i just bought two pairs of jeans today: a pair of trouser-cut jeans from jcrew and a pair of skinny (shock, amaze!) jeans from old navy.
i would have NEVER tried the old navy jeans, but while standing in line to pick up my football tickets the other day, there was a tres chic girl in front of me. she had a beautiful marc jacobs bag and marc jacobs flats and her skinny jeans looked SO GOOD on her. i didn't recognize the stitching on the pockets, but i figured they were designer since they looked so well-cut and the wash was beautiful. being the nosy person that i am, i tapped her on the shoulder and asked her, and she said that they cost $25 at old navy, of all places! i was wowed, so i went to try them today since it's my day off. they're really flattering, i was surprised. since i'm not thin, i figured i'd look like crap, but i figured they'd be worth a try. i'm so glad i did! not only were they only $25, but they gave me a $5 gift card good towards any jeans in september. if i wear these a lot, i'll go back and get another wash
and this is me, the girl that hates more or less all jeans (and pants in general). the jcrew trouser jeans were great as well, they made my ass look fabulous. trouser cut jeans have always been my favorite, though.
