Isn't that nice for you that you can afford all the extremely expensive designer brands.

You know, there's a nicer way of sharing what you love and recommend to others, without a bragging or boasting tone.

I'm sure you're a nice and helpful person but... just sayin'.

You're not just sayin......You are saying it. I didn't put the price anywhere in the post.

Rag & Bone is a good brand for those who need -- or prefer -- a slim fit, so no argument there. If the price range is out of your league and you're interested, check Off Fifth (Saks outlet) or Nordstrom Rack (if your area has those stores) for discounted Rag & Bone items.

Huh?

How was she bragging? She shared a find that she loved. NO bragging or boasting about it.

I appreciate your constructive criticism, Song, but designer name-dropping is like listing high prices IMHO, and the exclusivity of the brands. Most people cannot afford them.

I'm all about inclusiveness, if that makes any sense, although I do appreciate a well-made jean; I adore denim in general. And I like Rag & Bone's and some of the other designers' clothing lines.

You can get them for half price or less at The Rack online. Doesn't have to be R & B. Any kind of premium jean. You have to act fast though. Highly competitive because other people online hunting for them. If your size is not available, move on to the next. Put in what you want. Doesn't have to skinny. They have skinny, boot cut, flairs, straight, cigarette cut. You name it. A lot of people online trying to get them. If for some reason it doesn't fit, bring it back to any Nordstorm store. Inclusive does mean a good quality piece of clothing that is made in the U.S.A at a reasonable price.

i just don't get it. why is it that so many times on these forum boards people will post such innocent things & they turn out to be so evil & nasty? why can't a person just post something without anyone adding nasty & evil comments. if you don't have something nice or positive to say, then perhaps your comments are better left unsaid on these boards. we're grown woman. is it really necessary to be so petty & use such hurtful & harsh comments? some of the negative comments you woman post seem to express a lot of built up anger & hatred that you have deep inside of you & i really don't think this is the place for you to express it. i can't imagine what could cause any person to have that much hatred in them! because let me tell you, in some of your posts you really go for the jugular. and for what? a qvc post. it's so crazy, it's just not worth it. rather then post something cruel, just be the bigger person, & don't post anything. can't we all just try to be civil towards one another? and please don't think i'm some kind of goody-goody two shoes bc i'm not. i had my share of posting 3 horrid posts & have since learned my lesson & havn't posted any nasty posts since. please just think before you hit the "submit" button. i hope you all have a nice day. & please don't hate me for writing this, i realize we can't all agree on everything, but can't we at least be able to say hello without being rude to one another? thank you & i sincerely hope i didn't offend anyone.

I think it's because self-importance, arrogance, and entitlement are at all-time highs in our society, and ever-increasing unfortunately. People are more and more making snap judgments and assumptions just based on outer appearances.

And it's also because some posters on the Q boards often do post 'look at me' threads because they actually feel those negative traits above and/or need attention, and it often makes others feel 'less than'.

BTW, I'm so not an "evil" or "nasty" person; actually a highly-sensitive, naturally-empathetic one.

Thanks for "The Rack" tip and other recommendations.

Ebay is also good for off-price premium items of any kind, not just clothing. And Piperlime's SALE section often has decent prices on designer denim and other stuff.

Doing a Google search is helpful as well, since you could find stores that offer promos and coupon codes at wwwretailmenot.com (fantastic site to bookmark or fave). You can get on their email list for specific alerts, too.

I'm all for USA-made anything, but know that actual reality is different, and that 'made in the USA' often costs more than some can afford. The trick is to be thorough and persistent in locating those vendors who offer reasonable prices.

I also try to keep in mind that foreigners also need jobs to take care of themselves and their dependents. And many of them reside in countries that are nowhere near as wealthy, free, and safe (overall) as America is.

There are people on this earth that were born with skinny hips and small rear. Add a flat tummy and I'm one of them. Skinny jeans were made for me.

Well pass the chip and dip!

OMG! I just fell off my chair in fits of laughter?

Good one?
