K/R BF jeans + more NAS - YouLookFab Forum

1) K/R Kut from Kloth skinny BF jeans. In the interest of extreme honesty, I'm letting you see the visible rolls of fat behind. The whiskering is part of the dye job, and not due to actual wrinking. They feel pretty comfortable on. Updated: Ok, they aren't a BF fit. Do they work as clams though and to which length should I roll them?

I made my second NAS trip today and placed some more orders. I won't go to the store again until Angie's picks come out. Here's what I tried.

2) Paige skinnies in grey. I'm trying to branch out past blue denim. I have some other grey/black/red jeans on order as well.

3) I ordered the red/orange version in the blue/grey sizing. Size on the left, colorway on the right.

4) Took this one home directly but considering a different colorway. Guess I really only get to chose between blue/black, grey/black and red/black since the grey/black stripes doesn't come in petites.

5) The jacket I love that won't zip closed so it can't come home with me. To be more precise, I can close it but it's not pretty. Will leather stretch out over time? Is it necessary to be able to zip a jacket? It's already bulky enough that it overwhelms me if I go a size up. Obviously I'd love to be enabled into this.

I returned the houndstooth top because I couldn't get a good fit when I tried the petite sizes either. *grumble*

I like the first jeans but don't think they are a boyfriend fit.

The second pair looks too tight to me.

The third shirt I prefer in the red/orange combo. But I love the 4th one in blue!

It's up to you about the jacket if it won't zip - the fit looks really great otherwise. I have this problem a lot, and I like my jackets to zip in theory if not in practice. It's a struggle.

I love the wash on the jeans and they fit you to a "t" .... I'd like to see them a size or two bigger for a more relaxed look.

ETA: I'm talking about the BF jeans.

Ok i'm liking the BF jeans although they fit like normal jeans rather than BF but they look good.

Not in love with anything else I'm afraid.

I'm voting against the Paige too, sorry --- looks too snug in the thigh Unless they're very very stretchy?

Everything else looks great (especially like the striped pullover), and I like the colourblocked blouse in blue/black. Are you saying you can actually do up the jacket but don't prefer the look? Or that it is uncomfortable done up? If the former, then it should be fine unless you usually like your jackets to stay closed, right?

Thank you for the honest feedback ladies. I appreciate it because my husband and the Nordstrom salespeople tend to be a little less critical in screening things out.

Glad the cropped jeans passed the test. I think they'll be nice for weekend wear and may be more boyfriend-ish when they bag out.

Re: Paiges in #2. Skinnies are such a challenge for me. My thighs are large and mighty so the jeans always look painted on in that area, especially if they're stretch. My only pair of skinniess from the Gap because they are made of a thick enough material to camouflage the thigh contours.

I just held the Paiges on top of the Kut from the Kloth jeans and noticed that although the waist was the same width, the legs were noticeably narrower on the Paiges. The Paiges are supposed to stretch with wear, but I do have these on order already, which may work better for me anyway.

Re: jacket. I can zip the jacket but it's obvious that the jacket is too small around the hips as it will bunch up to a narrower part of my waist and I look like a stuffed sausage. See how the jacket edges are hanging straight on me? The jacket is double breasted and not single breasted. The zip is offset so the fronts need to overlap in order to be zipped up. Looking at the photos of the model, I'm not convinced she'd be able to zip hers up if she wanted either - the front edges are even further apart than when I wear it and it's not just styling.

1-Great fit on the BF jeans here, I vote keep.
2-I vote pass on these they look a tad too tight in the thighs. I have the same issue and have found straight legs fit more like skinny jeans on me. Skinny jeans are too tight. Perhaps try a straight leg version?
3-I prefer the red chevron stripes on you, pretty color here, I vote keep red.
4-I like this one, I vote keep.
5-If you plan to wear this jacket zipped close in the cold, I vote pass.
