Hahaha. I have been known to shop in the boy's section before. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-j-brand-skinnies-again#post-372877 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 22:57:14 +0000 Jonesy 372877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I am chiming in after the smaller size pic was removed :). I can concede that the remaining ones look a little baggy from mid-thigh down, now that they have been uncuffed (I was saying on the other thread that I liked the looser fit)...And if they are expensive, you want them to be perfect. I agree that dude jeans might be a fruitful strategy! Don't give up hope, Una! Your bright blue skinnies are out there somewhere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-j-brand-skinnies-again#post-372816 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 21:01:35 +0000 catgirl 372816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, I will just have to admire you wearing them - they look so wonderful on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-j-brand-skinnies-again#post-372803 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 20:44:38 +0000 Sarah 372803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm confident you'll find ones you love more. I don't think these look bad on you at all, but it's not what you're going for, so it isn't worth it at any price. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-j-brand-skinnies-again#post-372802 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 20:43:55 +0000 Anonymous 372802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, thanks for the heads up, Sara! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-j-brand-skinnies-again#post-372786 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 20:21:48 +0000 MNsara 372786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, Alicat - I was actually at Penney's yesterday and got to try on some City Streets bright skinnies. The in-store price was $11.40 for all the bright skinnies. They also had bright cropped skinnies (that could be rolled to clams).</p> <p>They had a lower rise than I am happy in - definitely not designed for 50+ year olds Some of the styles had 'stuff' going on on the back pockets (like studs, bling, and eyelet cutouts). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-j-brand-skinnies-again#post-372765 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 19:34:11 +0000 catgirl 372765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You all are the best, and you're saving me lots of $! I am not loving them anyway, other than the color, and I've got to start learning to accept nothing less than perfection. </p> <p>Thanks for all the links - I'm off to check them out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-j-brand-skinnies-again#post-372755 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 19:15:00 +0000 Anonymous 372755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about some $9.99 ones?</p> <p><a href="http://www.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.aspx?GrpTyp=PRD&#038;ItemID=1a66ddf&#038;Nao=21&#038;Ne=840+4+877+878+5+961+6+29+3+598+11+15+12+506+10+23+585+596+963+579+1031+8+1022+1014+586+1007+879+1027+18+904+903+969+833+949&#038;N=4294959029&#038;hdnOnGo=true&#038;NOffset=0&#038;Ntt=city+streets+jeans&#038;SearchString=city+streets+jeans&#038;submit%20search.x=9&#038;submit%20search.y=4&#038;SO=0&#038;PSO=0&#038;CmCatId=searchresults" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.....rchresults</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-j-brand-skinnies-again#post-372748 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 19:02:03 +0000 MNsara 372748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una - there are a bunch of boy's Levi's 510s in amazon.com in great colors and very inexpensive, plus most have free return shipping ;-)</p> <p>I can't look at the reviews right now, but if you look around, there are people who comment that a size 18 is 29X29 or something like that. In that you are petite, they may just be worth a look. Plus maybe some stores actually carry them by you?</p> <p>Here's a starter link: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002DHQWJQ/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_10?ie=UTF8&#038;m=ATVPDKIKX0DER" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ.....PDKIKX0DER</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-j-brand-skinnies-again#post-372745 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 18:59:41 +0000 Heather 372745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bottom line: these are TOO MUCH MONEY to fuss around with. The right pair will make its way into your closet. Promise!</p> <p>Great news: You look awesome in this color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-j-brand-skinnies-again#post-372717 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 18:26:04 +0000 Girl X 372717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both sizes have to go. I've seen pics of you in jeans, so I know how awesome your legs should look, and these aren't doing it. This colour can be found in so many brands an cuts - keep looking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-j-brand-skinnies-again#post-372715 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 18:20:40 +0000 Marley 372715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The crotchal pants don't look that bad in the er, crotchal - but it may just be the picture. However, I'd send them back in a nano-second if they were uncomfortable or crotchal-esque in the slightest! The others may be just fine worn as looser pants - rather than skinnies. I'm not much help, I know. Have you seen Zara's colored pants? I could go to Zara this weekend and try them on and take pics and send them to you if you want? Also, I think H&amp;M has some. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-j-brand-skinnies-again#post-372710 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 17:45:09 +0000 modgrl 372710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, I'm not loving these on you. Did you check out the Rich and Skinny's on Gilt today? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-j-brand-skinnies-again#post-372708 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 17:43:40 +0000 Mo 372708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This may sound silly but have you tried young men's colored skinnies? Do they even make this color for guys? If so, it may have the room at the waist/crotch but still be skinny down the leg. If not, I think the larger size is fine hemmed. As long as you are comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-j-brand-skinnies-again#post-372705 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 17:39:51 +0000 catgirl 372705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Per the requests to see a side by side of the two sizes, here are the two photos I took. Larger is on the left (hair up)... </p> <p>I am not going to keep the smaller size - they are quite uncomfortable and I feel they are obscene in the, er, crotchal (to quote Patty) area, regardless of whether I wore them with something longer. I cringe just posting this photo!</p> <p>So the only issue is whether the larger size can work as is or hemmed; otherwise, I will send both pairs back. Suggestions welcomed! </p>
