So last week I got an e-mail from a reader.
Here it is:
Hi Sheaffer!
I
wanted to tell you I love your blog so very much!
I stumbled upon it
right about the time of your magical Vigoss jeans discovery.
I almost
did not get them because they were distressed, but I did, and you were
100% right.
They are fantastic!
I bought them for my daughter as well
and she loves them too.
They are comfy and don't stretch. However when
I wear them I sometimes wish they weren't distressed so that I could
wear them to work. Well, have you seen the new ones on the site? You
probably have or have seen them in person, but I believe this pair is
almost the same but they are a "clean" cropped version. Could my dream
have come true? I want them to be the same so badly! I think they are a
couple of inches shorter according to the measurements, but I think
they are similar otherwise. I am going to pull the trigger on them
soon! This might be a good option for those who missed out or who are
leery of the distressing.
Thank
you for all of your time and attention to detail on your blog!
I have
enjoyed getting to love my closet full of clothes again!
Lisa
Thanks for the e-mail Lisa and for the sweet words about the blog!
When I read about your possible jeans discovery I got sooooooo excited.
I am absolutely OBSESSED with my first pair of Vigoss jeans, and judging by the amount of e-mail I've received from all of you that bought them too, I'm not the only one obsessed.
They really are AMAZING jeans, and everybody that bought them seems to be crazy over them!
Even girls who swear by designer jeans have written me saying they love these.
So, I headed to Nordstrom yesterday to try the new pair of jeans on that
Lisa had spotted online and mentioned to me.
And yes.
They are totally like the distressed pair we are all obsessed with, except they aren't distressed.
YOU GUYS!
THESE JEANS ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!
Click HERE for the jeans below.
THEY ARE ON SALE RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!
(Sorry the tag is attached. It was too hard to get off for the picture.)
These jeans fit perfectly, and I absolutely love the cuff at the bottom.
(These jeans are the #2 jeans in the collage below.)
Just for fun, I also threw several other pairs of Vigoss jeans in the dressing room.
And y'all. I'm so glad I did.
SOMETHING HAPPENED IN THAT DRESSING ROOM THAT WAS
NOTHING SHORT OF A MIRACLE.
I PUT ON 3 PAIRS OF JEANS, AND ALL 3 PAIRS OF JEANS WERE CUTE AND FIT GREAT.
What?
I was so confused.
THAT NEVER HAPPENS!
Shopping for jeans is soooooo hard....
and I usually have to try on like 15 pair to find one that I kinda like.....
and I tried on 3 pair and loved all 3 pair.
It was CRAZINESS!
ABSOLUTE MADNESS I tell ya!
In all seriousness, each pair of jeans I put on was soooooo cute.
For size reference, I am a size 4 right now in Loft and Gap, and I wore a 27 in each of these jeans.
Are you DYING over the bootcut jeans below?
Because I totally am.
I mean, look how awesome they are from the back!
(And by the way, I seriously almost pulled a muscle in my back trying to get the bootie shot.
Not even kidding.)
The bootcut jeans are HERE.
AND THEY ARE ALSO ON SALE!
Shay said they totally look like Hudsons from the back, and she's right!
(There
is also another pair of boot cut jeans that weren't in the store, but
they have a pocket that is embroidered. If you like an embroidered
pocket, you will love THESE.)
You guys...I don't have a good butt.....and these make my butt look good! Right?
They are so flattering from behind!
(These jeans are the #1 jeans in the collage below.)
Want a lighter colored pair?
No worries! Vigoss has you covered there too!
These next pair are skinny jeans without a cuff, and they are distressed.
The light colored distressed skinny jeans are HERE.
(These jeans are the #3 jeans in the collage below.)
They also have a super cute pair in plus size HERE!
So ladies....
here's what I'm doing.
To let you know that I mean business, I'm naming Vigoss Jeans a MUST HAVE!
I don't care which pair you buy, but you have to buy one of them!
I already had the distressed cuff pair found HERE (that I bought on sale for $38 about 2 months ago).
Sadly there are only 4 sizes left and it looks like when they're gone, they're gone. I called Nordstrom and the nice lady helping me said it doesn't look like they are going to restock online.
If you never got the first pair of jeans, now is the time to score one of the other pairs.
And if you did get the first pair, I feel CERTAIN that you are getting another pair of these jeans because you are now a believer in the Vigoss brand.
Heck, if you are in need of jeans, you could even buy 2 pair at the same time with no guilt!
You could buy 2 pairs of jeans for under $100!
I say that is a FANTASTIC deal that you wouldn't even need to feel guilty about!
***PLUS, you need to take advantage of the fact that they are $10 off right now.
The sale could end tomorrow, it could end a
month from now. Nordstrom guards that type of information closely and
usually won't tell you when a sale is going to start or be over.***
Again, sorry about the tag hanging off in the pictures below.
Here are pictures of the jeans side by side.
1) boot cut HERE
2) clean cuffed HERE (with no distressing)
3) light colored distressed skinny HERE
4) distressed cuffed HERE (but almost sold out and probably not restocking)
*THESE are similar
(I'm not sure what the differences are, but they are different item #s so I know they are not the same. Still, they look alike to me!)
So, what's your favorite?
Boot cut? Clean cuffed? Light colored distressed skinny? or Distressed cufffed?
Remember if you are trying to decide what jeans you want, you can look in the collages at the top of the post if you need a closer look at #1-3.
Also, I've received lots of e-mails lately about how your closest Nordstrom is like 2 hours away.
First of all, I would like to offer my deepest condolences. :(
Secondly, I would like to let you know (in case you didn't) that Nordstrom has FREE shipping and FREE returns. Even if your order is only $10!
And they have THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE ON EARTH.
No lie.
So, don't be afraid to order things before trying them on.
Always read the reviews (if there are any) before buying an item and pay close attention to
the size tips!
Then, place your order.
The risk is minimal since the return is free!
If you want to know where the cardigan is from in the above pics......you're in luck....kind of.
It's from Nordstrom too, so you can just throw it in your cart with the jeans right now.
However, the striped one that I have on above is not available online at this time.
Don't know why, and the lady at Nordstrom didn't know either.
(I actually have the 1-800 Nordstrom number saved on my phone. Is anybody surprised?)
However, you can get any other color under the rainbow.
It is greatness.
And check out the reviews!
187 near perfect reviews!!!!!
Click HERE for the cardigan.
It's a great piece for an even better price!
(For size reference, I have on the small cardigan in all of the pictures. They didn't have an x-small, but I think that would have been fine too.
Size tips in the reviews say to size down a size if between sizes.)
And just in case anybody wants to know...
Click HERE for the necklace in the pictures.
Click HERE for the MUST HAVE wedges in the pictures.
Click HERE for the bracelet.
And in closing,
I would like to say again that I really do carefully consider what I'm going to name a MUST HAVE.
These jeans were really a no brainer for me.
I wanted to name the first pair I bought a MUST HAVE, but I hesitated since they were distressed.
Even though they were some of the best fitting and most flattering jeans I'd ever had on, I thought the fact that they were distressed might make them less desirable to the general public (even though I personally loved the distressed look).
So, as soon as I knew there was a non-distressed pair that became available (thanks again for the e-mail Lisa), I was fairly certain I would be naming them a MUST HAVE,
but I obviously wanted to try them on first.
As soon as I put them on yesterday, I knew I would be blogging them today!
And then I put on the boot cut pair and was freaking out because I loved them too.
BUY THESE JEANS.
BUY 2 PAIRS.
HECK, BUY 3 PAIRS.
We won't judge.
:)
(Just think about how buying 3 pairs would still be less than buying 1 pair of designer jeans!
And you would get 3 distinct styles!)
I'll see you back on Friday for my Bachelorette post. I'm emotionally exhausted FROM THE MOST DRAMATIC FINALE EVER and am still trying to wrap my head around what happened.
Plus, I just need an extra day to write it!
p.s.
NEXT WEEK THE BLOG IS TURNING 1!!!!!
And I'm not going to give you any hints (I cut off the bottom of my graphic below)...
but there is a full on celebration all week long on the blog,
and it is going to end with a HUGE prize for one reader.
Get fired up!
It's gonna be big!
p.p.s.
A big "HELLO!" to a sweet reader Nicole who came up and introduced herself to me and Shay yesterday in Nordstrom.
It's so much fun for us to meet readers!
Nicole was at Nordstrom buying a gift card for a friend for her B-day dinner last night, and she told us that all the girls meeting for dinner (including the birthday girl) all read the blogs....
so Shay and I signed the gift card! So fun!
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY" Rebecca!
Such a cute group of friends you girls have!
(That's Nicole to the right of Rebecca in the turquoise shirt.)
And Rebecca, I hate to boss you on your birthday, but I am strongly suggesting you buy one of these pairs of MUST HAVE jeans with your gift card!
Have a wonderful Wednesday everybody!
xoxo,
Sheaffer :)
