Elite  3223    Hendersonville |  Subject: Should I buy $165 jeans?OK, I did a stupid thing yesterday..I went to Nordstroms and tried on jeans. I was wondering if I could fit into a 26 instead of a 27 since I have lost a few pounds recently and have been doing the ab challenge. I said to myself "Just try them on...do NOT buy ANOTHER pair of $100+ jeans!" Well of course I tried on the size 26 and they fit...and they make my legs look so damn skinny...and I looooove them.....I told them to hold em for me, then I left. They are haunting me. They are calling me. The mojo flows in those jeans, man. What should I do?? I went to Forever 21 after that and tried on $30 dollar jeans, no mojo though... Jess |

I love GAP jeans and they fit me well, and compared to your jeans they are cheap! I would rather spend $165 to upgrade my aerobars, get a new bike jersey or bike shorts, or get some new cute runing clothes! But like I said...that's just my personal perference. I treat myself with new tri gear and running clothes |

Master 2136 A Prairie Home | Subject: RE: Should I buy $165 jeans? Yeah, I love my $19.99 Gap Jeans too. But if I can fit into a pair of 7, I sure will buy them. My thunder thighs and pot roast calves are telling me that I will never fit into a pair of 7. Sigh.. I say get them but pay with cash. |

My thunder thighs and pot roast calves are telling me that I will never fit into a pair of 7. Sigh.. I say get them but pay with cash. I feel your pain haivn muscular legs- no flare jeans for me! I have to stick to the boot fit cut so my cycling legs aren't exploding out of my jeans! I'm only 5'1" so it makes it harder to find jeans |

Queen BTich 12411 , | Subject: RE: Should I buy $165 jeans? Well, I felt like the new cut Gap jeans are worth $100. I love them and they were on sale for $20 last week! Regular $58-$68, but still much cheaper than $165. Step away from the jeans... |

| Extreme Veteran 389 Central Wisconsin | Subject: RE: Should I buy $165 jeans? 165 dollars for a pair of jeans? Does it come with a warranty? Personally I couldnt spend a 165 dollars for a pair but all your hardwork warrants a gift to yourself; so if you have the money I say go for it. One thing though, without a picture of you in the jeans this thread is worthless. |

| Elite 2796 Texas | Subject: RE: Should I buy $165 jeans? "The mojo flows in those jeans, man" What else is there to say? I thought I sensed some turbulance in the mojo fields yesterday. Spandex and lycra are great, but there's nothing like a woman in the right pair of jeans. |

| Subject: RE: Should I buy $165 jeans? I'm a stingy Virgo so when I come across something expensive that I love I tell myself to wait for a sale. If I can find them on sale in my size, then it was meant to be & I buy them. If not, it's really no loss. It's just an article of clothing after all. |

| Elite 2796 Texas | Subject: RE: Should I buy $165 jeans? Most of my jeans last like 10 years. That's only $16.50 a year, or $1.38 a month over the life of the jeans. And...they just get better with age. |

| Champion 8903 | Subject: RE: Should I buy $165 jeans? This sounds like a take off from "What Not To Wear." "And here we have Jessica, stylish in her new form flattering jeans for $160. Her pink spaghetti strap top with sequined applique is $95, and she has followed Stacey's and Clinton's suggestion to accentuate her slim waist with a cute denim jacket for $310. Completing the wardrobe with a pair of blue Italian 4" sling-back heels for $400 and she's ready for an afternoon lunch with friends!" OK Jess....can we see another outfit please? |

| Buttercup 14334 | Subject: RE: Should I buy $165 jeans? Jessica, it's a very tough call when the mojo flows. I'm a GAP girl myself, but flowing mojo... oh so hard to resist. The difference between looking great and looking stunning... Priceless. Good luck, whatever you decide. |

| Elite 3223 Hendersonville | Subject: RE: Should I buy $165 jeans? I think I am going to buyy the damn jeans. I put them on hold, I waited, I left the mall without them yeaterday...and they are still calling me..If I get them, I promised Aaron I would put my pics up in the Before and After thread so everyone can see how fat I used to be and understand why I would spend 165 bucks on skinny jeans (and no I am not getting any smaller - I've lost enough weight, thank you very much!)
