Looking Fly on a Dime: Top Brands for Affordable, Quality Denim
Though I'm usually a dress kinda girl {did you see my last Thrifty Threads bodycon dress post!?}, I also love a good skinny jean. They're super comfortable and easily dress up or down.
I've thrifted a few pairs of great jeans, but I always have an issue with finding quality denim that fits. I'm petite {only 5'2"} but I've got a little booty and some thighs, so avoiding the dreaded waist gap is an issue.
