People Are Wearing Perfetto Pants!

There was a time in my middle school years where anyone who was anyone (especially the ladies) wore Perfett pants.  They were so comfortable – soft, cotton, loose-fitting pants with a double stripe down the ouside leg made for a stylish, yet comfy outfit.  Everyone had either black with white stripes or navy with white stripes.  I opted for the heather gray pant with black stripes.  I wish I had a picture of my personal pair to show you, but I must have given these pants away years ago.  Here’s a nice pic from their site:

However, one woman has not given her Perfetto pants away, in fact, she continues to wear them out and about the city!  As I was walking to work a few days ago, I spotted a young woman walking in her black Perfetto pants with no stripes.  For some reason, I recognized the horizontal label on the front pocket from afar and knew immediately that she was wearing Perfettos.  I really got excited!  I haven’t seen anyone wearing Perfettos recently at all, until this one woman.  Granted they didn’t have the signature double stripe down the side, still, the front pocket design and label definitely branded them as Perfettos. 

I visited their website and realized that their business is still going strong.  There were pants/tops/jackets for men and women, in all colors and styles.

T-Shirts Come and T-Shirts Go

Ever open your closet of one of your drawers and think “I have no clothes!!”  As soon as the weather started to warm up here in New York, I started to do a little spring cleaning of my own.  I realized that I have amassed tons and tons of t-shirts from all areas of my life.  T-shirts from high school sports teams, vacations, college events, sorority programs – even my work kickball team uniform (which I plan on wearing tonight at the second game of our season).  Some were chucked and some were donated.  The t-shirts I simply couldn’t part with were refolded and placed back in my drawers.  Those made me the most nostalgic.  Camp t-shirts from the ’90s that I will never give away because I still wear them.  I can’t help it!  Even if I never wear them, like a long sleeved t-shirt I bought at a friend’s high school “Fall Fair.”  It’s not even from my high school, but I’ll never give it away, because it makes me think of my friend. 

Cleaning out my t-shirt drawer was like watching my life flash before my eyes.  Knowing I had to give some t-shirts up was bittersweet, because while those memories are now a little more faded in my mind, I know that I’m making room for more sweet memories to come.
