So, I know you're into designer jeans
How much better IS the quality and fit? I was doing some lunchtime shopping, and looking through the clearance racks at 7 for All Mankind, and Miss Me, and so on... Thought about at least trying on the 7s so that the next time Gilt Group or Rue La La have them I know what size to buy.
Re: achase... jeans question... Not at all SP related!
I love, love, LOVE designer jeans. My first pair were 7 for All Mankind, which I bought 7 years ago and I still wear them. They look the same as they did when I bought them. I used to wear Gap, etc., but they were always shrinking, getting holes, etc. So I felt I was wasting money throwing them out when they didn't fit anymore or wore badly.
So, in my opinion, it is more efficiant buying designer jeans because the quality and comfort is AMAZING!!
SOOOOO much better. here's an example: I STILL have the second pair of jeans that I ever bought (the only reason I don't have the first is because they got hemmed too short) and I bought them in 2005. They are excellent, excellent quality.
Plus the fit is amazing. With other jeans, they will fit perfectly when they come out of the dryer and then loosen up and end up looking ridiculous and being uncomfortable by the end of the day. With designer jeans, the ticket is to buy them tight. Tighter than you would want them to be. We're talking, you can barely button them tight. But they will stretch a bit and be perfect.
I'm so happy you are thinking about buying some. Sheesh, I need some help with my addiction problems
I LOVE Silvers. I have been wearing them since I was in high school. I also got a pair of Joe's (or Jo's I'm not even sure!) while I was pregnant and loved them! I am going to look into some more nonmaternity ones!
Paying the extra $$$ is totally worth it for the fit and quality!
ps. I know I am not Achase but I was lurking!
I appreciate the input from all of you!
You've convinced me to give them a try. I might start with Silvers, I like the way they look!
