Burrell, I get my boot cut, don't-need-a-belt jeans at Lucky (thanks for the hookup, Kat--still buying the same style you helped me with oh so long ago). They have a decent range of styles, and none of the others look halfway decent on me. I tried Banana Republic boot cut, and they again weren't me, which makes me think that between them there's a fair range. I think one pair cost over $80, the rest were $79 and down. Way more than I'd ever thought to pay on jeans, but they do look proportionally better on me, so...
I should try on a pair of skinny jeans, but I can't imagine owning them. I feel pretty confident that the waistband will show much crack when I bend on most styles.
He went to McGill. A bit before you, I guess?
He was around when I was there--he was post-grad at the time. He was just a guy until he invented Archie, and then he was a nifty guy, but he never TAed or taught any classes I took, though.
I found the thread where Allyson and Jesse come up with the idea for Good Stuff:

I have been looking for a decent pair of boot cut jeans that fit well and flatter and don't cost $200 for 3 years now. Fucking skinny jeans can bite me.
I'm a Prime member, so I buy from Amazon willy-nilly (and then return what I don't like), but I've found that the Calvin Klein bootcuts are a) flattering b) comfy and c) durable. And they tend to be $70 or less.
I don't think I've ever paid $70 for an item of clothing that was my own money.
Skipping yet again because, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is aurelia's birthday.
Happy birthday, aurelia! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
Casper is 10, and for shoes we are firmly in the women's department (size 8). But while she is close to five feet tall, she is still built like a 10 year old - I happen to have measured her recently, and she's about 24-22-24. Adult clothes would swim on her still. (For comparison, J Crew's size 00 assumes a 34 inch hip.) I suppose I could try the "juniors" section of a department store, but then we are back into the "clothes styled for teenagers" problem.
I am honestly considering trying to talk her into boys' corduroy pants.
Birthday Happies, aurelia!
Happy birthday, aurelia! With cake!
