The smaller size coco's look PERFECT! Very flattering on you! Excited to hear about the other washes, too.&nbsp; I own only one pair of shorts and usually save them for travel, but those button-front ones are SO COOL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dl1961-coco-jeans-and-other-items-i%e2%80%99m-considering#post-2012395 Fri, 15 Mar 2019 11:45:30 +0000 Adriana 2012395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the coco jeans, but I like your other pair as well. A tiny bit of whiskering I like sometimes better then a uniform (light) blue. Like a dazzle painting. But black must be black. The black vest and dress looks promising for summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dl1961-coco-jeans-and-other-items-i%e2%80%99m-considering#post-2012381 Fri, 15 Mar 2019 11:04:05 +0000 Anonymous 2012381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first jeans too, and agree too much whiskering on the second. I did a quick jeans hunt too yesterday, but decided to wait it till fall. Based on yesterdays sandals (!!) weather, we won't be needing jeans soon </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dl1961-coco-jeans-and-other-items-i%e2%80%99m-considering#post-2012374 Fri, 15 Mar 2019 10:36:46 +0000 Lucy 2012374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the jeans for you! Perfect. I don't know why it is so hard to find good dark jeans. And the shorts definitely look promising if they are comfy I also like the khaki dress, a good casual summer dress is always useful.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dl1961-coco-jeans-and-other-items-i%e2%80%99m-considering#post-2012337 Fri, 15 Mar 2019 04:32:47 +0000 RainB 2012337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the Coco jeans on you! Wish I could find a similar pair myself (and look so fab in them). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dl1961-coco-jeans-and-other-items-i%e2%80%99m-considering#post-2012335 Fri, 15 Mar 2019 03:59:19 +0000 Angie 2012335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOOOHOOO. I LOVE THE 29's. #1 to #5 KILLER. The DL's are a winner.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dl1961-coco-jeans-and-other-items-i%e2%80%99m-considering#post-2012324 Fri, 15 Mar 2019 02:17:18 +0000 Aquamarine 2012324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a couple of pairs of the Harpers. There are more uniform washes around. Having said that, I like the DLs on you a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dl1961-coco-jeans-and-other-items-i%e2%80%99m-considering#post-2012322 Fri, 15 Mar 2019 02:10:02 +0000 Janet 2012322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t know why so many brands persist in doing the obvious whiskering treatment — it’s getting old to me too unless it’s quite subtle and natural looking in the overall look of the wash. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve found what would have been “the one” for fit except for some stupid degree of whiskering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dl1961-coco-jeans-and-other-items-i%e2%80%99m-considering#post-2012318 Fri, 15 Mar 2019 01:57:51 +0000 Jaime 2012318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dark jeans look perfect on you. I am completely over whiskering so the second pair is not interesting .&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dl1961-coco-jeans-and-other-items-i%e2%80%99m-considering#post-2012307 Fri, 15 Mar 2019 00:50:20 +0000 Jessikams 2012307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That anthro stuff is cuuuuuute!<br /> And the jeans look GREAT on you. The side view is especially great- you look SO slim and curvy. Great find! Jeans shopping is the worst. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dl1961-coco-jeans-and-other-items-i%e2%80%99m-considering#post-2012301 Fri, 15 Mar 2019 00:12:53 +0000 Marilyn 2012301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great finds, Janet.&nbsp; I like the coco jeans as well.&nbsp; Nice fit and lots of length for you.&nbsp; As much as I love how AG's fit I find the amount of whiskering is often excessive....at least for me.&nbsp; It's been a deal breaker for me several times. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dl1961-coco-jeans-and-other-items-i%e2%80%99m-considering#post-2012293 Thu, 14 Mar 2019 23:19:16 +0000 Brooklyn 2012293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The coco jeans look good. And I second Sally on the shorts. Why are shorts with ease around the legs so impossible to find. I also like the look of the dress. And yay to the vest. I hope vests are coming back. Exciting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dl1961-coco-jeans-and-other-items-i%e2%80%99m-considering#post-2012292 Thu, 14 Mar 2019 22:48:29 +0000 Kathie 2012292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the Coco's on you (though obviously I'm biased, since I love the ones I have.) So glad you tried the smaller size! Cute finds at Anthro, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dl1961-coco-jeans-and-other-items-i%e2%80%99m-considering#post-2012284 Thu, 14 Mar 2019 22:16:26 +0000 delurked 2012284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The AGs look good from the side, but I much prefer the pics 1-5. Glad you found some that work for you. </p> <p>Did you get the Anthro items in pics, or order them to try? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dl1961-coco-jeans-and-other-items-i%e2%80%99m-considering#post-2012283 Thu, 14 Mar 2019 22:09:12 +0000 Sal 2012283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans are perfect - a great modern classic style and a lovely fit.&nbsp; The other jeans are good but I agree with your assessment re whiskering.</p> <p>The other suggestions are good too and I support buying any shorts that look good as I find them impossible to find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dl1961-coco-jeans-and-other-items-i%e2%80%99m-considering#post-2012267 Thu, 14 Mar 2019 21:59:14 +0000 Bennett 2012267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Coco jeans look like perfection on you! I love a single turn-up and the amount you have in picture #4 gives just enough of a deep cuff and just enough ankle (to show off those loafers!). The vest is intriguing to me as a layering piece, I need to think creatively about how I could use it. Thanks for the finds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dl1961-coco-jeans-and-other-items-i%e2%80%99m-considering#post-2012258 Thu, 14 Mar 2019 21:20:33 +0000 Janet 2012258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This straight-leg jeans search led me to take a good look at my current straight leg jeans, and oh boy do I need new ones. My old Paige straight legs are actually getting so thin in the backside that If I hold them up to the light I can see the light through them quite easily. I think it’s time they went to live out their final days at the ranch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dl1961-coco-jeans-and-other-items-i%e2%80%99m-considering#post-2012212 Thu, 14 Mar 2019 20:50:46 +0000 Janet 2012212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After trying the Coco jeans that Angie recommended in my usual size and finding them a bit loose in the waist and upper hip, I decided to order them a size down. Pics 1-5 show them in this smaller size (29), which seems a much better fit on me. </p> <p>Funnily enough, even though both the 30’s and 29’s were “talls,” the 29s are a full inch longer than the 30s. I don’t mind this, as so many jeans are just that little bit too short on me, and I’d rather have a little extra and hem half an inch than feel like I’m wearing floods. These are a decent straight leg width that can be worn full-length, cuffed or rolled. </p> <p>Pics 6-8 I also like the AG Harpers but as you can see, they have a narrower, almost closer to a skinny fit, which is not what I want — I am fully stocked on skinnies and we are coming into the time of year when I gravitate to looser, more airy fits for comfort sake. Plus, I don’t care for that whiskering right at the low hip where I do not need horizontal emphasis. It’s a shame because I like that slightly lighter wash. </p> <p>Before I commit to the Cocos, I am ordering them in a couple of other washes from Amazon Prime Wardrobe. I’ll see if I like those washes equally well or better than this dark wash. I’m usually a fan of a good uniform dark wash, but I tend to wear these straighter leg styles in the spring and fall, when I wouldn’t mind a lighter color. Sheesh, jeans shopping is HARD. </p> <p>Also, the other day I had a look around Anthro, where I found some potential good wardrobe additions for summer. Finds are no longer available for Anthro so I will try to add links later from my computer if anyone is interested. </p> <p>Pic 9 Neutral off-white/cream lightweight sweater. Nice texture and easy fit with just a slight amount of boxiness. Good cropped length that is not too short. There is a pretty coral color but I liked the cream for me. </p> <p>Pic 10. This little black vest strikes me as potentially really versatile. It’s a knit so spans the casual-dressy spectrum well, and it looks good buttoned up as a top or open as a vest over a top or dress. Good coverage under the arm so it’s comforable to wear by itself. May run a little big as I comfortably took a small.</p> <p>11. This ribbed dress is really cute and I love the idea of a casual knit midi dress, but I think it kinda emphasizes my boobs. I need to try it on at home with a minimzer bra and see if it passes muster. I don’t wear a lot of olive, but I do like it and I think the color is JFE on me. </p> <p>12. Wanderer button front shorts. No-brainer! I need new shorts this year and these are easy and casual, a great length for me, and a loose fit (which I prefer in shorts) even a size down from my usual — I could wear these in a 28 and that never happens. I may get another color if they offer more later. </p> <p>13. Navy tank top. Simple basic with a twist. I could use more navy in my summer wardrobe, and it fits nicely (I took a small). </p> <p>Yikes, looks like March may be my month to break my shopping limit. But I’m inclined to jump on good summer stuff now while it’s in stock in my sizes. </p>
