You could spend $79.50 on these pleated velvet pants I saw in a Madewell email:
Or you could buy two yards of this crushed velvet at your local JoAnn for $35…
…and make a quick pair of Emerson pants with a full elastic waist and be richer. 
(This is just a PSA. I don’t need party pants; I have a party JUMPSUIT planned instead.)
