Low quality jeans with benefits

A while ago I bought the perfect pair of jeans - dark colored, skin tight and quite inexpensive. I wore them once, I wore them twice, I wore them a hundred times...
I wish I could say that. I hadn't worn them enough when they decided to show their true value. The color faded and the pants simply got baggy. I was gaining weight [about 100 grams a month] and they kept getting looser.
When I decided that I wouldn't wear them anymore, I threw them in a corner of my closet and never looked back. Until...
recently when I suddenly wanted to wear some boyfriend jeans and couldn't find any, neither in stores nor in my closet. But then I remembered throwing those low-qual jeans in that corner and went straight to them.
Tried them on and amazingly discovered they made the perfect pair of boyfriend jeans. I was so relieved I hadn't thrown them away!

Then I thought: why not buy all my jeans from the store these came from, so that I'll have a constant supply of 2-in-1 jeans? No, I didn't. But I could have. I mean, the price was great!

I heart it!

My first post is on a website I've recently discovered and instantly loved. It's what they call a "bookmarking site":
It's that place where you store your visual inspiration without using up space on your disk. And it's much more comprehensive than a list of bookmarks saved in your browser's menu, which is how I used to "store" sites, images and blogs or blog posts that inspire me. It's very easy to organize these visual cues using tags. A general tag like "design" or "inspiration" won't be of much help, since many other thousands of images have those tags attached but if you compose your tags cleverly and originally you can benefit from an organization system known to you only.
While you can always browse through thousands of pages of inspiration and link those pictures you like on the site, you can always add to the wealth by adding new pictures you find online. And here's another upside: you add images to your inspiration board using a cute button you install on your browser's shortcut bar.
And that's just a part of it. Visit the site and you'll discover much more.
