I don't think I'd be alone if I said that
shopping for jeans sucks. Most anyone can attest to the losing feeling of trying on a million pairs only to find one pair that works. That's partially why I prolonged my
thrift scour through the jeans section for as long as I could. I tend to avoid headache inducing activities, or at least I try to avoid participating long enough to induce the headache, the operative word being
try.
When I finally gave in (c'mon we knew I would) the least likely outcome occurred; I
THRIFTED a pair of
GAP Jeans that fit like a dream.
GAP 1969 jeans to be exact
. Yea, not quite the climax you were expecting, but seriously friends...GAP jeans never fit me!! A clean dark wash, a modern flare, no hemming necessary and only
$7.99 at Salvation Army - now I'd say that's a pretty IN'JEAN'IOUS deal! Yea, I took it there.
Since I love to try out different styles I thought my new jeans would be the perfect anchor piece for the summer 2011 trending
70s inspired look, then I scored this
cream crochet macramé crop top for
$3.99 at Salvation Army and I knew it was a done deal. I wore it with my newly
thrifted Rachel Rachel Roy platform clog booties (last seen
here),
thrifted red leather purse,
thrifted bracelets, H&M teardrop earrings, and Forever 21 felt floppy hat. The good vibrations were free.
Which do you prefer, flares or skinnies?

The jeans look fabulous on you and I like how you styled them in a '70s way with the hat, platform shoes and lace top. I haven't worn jeans regularly in 4 years but I used to buy all my pants/jeans at GAP, they were the only brand that actually fit me well!
ReplyDelete@Leilani - Thank you!! I hardly find jeans that I like and rarely ones that fit me well at the GAP. I'm so happy to have found a pair!
