Useless Poll
Okay, here's the thing.
I'm a thrifty gal. I grew up in the one of the cheapest families known to man and while I don't think I've carried that tendency as far as some of my relatives, I know how to pinch a penny. I cut my dryer sheets in half because those fragrance free ones that Josh and Emma have to use are expensive and half works just as well as a full sheet. I don't waste and I look for sales and I almost never shop for myself. I usually wait until it's a necessity, like I've grown so fat I have no pants that will fit me or all my underwear is full of holes. We will not speculate on the reasons for that. *g*
However, I'm not stingy. I like to spend money on experiences--travel, food, drink, comfort (I run the AC higher than I should in the summer because I'm not sweating in my own house). I know that sometimes you just can't be cheap because whatever you're buying is worth the money.
But this? This crosses the line. I love my fashion mags, but I am continually flabbergasted at what many of the items featured cost. I get expensives dresses and coats and jewelry, but the 200$ T-shirt is a thing I will never understand. So, poll!

What's uncomfortable about them?
no subject
They're cut very weird...At first I thought it was just because they are low-rider jeans (Marisa has no waist or hips at all) but all the jeans Marisa gave me are low-rider and this was the only pair that was this bad. They cut is way too low, the thighs are oddly wide, they say petite but are very clearly not...all reasons apparently she kept putting off wearing them, btw...so one would have to wonder why she purchased them...

I don't want the ones that come up over your bellybutton either, mind, but I cannot stand the constant worry that my underwear is showing, or *gasp* the ass stretch marks that Emma gave me. *g*

But no, normally I can't stand low rise jeans either. But I get much less picky when I get them for free.
