I don't get the whole dirty-jeans-trend that is going around. You can pay more to buy a pair of jeans that look like they have been worn before. And not just worn once...worn many times and not washed so they have that dirty grimy appearance. A few months ago, Shane jumped on the band wagon and got a pair of the overpriced dirty jeans. I liked them. He looked very cute in them. He wore them, I washed them. All the dirt that we paid extra for was washed away. They are clean jeans now. I don't get it. I bought a pair myself last week when we were on vacation. They have been washed once and are already looking much cleaner. It doesn't make sense to me that they are selling these already dirty jeans, and charging more for them than for the still clean ones, and that all the dirt comes off in the first wash. What's the point? If they want to sell dirty jeans, at least get them dirty in something that will last and stain. Anyway, I was just happy to find a pair of jeans that fit. And that they were a size 6.
