I see you’re a Ann Taylor, Banana Republic type of girl.
I would have to say I spend about $90 bucks on a pair of trousers at BR. I don’t mind paying that price for quality!
Yes, it is hard to find a good pair of pants.
One time when I went to Banana Republic, the sales girl was asking me how much I spend a year there, because you get free shipping and alterations if you spend $800 a year or something. I said I certainly hope I don’t spend $800 a year at Banana Republic! That is crazy! Maybe if I bought all my clothes there, but still!
