I never got why women paid so much for this brand. So, when I found these for $40 I jumped at a chance to find out what all the fuss was about. Okay NYDJ I get it!!! They feel awesome, they make you look slimmer if your curvy/hippy and below 5'8". I will be buying more NYDJ again despite the price!!! They really are the best feeling pants or ankle pants I have ever worn. It is like wearing your pj's or sweats without actually wearing them. And you get to look so cute while being comfortable!!!!!
