Talk about a fish out of water

So this weekend I took a bunch of old, holey jeans to the shopping mall and donated them. Cotton Incorporated is doing a promotion to take your jeans and recycle them into insulation for houses. What a great idea, right? Well, the nice ladies who accepted my ratty old jeans gave me a $10 gift card for a store of my choice. The choices I was given? Forever 21, American Eagle, Tilly's and 2 others I'd never heard of. Talk about feeling out of the loop! Well I panicked and opted for American Eagle since I knew there was one on Union Square. I went down there yesterday to avail myself of my discount and man did I feel like a fish out of water. I don't think anyone in there was over 16! Anyhoo, I did find this cute tank top, so the story ends well. I just hope I have the guts to wear it.

I have a girlfriend who swears by Forever21. She's 41. I don't mind browsing their web site, but I can't stand the overcrowded racks and sloppy look of the store.

As for you? Wear that tank proudly!

Thanks for the encouragement Franki. You're absolutely right. I'm going to pair it with some dark low slung jeans and black heels and work it!

And I agree about Forever 21, can't stand going into that chaos.
