Pantaloons

I have three pairs of jeans that fit me now. Two of them I had from before pregnancy, and one I got since. All three are ripped. I have no problem mending ripped jeans, but still, mended jeans are pretty grubby. So I needed some new pants.
I went to the Gap yesterday (after trying on tons of pants at cheaper places to no avail) and found some that fit me. Yay! They were on sale, too.... for $43.
Now, I have trouble justifying spending that much on a pair of pants. These were especially hard to justify, since they were super long and I'd need to hem them. Why should I pay that much for a pair of pants that needed alterations?
The pants on the regular rack ranged from $60-65, and so I eventually talked myself into buying the "sale" jeans.
When they rang up, the cashier told me they were even further discounted, and they wound up being only $27!
Oh happy day!

I love it when that happens! I need to go jeans shopping too- I only have one pair that fit.

I have such a hard time paying more than $10 for pants. And I love really well fitting jeans, but I can't spend more than $15 on them. Maybe $20, maybe, but only if they're extra super fabulous. Usually I end up going to Goodwill and getting some that are decent fitting.

I've found that old navy has good cheaper jeans.

$47, even $27 seems like so much for jeans!!!! That's about 350 kuai!!! I just bought a nice pair of jeans I like for 70 kuai about$10...China has lots and lots of good shopping. I don't know what I'm going to do when we move back to the States. Glad you got a even better discount!
