If the average girl owns something like seven pairs of jeans and every one of them makes her feel fat, how much time will she spend bitching about them before buying a new pair?

You do the math. While you’re at it, figure out this Swindle word problem, and Madewell will send you six months worth of fine-fitting jeans (a whole six pairs!).

Q: Add the year Madewell was founded to the number of Madewell designers profiled on their website. Then divide by the number of Madewell stores in the US. What do you get?
