Jenn and Erin decided to step out of their comfort zone and experiment with trying on all the latest styles in denim to see which one was a BUY or a BYE! They shopped at the Gap and tried out the latest Barrel and Horseshoe style denim, but found that old tried-and-true favorites in the 90s straight leg for Jenn and the wide-leg trouser style for Erin were still their favorites! However, the Camo barrel jeans got them both considering a second trip to the store.Thanks to the Gap store for being so helpful and informative on their sizing and styles.
Jenn's favorite jeans were the High Rise 90"s Slim Straight leg
