Slim Hips

So a weird thing is happening .... it seems the more debt I pay off, the further my jeans and skirts slip down my hips. It's not like I am living off of Ramen or anything, I've just curbed my fast food habits (even though I am eating Wendy's as I type). It's typically a good thing when your clothes fit looser, but in the past, I would have looked at it as a reason to purchase a new wardrobe. Obviously, I'm not going to do that, I've worked too hard the last two months making major leeway in my credit card balances. I must fess up though, while out running errands, I did stop at the mall and purchased two new pairs of jeans. Before I get flambasted, I got a really good deal - and it's one I've actually been "shopping around" for. And autumn is just around the corner - so technically jeans are a necessity. My favorite jeans store occasionally runs "Buy One Get One 50% Off" sales. I had a $5 off coupon that expires Sunday, but I've been waiting to use it until they were running a sale. Realizing I needed to do something about covering my shrinking hips, I decided to check for a sale today. And lucky me, today was the day! So I got two pair of jeans for 40 bucks total - tax and everything! Now really, can you beat $20 per pair!? I don't think so. So I actually don't feel guilty about my purchase. It feels good knowing that I waited to make this purchase and waited until I could get the best deal for something I needed! Who knows, I may become a savvy shopper just yet!
