Have you ever been to Loehmann's?
Designer clothes, they tout, for discounted prices. Not having the resources for couture, it's a reasonable alternative to find something special.
Okay, a button is missing, it's slightly soiled, it's been tried on a zillion times. But I think, as I select something from the rack, maybe this is the exact thing I am looking for.
So, I'll have to sew the button back on, I'll get it cleaned, I'll take it in a bit, let it out a bit, it's a tad short, I'll wear flats.
It's just like on line dating.
This is what I'll keep in mind as I go through the pages and pages of profiles.
Think Loehmann's, I say to myself. Perhaps, you'll find the one that hasn't been too picked over, has only been on the rack for a minute, all it's buttons are tightly sewn and, maybe, this is the one timeless, elegant, comfortable companion piece that I have been searching for.
