Some women like shoes — I love jeans. (Ellie Conley/Yahoo) My favorite thing to buy has to be jeans. I'm always in pursuit of the perfect pair. You know, the ones that are comfy, yet stylish and make you feel your best? My first job as a teenager was at American Eagle Outfitters, where I became a "jean expert" and helped customers find their ideal fit. Now, maybe you'd still consider me a denim connoisseur — I currently own 47 pairs of jeans in various colors, fits and denim fabrics.
