I’ve been searching online for the past 45 minutes for the perfect denim jacket for spring. And I think I found it. I adore everything about it except for the price (of course…isn’t it always that way???).

Let’s get the price out of the way: $119.50. Is that a crazy high price? Yes? No? Maybe so?

But think about it: you wear jackets A LOT. And this one can look dressy (because it’s black) or totally tough (because it’s black) or slimming (because it’s black!). I love that it has a cool zipper instead of buttons. And I love that it is perfect for a layered look. Around here, the temperature can shift by 40 degrees throughout the day in the spring, so layering is sort of essential.

So tell me, do you ever “invest” in more expensive pieces like this, or keep it as cheap as possible, all the time? Or is the price totally reasonable to you? Let me hear from you! 

dENiZEN Brand of Jeans Launched by Levis at Target

· by · 4 Comments

Tim just got a new pair of jeans, and he is feeling oh-so-trendy right now. The line is called dENiZEN, and it is the first brand launched outside of the United States by Levi Strauss & Co.  It has had great success throughout Asia and is now being brought back to the birthplace of denim. You can only find it at Target stores and Target.com.

The collection is filled to the brim with fashion-forward styles and washes. And the price point is going to put a smile on your face, as the range is from $17.99 – $29.99. You read that correctly, my friend!

According to the dENiZen SVP/GM for the United States, “We’ve created unique styles specifically for consumers who are looking for exceptional style and fit at great value.” Um yes, that would be me! And I think they’ve hit the nail on the head.

Tim has the Slim Straight jeans, and they look smashing on him! He’s a lean fellow, and while he reports that the more fitted jeans aren’t as comfortable as the baggy stuff he’s been wearing for, oh I don’t know, 15 years, even he admits that he does look rather fetching in his new threads. 🙂 I think he looks very updated. I love the fit and I love the wash of the jeans. A+, dENiZEN!

I’m so impressed, in fact, that now I’m planning a trip out to Target to check out the women’s line for myself. I can’t have Tim outshining me on the catwalk (and by catwalk, I mean the long hallway in our house…)! The Totally Shaping at Waist jean is calling my name: hello tummy control! I may just have to try on every style to see what I like best.

During your next trip to Target, be sure to swing by the clothes section and check out these new fabulous and fabulously-priced jeans. Also, be sure to fan dENiZEN on Facebook: they have a special thank  you for new fans that is not-to-miss!
