Lately, I find myself in pursuit of trends and styles that initially horrify me. Maybe this isn't just a new thing???? My San Francisco shopping list was heavily inspired by jaw-droppers discovered in recent issues of Cargo. In my *limited* shopping time over spring break, I searched for a pair of pin-striped jeans... to no avail. I finally broke down and used Brad's laptop to buy a pair on ebay (Brad suggested ebay-France, but only after I had clicked BUY IT NOW). Jeans on ebay?! I know: a total gamble. But for $2 w/o shipping, I decided I could afford it. The verdict: I love them! They aren't phat (my biggest fear), and they hug my ass in a seemly fashion. The stripes appear to be part of the fabric's texture-- a nice hint of subtlety in what might be a revolting choice of styles. For better or for worse, the woven belt did not come with... Perfectly pleated pants are my next trick. I suspect they'll be harder than the jeans: I'm looking for a very boxy flat single pleated pant, like this pair by Miu Miu which, sadly, I can't afford just now...
