Indulge me...
I wear jeans most days in the autumn/ winter, and on most nights out I go on too. (not that I go on many but still).
So it really matters to me to have flattering, well cut jeans. I'm a size 14 with a short leg btw, and need all the help I can get. About 6 years ago, I bought a pair of jeans from River Island that I really liked - they were nothing special on the hanger, just ordinary stretch bootcuts with a bit of strategic fading, but as I wore them I liked them so much I went back and bought a second identical pair.
Fast forward 6 years and I wish I had bought ten pairs when I had the chance! They have proved to be my all time, life long favourite jeans and I swear they take half a stone off me. Meanwhile, feel my agony as the two pairs I did buy fade and fray until near breaking point. Needless to say no other jeans, even from RI, have come close.
So please share my joy at now - all these years later - finding TWO of these pairs of exact jeans in my size, in new condition, on ebay!!! I have received them now and am practically dancing with joy - I feel as if my wardrobe has been given a 'second chance of happiness'.
And at roughly ten quid each a pop I am just beside myself. I'll keep an eye out for even more now, so I can wear these jeans until I die.
And it's a virtuous circle as I didn't create more landfill and all my guff, ill fitting jeans can go promptly to the charity shop.
YAY EBAY!!! What on earth did we do without it
