Ripped Denim

Happy Friday! I'm excited about this outfit, because I'm wearing one of the few pairs of denim that I love. Some people think it's crazy to spend a lot of money on a pair of jeans, and I used to be one of them. Why spend hundreds of dollars on pants when you can get them at Forever 21 for $10? But let's be honest. While I love Forever 21 and how inexpensive their clothes are, [I shop there all the time and have at least 5 pairs of their $10 denim], they are inexpensive because they aren't great quality. They don't last long, and they don't really look or feel that nice. I finally took the plunge and purchased a couple pairs of nice jeans, and I am OBSESSED. I don't know what rock I have been living under, but these jeans are the best and smartest purchase I have ever made. And even with how unimpressed I am with clothes in general [I am constantly buying clothes and then selling them a few weeks later], I know that I will have these babies for a very long time. 

*Tip: Head to Nordstrom Rack in order to find designer clothes and great prices. These Paige skinny jeans that I'm wearing today are normally over $200, but I scored them for $60 at Nordstrom Rack!

I have been obsessing over ripped denim lately, [especially THESE which I also just recently purchased], so I thought I'd share my current favorites at a few different price points. My favorite pair of jeans that I own are J. Brand. They are high in quality and I think definitely worth the price. You know that I'm not crazy about jeans because of my struggle with finding a pair that fits me in the right ways, but the J. Brand skinny jeans that I picked up at the ILY Fashion Market changed my mind and I'm now convinced I need them in every color and style.

I hope you have a great weekend!! *Linked up with: Style Elixir // Favorite Fashion Friday // The Mrs. and the Momma // Friday's Fivexoxo,
