The Tragedy of my Favorite Pants

I don't normally lose things...but when I do, I lose them with vehemence.

 

This is not a fashion post, but I bet you can guess what all of these pictures have in common. It's kind of obvious.

My bright green jeans.

 

I love them. They are one of my favorite colors. They fit me perfectly (and you girls know how rare a pair of pants that actually fits well is!). And....I got them on clearance for $10.  They are my "neutral" jeans. As you can see, I wear them with everything.

 

And they are lost. I started noticing that I couldn't find them about a month ago. I was quickly trying to get dressed for something, and my ideal outfit required my green jeans. But they weren't to be found in my jean pile, so I replaced them with my purple jeans, thinking nothing of the incident. They were probably in the wash or something. 

 

But I did the laundry, and they still didn't show up. A few more weeks went by, and I found a few more opportunities to wear them, but I still wasn't sure where they were. I knew I hadn't packed them to take them on a trip anywhere, so I was certain they must be somewhere in the house. Spring cleaning time came, and I went through all of the clothes in my closet and dresser. No green jeans. I went through all of Angel's clothes--you know, sometimes something of mine gets stuck in his side of the closet and isn't heard of for months. No green jeans. I looked under the bed, and behind the dresser. I even checked the refridgerator.

 

I learned as a young child to always check the refridgerator when something is lost. Either that or the toybox. We don't have a toybox, and there were no jeans in the refridgerator. I don't know where else to look.

Lately, I've been eyeing other women wearing bright green jeans with a bit of jealousy. It's not that I want their jeans--I just want my own back! At the Levi's Outlet store, I hugged a denim jacket made in precisely the same shade of green as my jeans, and dreamed of wearing the jacket at the same time as my jeans. But Angel thought it was a bad idea and didn't let me buy the jacket in my moment of despair. It was an awesome jacket.

I'm trying to keep some hope. Green jeans, if you're out there, somewhere, reading this, I beg of you, come home! If this was an experiment to see whether I would notice your absence, rest assured, I noticed, and I miss you dearly. If you have any information as to the whereabouts of my green jeans, please email me--any and all help is appreciated during this time of crisis.

 

Anyone have any suggestions about where I should look? I will keep you updated if and when I find them again!
