Jeans and tennis shoes. These are two parts of my wardrobe that I purchase the least. I never wear tennis shoes to work, so its hard for me to justify a purchase of something, that I would only wear two days out of the week if that. I have two pairs of tennis shoes that I bought last summer, and they will hold me down until next summer and maybe beyond. I have 3 pairs of jeans that I wash and alternate, and you would never know it the way I sport them(I should win an ESPY). I know plenty of dudes who have 10-20 pairs of jeans and the same amount of tennis shoes, and god bless them. I would much rather focus on work clothes, since I wear them the most. And I am quite sure I could give equal time to both, but that simply takes too much effort. So why do I mention this?

My girl bought me these fresh and fancy jeans for my birthday, and today is the first day that I am wearing them. Jeans, much like underwear and dress shoes, take a little while to break in, so I figured I would get right on that today. When I initially put them on, they felt a bit snug, so I made the executive decision not to wear a belt. While I was walking through the apartment, they still felt snug, so my decision to go sans belt seemed like a wise one. I walked out of the apartment, and towards the subway, and my pants still felt golden. But when I left the subway and started walking towards my job, I had a little sag action going on, and I kept having to pull up my pants. So now I look like a full-fledged 21 year old(aka my intern), and I am not a happy camper. You may say, Rashad, why don't you just go buy another belt. And then I would tell you that I forgot to add something else to my two item no purchase list I mentioned above.
