Gorgeous Shannon! I loved the story, and I wish there was a Sargent Blue Jeans in my area. I would love a taz following me around if she got me results like these. Congratulations!</p> <p>Rita - thank you for the laugh, damn you're good!</p> <p>Anybody remember the movie in this photo? This is what I kept thinking of while reading all the fab comments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-cheeky#post-734929 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 23:12:10 +0000 Transcona Shannon 734929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seriously Una - these pictures don't really show it, but when I put these on and looked at the rear view, it was fairly impressive, if I do say so myself! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-cheeky#post-734870 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 22:26:09 +0000 catgirl 734870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late here but KEEP! These may answer my own search for flattering flap pocket jeans to boost my derriere! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-cheeky#post-734469 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 13:59:44 +0000 Transcona Shannon 734469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all - what's even better, is the Silver Jeans brand are designed in Canada and made in a local, Winnipeg factory (Wester Glove Works). Same factory that Victoria Beckham gets her line of jeans made in - we've actually seen her here a few times. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-cheeky#post-734380 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 06:42:53 +0000 Lyn D. 734380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I read your post and thought they were a silver METALIC colour- but was trying to keep an open mind!<br /> Glad for the clarifying pics. They look terrific! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-cheeky#post-734369 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 06:12:42 +0000 Diana 734369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous! Both the jeans and the service! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-cheeky#post-734367 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 06:11:00 +0000 Deborah 734367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats! They look fantastic. And what amazing service, I.bet you will go back there next time you want jeans:). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-cheeky#post-734348 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 05:13:34 +0000 Tina 734348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I said the same thing to the SA when I went jean shopping this spring. After about 7 or 8 fails, she brought me a pair with some contrast stitching and back flap pockets. They fit, I loved them, bought them and have worn them a lot since. I have had jeans that had back pockets with flaps before and I wore those into the ground as well. There is something flattering about that style, it also depends on the make of the jeans.<br /> On the down side, the buttons tend to catch on the seat when getting into a vehicle. Not a big deal, just something to be mindful of.<br /> I love these on you and I would hem them for a low heel. This gives you some variety when choosing footwear. These jeans can be worn with several different styles of shoes.<br /> No need to have second thoughts. Hem them and you WILL wear them:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-cheeky#post-734247 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 02:37:00 +0000 Suz 734247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look terrific. I think it is the side view that sells me most. And it is WORTH it to shop in a place where you're treated well and with understanding. What a difference it makes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-cheeky#post-734237 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 02:23:11 +0000 Sveta 734237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is to a happy ending for jeans hunting story! They look great and the service sounded outstanding! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-cheeky#post-734232 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 02:19:40 +0000 Transcona Shannon 734232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seriously ladies? They're ok? </p> <p>Dianthus - I have never EVER had such a positive jean shopping trip. These two ladies are amazing. It was the first time I've gone there even though they've been there for years and I've heard nothing but fantastic things about them. And if you want to wait, they'll hem them for you right there and then for free. She told me that the polyester content in these keep them from bagging out at all. My boss (who is 6 years younger than me and absolutely gorgeous...darn her - lol!) swears by Silver jeans. She calls them her "magic pants". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-cheeky#post-734221 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 02:14:41 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 734221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great. I picked up a pair of jeans at Winners on the way home tonight but now think I may go to Sargent jeans and try those ones. The flap pockets are great and the fit looks outstanding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-cheeky#post-734208 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 02:04:11 +0000 qfbrenda 734208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-cheeky#post-734198 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 01:57:09 +0000 JR 734198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep! :oP to your insecurities! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-cheeky#post-734185 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 01:44:19 +0000 MNsara 734185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon -- they look FAB-U-lous!! Absolutely no need for insecurities!! How wonderful to have a go-to pair of jeans for Fridays now :-)</p> <p>I like that they have some polyester in them too. I'm coming full circle here - raised in polyester (doubleknit, I swear), rejected all fabrics that weren't all-natural, grew tired of fading/shrinking/bagging, and now appreciate a stablizing bit of the right synthetic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-cheeky#post-734155 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 01:08:16 +0000 Transcona Shannon 734155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok...I found some pins and here are a few pics. They don't look as great in the pictures as I thought they would...now my insecurities are coming out...maybe they aren't great...maybe this should be a keep/return post instead....maybe I'm completely neurotic....</p> <p>(the last pic shows just how long they are unshortened - good gravy, my legs are short!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-cheeky#post-734131 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 00:45:25 +0000 Transcona Shannon 734131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita - I just about spit my sip of Diet Pepsi on my keyboard when I saw your comment - lol!</p> <p>But they are still about 6 inches too long and the legs don't look right because of all the excess fabric. I'll see if I can crudely pin them up and take a few shots but no promises...now where are the pins...."Gain, have you seen the pins anywhere".... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-cheeky#post-734092 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 23:48:40 +0000 Anonymous 734092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I look forward to seeing them!

I'm glad they worked out for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-cheeky#post-733914 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 20:15:13 +0000 Transcona Shannon 733914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristin and I went out at lunch time today to a local denim store called Sargent Blue Jeans. They are an amazing little shop run by two ladies and all they carry are jeans - rows and rows of them. But you don't go wandering around the shop digging through stuff. They meet you at the door and ask what you are looking for and they bring them to you to try on.</p> <p>I have BF jeans (two sizes in Gap Sexy and one Kut from the Kloth Catherine on the way), one pair of Wit &amp; Wisdom skinnies, a pair of Reitmans dark wash straight leg, red ones that are about to be dyed Bordeaux, white straight leg, and the bootcut flares I'm wearing today. I wanted a pair that I can wear to Denim Day Fridays at work, wear with blouses either untucked or tucked with belt and could dress up or down.</p> <p>I told them my size and said I wanted mid rise, darker wash, no fading, no back flap pockets and straight leg. The SA helping me flitted around that store like a Tazmanian Devil, grabbing this, that and the other and kept flinging them over the door of the change room.</p> <p>With each pair I put on, she would have me come out and we would review the jeans together - they all technically fit (she was spot on in sizing) but many were wrong for various reasons. </p> <p>Then she flung a pair of Silver jeans over the door and said to try these - I promptly mentioned that they had some fading, back flap pockets and seemed to be lower rise than what I was wanting. She agreed but urged me to try them on anyway saying now that she's seen how jeans fit and she knows my body a bit better, she believes these will be "the ones". So to humour her and see if she was right, I slid them on. Oh my...they fit but are not snug, the flap pockets are perfectly placed so that my behind looks upright and perky; the rise is lower but holds everything in beautifully and there is absolutely no muffin top; the fading is at least placed decently and does not make my thighs (front or back) look larger. In fact, these jeans make me look long and lean. The denim is substantial. They are a bootcut and I said I thought from the knee down they were too wide but once she pinned up one leg to a proper hem length, that excessive flare disappeared and they are straight. Needless to say, I bought them.</p> <p>I have to wash them and then get them hemmed - still deciding on what heel height - so don't have a picture for you. You'll just have to trust me. Here's a link to the brand though. I paid a little more for them in store but still very reasonable.</p> <p>The reason I titled this "being cheeky" is two fold - my "cheeks" looked good in the jeans (lol!) and I'm not posting these as a Keep/Return because I love them, felt amazing in them and don't want to be told if they are wrong for me - in this instance, ignorance is bliss!!!</p> <p><a href="http://www.silverjeans.com/style/suki-surplus-jeans-mid-rise/L9906SAF446#" rel="nofollow">http://www.silverjeans.com/sty.....906SAF446#</a></p> <p>P.S. Got rid of my Gap Long &amp; Leans - tired of the saggy butt I end up with at the end of the day. </p>
