Holey Haute Pants…

I went shopping for a pair of jeans yesterday,
and found three--until I discovered holes in them.
Moths in Marshall’s??
No, the jeans are supposed to have holes in them.
No holes in the price, though.
$48.00.

I remember throwing clothes away that
had holes in them. Years ago, some
companies were buying back your old jeans.
I thought that was odd, but mailed some in.

I walked over to Petites, and began looking.
A woman in the petite section thought I should
be shopping in the Misses section, since I don’t fit
the size category for Petites.

Taking two pairs of size 4 pants to the fitting room,
I slid into them. I’m tall but small framed and
can wear some petite sizes.

The clam digger khaki pair and Lee jeans fit
like a dream. I continued to look with a wide smile
on my face, since the lady was still peering at me.

I could use a new jeans skirt.
I found one skirt that looked vaguely familiar to me.
Same stitching and pockets…could it be?
Nah…

Ready To Wear?

Recently I saw a gal in her thirties
wearing jeans with carefully designed holes
and rips along the legs and just under the seat.
Her underwear was peeking through.
It looked as though she had tangled with a bull.

I can’t believe that a person would buy
“damaged” clothing--on purpose!
One pair of ripped jeans was $75 on a
department store sale rack.
They were badly faded and stringy.

A few years ago certain jean manufacturers
were buying back used jeans in any condition
for as much as $40 a pair.
I couldn't figure that one out.

In California I had enough problems
with moths eating holes in some of our shirts.
Too bad holey clothes weren’t a fashion trend
at the time.

Tom has a favorite shirt that he wears
almost constantly.
There’s a large hole near the label.
It's heart-shaped.
Maybe it’ll catch on.
He hates to go shopping…
