I live within walking distance of TWO Nordstrom Racks. Two. For those who don't share my good fortune, those are the stores where everything that didn't sell at Nordstrom goes to be flogged off at discount prices. While the store is mostly filled with dreck, there are almost always a few unspotted (but soiled) gems lurking around - especially if you're a fan of the kind of clothes that look sort of "meh" on the hanger.
So recently, I wandered into one of the stores and spotted a couple of grey Eileen Fisher tank tops, in her signature fabric that drapes beautifully, wears like iron, and flatters everybody! And my first thought:
"I could use that!"
Sigh... The world is full of things that could be useful. I don't need them, and the odds are pretty high that most of them would hang unused in my closet. I already HAVE a couple of grey tanks - one modal and one linen - and that really is sufficient for me.
I could make the case that I should grab them so that I have them when my current two wear out, but that assumes that I'm still going to want to be wearing tops like that in three or four years. Brave assumption...
I walked away. But it was difficult. And I'm still pondering the peculiar attraction of the useful...
