The first one to go? Designer denim. Buh. Bye.
Look brand snoots, I feel you. I used to consider jeans that cost less than $150 an insult to JAPs everywhere. This was before I discovered Forever 21. Unlike GAP, Old Navy and the like, Forever 21 denim is virtually unrecognizable as such. When worn with a white-hot shirt (this one Anne Fontaine, stolen from Mommy’s Closet), they look like they cost a hell of a lot more than $24.99.
If you can’t bring yourself to buy jeans from Forever 21, get off my blog. Now. Just kidding
. If you must, must have brand name denim in your life, don’t add insult to injury by paying full price. Hit sample sales, Loehmann’s, Century 21, outlets, designer re-sale shops, whatevs. Anything you buy, be it a crazy leather handbag or an H&M dress, can always be found for less than its retail price; jeans are NO EXCEPTION to this rule.I’ve had serious success with denim of the designer ilk at Beacon’s Closet. I’m also a big fan of Beacon’s’ no-name stuff; this fantabulous, high-waisted, wide-legged pair was $16.95. The front of the jeans is good.
The back of the jeans is GREAT. Must be that gold shooting star patch.
Or maybe it’s just my ass!
That star patch is great. I’ll be your haley’s comet baby!
That corset-look front on the jeans is amazing.
full disclosh: i hate jeans. i’m short – they always seem to make me shorter, more troll-like. but, I am diggin’ the bell-bottom look that popular in eighth grade and has come back – so i bought a pair of jeans from ny and company online – $25. we’ll see how they are when they come to my apt…i’m going to be optimistic…
sooo fake
