us all into the mass changing room. There weren’t enough mirrors in there. And while there was enough rack space it was still tight. Ugh. My second trip in had 8 items, the third also 8. There was a girl in front who had like 30 items. That must have been brutally heavy.

So in the end I walked away with a pair of ass-hugging skinny-ish jeans (only a slight flare at the end), some comfy Hudsons, and slightly looser embroidered-butt pair of light denim. Oh and a top with ruched sides. I didn’t recognize a lot of the brands but I mean, who knows, maybe they were name brands. Tons of J & Company–that’s what I remember–which appear to be going for $150+ on their website. I guess I was hoping for some presence of Paige, CoH, 7s, or some other brands. Not that I’m all about labels, but I like some of those styles.

Oh well, still I think I got decent deals. Now it’s off to get them altered!
