Do I need a pair of jeans? No, not exactly. Do I badly want a pair of T.R? Naturally. So, as I showed them off to Jeff, I racked my brain to see where in our "guidelines" of this spending fast I could get away with spending just shy of a hundred on a fashion entity...not necessity. The only solution I could muster involved finding out if Nordstrom's Rack had a Layaway program, and if me, my spendy-self, and I, could wait 6 weeks to pay them off with my "don't ask don't tell" money. (Because this past Friday was payday, I'm up to a whopping $38.87.)
I ended up handing the jeans to the fitting room lady and walking out the store empty handed, and needless to say, I didn't even bother finding out about the Layaway program.
This is seriously one challenge that is just that: challenging! I don't know what would be easier: a) continue this spending fast? or b) get an additional part-time job?

I could buy them, wear them for 4 months, and then you could buy them from me once your spending fast is over! Oh, wait. YOU'RE TINY THIGHS ARE... TINY! I'll try to come up with a better solution. I'm proud of you... you don't need another pair of jeans! I think you'll be back to your old frugal self in no-time :)
I don't know how you resisted...really I don't. But I'm going to say more power to you!!
Oh here is the jeans. I read your other post first. Ummm, well I could buy them and wear them... and then you could buy them from me. The only problem is that I would have stretched them out too much for you. What are you a 24?? Good job on your spending fast but maybe staying out of the mall (temptation island-yikes!) would help?
