This isn't earth-shattering, but I just realized that I am actually- - for the first time- - content with the jeans that I own. I have never been at this point before, and I just feel like sharing! :)
BTW:
2 pairs of Lucky Brand Sundowns (which I don't think they make anymore)
1 pair of bootcuts from Old Navy that I've had forever and ever
1 pair of AG Lola (wide leg, high waist)
1 pair of Gap Perfect Boot (which are kinda wide)
2 pair of Banana Republic skinnies (1 gray, 1 black)
2 pairs of well-fitting boot cut jeans (Merona) 2 pairs of pretty tight "going out" skinny jeans (Forever 21) 2 pairs of more daytime/work appropriate skinny jeans (Mossimo) 1 pair of slightly professional-looking trouser jeans (Old Navy....these stretch out horribly so I have to attempt to re-shrink after every wear like all other ON stuff I have, but other than that they are perfect)
...and a collection of jorts, which I love shamelessly.

OK, as a disclaimer, I wear jeans to work almost everyday (very casual office.) So I actually wear all of these. And most of them I've had for years. I'm not just a jean glutton. Really.
2 boot cut for "going out" (Hudson) 1 straight leg dark wash (COH) 2 straight leg wore- in wash (both Old Navy, but one was actually a dark wash when I originally bought them 7 years ago.) 1 straight leg medium wash (random Arden B found in a thrift store.) 2 straight leg hemmed for flats (Target) 1 straight leg black (Target) 2 skinny dark wash (FF21) 1 skinny medium wash with zipper at ankle (FF21) 3 boot cut dark wash (DNKY & Buffalo) 1 trouser dark wash (Martin & Osa) 1 boot cut worn in/distressed (Blue Cult that I've owned for years & years and only wear in the house. But they are sooooo comfy.) 3 jorts (1 FF21 & 2 homemade)
Edited- OK, I bought 3 new pairs this weekend. Because finding well fitting jeans is so hit ot miss, I have a habit of trting jeans on whenever I shop.
1 Pagie skinny dark wash
2 Skinny FF21 in grey and dark wash (mainly to tuck into boots, but I'm wearing the grey now with flats.) They were only $10.50 each so I don't feel too guilty about getting both of them.

I think I am forgetting some. About half of these were thrifted.
