trendy

while i'm showering i either receive revelation or think of really random things. today i thought of something random. when i was in grammar school my friends and i loved the show f.r.i.e.n.d.s. and we each took on the role of a character from the show. i was rachel. so whenever jennifer aniston did an interview or something, i would watch it. one evening she was on the tonight show and she was wearing the cutest pedal pushers i had ever seen...well, i had actually never seen pedal pushers at all before. i remember how i wanted some sooooo bad. i started searching everywhere for these pants. finally on the levi's website i found some. now, ten years ago, levi's barely had a running website, much less online shopping. so i called them by phone to ask how much their pedal pushers were. i never bought them from levi's anyway, but i may have found them at kohl's soon after.
i was so silly. i wanted to be the FIRST one at school to wear what we now more casually call capris. i was in such an urgency to find them because i wanted to be the first. the day i wore them to school, many people noticed them. i think i wore them when it was still a little cold out, so maybe that's why. i just got such a thrill from that. well, these days, i'm not a huge fan of following the trends. but i do like things before they become trends. i guess you could say, i don't like trends for the sake of being trendy. there's one style from j.crew though that i'll try very soon!
