Well I won't starve myself, but I will eventually reward myself with expensive jeans.
Which brand do you recommend?

Slightly OT, but I caught the tail end "What Not To Wear" on TLC today, and this lady who was a typical "mom-turned-glam" type came out to show off her new clothes, and the hosts went on and on about how good she looked (because she did), but then they went on to say that her pants cost $160, and her shirt cost $200. I'm still an undergrad, and I would never DREAM of spending that kind of money on clothes. I remember one time, in my last year of high school, I splurged and spent $72 on a pair of American Eagle jeans that I thought were cute (boot-cut, dirty denim look, back when it was cool--I think that lasted for what, six months or so?), for back to school, and then when I wore them to school on the first day, EVERY GIRL IN SCHOOL had jeans EXACTLY like mine. What's more, the jeans I had bought were completely worn out by Christmas time. So, while "What Not To Wear" can be a fun diversion, sometimes, I just want to strangle the people on that show for being so wasteful....I mean, $360 could buy a whole bunch of really nice clothes from say, Old Navy. But hey, since I've never worn really expensive jeans, I guess I don't really understand the appeal......is there really a huge difference? Seriously, I'm curious.
