And then I could not understand why I hadn't said anything the first time. Anyway, I like them then and now. They would fit me the same way more or less and I would wear them happily. Take that as you like! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-revisit-the-r13-x-over-jeans-for-me#post-1212834 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 02:56:04 +0000 catgirl 1212834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes. Am confused as to whether need more or less fitted. Greyscale's seemed to fit her more closely. Denise looks great in hers too.

If they are your size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-revisit-the-r13-x-over-jeans-for-me#post-1212723 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 01:39:50 +0000 Gigi 1212723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I viewed Leopardluxe's post to see these jeans in another context, and my personal opinion is that you do need to see more of the waistband so that the onlooker knows the fly is designed to be "off." In LL's post, since she's tucking and wearing a belt, the skewed fly is clearly shown to be intentional.</p> <p>I also agree with the other posters that there is something about the cut that doesn't seem to work as well with your body shape. I couldn't figure out what it was, though.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-revisit-the-r13-x-over-jeans-for-me#post-1212693 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 01:22:21 +0000 rae 1212693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say try the black version that Denise has, and maybe size up so that they ride really low like a bf jean. I do see the waist issue that Anna mentions in the ones you previously tried.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-revisit-the-r13-x-over-jeans-for-me#post-1212685 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 01:20:21 +0000 catgirl 1212685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting feedback.&nbsp; Thank you!&nbsp; I think I'm going to skip them for now because I trust that you all are seeing something I'm just short-sighted about.&nbsp; Wondering if those who are making these work are all a similar shape?</p> <p>I don't want the black because I think they are waxed, but if I can find an unwaxed black pair in a smaller size I might bite (and make sure they are returnable this time!). </p> <p>Appreciate you all putting up with my struggle!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-revisit-the-r13-x-over-jeans-for-me#post-1212682 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 01:19:19 +0000 ManidipaM 1212682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I missed this the first time and am a wholehearted yay. I didn't notice any of the figure issues till I started reading so I just saw SO COOL.</p> <p>FWIW, and certainly not discou ting the advice of those more on the ball with fashion, I think much of your audience will be more like me... not aware how they 'should' look but just floored by the eclecticism. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-revisit-the-r13-x-over-jeans-for-me#post-1212672 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 01:07:54 +0000 K. Period. 1212672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm. I viewed, then revisited, then thought, and now I'm back. &nbsp;I needed time to decide how I felt about these. &nbsp;I think you should give them another try. &nbsp;With that said, here's what I've worked out about them:&nbsp;</p> <p>1. I think Anna and Dana have diagnosed dead on what isn't working with these. Your slim hips don't fill them out and bring out the jodhpurs shape that they also have. &nbsp;If they had pleats, they'd push out like that. That isn't a deal killer to me, but it describes what is challenging about the shape on you. </p> <p>2. I'm not a fan of the wash you had in the original ones&nbsp;either. &nbsp;I think a different wash would be more appealing. &nbsp;Having a shape that pushes conventions plus a wash that pushes conventions is a lot. &nbsp;</p> <p>3, Even with those negatives, I think the shape is interesting and fun and clearly it calls to you. &nbsp;I think that all the high-low tops, cropped tops and front tucking that is going on right now is made for you and these jeans. It will create a smaller waist, which will make the fit more flattering and showing it off. &nbsp;</p> <p>So you should buy!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-revisit-the-r13-x-over-jeans-for-me#post-1212662 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 00:57:22 +0000 Mellllls 1212662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For some reason they look asymmetrical to me on you. I vote no. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-revisit-the-r13-x-over-jeans-for-me#post-1212658 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 00:54:34 +0000 rabbit 1212658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was thinking that color was one of the main obstacles for how these looked to me on you. &nbsp;Have you tried on the black? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-revisit-the-r13-x-over-jeans-for-me#post-1212653 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 00:48:02 +0000 annagybe 1212653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also prefer the black version that Denise &amp; I have. I think it works better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-revisit-the-r13-x-over-jeans-for-me#post-1212635 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 00:30:39 +0000 Suz 1212635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;I love the hair. Definitely do it.&nbsp;</p> <p>As for the jeans, I see what Anna sees. Something about the cut of these ones on you just doesn't do it for me. But you know...it could be the photo angle. Or the wash of them (or the way they look in the light). I also think Caro's right-- important to trust your own instincts on this stuff because we don't always see the full story.&nbsp;</p> <p>Note: I love waist surrender and love you in baggy jeans. And I love the crossover jeans in general.&nbsp;So it's not that.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-revisit-the-r13-x-over-jeans-for-me#post-1212632 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 00:28:12 +0000 ironkurtin 1212632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really hate this style of jean.&nbsp; Just saying that up front.&nbsp; Both these and the harems make me shudder.&nbsp; (And I love R13s.)&nbsp; Maybe if I lived someplace colder I'd be totally into all that fabric right over the crotch, but I doubt it.</p> <p>But that aside, I think if you love them you should buy and wear them.&nbsp; </p> <p><a href="http://www.yoox.com/us/42343733PI/item?dept=women#sts=sr_women80&amp;cod10=42343733PI&amp;sizeId" rel="nofollow">http://www.yoox.com/us/4234373.....038;sizeId</a>=</p> <p>I have also seen this style occasionally on ebay for ~$150 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-revisit-the-r13-x-over-jeans-for-me#post-1212604 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 00:06:36 +0000 Caro in Oz 1212604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like them - I&nbsp;see what Anna sees but I think it looks deliberate &amp; not "Oh no she doesn't have a waist".</p> <p>Sometimes posting K/R can be a double edged sword.&nbsp;I agree with the others who say you need to trust your own instincts&nbsp;with these sorts of pieces.

This forum can definitely be a big help to honing our own unique style but, sometimes we have too go with our own gut feeling. We have o go against the grain and be the first to pave the way with our own style. Sometimes we have to quiet the outside voices. Like Angie with those Denim Jodhpurs remember those and that stupid article. I love them so rock your Jeans and the hair cut I love both. And when you do you better STRUT. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-revisit-the-r13-x-over-jeans-for-me#post-1212580 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 23:35:03 +0000 annagybe 1212580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm wondering if it is emphasizing your lack of waist. Because that's what I see, still. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-revisit-the-r13-x-over-jeans-for-me#post-1212576 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 23:32:20 +0000 carter 1212576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Take this with a pound of salt because it's from the uber-conservative side of the fence, but I have a hard time with these because they seem to make one leg look so much bigger than the other. As an IT, both your legs still look very thin, but as an hourglass with thigh issues, that's where my eyes go. That said, edgier styles suit you so well, so if you want them, my guess is that they are perfect for you, and I'm just light years behind the times! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-revisit-the-r13-x-over-jeans-for-me#post-1212571 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 23:26:15 +0000 catgirl 1212571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm just wondering if perspective has shifted or if these were truly wrong on me!&nbsp; So hard to know with these kinds of pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-revisit-the-r13-x-over-jeans-for-me#post-1212570 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 23:24:39 +0000 Echo 1212570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these are an item that will never get widespread support because they are designed to be "off", if that makes sense. So it is natural that they won't appeal to many. I quite like them, and I am a much bigger fan of these crossover jeans than I am of more traditional harem jeans (or the "picnic jeans" from yesterday's Blog post!). From everything I've seen, these are "you".&nbsp;</p> <p>And if you are still thinking about them a year after you tried them? Then you definitely need them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-revisit-the-r13-x-over-jeans-for-me#post-1212568 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 23:21:21 +0000 Karie 1212568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I liked them then, and I like them now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-revisit-the-r13-x-over-jeans-for-me#post-1212565 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 23:19:15 +0000 Deborah 1212565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una I must have missed this post originally.&nbsp; I love these jeans on you and they are very reflective of your style.&nbsp; Obviously semi tuck and cropped tops looks fab because they show of the drop crotch and the great detail where they button.&nbsp; </p> <p>You need these!</p> <p>Love you hair but Im a sucker for a edgy bob. </p>
