I went jeans shopping with a couple of friends yesterday (apparently, there is such a thing as jeans shopping).
background:
for me, jeans are jeans, I wear then and not care much about what they look like apart from the color.
So it turns out that the jeans I wear on a regular basis lack style, actually, quoting my friend here "your jeans don't even have a style"
We go to Guess showroom and she picks out 3 jeans for me to try on. Apart from jeans looking 'different' (that's the only word I can think off to describe them), I didn't really see how they were any better then my currently owned jeans.
So I tried one on and showed it to my friends, both remarked that I looked much better, one oohed & ahhed; I still couldn't really figure out what the big deal was, but was told that since I wear crappy jeans, I wouldn't really know what good jeans are.
I looked at the price and said "are you kidding me... these jeans are $98", my friend replied "at least they are not $120, which I thought they would be" (mind boggling response, considering I've never spent more than $30-$40)
In the end of that day, I saw the subtle difference between jeans. Didn't buy them then, sometime in the near future.
So the next day, i.e. today, I was having lunch w/ friends (diff from the jeans group) and told them about my jeans episode. When we were standing in line, I started NOTICING other people's jeans, I groaned!! and said to my friends... "wtf, I'm looking at other people's jeans... no more talking about jeans"
aargh... hopefully, this is a temporary condition...
