My upcoming trip to New Orleans has me shopping like a mad woman! So much so that on Saturday I found it necessary to take some time to do a little closet inventory to access what I have and what I REALLY need. Because at the end of the day... it's a 3 day trip people. How many pairs of sandles and capris do I really need?
So there I was, standing in front of my closet piecing together outfits. And low and behold I run across my SKINNY JEANS. Jesus.... I said Sweet Jesus! How I love these jeans; nice, dark- washed, bootcut with just the right amount of stretch. You'd have to kill me before you could tell me I didn't look good in them. I haven't had them on my body in at least 3 years...What the Hell!
It's going to take miles and miles of walking, several thousand crunches, some butter, 4 prayer warriors and team of professional movers but I promise you those jeans are making their way to New Orleans. After further accessment I realized I have several items in my closet with tags still attached. Clothes I've purchased a couple sizes too small to use as diet incentives. All clothes that should be traveling to New Orleans in July. That is, If I get my mind right and drop a few pounds.
I pulled my Skinny Jeans out this morning and hugged them close and whispered "I'll see you in the French Quarters". I threw them over my closet door so I could look at them everyday and remember how good I felt when I had them on and how wonderful I'm going to look when I wear them again in New Orleans.
