I'm facing a bit of a dilemma re: skinny jeans. I am not ready to give up on skinny jeans entirely, but I am torn because I worry that with trends shifting to looser fits the skinnies will not get as much wear as in the pat few years.

My favourite dark rinse skinnies, Silver Aikos, are not looking as crisp and dark as they once did. I bought them in 2011 and have worn them a ton, 150+ times, conservatively. I've had a new pair on my wishlist for a while. New Aikos (#1) would cost $100, so splurge is sort of relative, I guess.

When I was in AE last week I tried on a pair of their skinnies for about half the price. The fit was not the clouds-parting-angels-singing perfect fit of my Aikos, but it was darn good. I like the very dark wash.

What would you do?
Yay: Splurge
Nay: Save
