Well you would need to buy two pairs of jeans, one pair for the front legs and one pair for the back legs

Nope. If you like jeans and know they will fit you right then buy up I say.

Hmmm. Interesting. Clothes horse eh? Well now. If you paid under $20 for a pair of jeans that fit you did good. Guess you are a savvy shopper even if you didn't mean to be. LOL

OMG! That is the regular price for those jeans, pony! You got rooked but good! At the very least, please put the Target app on your phone and check the in-store price against the online price before paying for them! Target, K-Mart and Walmart will all match their online prices in the stores now! (smh!)

If I'm shopping for clothes and only end up with 2 things, I consider it a bad shopping day! Ha! I'm a little bit clothing obsessed though. It's not uncommon for me to spend $100 on clothes at once, and I usually only buy clothes that are on sale.

@TheHorse...clothes horse? Oh now that's a good one. What a buy!!!! I think I've still got some jeans in my closet from when I was 16. You did good. I have such a hard time getting jeans to fit. I've got a 26" waist-line and a 34" inseam. If the waist fits, then they're too short. If they're long enough, then I need suspenders and a belt to hold them up. Geez!!

I'm not much of a clothes buyer, so when I do I love finding a bargain and something I love all in one fell swoop. I got a fluffy warm sweater last week and have worn it a lot since it has been cold here. It's nice to have something new every once in a while (for me about once a season I get one thing.)
