Ladies, where do you buy your jeans?

[lauramullen]

My friend who just filed for bankruptcy bought a pair of Guess Jeans yesterday

 

[Liesje]

Hmmm, priorities? Yeah I know someone who had his parents pay for college so he came out ahead, but somehow has a ton of CC debt, but keeps getting new cars, big screen TV, remodeling the house....

I wasn't even going to go shopping but Phil said he needed a new pair of sandals and wanted to go to the mall (and he is VERY frugal, generally I have to convince him he needs someone).

Since my tastes and weight fluctuate I don't like to spend a lot on clothing (besides stuff like winter jackets, work boots, good winter gloves where quality is really important).

 

[lauramullen]

I don't like to spend a lot either. There were some really cute shirts, but I know I can find something exactly like them for half the price.

 

[Liesje]

Or wait a few weeks and type it in on eBay

 

[beegee]

We have a Hollister but I'm scared to go in there

Taking my fifteen-year-old daughter into Hollister is absolute torture for me, lol.

 

[Liesje]

We went over to the store and I told DH I just couldn't go in, lol. It's right where the Abercrombie used to be (which I never went in or bought from, and my mom who is NOT one to care what we wear or shelter us called their company to complain that the catalog they sent my little brother was softcore porn). Luckily someone we knew came by so we chatted instead.

OK i'm very late to this thread, but have you tried Aeropostale's mens' jeans. I started wearing mens' after I had my first child. I found I liked the cut in the thigh much better than womens'. Then after I lost my (3) kids weight and my kids' got older (taller than me) I started wearing their hand me downs. I love my son's Aeropostale's. When they go on sale you can usually get a couple pair for $40-45. I had tried some Mossimos, but their low-rise cut was just too low, cuz yes I'm a mom. And who has time to hang out in Marshalls just waiting for the right 7s to come in.

 

[lauramullen]

I love the smell of the Hollister store.

 

[Cactus Annie]

Gap sell jeans that have a great fit and are reasonably priced.

 

[MooMoo!]

Most of my jeans are from charity shops.

 

[oktobergirl]

Mossimo jeans, the premium denim ones. They are on sale usually for 27.99. They usually fit me great, altho I am 5'9.

I have bought Joe's jeans in the past but they usually around 80.00 on sale at Loehmann's and I am trying not to spend that kind of money for clothing anymore. I have found Target's Mossimo brand to hold up just as well and look good if you get the right fit.

It's dark, it's loud and I think they pour cologne in their air ducts. Total torture.

I spend a lot of $ on work clothes, it's just the nature of the beast, and I wish I could wear jeans to work.

 

[Bonogirl777]

Every time I frickin' walk by Abercrombie and Fitch, the smell is overwhelming. And plus, their "small" is like an extra extra extra extra small.

 

[beegee]

Then I have to pay and I want to punch people.

 

[officeman120]

Gap jeans ..I like.

Oh the smell is SO bad! We walked by the store, thinking whether or not to go in (I've never been in this store). It was totally dark so I couldn't see inside and they had some half nakid manikins at the door. The smell was coming out, already overpowering and we were outside the store on the other side of the mall. I went the other direction into some random store I've never been in and ended up finding jeans there. Turns out the pants I were buying before were too big in size and too short in length. Actual measurements, what a concept.

Sicy will be happy, I bought another pair on eBay. Dunno if they will fit but they were $10 on eBay (new) and $118 from the brand website.

 

[lauramullen]

I have my Edun jeans on today and I love them

Just make sure they're not fake lol.

 

[Liesje]

I don't even care if they are fake as long as they fit!

I can't hear myself think in a Hollister store

And their tops are NOT made for someone who has something remotely resembling a chest.

True Religions are worth the money..I have a pair from almost 2 years ago that I have worn the crap out of. I can wear them 6 times before washing...they don't stretch out, don't shrink in the wash, and don't wear thin. I can't say the same about the 20 other 'bargain buys' that hang unworn in my closet because they either shrunk up or just don't wear well. Plus, True's are made in the USA. Rock and Republic are nice for fit but are not as solid, IMO.

I must admit, though, that I do dig their live beach webcam screens.

I could stand there and watch those for hours.

True Religions are THE jeans. I love them.

Me too because I start dreaming of being at the beach on a cold day

As soon as I can get ahold of a spare $100 I'm off to JWs to get myself 2 pairs of the ones I'm wearing right now. So perfect. I need more in different colours. I'll be set for the next few years, provided my weight doesn't shift drastically in either direction.

I found the best jeans this week-at Macys. Jeanstar brand. I've never tried them before but I saw a rack of 75 % off original price-they had white and dark wash. My friend let me put them on her Macy's charge and with that and a coupon they were 8 and 10 dollars a pair!

The style is called delle-they're bootcut and curvy fit through the hip and thigh-and not too low rise. They're great for warmer weather, lighter weight denim. The length is great for me-I'm 5'9 1/2"-for someone a couple of inches shorter than that they'd be good with a higher heel.

The most frustrating part was that I wanted two blue pair for that price-and the other two I tried on in my size were tighter and didn't fit like the pair I bought I'm not crazy about white jeans but they actually look ok and for that price I couldn't pass them up.

I've worn the blue ones and they didn't stretch out so far (one of my biggest pet peeves). I washed them so I'll see how they look the next time I wear them. But so far they are extremely comfy and they're slimming/flattering. Marshalls and TJ Maxx also carry Jeanstar but not for that price. Bargain jeans that look good are such a thrill

 

[lauramullen]

Macy's is having a great sale this weekend. I might go and get a new suitcase for my Dublin trip.

 

[corianderstem]

I was in Nordstrom buying some new bras, and wandered over to the area where they had the fancy-schmancy jeans. I ended up trying on a pair of Citizens of Humanity jeans.

I bought them, even though the price was outrageous. I was amazed that a pair of jeans would look so nice on me. They're being altered (they were a shorter length, but still too long), and I can't wait to pick them up.
