I still love my denim, but WOW. The choices have really expanded now - designer denim is mainstream and oh-so-worth-it if you can afford to spend your precious economy-conscious dollars on it. Or, if you choose to. I mean, really, the days of spending in the single digits for a pair of jeans are well over, and and even the most thrifty have come to realize that it's true. After all, a great pair of jeans really can speak volumes about your personality, not to mention what they're saying about your body. And hey - if my jeans are speaking for me, I sure hope they're calling me hot!
