I really like all the pairs you bought this month.

I also throw in one of those color catchers every time I wash them and it always comes out burgundy. Just something to keep in mind. I'll be happy if I get them to last at least through next fall/winter (though as long as I'm not clumsy they should be mostly okay...haha).<br /><br />xo KimiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429381541485535750.post-3374906628779638702015-03-27T20:10:52.179-07:002015-03-27T20:10:52.179-07:00Can't wait to see your budget post this month!...Can't wait to see your budget post this month! How do you know the color will wash out eventually? Is your pair fading? I wore the black pair again earlier today and noticed a little bit of crocking on my white tee. It's making me think twice about whether I should keep the olive pair.Engineer Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469282997983032376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429381541485535750.post-34151637373135831332015-03-27T20:00:56.991-07:002015-03-27T20:00:56.991-07:00I would recommend trying on the sateen jeans in pe...I would recommend trying on the sateen jeans in person if you can so that you don't accidentally waste your coupon. If I had a coupon, I would go look for the skinny skinny jeans in pure white.

They have a ton of different washes, and for me, the fit is always spot on. Most of them seem true to size, although sometimes I need to size up if the reviews indicate something runs small.Engineer Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469282997983032376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429381541485535750.post-6291460173369252592015-03-27T18:29:52.752-07:002015-03-27T18:29:52.752-07:00Great buys this month!

I love the color but it seems like it will wash out eventually, which is a bummer (but maybe to be expected?). I think it's great that you got so many pairs of jeans because I bought two bags this month and that's one item I rarely buy, haha! Now I don't feel so alone. :)<br /><br />xo KimiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429381541485535750.post-20908970525694100502015-03-27T17:46:21.965-07:002015-03-27T17:46:21.965-07:00I have to say, I agree re the Parker toothpicks, ...I have to say, I agree re the Parker toothpicks, I absolutely love them. Out of all my toothpicks they stretch out the least. I have yet to try Madewell jeans, but do have a coupon to use. Should I try the style you did? I think Fran suggested them too. Thanks!
