I Love.....Part II in the "I Love" Series

Part I is here

I love a good fitting pair of jeans. Who doesn't? There's just something about a pair of jeans that fits you just right. Not too tight, not too baggy, doesn't gap in the back of the waist, hugs all the right curves without cutting off your circulation, the perfect shade of blue with factory fading done just so, and the length......not so long that they're dragging on the ground behind you, and not so short that they look dorky with a pair of boots with heels. These jeans simply make you feel good when you wear them. And I'm here to say that said jeans don't have to cost $200 either.

Well, I admit I've never actually tried on a pair of $200 jeans, and I'm sure I'd eventually find a $200 pair of jeans that fit just right, but since I could buy half a wardrobe on $200, I settled for trying on a pair of $48 Apt. 9 jeans at Kohl's this past September that were on clearance for $19.98. And they fit perfect, even the length which is often a problem for me since I'm 5'3.5". Petite lengths are too short (which run up to 5'3") and average lengths are too long (which run from 5'4" and up). My height isn't on the radar of clothing manufacturers. I usually settle for average lengths with them dragging on the ground because I really can't stand pants and jeans that are too short.

Anyway, these Apt. 9 jeans? I Love Them. And I fell head over heals with them when they rang up at $9.00 at the register. What's not to love?
