No, I’m not talking about Ms. Adichie’s short story collection {although I do recommend it if you’re interested in the immigrant experience, especially if you’re not an immigrant, or Nigeria, or just good writing}. I’m talking about the thing around my neck, this whimsical necklace made of marbles. Anthropologie sells them in pairs but I thought the more marbles, the more playful. So I heaped on four. They are not diamonds but they do catch the light in a pretty way.
In other news, I’ve just discovered Levi’s. Obviously I don’t mean this in the revisionist Christopher Columbus style or “It really began to have significance when I found it.” They have been around since the 1870s. But, I never bought a pair until this week. I almost went arthritic measuring myself following their directions, which called for bending until you find your natural waist. It was not immediately clear to me which way I should bend to find my “seat measurement.” FYI: Just measure the circumference of the widest part of your hip. However, the pants are worth it. They fit just as promised.
A lifetime practice of frugality makes me apt to wear all my clothes to shreds so I am happy to hear that Levi denims are in the seat (pun intended) for the long haul.
