It's hard finding a pair that fit well after kids, so maybe I'll take a look at second hand and sales. Still can't see myself spending over $80 and I'd have to be majorly in love with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-would-you-spend-on-a-pair-of-jeans/page/2#post-2408162 Sun, 03 Jan 2016 23:27:26 +0000 fussygal 2408162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've spent $70 a few times, but I usually average around $50. Even then I have to reeeeeallly like them. Maybe once my weight evens out after having kids I'll spend more on some quality pieces. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-would-you-spend-on-a-pair-of-jeans/page/2#post-2408144 Sun, 03 Jan 2016 22:58:22 +0000 Ree723 2408144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just had to finally retire my favourite DKNY jeans that I think I've worn probably 2000 times in the six years I've had them! I loved them and I think they were $60 at Macy's, which is about the norm for what I've always spent on normal jeans. Other than that, I buy my skinny jeans at H&amp;M for £20 ($35 USD) and they fit great.</p> <p>I'll be in the market for a new pair after this baby/breastfeeding journey and will be happy to spend up to £100 but not more than that. My frugal nature just won't let me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-would-you-spend-on-a-pair-of-jeans/page/2#post-2408137 Sun, 03 Jan 2016 22:51:05 +0000 pinkcupcake 2408137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre-kid/mortgage/all these additional responsibilities - I had no problem spending $200 on a pair of jeans</p> <p>Now - I haven't spent over $40 in years. My favorites are ON elastic band jeggings that I got for $15. They fit so well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-would-you-spend-on-a-pair-of-jeans/page/2#post-2408131 Sun, 03 Jan 2016 22:45:08 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2408131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine range from $40-$110 but I'm typically in the $40-$50 range. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-would-you-spend-on-a-pair-of-jeans/page/2#post-2406958 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 22:26:55 +0000 Greentea 2406958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've spent $200 before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-would-you-spend-on-a-pair-of-jeans/page/2#post-2406945 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 22:01:25 +0000 Finfan 2406945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only get jeans at old navy so whatever they charge. I can't wear jeans to work and I would rather wear leggings at home or running errands so I usually have one cheap pair of ON jeans for other occasions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-would-you-spend-on-a-pair-of-jeans/page/2#post-2406923 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 21:32:25 +0000 mediagirl 2406923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Jeans are one of my luxury items. I have one nice pair that cost $80 on sale. I just ordered another pair on deep sale for $60 and was psyched to find them so cheap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-would-you-spend-on-a-pair-of-jeans/page/2#post-2406911 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 21:12:03 +0000 Meowkers 2406911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$200-$250 is my limit. Jeans are the single piece of clothing I wear the most so I'm willing to spend $$$ to get great fitting ones. That being said, I find great deals on brand name jeans at Nordstrom Rack. Usually under $100. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-would-you-spend-on-a-pair-of-jeans/page/2#post-2406910 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 21:11:04 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2406910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$100 is my max, but most often my jeans cost $60-70. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-would-you-spend-on-a-pair-of-jeans/page/2#post-2406833 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 19:30:07 +0000 Mrs. Pink 2406833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tend to wait for BOGO 50% off sales etc. and buy at Torrid, they fit me the best! I think the one full price I bought sans 2nd pair at half off was $70? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-would-you-spend-on-a-pair-of-jeans/page/2#post-2406763 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 18:21:50 +0000 Bao 2406763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: woah!!! I don't really shop there so don't keep up on the sales, if you see one and remember can you let me know?! :) that would be awesome. Should I sign up for emails, is that how you get coupons? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-would-you-spend-on-a-pair-of-jeans/page/2#post-2406761 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 18:17:55 +0000 rachiecakes 2406761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: hold out for a sale &amp; the also combine coupons! I just got a pair of the leggings jeans reg. $79 for $24 shipped last month. It was a 50% off sale + free shipping and $15 off of $30 coupon. They have this sale all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-would-you-spend-on-a-pair-of-jeans/page/2#post-2406757 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 18:11:07 +0000 Bao 2406757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinpye: @rachiecakes: that's the brand I'm referring to, Express! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-would-you-spend-on-a-pair-of-jeans/page/2#post-2406755 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 18:08:32 +0000 rachiecakes 2406755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I used to love my designer denim pre-baby.<br /> My body is totally different, bigger hips, non-existent butt so the cuts I used to wear don't work anymore. Not to mention I'm always yo-yo-ing 10lbs in either direction. I've been getting Express jeans on sale for the past 4 years. $50. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-would-you-spend-on-a-pair-of-jeans#post-2406714 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 17:28:43 +0000 Torchwood 2406714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly? Not sure I've spent more than $5 in... 10 years? Maybe more? I shop at thrift stores. I've had consistently better luck than at any "real" store I've tried. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-would-you-spend-on-a-pair-of-jeans#post-2406691 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 16:48:24 +0000 erinpye 2406691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To get them long enough (35" inseam, 36" if I want to ever wear heels), I usually have to get designer which are made to be hemmed, and then not hem them, so at the Rack they're still easily $100+. Lots of places have started carrying Tall, but they aren't flattering. I do love my tall legging jeans from Express, and I think they were $80 or $90, a pretty good deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-would-you-spend-on-a-pair-of-jeans#post-2406690 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 16:46:24 +0000 Tanjowen 2406690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spent $100 a pop on designer jeans that were on sale and 7 years later they still fit great, no holes or tears and I still receive compliments when I wear them. I'd happily pay up to $250 a pair knowing they hold up so well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-would-you-spend-on-a-pair-of-jeans#post-2406683 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 16:39:50 +0000 mrskc 2406683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before I became a SAHM, I would spend 100-150 on jeans. I wore them everyday for work tho. Now, I'll spend max like $30. I only like to buy the ON jeggings with the elastic waist. So comfy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-would-you-spend-on-a-pair-of-jeans#post-2406667 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 16:18:54 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2406667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so frugal I didn't even know jeans could cost *several* hundred dollars! :shocked: I generally only shop at TJ Maxx, Ross, Marshalls or consignment/thrift stores &amp; I feel like I have a nice enough wardrobe of reasonably well fitting clothes. I could not in good conscience see myself spending more than $50 on a pair of jeans. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-would-you-spend-on-a-pair-of-jeans#post-2406664 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 16:16:05 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2406664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre baby -100-125<br /> Post kids -80 but would consider spending a tad more. </p> <p>Cheap jeans are terrible on me. But spending a bit of money for two good pairs that will last a few years is perfect. Really I think I have about four pairs right now in two different sizes that were each like $40-50. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-would-you-spend-on-a-pair-of-jeans#post-2406660 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 16:10:16 +0000 HLK208 2406660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually buy them at the rack for $70-90. I try to have one nice pair that are around $150, and a few of the $70 pairs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-would-you-spend-on-a-pair-of-jeans#post-2406655 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 16:06:42 +0000 regberadaisy 2406655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$20 is my max. I usually buy jeans on sale at H&amp;M when they're $10-15. They fit my body type well and last me well over 2-3 years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-would-you-spend-on-a-pair-of-jeans#post-2406654 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 16:00:21 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2406654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would spend $90 if I loved them and expected to be in the same size and for them to last a long time. However I usually really like my Levis, and I get those on sale. They may not be "designer" quality but I've had them hold up pretty well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-would-you-spend-on-a-pair-of-jeans#post-2406652 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 15:55:45 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2406652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My jeans range from $20-200... my designer jeans have lasted me over 10 years (and I haven't bought any in 10 years)!! They're still going strong, so got more than my money's worth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-would-you-spend-on-a-pair-of-jeans#post-2406594 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 14:47:30 +0000 catomd00 2406594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Expensive jeans are one thing that's worth it to me. They always fit so well and last forever and get lots of wear, so I'll spend $250-300 on a pair. I only have like 3 pairs of jeans I wear on a regular basis though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-would-you-spend-on-a-pair-of-jeans#post-2406591 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 14:45:04 +0000 Corduroy 2406591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$100 which is a big splurge for me, especially when my weight is still fluctuating. After LO1 I tried on over 100 pairs of jeans to get something not terrible. After LO2 I got a personal shopper at Nordstrom. The money spent on jeans was worth avoiding all the post pregnancy pant shopping turmoil. I got two pairs $90 and $75 or so plus tailoring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-would-you-spend-on-a-pair-of-jeans#post-2406585 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 14:41:13 +0000 FaithFertility 2406585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$100 tops!!!!!<br /> But that was before mortgage, and LO!<br /> Maybe $50 now </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-would-you-spend-on-a-pair-of-jeans#post-2406584 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 14:39:25 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2406584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think designer jeans are a good investment. They will last forever. I have jeans that were over $200, but they were a splurge. I used to work at Nordstrom so I was all about designer denim!<br /> My favorite jeans now were $78 and $88.</p> <p>I have never found a cheap pair of jeans to be flattering. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-would-you-spend-on-a-pair-of-jeans#post-2406558 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 14:02:07 +0000 yin 2406558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Up to $50, but most of my jeans are probably in the $30 range. They have all held up well. I can't justify spending $100+. </p>
