No one's saying that you can't dress up a pair of jeans and make them look nice. I'm sure you looked very nice just like most everyone around the office that I work in looks nice on Fridays (casual day) but even so jeans are a casual clothing item. I know that you already had the job and it was kind of an informal 'interview' but I have many many friends that used to or currently do work in HR offices and do some hiring and firing and they all agree that when someone walks into the office, they can be impressed with them right off depending on how professionally they present themselves and the opposite is also true. I know that the clothes you wear don't make you a better or worse employee but upon that first meeting, where they really don't have much to go on because they do not yet know you and how you are going to perform, I think it's best to put your best foot forward and present yourself like you are professional.
