I spent too much money on a pair of jeans

[Shell Beau]

when I went shopping after work. I have no impulse control when it comes to shopping. If I like it, I buy it. Would anyone spend $130.00 on a pair of jeans? They are really cute and fit really well. I usually spend about $90.00! I knew my husband should have went shopping with me. He would have thrown some reasoning in there and I would have talked myself out of them. Oh well! I'm looking good in them. That's all that matters!



These are the cute jeans I bought!

[texas1928]

1. 27 bucks for a pair of boot cut wranglers.

35 is they are khaki, black or grey.

[Shell Beau]

10. They don't look good on me!

[texas1928]

23. Guys jeans usually are not that flattering for girls.

:P

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. Wow - now I don't feel guilty about the $50 jeans I buy,

that I buy because they (Calvin Kleins) fit me so fucking perfectly and comfortably, better than any other jean I've ever worn.

I'd rather spend less, but for the fit, gotta spend money, and I'm too old to wear uncomfortable clothes.

[Shell Beau]

6. It's all about fitting good. Cheap jeans look like crap on me!

[GOPisEvil]

3. Aiiiiyeeeee!

I feel ripped off paying 30 bucks for jeans.

[Shell Beau]

9. Jeans are the one thing I will splurge on!

[GOPisEvil]

14. I'm that way about shoes.

I hate when my feet hurt, so I buy the best I can afford.

[Shell Beau]

17. I will splurge on 1 or 2 pair of shoes, but the

rest, I'll buy cheaper ones b/c I like to have a huge variety. I love fashion, what can I say?

[DS1]

22. considering they cost about 30 cents to manufacture

:grr:

[GOPisEvil]

29. I actually have a pair of union-made in the USA Calvin Kleins.

Imagine THAT!

But yeah...I hear what you're saying. x(

[underpants]

4. Good you can't afford a shirt now

:bounce:

[Shell Beau]

7. Ha ha ha!

But I bought one first before I bought the jeans!

[Zuni]

5. wow

do those jeans have a computer sewn into them? are they jewel encrusted?

:wow:

[Shell Beau]

8. Actually, what is crazy is that

they have a very worn look to them. For some reason, that costs extra! :shrug:

[johnnie]

11. Because

They have to pay the women in China 2 bucks a day to wear them for a month.

[Shell Beau]

13. But you don't get the broken in feel! They are still stiff, they

just don't look like it!

On eidt, these are each hand made in USA!!! :patriot:

[northzax]

19. jeans made in the US?

no wonder they cost so much.

[Shell Beau]

28. Ha! True!

[AlCzervik]

12. imo shopping for jeans is the worst shopping of all

you have to try on so many pairs and then you're lucky if you can find one that fits and actually looks good.

[Shell Beau]

15. It can be depressing!

[LaraMN]

16. My favorite jeans are like $24.

Levis. I'm lucky the cheap ones fit me the best.

[Shell Beau]

18. Yeah! I actually bought a $22 pair at Target that

fit me decently. But not the way these bad boys do that I have on now!

[LaraMN]

21. Target has some really cute, cheap stuff.

And I am sooooo cheap.:P

[Shell Beau]

30. Target does have some cute stuff. I shop

their at times. I usually like their stuff!

[magnetism]

35. PICS!

We need proof to justify the expense.

:evilgrin:

[Shell Beau]

38. I don't have any of me, but I'll see if I can find the jeans online!!

:P

[Shell Beau]

42. These are the jeans!! Cute, huh?

[magnetism]

44. Um...yea...ok...drool...$130 is justified.

Those are AWESOME! (said like Chris Farley)

I may have to buy my wife a pair of those. I like that model's belly button.

[Hugin]

20. They have jeans out there that cost $130.00?

Really?

Wow.

The only item I have even near that price range is my
leather jacket.

Hey, it's not my fault I look good in a burlap sack. ;)

[Shell Beau]

31. Ha ha! I know it sounds crazy, but they make

them a lot more expensive than that! Burlap sacks can be flattering! :silly:

[Hugin]

36. Cotton flour bag?

I'm lucky, my sweetheart is a granola girl who
looks good in button-fly jeans. (Rrrrrow!)

She spends her mad money on her hair... That's
her appearance splurge.

We *must* attend to the Princess's needs!

:woohoo:

[Shell Beau]

40. Absolutely!!!

;)

[VelmaD]

24. Honey...get help

You've admitted you have poor impulse control and that you spent too much and that's a good start...seek professional assistance.

[Shell Beau]

26. It's not THAT bad. I don't shop often and I never spend

more than I limit myself. But I didn't NEED the jeans, but I wanted them and bought them. No biggie! I allow myself to spend a good bit of money on clothes. I do budget my money and a certain amount goes to clothes!

[Rising Phoenix]

25. it's pricey, but hey if you look hot...

just keep it to one really expensive pair to show off your booty

[Shell Beau]

27. I knew I could count on somebody to understand!

:hi:

[Rising Phoenix]

33. anytime...

[I Have A Dream]

82. I totally agree. If I find a pair of jeans that both look great & are...

comfortable, I'll spend whatever they cost. I'd also probably buy a second pair since I'd probably never be able to find them again.

I hate to shop.

[Pithlet]

32. I bet they look great

I'd never pay that much for a pair of jeans even though they're fabulous, especially not after having kids. I've done the impulse high item splurge for a great pair of shoes, though. So, I understand :) I'd rather have fewer higher quality shoes because I can't stand the feel of most cheap shoes, unless they're supposed to be cheap, like canvas sneakers or flip flops.

[Shell Beau]

34. Everyone has their weakness. I am enjoying it

while I can. I know that when I have kids, I'll be wearing the cheapest clothes I can find. Which hopefully is in the near future!!

[Pithlet]

39. I probably need the jeans more after kids :)

In fact, now I'm wondering where I can get a pair, myself...

[LaraMN]

60. Absolutely valid.

And having spent that much on them will be a great incentive to work hard so you can fit back into them after you have a sprout! Good luck!

[Shell Beau]

63. Ha ha! Good point! Thanks!

[Bridget Burke]

37. More expensive jeans are available....

Jeans are a fashion classic & you can get a lot of wear out of yours. Fill out your wardrobe with some cute shirts from Target...

I wouldn't spend that much on jeans but other expenditures of mine don't bear up to close scrutiny.

[Shell Beau]

41. We all have our weaknesses!!

:)

[LaraMN]

64. I can't criticize. I have my vice.

I've bought primarily inexpensive jeans, but I own five different pairs of knee-boots. Those are my weakness.

[Shell Beau]

66. I almost bought a pair today on my lunch break.

I came real close to getting these



but went for these instead (the first pair)

The boots will be on sale later and I'll grab them then!!

[LaraMN]

67. Oh you MUST!

You will love them! They're fun to wear and (if you haven't tried them before)they're not really as difficult to walk in as some people think. Those ones don't look like knee boots, but they are CUTE! I don't have any that height. The shoes are cute, too! I like your taste.

[Shell Beau]

69. Thanks! The boots came to mid calf but they

were fitted around the calf. They fit like a glove too!! I really needed some heels so I opted for those instead. But I have quite a few boots in mind for fall!

I wanted these but they are close to $500


These are cute if you are into the cowboy boots

[LaraMN]

72. They sound great!

I've run into problems where boots that should be fitted are fine in the foot but too big around the leg.

[youthere]

76. I'm a sucker for boots...

those are fabulous!

[MissMillie]

43. Levis stretch denim boot cut - $29.99 at Sears

I love the way they fit.

[RebelOne]

46. I bought Levies stretch boot cut at Kohl's for $24.95 at Kohl's.

Also Gloria Vanderbilt stretch boot cut for $22.95. I will not spend over $30 for a pair of jeans.

[toey]

45. have no fear shell...

those jeans are hot and bound to turn your hubby on...well worth it!

[Shell Beau]

52. Thanks! I thought so too!

:)

[RebelOne]

47. Nope, I would never spend that much.

Check out Denim & Co. at QVC.com. Lots of cute jeans at great prices.

[Taverner]

48. Are you exposing your midriff with them as well?

I do need some new jeans myself :)

[Shell Beau]

53. Nah, the hubby doesn't like me to expose too much!

:hi:

[Taverner]

56. Awwwwww thats too bad

Since those seem optimal for midriff exposes ;)

[Shell Beau]

57. They are very low cut, so the belly showing a little

is bound to happen.

[Taverner]

58. This is true....

So do you plan to wear a cami or a babydoll t with these?

[Shell Beau]

59. I'll probably wear both at one time or another.

I really like wearing fitted t-shirts b/c they are so comfy, but a cami would be cute too!

[Taverner]

61. And did you get these jeans using "my virtual model?"

[Shell Beau]

62. No, they don't sell those kind of jeans at those stores on that site.

but I did think of that when I was trying them on!!

[samplegirl]

49. what kind are they?

i wont be spending that much on jeans....its all going
into the gas tank.

[Shell Beau]

54. They are called Big Star.

I had never heard of them before. I understand about the gas. I work for an oil and gas company and they are buying all of our gas right now (due to Katrina) and my husband't company pays for his gas, so we have been lucky in that aspect.

[Deja Q]

50. You only live once. Keep 'em.

If you dig jeans, of course.

I'm the type of bloke who buys sportcoats from Ragstock or Goodwill. You know, the nice huter green or burgundy afairs from 1979... :D (no joke though I do say it with a smile.)

[Shell Beau]

55. That's okay. A lot of that stuff is really cool!

[eyepaddle]

51. For my own story of sticker shock

[rene moon]

65. They are great

Which brand?

[nickgutierrez]

68. I spent too little money on a pair of jeans...

...and now there's a hole right where my ass is supposed to be.

:cry:

[Shell Beau]

70. That can happen with expensive ones too!

I wear jeans so much that they start to wear thin and in all the wrong places. I never get a cute little hole on the knee. It's always a big hole on my butt!! :shrug: What can you do?

[youthere]

71. Should've bought the boots!

[Shell Beau]

73. I will get those! But later!

[WCGreen]

74. Jesus H. Christ....

That's half my mortgage.....

But if they look as good as I think they do darlin', splurge if you got it.......

[Shell Beau]

75. It is a lot. You'd be surprised though b/c they

are by far not the most expensive jeans I've seen. I can't imagine why they'd cost so much. But if I find a pair of jeans that fit perfectly, I'll pay more than I should. They know lots of women will buy something if it makes their tush-ie look good! ;)

[WCGreen]

77. Honey, from what I have seen of you in the picture posts...

You don't need no help with the old cabose......

[Shell Beau]

78. Aw, thanks!!

:blush:

[chaska]

79. Wow, I spent $5. on a pair at the thrift store yesterday.

[LSK]

80. seek help

And while your at it, how about some pics of you in them! ;)

[Shell Beau]

81. Ha ha! Maybe I should!
