OK, I go through all the trouble to cheat on this diet, all the angst and guilt, and I get the coat and the buttons fall off. Man. What is it with new clothes? These companies can’t do a decent job of sewing on buttons? Does this happen to other people? Maybe I am being punished for cheating. I got a Via Spiga faux shearling coat at Bluefly.com. It is made out of god knows what, but I do love the way it looks. Or at least I did before the buttons fell off. I have worn it maybe five times, so what is the story? OK, there is my rant. I have cheated on this diet three times. And my “no sugar” is not going so well, either. Ever since I got my braces off I cannot stop eating. Help me.

Oh no! I have the same problem with buttons. I’ve even taken to writing up a button-repair list so I can remember all of the items that need their buttons replaced.
It’s all on account of the cult of obsolescence:
“Make it cheap so it falls apart and they buy more!”
I like your quote “if you own a rug, you own too much” because I was just thinking, the coat could be a rug. Especially if I never put the buttons back on…
