They are very you, and I appreciate the lighter wash being more cutting edge in fashion, and the grommet detailing and exposed buttons are really fun. I see no muffin top, and I like the top you chose. *big hugs*&nbsp; I don't want to be "that" person, but love yourself like we all love you. You are beautiful and amazing with an extraordinary sense of fashion.</p> <p>Love the shoes, too. Great summer shoe for Seattle where it doesn't get as hot And, I appreciate a closed toe summer shoe myself.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coin-toss-shopping#post-1473661 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 15:23:33 +0000 Marlene 1473661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mules = great! &nbsp;Jeans = great! &nbsp;How awesome that pop-up warehouse sales happen along your path. &nbsp;My path is big box stores and malls....such is life in the burbs. &nbsp;I was just at the tulip fields a couple weeks ago and it is even more breath-taking &nbsp;IRL than your amazing photos show. &nbsp;Wear a longer/looser top until you are back to fighting weight. &nbsp;Just don't let those adorable jeans sit around unworn! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coin-toss-shopping#post-1473660 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 15:21:58 +0000 Angie 1473660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute.</p> <p>&nbsp;Love the classic addition of the stripe. I &nbsp;also love the side eyelet detail on the jeans, and the mules look very comfy. Fab colour. Do they slip off your feet when you walk?&nbsp;</p> <p>The flowers are STUNNING.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coin-toss-shopping#post-1473655 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 15:14:59 +0000 viva 1473655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans are very cool and I hear you on body changes. I am hoping spring weather will get me moving outside more, as I can feel my midsection expanding more each day. It's so hard to control. Good luck to you, and enjoy those jeans as much as you possibly can. I love the grommets.</p> <p>The tulips are just spectacular! Thanks for sharing. We still have snow on the ground, but our spring peepers (frogs) have just started singing in the evenings, which is a sure sign spring is on the way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coin-toss-shopping#post-1473574 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 13:01:02 +0000 Anonymous 1473574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the shoes. &nbsp;I would have bought them instantly. &nbsp;I really like the jeans too. &nbsp;I personally don't see a muffin top at all. &nbsp;</p> <p>The tulip fields take my breath away. &nbsp;I especially love the last picture of the yellow tulips bending slightly to the wind. &nbsp;I have photographers in my family. &nbsp;I will show them your pictures because they enjoy pictures like this more than anyone I know. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coin-toss-shopping#post-1473570 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 12:48:27 +0000 Eliza 1473570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those jeans are so cool, I would have bought them in a toddler size. I think a structured, slightly longer top may help you feel more comfortable. Love the shoes in cognac. I had no idea there were such beautiful tulip fields near you. Lovely photos- thanks for sharing. </p> <p>High 5 on a year that changes your routine. I have had crazy ortho issues that made walking, most exercise and comfort impossible. My shape has shifted and it's going to be awhile. No need to forego fun in the meantime! May your stress decrease. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coin-toss-shopping#post-1473568 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 12:43:25 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1473568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jeans, especially that grommet on the side ... I just got started with my spring shopping and I have been on a light blue and white kick too. &nbsp;The oxford mules are great, too. They look both on trend, and walkable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coin-toss-shopping#post-1473566 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 12:29:02 +0000 Daria 1473566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the jeans look great (and will look even better with a top untucked, as others already pointed out). &nbsp;Of course if you feel like they will be more comfortable 10 pounds down the road - you have a goal! (I know it's easier said than done..) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coin-toss-shopping#post-1473557 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 12:10:38 +0000 Jaime 1473557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the shoes! The jeans look good too, but if you feel uncomfortable in them, put them aside until later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coin-toss-shopping#post-1473550 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 12:00:29 +0000 frannieb 1473550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;I like the jeans and the shoes and agree with others that I think it is the top that is paired with the jeans.<br />Thank you for sharing the beautiful flower pictures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coin-toss-shopping#post-1473503 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 10:04:54 +0000 Sal 1473503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the jeans are great and so are you....many of us have been there before and it is so annoying to be heavier than you want....and damn muffintop is so easy to get. I would keep the jeans because I think with summer coming you may get out walking more. And basically they are a great shape on you.</p> <p>Mules and tulips are wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coin-toss-shopping#post-1473487 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 07:51:32 +0000 Karin L H 1473487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the shoes! And I like the look of the jeans, but if you don't feel good in them it might not be worth keeping them... But maybe try with another, looser top and see how that feels? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coin-toss-shopping#post-1473473 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 06:55:35 +0000 Lucy 1473473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, to be honest,&nbsp;I don't see quite the problem that you see. Sure, maybe you deleted the bad photo. But also, maybe it's not as bad as you think! Why not enjoy them with a fuller style top? I have some items of clothes&nbsp;that need&nbsp;less fitted tops - I like to blame the style, rather than my body! The rest of them look good to me. And super cute ankle detail! </p> <p>That said, if they are going to make you feel bad, put them straight to Ebay. No point having stuff that makes you feel bad. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coin-toss-shopping#post-1473465 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 06:32:12 +0000 Missey 1473465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Anna- F*@K it!&nbsp; The shoes and jeans are both great and you'll get back to where you will want to be.&nbsp; If it makes you feel better, I'll post photos in my swim suit! ;)&nbsp; Now that we're living on a lake, I will be in them constantly NO MATTER WHAT!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coin-toss-shopping#post-1473428 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 03:41:06 +0000 Adelfa 1473428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are super cool jeans. I can see why you fell for them! The mules will be fun. I'm finding there's value in having summer shoes that don't require the pedi to be in mint condition;-) Gorgeous tulips, thanks!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coin-toss-shopping#post-1473427 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 03:38:19 +0000 Janet 1473427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you're being too hard on yourself -- I like the style of the jeans, and I think an untucked top will help you feel less muffin-toppish. I love the wash and the grommets. The shoes are very cool too. Seriously, you look great. I honestly don't see obvious signs of weight gain but I understand how you're feeling -- I'm dealing with a bit of that too. </p> <p>Love the tulip shots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coin-toss-shopping#post-1473424 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 03:26:13 +0000 annagybe 1473424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tossing a coin you have a 50-50 chance of getting heads.<br />So I was going to post this as a WIW, but then I saw the pictures.<br />Backstory, this weekend Baby &amp; Company, a local boutique was having a pop-up warehouse sale. This boutique was on the route I took part of the SSIF on a tour of Belltown.<br />Today everything was an extra 20% off.&nbsp;<br />I found these really cool oxford mules by a new to me brand, Ter et Bantine. Their made in Italy, the leather is soft and footbed is cushioned. I really wanted a pair of mules for summer and spring, these were off-kilter enough for me. So this was the heads.<br />I browsed through the clothes and almost nothing appealed to me. Then I found these made in Italy&nbsp;jeans<span>. I really liked the light, non-distressed wash. Especially the exposed button front. The cuffs are held up by grommets and the silver strip is actually reflective.<br /></span>They had a communal dressing room, and there were already three women in it. There was a saleswoman who seemed to be giving legitimate advice. She said they fit how they were supposed to fit. I guess I was in such a rush and probably since I was wearing a sweatshirt, I ignored the glaring muffin top. Also a bit of denial factored in, these are a size 31, I used to a size 29. Last year and extending into this year has been very stressful, so diet and exercise have fallen to the back burner. My weight is up by over 15 pounds.<br />Given that it was a warehouse sale, they're obviously non-returnable, so these are the tails.<br />I deleted the side view immediately from my camera.&nbsp;</p> <div>Bonus eyeball cleansing shots of the tulips in the Skagit Valley north of Seattle.&nbsp;</div></p>
