Find
I rarely shop around Soho but on Saturday, I had time to kill in between lunch with a friend and dinner and after lunch, ended up in Soho to go to a sample sale. Not really having anywhere else to go, I decided to walk down Broadway and stopped by American Eagle Outfitters. I've never bought anything at AE--they used to be too Aeropostale and now, post-makeover, they have better clothes but have gone from inexpensive too a little too expensive for an aspiring Abercrombie & Fitch. But I was waiting for a dressing room when a stack of jeans caught my eye--they appeared to be my size and the color I coveted so I headed over to the jeans section and was happy to see the selection they had. I've been trying to find a pair of jeans I like for over a year but most of the stores I frequent only have dark jeans (which hasn't been what I've been looking for) or when they do have jean colors I like, tend to exceed my limit for jeans. I know Seven jeans are coveted and are supposed to make you look your ass look fabulous and while, admittedly, my experience with them has been limited because I refuse to shell out over $100 for a pair of jeans (I even hesitate at $50), I think they're overrated. And I'm glad I held out--after trying on a stack of jeans, I found the perfect pair--not too low, the right color, and totally comfortable. Now if I could only find the perfect boots..
