When I was at my college homecoming's step-show a woman on the floor (a spirited spectator) had on such a mesmerizing outfit- She had on extremely acid-washed, high-waist, tapered-leg jeans that I knew came from a thrift store. They were too amazing for retail.
She had them on with a mid-riff top. She was too cute.
This turned over a new leaf in me, or un-blocked a mental block about sifting through jeans at thrift stores. I had to get over this.
I'm over it. I found perfection in these vintage Guess triangle-butt-tag skinny leg jeans.
And they were made in the U.S.A., y'all. Damn, right?
I got over this block a while back and have found several pairs of thrift store jeans that I'm very happy with. I think it's worth the sift-time too since thrift store jeans are typically so cheap.
Sometimes I make the focus of my thrift store visit just to seek out and even try-on jeans. It's easier that way because pants-hunting at thrift stores truly is, in my opinion, the toughest game there is.
I fully agree! I often avoid digging into the jeans section at the thrift store because the thought of wading through so many terrible options just doesn't seem worth it. One lucky thing, being a bit of a shrimp - barely over 5 feet - I can scan through the jeans in the children's section! The ones you found look great and lend me some new motivation...!

meow! awesome find :)
ReplyDeleteone of my jean jackets (late 90s-2011) was by lucky, I think and wish i wouldve kept the label with the 'proudly made in the USA' or something like that it said. it was so broken-in and comfy, I wore that thing to the ground +over the years it pretty much disintegrated into memory. I miss it, a little. :))
AWESOME. In the true sense of the word. I am in awe of your find!
ReplyDeleteThose rule! I agree, pants/jeans at the thrift store is a herculean effort. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Your blog has me in the mind-set to be especially excited when I find Made in USA stuffs. :)
