thrift world

thrift world introduced me to my new favorite jeans. gap, long and lean. these jeans would normally run you about $60 a pair, but i found them at thrift world for $7.

this is why i heart them.

Our best-selling jean is instantly slimming and gives the illusion of longer legs, while still providing a generous fit for all sizes.

  • High-quality stretch denim with fading and handsanding (wash may vary slightly).
  • Sits low on the waist, slightly relaxed through the hip and thigh, flared leg opening.
  • 5-pocket styling, deep hem, grinding at pockets and hem.
and my other favorite new jean is my new to me pair of apple bottoms. these bad boys are around $60, too, but i got my pair on ebay for around $20. yes, nelly the rapper is the creator behind these pants, but i have to admit. these are great.

i found a pair at 1/2 of 1/2 clothing or something (this great discount store in omaha) and tried them on. the wash was less than desirable. but when i looked in the mirror, i had to say to myself, yes, i do like the junk in my trunk :).

so i went on a hunt to find a good pair, and yep, definitely found them.

if you're looking for a comfortable jean that:
* doesn't have to be washed every day
* is flattering no matter your height or size
* makes you smile when you look in the mirror
go with the gap long and lean

if you're looking for a comfortable jean that:
* makes you say to yourself, oh snap, yes, i do like the junk in my trunk
* flatters fuller hips, bottom and thighs
* makes you want to play it's gettin' hot in herre
go with the apple bottoms

happy jean shopping.

I love Thrift World too -- mainly because I love buying $50 items for $2. I also like thrift store jeans because someone else has gone through the trouble of wearing them in for you.
