Is £39.99 a lot of money for a pair of jeans?

[Sheraz]

Don't normally spend so much, but fell in love with pair of black sparkly jeans in River Island. Now having guilt pangs, but I can wear them to Xmas do - and cheaper than a dress. Reassure me please?

not if you're going to wear them a lot eg cost per wear, or not if you're loaded.

I think how many days pay something costs, then how much I'm going to wear it...then I buy it anyway

if it were for your daughter who would grow out of it or grow sick of it in 5 minutes I'd say it's a lot of money, but if you find a pair of jeans that make you look & feel good buy 'em

That's not expensive, unless you only wear them once.

river island jeans are fab. they wear really well too. definitely worth the money!

i would get more wear out of them than a dress for a crimbo do. can be worn with sandals in summner also. bargain if you ask me

No, I think that's quite a reasonable price if you are likely to wear them a lot.

TBH you can wear them FAR more than a dress, I would say yes, not that much. If you spent that on a posh dress no-one owuld think it was expensive.

Thanks for that i am a jeans girl rea;;y, never wear skirts and dresses. I am going to wear them next week to see the Scissor sisters, hope to be sassy and funky!

get yourself one of them bags sheraz, seeing as you love em and all

Are they organic and fairly traded?

I dont think so... but I wear my jeans to death I nearly bought some for £40 in Topshop, but did feel bad and looked around and round some cheaper that I actually preffered... but if I totally loved some, I think id buy them.

Organic? ! No they are so darkly black dyed they have a warning triangle on them!

LOL @ sheraz... WASH before use!

Sounds diconcerting Q!

River Island jeans ARE fab but those sparkly ones don't wash well. I bought some dark blue ones that were sparkly and washed them and they got ruined so took them back but the second pair did the same. Couldn't be arsed to return them again.....

If they make you feel great and you will wear them loads then they are def worth it.

My dh bought me some billabong jeans in the summer. would NEVER have bought them myself but they make me feel good and put a spring in my step!

£39.99 is not a lot to pay for a pair of jeans.

I am worth it!

Blimey, £40 for a pair of jeans is cheap in my book. I buy mine either from Levi's (about £60 a pair) or French Connection (£65 a pair). But I wear jeans to death and they HAVE to be the perfect, flattering fit and cut for me so I don't mind paying for it.
