My Favorite Denim

I've been a Blue Jean Baby all my life. In fact, one pair of jeans that I had in high school (I think they were Levi's) I wore so many times, and washed so many times, that they became as soft and worn in as leggings. They were SO fabulous. Then I had a klepto roommate at one point, and they ended up disappearing. That's a story for another time, but I mourned the loss of those jeans almost more than the money she stole. YOU CAN'T JUST BUY ANOTHER PAIR OF PERFECT JEANS, BITCH!!!! Or, can you? Ever since my teens, I've been on the hunt for perfect denim. Denim is an interesting thing, because you can find the exact "same" fabric for sale at $300 per pair from one brand and $80 from another brand. Quality is key of course, but so is the cut. I have found absolutely incredible jeans for under $100 that I have worn to death and still LOVE. I think there's a place for both in your closet, and today I thought I would share the absolute best pairs of denim that I own and treasure. The below pairs are all STARS in my closet. They each serve a different purpose, they're at all different price points, and believe they all deserve a try. You might just find your favorite new pair!

I got these jeans over the summer and they became an instant fave. I'm wearing them in these photos, by the way. The denim is super luxurious and dark raw, almost like a japanese denim. I love how they have minimal stretch and really hold their shape.
