But after coming up empty at J. Crew, Ann Taylor Loft and Nordie’s shoe department, I took a peek inside to kill time while the hubs was in the Apple store.
I tried on these jeans and fell in love.
They flatter my curves and have the boyfriend jean look without the saggy, sloppiness.
The $89 price tag made wince. Yeah, I know. I have no problem with forking that over that and more at Sephora, but jeans are something I tend to buy from Target or Walmart for no more than $20. <- Hey, you have to scrimp on something.
Anyhoo, I’m wearing them today without a smidgen of buyer’s remorse. And thanks to the dh, I’m also in gadget heaven with a new iPad.
The jeans are also available online.
So what are your favorite jeans?
I have a pair of Lands End relaxed fit jeans that are so ancient and comfy they're getting holes in the seat. And earlier this year I bought a pair of Old Navy distressed boyfriend jeans for when I don't want to wear my beloved 'mom' jeans.
ReplyDeleteNow, JJill. :) :) :) My sister has the same opinion of them that you do, only she says 'boring'. What you call drab I call muted. They're my absolute favorite online source for elegant casuals: I have a collection of their shelf-bra tanks that I layer with everything; three linen shirts (and I'm champing at the bit to buy one of their current stock in the the sorbet color); soft cotton shorts; my favorite skirt (long, gored, cotton, in tan); even a few pieces of their unique jewelry (my fave is an earring with a grey pearl and a chunk of pewter with leaves etched on it that I've had for seven years and counting...)
I'll stop. Did I mention that I love JJill? Their prices have gotten kinda ridiculous but I wait until the season is ending and get great discounts.
Nice ipad, btw, but I'm not even tempted. :-/
I have three Land's End cardigans and their quality is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI like the silhouette and soft fabrics of J. Jill's clothes, but would it kill them to throw in a cherry red, neon orange or lime green color option????
Almost bought this shirt in lilac: http://www.jjill.com/jjillonline/product/itempage.aspx?item=HD011D&PFID=15&BID=S2010254082537810C5A4402914353A9C806&h=M&sk=M
Honestly, I avoided the Apple store so I wouldn't be tempted, but I'm glad he got the iPad.
LOVE THEM TO SHREDS. Phyl, I have a pair of boyfriend jeans, too--absolutely adorable AND comfortable. And, as you know, a beloved pair of jeans go a looooong way!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, Con. I love these so much, I ended up buying a second pair in a faded denim.
ReplyDeleteHa! I prefer faded to all other shades!
ReplyDeleteYou're right about the cherry red and lime. I've often wished for a slightly more adventurous palette when I see stuff that I like. White, ivory, grey and blue? But I've got enough of those already!
I gave in and bought the sorbet linen shirt. Saw the lilac shirt too - and they've got it in tall. Don't tempt me! :)
