GUESS Pocket Washed Denim Tapered Leg Overalls

So, as you can see in the photos above, you might be wondering what the two holes in the waist area are for. They used to accommodate a shoelace-like string that would go into the waistband for extra tightness. However, I, on the other hand, hated how it looked, so I completely removed it, thinking I was quite the fashionista. Now, though, it's costing me a pretty penny to lower the price of my product. Ugh! Very good condition otherwise! UPDATE: PLEASE READ! I found the white string :)
