Damn that's a successful shopping day. I don't mind spending the money if I'll get a good solid pair but I've had a few bad purchases. One that stands out was actually a friend who bought a nice pricey pair of jeans that, no matter how many times they were washed, dyed her legs blue everytime she wore them.
Not that the list of male advantages is short or anything, but I hit the outlet mall with a "sky's the limit, I need five new pairs of jeans" mentality and walked out having spent less than $60. I had a pair of Eddie Bauers that fit me just fine, looked, well, good enough (I mean, not really a point of perfection for me) and survived laying over at speed on a motorcycle twice. Think they were $23. used to be I'd spend double that on a pair of 501s from Miller's Outpost or whatever. Yay China?
Oh wow that's my dream ! I normally go in a store with jeans covering the walls just to find 1 in my size (never cheap). I'm size 0... The media said I would have it so easy ! I was lied to dammit. I never thought of Eddie Bauer for jeans however I should look because I've found nice outerwear there. Lucky has been good to me and typically when they start to wear out I can stretch their life by using them as work pants. Finding size 0 pants for landscaping just doesn't happen.
