Or in basic Trini: "Good t'ing no cheap, cheap t'ing no good".
I was reminded of this recently when Lucas showed me his language homework, "Mama wears a swetter every day." Aside from him telling his class that his Mama is perpetually cold, it would have been even more accurate to say, "Mama wears the same swetter every day". (Thank goodness he's a boy and doesn't notice these things.) You see it's because I got this really cheap sweater that I like, it keeps me very warm and because it was so cheap I don't care when Liam spills substances which will remain unnamed on it (or in my case, I spill drops of bleach).
Hence, ironically, I save my most expensive stuff to wear infrequently (and then it goes out of style, it can't fit anymore or my tastes change), but by golly those cheap things in my closet - boy do they get a workout! As it turns out, cheap is good in this context.
So in conclusion, I will continue to wear my $12 jeans as fast as I can wash it and I brace myself for my husband's expression when he reads this post, "This is what women think about? Good grief!!"
