Fun For Friday -
Blue Jeans are not just for cowboys and farmers anymore. I bet I wear them 5-6 days a week. You can wear them anywhere now; nice restaurants, the theater, even church.
This is an unsolicited endorsement of Lucky Brand Jeans. I was lucky enough to get 2 new pairs this week. They are well made and fit great.
Now women will say "$100 is too much to spend on jeans!" or "I buy mine at Walmart and they're fine". Okay. They are expensive, but I've had a pair last nearly 10 years. So that is $10.00 a year. If worn twice a week, that's only 9 cents per wearing. A solid investment in my book.
Here is my Jean Theory:
You should spend twice your age, and hope to look half as good as you used to.
Lucky has many different styles, shapes and lengths. They also have stretch now (thank goodness). They offer free shipping, even on returns. The first 2 pair I ordered didn't fit - no problem - free shipping both ways.
I like to try things on at home, especially something as important as jeans. I will, after all, be entering into a long term relationship with them.
Speaking of denim...Rachael made this fabulous quilt with old jeans. Isn't it terrific? Her blog, Blue Mountain Daisy, is always a great source of fun and inspiration.
By the way, being a thrifty shopper, I have found Lucky Jeans at TJMaxx and Marshalls....
Splurge on your jeans - you're worth it!
