Dear Goldie,

People can come at me for buying fast fashion, but I just really like the Universal Thread jeans at Target. They're cheap, a bit stretchy, have tons of different styles and colors, and just work perfectly as closet staples. My pairs tend to last about 2 years before they wear holes where my thighs rub together (the STRUGGLE). I do a lot of walking, and I'm okay with this duration for the price. I like the skinny high waisted ones and always have one pair of black jeans, one pair of dark blue, and one pair of mid-light wash.

Thanks to quarantine, I've also gained an appreciation for leggings, and American Eagle is a great place to get super basic non-exercise ones. They go on sale frequently.

As for my *favorite* pair of jeans, I bought those from Bohme, they have some super cute paper-bag pants and such - those tend to get more expensive but having a pair or two of fancy pants is totally worth it.

Cheers,
