Gosh, I am happy to get this positive feedback because these jeans are one of those things where once you have them on you don't really want to take them off. They are definitely going to have some give and get baggier the more I wear them though. I hope this really is the right size.
Sarah, that's a good point. I think it may be actually the big belt I am wearing that is hiding how long the rise is as well as possibly the particular POV of the photo.
Gaylene, you have my thought process down to a T. Yes, I think I need to spend some time putting outfits together at home so that these hopefully become a no-brainer quickly. I was curious to find out what my husband had to say to these. I was expecting him to say they are ridiculous, but he didn't. I asked him if he wouldn't mind even when they get baggier and baggier, and he said, hmm, that's not your usual style. You might have to put on your rapper necklace with them. (I have a chunky gold necklace, which he actually refers to as my "rabbit" necklace, meaning rapper. Not a native English speaker.)
Sveta, I read a quote from a blogger that says she loves her BFs so much that she has now had more jeans than actual boyfriends
