And the Rosas. You were questioning the size on the Rosas, though; did you get the right size in them? When I tried them on in the store, I took a size down. I was swimming in my usual size. <br /></div><div>I'm not sure what was bugging you from the back on the Mothers, but I think they look super fab. Also the l'Agence jeans. <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/decision-timeugh#post-2274648 Fri, 29 Jul 2022 16:53:51 +0000 Angie 2274648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go Team Picky! You did very well :)</p> <p>And I GET why you're returning the Paiges. Good to go with what your intuition tells you!</p> <p>I forgot to mention <b>Staysfit</b>, that I also love the lighter wash jeans with your complexion.

I also found one in Denver recently when visiting my son. &nbsp;</p> <p></p> <p>There is a Nordstrom Rack within driving distance. Do they do alterations on Nordstrom merchandise? &nbsp;</p> <div><br /></div><div><br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/decision-timeugh#post-2274545 Fri, 29 Jul 2022 02:41:34 +0000 Irina 2274545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good choice on jeans! If you are nervous about hacking the hems, you might want to use Nordstrom’s alterations to do it. I did it once on a pair of pricey jeans. Easier when you have someone to pin it on you perfectly and cut.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/decision-timeugh#post-2274542 Fri, 29 Jul 2022 01:33:53 +0000 Staysfit 2274542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I am returning the dresses. There is something about them I cannot identify that is causing doubt. &nbsp;It’s a signal to me that I should keep looking. &nbsp;<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I am following Angie’s advice regarding the jeans, which means keeping the light wash jeans (Mother and L’Agence) and the larger size Paige jeans. &nbsp;I’m also keeping the Rosa’s. &nbsp;My NAS goal has been to find new jeans, so four pairs is okay. &nbsp;Success! &nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>I’m nervous about hacking the hems, so please expect a hem hacking post from me in the near future! &nbsp;<br /></div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/decision-timeugh#post-2274480 Thu, 28 Jul 2022 17:32:56 +0000 Angie 2274480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Staysfit</b>, I prefer the larger size of the Paige, but don't want them to feel like they're falling off, or going to fall off in a few hours! Which size feels better?&nbsp;</p> <p>I agree with <b>Ophelia,</b> that GENERALLY I prefer the lighter wash jeans in this assortment because they highlight your awesome shape just a little more. I find the light washes very flattering </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/decision-timeugh#post-2274449 Thu, 28 Jul 2022 14:52:36 +0000 kellygirl 2274449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I’m no help but you look amazing from the front and the back!

No worries at all :)</p> <p>Which dress size do YOU prefer?

I still like the small but there is the semi-body-con effect. I think it looks fab but you may be conscious of it, iykwim. The medium is fine too, for the skimming effect. I don’t think you’d go wrong either way. But I’d go for the small, &amp; I don’t wear clothes that are “tight.”<br /> I’m also useless on the jeans because I think they all look good, even the last pair since loose jeans are now a thing. But I think with your shape, I like the Mother &amp; the L’Agence because they are lighter color &amp; highlight your figure more, in a good way! You have nothing to fear from the rear! : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/decision-timeugh#post-2274424 Thu, 28 Jul 2022 12:13:48 +0000 Staysfit 2274424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After seeing the backside, my favorite jeans are the Rosa’s but they are too big! So sad, will try to get the 27’s.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am not in love with the rear view of either of the bootcut jeans, although I think that is due to the funny gathering of material around my calves since they are too long (without shoes plus need a hack). &nbsp;I have a slight preference for the narrower more gradual flare of the Paige jeans over the L’Agence jeans. &nbsp;To my eye they look more balanced with my rectangular, slight IT frame (more obvious from the rear). &nbsp;I need to try to cuff them and retake the photos. &nbsp;This may be a big ask for Mr. Staysfit who does not love to take pictures. &nbsp;:-)</p> <p>Also, which size of the Paige jeans? &nbsp;The larger or the smaller? &nbsp;Still unsure…..Angie says larger based on the front view. &nbsp;</p> <p> <div><br /></div><div>I have mixed feelings about the straight leg Mother jeans. &nbsp;They may not be the most flattering in the rear. I like the wash, which is different than anything else I own. &nbsp;They are comfy. &nbsp;I still need to try them with my longer shaft booties </p> <p>DH prefers the smaller&nbsp;dress. &nbsp;Both have a fold line on the rear which needs some steaming. &nbsp;(that’s not my undies). &nbsp;I’m still undecided.</p> </div><div><br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/decision-timeugh#post-2274421 Thu, 28 Jul 2022 12:06:06 +0000 cjh 2274421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2, 3 and 5 looks best to me from behind.

Love the dress, the Rosas and the light blue sweater, and the Paige jeans in your usual size. Either size of the dress appears to work; choose what feels better.

I have tried on things that look great from the front but whoa! Not from the back. However, that is my own figure challenge which is why I tend to keep it in mind. You may have nothing to worry about back there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/decision-timeugh#post-2274310 Wed, 27 Jul 2022 23:33:47 +0000 Angie 2274310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the way the M dress fits in pic #2. It seems to drape better in a more fluid fit. You can go either way, though.

Definitely keep the smaller size. They stretch.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/decision-timeugh#post-2274251 Wed, 27 Jul 2022 18:34:15 +0000 ophelia 2274251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was too distracted by the tops to notice jeans—*love* the light blue sweater &amp; the pink top! Look like great colors for you. (I also like the cut &amp; color of the striped top.) </p> <p>Imo, from a limited front only view (my own probs are all w/ back views) that dress is perfect in color &amp; cut &amp; size! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/decision-timeugh#post-2274244 Wed, 27 Jul 2022 17:47:28 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2274244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Rosas look great! <br /></div><div>So do the Mother jeans in 2; they are described as "ankle", so not meant to be full length. I like Angie's suggestion of cuffing, or wearing with booties.</div><div>I also like #4 and #7 or #8 (I can't see the difference in the photos). Both wows! For some reason the wash in #4 looks very different from #6, and I prefer #4 from a fit and wash perspective.</div><div><br /></div><div>I like the sweater dress on you!</div><div><br /></div><div>The top in #3 looks very pretty on you. I like the solid color, and the style looks elegant on you. I think the one in #4 looks more boho than what I think of as your style. Same with the step-hem jeans.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/decision-timeugh#post-2274240 Wed, 27 Jul 2022 17:13:12 +0000 Angie 2274240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for showing us,<b> Staysfit</b>! Lots of great options :)</p> <p>Here's my two cents:</p> <div>#1 - looks good! Needs a roll or cuff.</div><div><br /></div><div>#2 - great sleek fit! Needs a little roll or cuff to offset the length. Might be fine with high shaft booties, though. </div><div><br /></div><div>#3 - agree that the Rosa’s are better.</div><div><br /></div><div>#4 - KILLER. LOVE these, and length needs a bit of a hack! Pretty blouse too. My fave!&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>#5 - KILLER. If you’re interested, one of my clients sized up in this dress to create a straight fit, and it looked just as fab. </div><div><br /></div><div>#6 - I prefer the larger size. </div><div><br /></div><div>$7 - Again, I prefer the larger size.</div><div><br /></div><div>#8 - KILLER. Slight hack needed. Hem for heels. Cuff with flats.</p> <p>You did well!&nbsp; </p> <p> </div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/decision-timeugh#post-2274229 Wed, 27 Jul 2022 16:30:28 +0000 Suz 2274229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That blue sweater is divine on you. I also love the Rosas. I am not familiar with them. I only know the Dre BF style. Are these higher waist? I think they look great on you. And it sounds like they also make you happy.&nbsp;</p> <p>My next fave jeans are the Paige -- I am not sure about size since it is harder to judge with the darker wash. I would say whichever ones feel best.&nbsp;</p> <p>The grey dress is fantastic on you! To me, that's a keeper because I see it as easy to wear at work -- not too fussy but still professional. It does not look too small in the photos but you have a clearer sense of how it feels and where it clings in real life.&nbsp;</p> <p>It is hard to judge the tops in 3/4 -- do they replace something you are passing along?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/decision-timeugh#post-2274228 Wed, 27 Jul 2022 16:25:07 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2274228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the color of the lighter sweater. How did I miss that one? Also the Manhattan jeans in your normal size are my preference. I also like that pink top on you, though it seems quite large.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/decision-timeugh#post-2274222 Wed, 27 Jul 2022 15:45:39 +0000 cat2 2274222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heading into fall, I like the darker wash jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/decision-timeugh#post-2274220 Wed, 27 Jul 2022 15:40:34 +0000 slim cat 2274220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Rag and Bone boyfriend jeans usually look the best cuffed ( going size down in boyfriend jeans is often needed - try it if possible, or consider wearing belt if you like slightly slouchy look ). The Paige jeans - smaller size for sure and a bit of shortening - they are too long almost on everyone ( love them on you! ).&nbsp;<br />I like the pink blouse and great dress - looks very nice ( bigger size is not needed I think ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/decision-timeugh#post-2274201 Wed, 27 Jul 2022 13:04:11 +0000 RobinF 2274201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the sweater dress, the lighter blue sweater and the pink top. I'd like to see the first jeans cuffed a little bit but like them overall, nice fit and nice shade of blue. I also love the dark jeans, whichever size feels best to you. Not crazy about the stepped-hem jeans. They just look a little off to me. I like the jeans in #4 but they look too long to me. Maybe the picture angle is throwing that off. You have a nice variety here, will you keep more than one pair?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/decision-timeugh#post-2274200 Wed, 27 Jul 2022 12:45:36 +0000 Bijou 2274200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the sweater in #1, a gorgeous colour on you. My favourite jeans are the Paige. I would go with the smaller size as denim generally stretches. The sweater dress is beautiful on you and does not look small, but you need to feel great in it in order for it to earn a place in your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/decision-timeugh#post-2274198 Wed, 27 Jul 2022 12:26:02 +0000 rachylou 2274198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep the sweater dress, looks great. The first pair of jeans are my fave actually; they look the most au courant to me. I also really like the Paige jeans. Honestly both sizes looks good to me: do they feel any different? </p>
