12. Cheap brands always get D/C ed

I got them from Family Dollar and there were only a few there. Cheap brands always get discontinued, so I'm conserving them.

They are the only skinny jeans that I can wear! I tried on numerous brands at more expensive places and I couldn't get them over my hips. These look nice and are very comfy. I have to wear elastic waists due to a herniated disc. Other elastic waist jeans look frumpy on me.
