After coming across this pair of distressed jeans from J. Crew, I had to wonder: Do people really buy this stuff?! I mean, the concept isn’t nearly as outlandish as the $10,000 Bedazzled jeans that Meagan wrote about, but still - $135 for jeans that are already faded and ripped?! (I’m sorry, I mean "strategically shredded.") If you just wear your jeans enough, trust me, they’ll eventually shred on their own, strategically or otherwise. Or if you love the look but lack the patience, you could easily pick up a worn-in secondhand pair at a thrift store in the $5-$10 range. Of course, you know where I stand on this issue; when it comes to jeans, the less I have to pay, the happier I am ($13.48? Yes, please!). But what do you think? Is the splurge worth it?
