Ok, so you're looking at my butt again today.
But I just had to show you the ab fab detail on the pocket of my 'new' thrifted Pepe Jeans.
Aren't they boho chic?
Pepe Jeans is a London-based company and I'm betting their wares aren't cheap - haven't researched yet but I remember buying a pair 20 years ago and they were $$$.
These were $7.99 at Stretch Thrift.
I almost didn't buy them for me because they were way too short in the leg and big around the waist.
But I couldn't leave 'em behind. A belt solved the waist prob and some high heeled booties funkify the short factor, don't you think?
I love Pepe's roots: the company was started in 1973 bytwo brothers who sold their denim along London roadsides before hitting the bigtime.
The denim is so sturdy, and the detailing so wonderful, that I can understand why peeps spend hundreds of bucks on designer denim.
But they may not know the secret of shopping thrift. I buy all my denim at thrift shops and have found some excellent jeans, including Paige denim. Bongo jeans, though they are on the lower end of the jean scale, fit me so well and I always pick 'em up for $4.99-$6.99 a pair.
