$5.00 jeans

I bbought a fabulous pair of jeans upstaris in Filene's Department Store in Boston about 6 years ago.  They have a lovely embroidered vine up the side.  They cost $5.  Whenever I wear them, I get a compliment.  I hadn't worn them in about 5 months and decided to wear them on the plane coming down to Charlotte from Boston and I got a compliment on them.  If I had known how well they would fit, hold their shape and color, I would have bought the other styles they had that day.
I do feel a bit of guilt because I can only imagine how little the woman who made them was paid.

The other fine was a pair of authentic navy wool sailots pants in a thrift shop for $15.00.

Happy thrifting
