Walking through Nordstrom's today, I overheard a dear mother talking with her son about a pair of jeans she spotted. With a sarcastic undertone and a bit of a giggle she says, "Son, these jeans are ridiculous. Notice how they expect you to pay more when there is less material. They've got holes in em,' son! People these days, I tell ya!" The son is eagerly agreeable with the same sarcastic undertone. Well, in the words of a QUiP, "Darn those holes :]"
^^This long time claim is long time overdue for a heated one sided debate, QUiP style, starring yours truly. I'll begin my bias debate with a question, "Why the heck is Nordstrom's still selling hole adorned blue jeans?" 2003 came, and honey, it went OUT with a bang! Obviously, there are exceptions, as I have put the majority of my trust in Nordstrom's. I'm sure those threads were absolutely fabulous. Either way, my focus here are on the principals of style...well, the cost of labor. We've got holes. Intentional holes. Those are the best kind :] These swiss style trousers were created with a little something we [i] here at Hair Tips and Girly Quips like to call, TiME. Oh, the sweet fruits of time. Friends, style is nuts. Some of us are born with it, some are not. The realist in me says, "Why are there holes in these pants? I will have cold patches on my legs. Also, they should not be more pricey." The stylist in me, AKA the angel on my right shoulder, buys them and asks the clerk if they have the same style in shorts. Bottom line, someone took the time to tatter those pants, induce those holes and ultimately they took the time to turn those average jeans into a pair of ROCKiN' threads. The moral of this "holey story" is as follows: Style remains ever-changing. We watch as ladies walk around with bug-like shades, skinny jeans that fit like pantyhose, and our men are now walking around wearing t-shirts that would be a perfect fit for my 2 year old nephew. All of which are HOT. Saying it out loud, writing it, blogging it, oozes silliness. That's the beauty of it, it's crazy and unpredictable. Have fun with style! It costs a bit extra but making a statement of any kind is FUN! Peace, love and holey jeans.
