I turned my nose up at first because I have not shopped at Brass Plum since I was in college plus I am a total denim snob but I had to see for myself. I went over to the BP and tried them on and was shocked to find out I loved them! The difference is they are a bit rigid with just the right amount of slouch so they are more flattering than the super baggy ones (hard to pull off if you're not under 25 years old and/or less than 100 pounds).
And really, for $59!?!?! This is a no brainer! Vigoss Rigid Boyfriend Jeans
Yep, you can't count out the cheaper stores when it comes to denim. My best skinny gray jeans actually came from Old Navy and fit perfectly after I had them taken in at the waist which bought the price up to a whopping $40.00. That just leaves more money for serious clothes. On a more serious note though, I read recently in Marie-Claire, don't remember if it was the French or American MC, anyway, very cheap denim jeans like those that sell for $12.00 ar Forever 21 are likely to have been very mass produced in countries where human rights for workers (especially children)are not respected and many of these denim garment workers are suffering from a sort of denim dust affixiation in their lungs. Many are children and the photos showed them covered with a sort of blue dust. I hope that the GAP group is careful with the production sites selected, but Forever 21?
Hi Monica,
I have had the same concerns but I was told if the people and children in these countries do not work in factories they would be forced into starvation, slavery or prostitution :(
Certainly not condoning child labor but I think we need to lobby the US companies with factories to provide safe working environments for all workers (children included). Blasting them for employing children will just make them go under ground and difficult to monitor.
There is no simple answer to this very serious problem :(
Best fitting boyfriend jeans EVER, from American Eagle. Seriously. They skim your legs just so to perfectly achieve that loose fit that still shows off your but. All for 40 bucks. Much nicer than the current/elliots everyone's walking around in that just make people look shapeless.
Seriously, check them out.
