I wouldn't pay $198 for any pair of jeans, but that is because there are other things I like to do with my money :)

NO...I don't go for the ripped look. And I have pooches that would hang over the waistband. If I could look like the mannequin in them, I might. Then again, if I could look like the mannequin in them, I could probably look that good in jeans a lot cheaper!

Never! I wouldn't even pay $10 for that pair! I'm not a fan of the "ready for the rag pile" type of jeans.:?

Not that particular pair, but I have considered paying $150 for jeans. I have an EXTREMELY hard time finding jeans that fit me right. First of all I have very long legs so they have to come in "tall" or "long" which is rare. Next is my bootie... if I get them to fit that then I can fit an extra person in the waistband... LOL! Out of desperation a few years ago I did say I'd spend up to $150 if I could find a pair that fit me good. Luckily I only had to spend $70, which is still way more than I really wanted to, but they're my only pair that fit me and look half way decent.

No, but I've spent what most people (especially non-scrappers) would consider a ridiculous amount of money on scrap supplies, so to each his own, you know? I'm sure the people that would dish out $200 on those jeans would think it was pretty stupid to pay $6 for a pack of paper prima flowers, which I did on my last ACOT order.


Anyway, I have tried on expensive jeans before, and let me tell you, there is a difference. I think that in the case of jeans, more money = a better fit and cuter. That being said, it's not worth it to me. I buy the same Levi's 518 superlow boot cut jeans off of ebay each time I need a new pair!

I'm in the "comfort-waist" phase of my life, so these aren't for me. :-D

no, but i would pay to find jeans that fit. I wear a small size, but need them long...and they aren't in stores, so I have to order online, and now even Gap isn't carrying my size in most jeans. :( :(

I wouldn't pay that much for any jeans, but I'm passed the cute butt phase of my life and into strictly comfort, which means (don't cringe) elastic waist jeans for me.

No, I would not pay that much for a pair of jeans. But ones that look like the beach bottle spilled on them, I just don't like that look .

No, I'm good at ripping them all on my own without help... I have 4 pairs I've ripped in the past two years. I still wear them even ripped. I buy my jeans at the buckle so they are a bit expensive. I end up paying 50-85$ a pair. They have the perfect fit/comfortable for me. They go waist by length by stretch. And with my body that is what works. I use to be walmart jeans kinda girl. But they never fit right. I'm much happier in my jeans and I think that is important. I'm also one that wears the same jeans for about 10 years till they are rags before I let them go. So I think I get my money's worth. (I wear jeans everyday)

No way! I don't go for that ripped look. If the jeans fit really great and looked fantastic on me, I would consider a high price, but not if they were ripped like that.

You're probably right. My fine a$$ would look good in a trash bag.
