Anyway, if you didn't catch on, I'm foolish Katie. I packed really poorly for home. All I brought literally was Lilly stuff, shoes, t-shirts, and my plastic tub of accessories. Not in there: enough socks, jeans, and a few other items I've lusted after knowing full well they're in my locked apartment in my locked room 550 miles away.
Just two days ago, I went into my local Nordstrom's Rack in Annapolis to the delight of their fabulous denim selection! I was ready to pay Nordy's Rack price off of the designer pants with ranges from $70-$100. Instead I first headed over to the clearance rack. After filing through all the indigo pants, I took 7 pairs in back with me to try on: Paige Jeans, Joe's Jeans, Seven for All Mankind, Citizens, the lot.
I tried and tried and tried + 4 more tries and only came out with one winner (which I guess is a good thing for my wallet) with a pair of Joe's Jeans.
These are the "Muse" fit in the "high rise" (cut?). I'm not sure of the color for sure or the inseam for sure but they're dark jeans with a LONG LONG LONG inseam. (I have long pants issues...#giraffeproblems). I was thrilled to find a pair that I liked AND on sale!
I happily marched up to the register (thankfully nothing else really caught my eye...we'll leave that for the real Nordstrom) and the cashier scanned my pants for...$27! TWENTY SEVEN DOLLARS for designer denim that fit. Where am I? Is that even real life? Is that even POSSIBLE?!
Needless to say I was excited and proud walking out with my great jeans! I happily would have paid the normal price but thanks to savvy shopping I got these for a steal!
Now I need more denim advice: WHERE DO YOU GET IT? I'm in the market for straight leg, darker-ish (I just hate light denim), LONG jeans.
Can anyone help a sista out? Where do you get your jeans? Do you rely on one brand or do you shop around (that's clearly what I'm guilty of)? I need some clues ladies!!
