Jeans are (by far) my favorite item of clothing. I love the versatility of jeans — truly, anything goes. You can dress them up, dress them down… all with simple and fast changes.
Here’s a video of a quick change — (sorry about the lighting on this video!)

I’m so jealous you found those shoes for $50! I want to go shopping with you!
Now is the time to buy some jeans, too! The changing on seasons means the changing of “styles” and a lot of jeans will go on sale [because they're switching to capris].
Also, a lot of “big ticket” names that you can usually only find in department stores are moving to mass merchandisers as well [like LEI to Walmart]. Same quality, same styles, just CHEAPER
And those jeans look much better with those sneakers than the tapered
ah, for me it’s aeropostale’s i found at a yard sale, like new. problem: i can’t find any more like them!!! and i LOVE these jeans!!!!
I LOVE that you advise getting great jeans! They are so totally worth it.
Great post! Oh my stars, I love the shoes! I live in jeans and it’s hard to find the right fit, but once you do, they’re like your best friend.
Great tip. I live in jeans. I don’t have any really good designer ones right now, but I do have some cute Gap jeans that I wear all the time. No mom jeans!
Audrey… I saw some Levi jeans while at Macy’s today, and I thought about your post. Remember that when I was young, Levi’s were about the only brand available, and we ladies had to buy men’s! The waist was always so huge in order to accommodate the hips! Well, I didn’t have time to try any on, but I could be tempted to go back. Retro? Crazy? In or out?
You can come with me!!
Love, Mom
Okay, chick, where are we shopping when you come to Pittsburgh? Those shoes are so envy worthy – I love them! I actually just bought two pair of fabulous jeans today from Christopher & Banks. Not trendy name, but cute and comfortable. Just my style. Paid $18 and $12 for them. I broke my $15 rule, but the $18 pair had tummy slimming panels and fit really well! Loved this post, Audrey.
I need new jeans. I found 3 pairs of great fitting ones before my honeymoon (4 years ago!) and now they are all hole-y…
