went to bloomies at NYC yesterday. my resolution right before WLS was that if ever get to size 27 waste, i'll buy that classic pair of 7th for all humanity (overpriced, i know, but that was one of my minor insentives. well, i tried to do just that. tried on 27th, the salesperson laughted and brough me 26 and 25 instead. 25 looked pretty good but they made me try on size 24 waste and it looked perfect so i bougth it. that was the best confidence boosting 150 i evet spent. i still can't believe it!!!! i'll be wearing those every day--they look HOT even on me

Marshalls where I live has been having premium denium - 7 for all mankind, paper cloth denim, joes jeans and rock & republic. I spent $100 on a pair of 7 for all mankind... not only that but they are too long *if* I keep them I have to take them to get altered! lol. Good butt jeans are always worth the $$ IMO!

btw., have your 7th altered at your dry cleaner's (cheaper) and make sure you bring the highest hills you are going to wear them with

the marshalls in my area doesn't carry any designer brands :(. however, in addition to the $150 7th pair i also grabbed another 7th pair from a clearance rack (not as trendy, but can't go worng with 7th for 45 box). like you i'll need to have both pair altered. i'm 5'4 and they all come w/34 inseam and i'll need 30-32 max. but like you said--if your butt looks awesome, it's worth every penny. especially, unlike most people, we ******g EARNED our new fabolous bodies, damn it. love, nat

Bekah, I'trade places w/you in a second. I won't be able to afford PS for at least a year or two so an expensive pair that made my butt look really good is as close as i'm getting to a lower body lift for a while:) i also need to have my boobs done and a tummy tuck would be great as well. of well, someday...sigh

I look at it this way when I splurge on a clothing item--I think about all the money I used to totally waste on pure junk food--which no one in my family even saw because I hogged it all myself!
