Madewell jeans are a sure winner. It’s been ages, I mean ages since I bought a new pair of jeans. I think it was 2009 in an H&M in Paris when I bought three pairs of jeans and haven’t invested since. Now, though, my query is over thanks to my sister. She has these Madewell jeans in both white and blue. She let me borrow her blue pair for my quick week trip to Seattle. While they were actually too hot to ever wear out and about, I did style them in two ways, and I believe I am sold. They’re a heftier price than what I’m used to at $135 a pair, but I think they’re well worth the investment–especially since I tend to buy jeans every 6 years or so! The thing about flares like these however is a platform heel is necessary which is not a bad thing considering they’ll make me four inches taller. Now I just have to figure out the color….maybe Julie will let me test out the white pair too!
How about you? Do you have a perfect pair of jeans that are worth the investment for you? What are they and just how high ($$$) will you go?
Some Outfit Details:
Sunnies: tortoise Tom Ford cat eyes AND Zara cream cat eyes

Jeans: Madewell Flea Market Flares in Thom
Shoes: Mia sandal platforms
Bags: belt bag from Francesca’s AND turquoise beaded wrist bag from Goodwill
Indeed, these jeans look very good on you. Slight preference for the white blouse outfit. And I adore the bags, especially that mintgreen one.
This look is not very flattering on me as it emphasizes hips and bum area. Two areas I rather avoid. I have a pair of long turned-up skinny jeans by Denham I am very fond of. Need to lose weight though as they are uncomfortable now.
How much am I willing to spend on good jeans? I don’t dare to tell you. A lot. As I wear them a lot too.

Hmm, now it looks like my reply got lost in cyber space, as I had previously responded to your comment but it must not have taken. I think it’s more of our Internet-out-in-the-wilderness more than anything.
At any rate, I too prefer the jeans with the white blouse. It’s more fresh. I can’t choose which bag I like better! Are you beginning to realize I’m a bit of a bag lady! Hahehah!
I don’t wear jeans all that much during the school year which is the work year for me–except I like to sneak them in on Fridays! During the summer, I can’t stay out of my jean shorts!! ;D
Thanks for commenting Greetje. Means a lot to me.
Love, Ann
