Being in my 30s I feel like I’ve worn almost every single wash and type of jean there is. There were black jeans during my Emo phase in high school, bootleg jeans in the 90s, skinny jeans for most of the 00s, and loose boyfriend jeans during my post-baby body phase, which has already lasted three years…
Anyways, the point is I’m at a denim crossroads. I can no longer wear low-cut, bum-showing skinny jeans. Black jeans don’t feel right, and nor is dressing like a teenage boy in baggy jeans particularly appealing.
Then I spotted the exact pair I was after. Problem was, they were on a person I was driving past, which made it a little difficult to ask where she got them. But I’ve found the next best thing, a pair at Target that only cost $20. And that’s not even the cheapest pair, you can pick up a pair for $10!
These are the cheapest jeans I’ve ever bought, and remarkably similar to a Sass & Bide pair I bought for nearly 10 times* the price a decade ago. My $20 bargains are a classic denim blue, straight-legged, high-waisted but not in that too high-waisted way that might give you camel-toe or a ‘mum tum’ or be uncomfortable post-burger.
I’ve only worn them a few times but so far they have washed really well and haven’t faded or stretched. I may never buy expensive designer jeans again.
What’s your find?

*Edited. Apparently $20 x 200 doesn’t equal a pair of Sass & Bide jeans. I’m sorry, I did Maths in the Sandpit at school.
