I almost never wear jeans, and own only two pairs--one that my brother gave me as a gift, because he wanted to see if I could dress casually, and the other a pair of striped blue/yellow jeans that I bought at Express for $5 back in 2003. I'm super-sad because they're getting rapidly worn out, and I have no idea what I'll do when they're gone.</p> Dude, I love the Express sales.
