Just So Much Stuff: Denim Edition

America, if you need new jeans, I beg of you... please go to your neighborhood thrift store first. America loves jeans, and America imports our jeans from many places that are not America. They are everywhere.

After I dropped off my mega-load of unused toys this morning, I took a walk through Thrifttown, just for fun. What stuck out for me today were the jeans.

These are "Better Jeans". "Better" means more expensive. Sometimes the "better" clothes still have their tags on them. The folks who do the pricing at Thrifttown are good at what they do. The "better" clothes are usually worth the extra few bucks.

Denim shorts for kids. A whole lot of shorts.

Men's jeans... surprisingly, the smallest collection in the store.

Regular women's jeans, not "better." There are mom jeans in this collection, jeans with elastic waists, jeans that will cause a butt of any size to look gigantic. But mixed in with the mom jeans you will find Ralph Lauren jeans, Lucky jeans, Perfectly Acceptable Old Navy jeans.

I took many more pictures of jeans but really, how many do you need? There are Capri jeans which should really be filed in with the mom jeans.

The Abundant Jean situation is so serious that it might need its own non-profit organization to raise awareness in the jeans-wearing community (which is everyone, right?).

Just Say No To New Jeans, people.
