Fabuless finds!

 

 

 

 

Jeans are my uniform. I'm a mom, so they fit the bill perfectly. I can dress them up or throw on a sweatshirt and call it good. I will pretty much wear any brand, as long as they are cost effective, or um, cheap. I frequent Goodwill because I can almost always find something good. By something good, I mean a brand name that I wouldn't be caught dead purchasing retail. Jeans can be expensive, very expensive. From a fashion standpoint, denim is a statement. With a fancy logo on the back pocket, you are showing your friends, family and fashionistas just how much you care about the way you look and what you spent. Sure, I want to walk into Nordstrom, plunk down my hard earned cash, and walk out with 1 pair of jeans. Not only am I handing over my money, I'm leaving with designer jeans and a bag full of guilt. I just can't bring myself to do that. With 3 kids and all of their activities, food, gas etc. that money needs to go somewhere other than my wardrobe. Therefore, I scour the racks at Goodwill, in hopes that I find an amazing deal. Sometimes they are few and far between but one day, I hit the jean jackpot! The Stillwater Goodwill yielded Hudson, J Brand and Not Your Daughter's jeans. I grabbed them and threw them in the cart, hoping they would fit. I've had my eye on some Hudson's for quite some time, so I was crossing my fingers they would fit. Thankfully and luckily, they all fit. I must admit, I splurged on the Hudson's and paid $14.99, a price I was completely fine with, as I know that I will wear them frequently. The J Brand jeans cost $6.99 and the Not Your Daughter's Jeans cost $4.99. Clothing is expensive and many times, fabrics don't last through all of the spills, stains and tears that occur. Why not buy clothing from Goodwill? You can find a great bargain and designer label jeans with money to spare.
