You could try H&M jeans? They're relatively cheap and I think better quality than Forever21 (I bought a pair of $10 jeans from them and they turned my dryer blue.) Also, as obnoxious as Hollister is, their jeans are sooo comfy. They're kind of expensive now, but when there's a sale you can get a pair for around $20.

I'm definitely going to be taking some old clothes to the local consignment, so I'll definitely be doing that when I have the time :P

There's no H&M's local, unfortunately, and I want to try jeans on :P buying online isn't really a good idea with pants.

Have you tried Maurices, I've gotten a pair for thirty dollars awhile back and they are pretty comfortable (I had to wear them on a 12 hour bus ride and they were actually comfy). Also JcPenny's is pretty good.

I used to get jeans at PacSun when they were on sale for $25 apiece. That was one of the few brands that fit me right off the rack (though I'm a few sizes larger than you, so YMMV). I think the stores around me stopped selling the brands that fit me, though. :/ They might still have jeans worth considering, though, if you can find a store near you.

lmao mine are like freaking missiles, I'm pretty sure they could take out an eye.

also OMG WHAT JC PENNEYS IS PHASING OUT ARIZONA? THAT'S MY FAVOURITE BRAND FROM THERE.

That's what it seemed like when I went to the store in town... where they were usually at for sale they were marked down to $10 and the whole wall was being taken down. I wish I had gotten there earlier. I LOVE their jeans.

noooooooo if they've gotten rid of Arizona I'm gonna cry forever. I love all their stuff. It's basic and normal and cute and cheap.
