Tammy's Bird Brain

I am entering the skinny jean realm. I thought they would be out within 3 months so I gave them no notice but they have fought hard and stuck around and I have found some that work with my “womanly thighs” and all my “junk”. I haven’t actually bought them yet but do plan to.

The really relieving thing about shopping for jeans was to see that flare and boot cut are still out there and kicking in the world so when I wear them I won’t feel like an out-of-date, stuck in her own time, mom. The only bad thing about my skinny jeans is that they are low-rise. When is this going to go out? The muffin top is not the most flattering look on a woman. The only person that can wear low-rise and get away with no muffin top is a size 00 which usually comes in an age 13 package. Well, lucky the blousey, over sized tops are in so we can all cover our muffin tops. I’m sure it is not a coincidence.

And seriously Anthropologie, just because it has some label that is supposed to be amazing it is just a knit tank top with a flower sewn on it and it doesn’t even have a hem! It should not have a price of $150 and to add insult to injury there was a red slash through it with $74.95 written next to it. This is not a good deal! Have some pride! Hey I love Anthropologie like the rest of you but come on a lot of the time they are a bit ridiculous in the pricing area for what you are actually buying. Their books and housewares are my favorite part. If I had a house decorated with all Anthropologie stuff I would never leave my house. To drink my OJ from a tiny, hand painted with pink flowers, goblet would make me feel girly and sophisticated and better than everyone else who drinks their OJ from a pathetic old, plain, clear cup from IKEA. But damn I am the second one. Love IKEA by the way. Where else can you get 1,000 bendy straws that you never use for $1 or a wonderful couch that you put in your office in hope that it will give you more job security?

I heard that people who actually can afford to shop places like Anthropologie don’t and that is the reason they can afford it. So the people who drop thousands of dollars there are in extreme debt and are just pretending so that the rest of the world will hopefully envy them. Wonder if that is true. Meanwhile, I am happy with lovely Target.

Love.
