I noticed today during LO's music class that my jeans are fading at the knees and starting to look worn. I have a pair of skinny jeans and a pair of trouser jeans but I want just some plain bootcut jeans and maybe a cropped pair for spring. I'm about a size 10 and a little curvier in the hips. Also, I don't want a low rise or a super high rise, just something in the middle (like a normal rise so I'm not hanging out but also not cinched at the waist since that just isn't flattering on me).

I've been buying Gap but a lot of the reviews say they changed the jeans and they're not as good anymore. So I'm willing to spend $50-70 if I need to but cheaper is better and I would prefer to stay at $40 or under.

So where do you get your favorite jeans?
