There's something about a pair of expensive jeans.

There's a reason they cost so much. You slip on a pair of denim that has a $225 price tag and you will see–You are a MODEL now. You are SO THIN. Where's the paparazzi, because you my friend look INCREDIBLE. So this is why I dropped $70 on a pair of stolen True Religions on the corner of 6th Avenue and 22nd Street. These jeans usually cost half my rent. Yet there they were, my size and everything, waiting for me on the street for only seventy dollars. So of course I did what any fiscally irresponsible 24-year-old would do. I dipped into my emergency fund and bought jeans from a homeless guy who I'm sure had just lifted them from the Bloomingdale's stock truck.

I put these babies on and I feel like a rock star. I can do anything! I am so awesome!

(PS: Not my butt above)

I thought I would be content with this purchase. I finally had Expensive Jeans sharing closet space with my assortment of standbys from Express, the Gap and of course, my favorite Levis. Because I am cheap, I never pay more than $29.99 for blue jeans so the fact the a $70 pair was making its home with me was something short of a miracle.

But alas, reader, I was not content. Which is why I found myself at Urban Outfitters yesterday rummaging through the sale section they try to hide on the lower level. This time the brand was Hudson and I didn't care if I had to paw through every item on clearance I was determined to find my size. If you want to get me into a store all you have to do is say that it's 50% off the already redlined price. That phrase is music to my money starved ears. So imagine my surprise when I saw that Hudson jeans were a part of this magical sale. These kickers usually top in at $150 but with the sale I could get a pair for only $50. Sure $25 would have been a lot better but beggars can't be choosers. And quite the beggar I was last night. I went to the dressing room about a million times before I found the right fit.

But I found them. And they make me feel incredible.

Watch out New York. Brandy's got her new jeans on.
