Gap Check
Living as we do in San Francisco, home of Gap, Inc., we youngish urban types end up wearing lots of clothing from what we often refer to as the Holy Trinity. Recovering Catholics, cross yourselves while you say this:
"Banana Republic..." (In the Name of the Father...)
"...The Gap..." (...and of the Son...)
"...and Old Navy." (...and of the Holy Spirit.)
"Amen." (Amen.)
Sure we'd all love to be fashion forward and buy unique clothing from local designers, but let's face it, people: $70 is too much for a t-shirt. $7 is more my speed. It's all about bang for your buck. Thrift stores are great, but even they are expensive.
So we shop at the sale racks at the Holy Trinity. Because of this, we started the "Gap Check" tradition. Every day, someone will call "Gap Check!" and we all have to itemize what clothing, if any, we are wearing from Gap, Old Navy, or Banana.
Today's Gap Check:
Rebecca - Old Navy socks and undershirt
Kyle - Gap belt
Emily - Gap T-shirt, undies and cardigan
Pretty sad. Often times one of us is clad head-to-toe in winners. There are no winners here today, though. None at all.
