Q&A about individual items, ensembles, and wardrobe

New Purchases - Part 1

I have a couple of new items that I would love to get feedback from everybody for. I've finally found my camera's battery charger so there are a lot of items pending YLF approval :-) So I decided to break this up into parts with like items in each post.

I have been feeling less excited about prospective new acquisitions, and generally shlumpy lately so I am not inclined to keep any of these items unless they look really good. I am pretty sure none are killer items.

So for part 1 I present - white denim! Yes Angie, I finally took the plunge when I saw these on sale at ATL! DH, who was very doubtful about white bottoms also liked them. Then again, lately he's being very careful not to dampen my new found excitement post-YLF.

Please ignore the evil length top - it is an old Gap polo that I suspect still keeps shrinking. And though I usually get by without hemming regular length jeans, these are just too long and will abs need hemming.

As always I really appreciate all your help!

They look great Vani! The white is so pretty against your skin.

Wooohooo, Vani! Why are you feeling schlumpy, my dear? A lovely lass like you should feel fab.

Angelface, I’m with your very sweet hubby. The jeans look AMAZING. A big fat 10 out of 10 (and you know what that means...a certain "K" word), once they’re hemmed and matched with a fab top. Let’s see the rest!

You look so good in those white jeans. With your skin tone you should definetly wear white jeans. They fit perfectly too. You look killer hot! That is a 10+!

Definite keepers!

Wow! Thank you so, so much everyone! With the YLF stamp of approval, off to the tailor they go :-)

Joy, Srujana, I got these for just 19.99, such a bargain! They are the White Original Boot Leg Jeans model. Do give them a go.

Angie, (hugs) thank you! I guess I'm just frustrated lately that no matter how well I eat and how regularly I workout, I see no results. Some days it seems my perception of how I look is a lot better I really do look irl. Over-positive body image?! In the end I'm just at a loss as to how to judge myself in new outfits, always wondering how I really look :-) I will be posting more tomorrow, so, once everyone weighs in, I can re-adjust my mind's eye.

I just had to add that you look absolutely amazing in those jeans -- I want to see the rest of your new purchases!

Thank you Laura! :-D I will be posting more new stuff today as the day progresses :-)

Niva, the jeans are killer on you, as Angie says. Now you have a ground zero to adjust your eye to and be confident that you look super fab.

My dear, Vani. Hugs back to you.

We see a beautiful curvy woman who oozes confidence and verve in flattering clothing. That is the best body image to have and I’m glad you have it! THAT, my angel is truly stylish. I’m elated that you see that too, even if it's not every day.

Now hem those KILLER white jeans and go hug your wonderful pooch :0)

Patience, thank you so much for those wonderful words on encouragement :-) I am slowly getting there...

Angie, with you and "YLFabbers" on my side, I am already feeling worlds better. Thank you, so much :-) Now, I'm off to hem and hug :-D

I love those jeans on you, and am glad you decided to keep them Vani!

I'm not seeing the problem here either Vani!! Maybe its because white jeans are so outside your box??? I am a bit scared of white jeans myself too!!

Posted 7 months ago

The jeans are gorgeous, love how they look on you!! You have a lovely figure, embrace!!

Cathy, Jean, thanks so much for the lovely words of encoruagement!! I've been going through one of those phases and I cannot count how many times I am grateful for all you lovely ladies here to sort me out :-)

Tam, you mean you don't have a pair already? It did take a bit of courage to even try those on LOL...but that's got I've got "bum" issues ;-) You my dear, without a doubt, will look fabulous in them :-)

Vani, I got the same jeans last year, we can be white ATL denim twins!

You look terrific! I also like how the pockets are not too low on your bum. White jeans are so versatile - have fun!

Hehe no Vani I don't have white jeans. I bought a light grey pair in SF this year and am loving them though. For our upcoming summer here I'm thinking of buying a pair of white clams (I have no denim shorts). That seems a little less scary than white jeans to me for some reason!!!

I have those but mine are still a bit too snug - you will be my inspiration to keep working on getting back into them. We all have times that our body does not match our very high expectations so please remember you are not at all alone in that feeling.

White jeans are so versatile that i am sure you will wonder how you lived without them :)
