I love these jeans. They have been a standby since I bought them my senior year of college. My weight over the past six years has fluctuated over a 15-20 lb. range, and yet these always seem to fit. Gotta love denim.
They only have one problem: the button eats up my clothes. The roughness or sharpness or something has rubbed little holes through so many tanks and tees that I stopped keeping track years ago. So it is with great risk that I wear these jeans with one of my new favorite tops, which I found marked down to $15 (from $98) at the Houston Galleria. I'm on the lookout for a new pair of go-to jeans that won't eat my other clothing, but nothing has fit the bill just yet. I'm also trying clear nail polish on the button, which I heard helps.
Do you own any destructive clothing? How do you minimize the destruction?
I had a pair of jeans with a button that damaged shirts, and I just replaced the button with a smoother one that I had. Button-replacing is an easy sewing task. Try it before you get rid of those nice jeans!
ReplyDeleteOoo that is rough! Especially when it's a favourite pair of jeans that is causing the issue. I like Megan's suggestion of the button replacement!!
ReplyDeleteOh no! I love your sparkle top! You tell that button to behave itself!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that top, Angeline - plus, it looks great on you! I love all things sparkly - what a fun way to spruce up a pair of jeans.
ReplyDeleteI had a pair of jeans where the button ruined my shirts too. I don't have a clever solution--I just threw out the jeans. I have no mercy for evil clothes. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
@ meghan - I've never even thought of replacing the button! sounds like it would work great. I'll look into it...thanks for the tip!
ReplyDelete@ sorren - seriously...bad jeans i have no patience for, but good jeans are so hard to find!
@ Barbara - Thanks! I love sparkles, too. :)
Love the top))
ReplyDeleteI think that replacing the button will solve your problem - it's not gonna cost you much))
