Well-Heeled posed the question before to her own readers, but I’m curious about my readers too!
So far, I say 2 languages for me:
English = Native tongue
French = Intermediate (I am not a beginner, and I am not advanced)
Next I’d like to learn Spanish…
I was hoping to head by the library on Monday to spend the day reading magazines…
…but I forgot that the universal law of libraries is that Mondays are bad days to go, as they are generally CLOSED.
So not wanting to waste a bus ticket, I half-heartedly started searching for the perfect pair of jeans before my SINGLE, 6+ years (and counting) pair of jeans bit the dust.
(You should see it. It’s like patchwork insanity on the thighs. My mom said: “This may be the last time I can fix them for you!!!“)
I think I heard a rip the last time I pulled them on.
I was thinking of Lee Jeans (eemusings says we have the same body type and Lee jeans fit her great), or Levi’s.
I am not on board with buying jeans for $150 – $300+ yet, premium denim or not.
But how to translate my wishes into an actual pair of jeans!? Woe is me.
Then… I thought: Heck, why don’t I try out Tommy Hilfiger? I bought the last pair there 6 years ago…
Then I spotted them on a rack.
Dark blue denim, so-called “premium denim” label on the back, slim cut, looks just about like the pair I had
Could.. it.. be?
What I like is that they’re a slim cut of jeans (not bootcut or flared), and are straight-legged rather than super skinny jeans.
Original Price: $85 CAD ($79 USD), marked down to $59.99 with another 50% discount on top, for a total of $33 CAD (or $31 USD) after 12.5% taxes!!!
After I did laundry today, I went for a quick swim (bo-ring!) and came back to take a shower…
Look what I found on my mirror after I stepped out out the steamy shower.
It was completely unexpected.
BF had taken a shower earlier this morning, and I didn’t know what the heck he was doing so long in the bathroom when he usually just dries himself off.
Now I do. 
Man, it sure pays not to clean the bathroom AND do laundry on the same day of the week.
It’s about due that I post where I have been submitting my articles to lately!
I also see that J. Crew has a sale on winter coats (around 30% off), which means I could pick up that ideal Lady Double Day Cloth coat with Thinsulate for $238 USD in either spiced wine or cobalt blue…
But I really loathe buying things online (especially at $238 USD a pop) when I haven’t tried them on in person to check the quality, actual colour and fit.
*sigh* I’m going to do some laundry and mull this one over.
