As Shannon noted the jeans just look like they are pulled up too high. Most of the BF's I have seen are a lower rise. If you don't mind me being very direct, they are creating an outline of your lower lady bits. I do think they need to be worn just a little lower and slouchier. Other than that, I love the light wash and the leg line is great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-rockin-boyfriends#post-1213017 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 09:25:13 +0000 Ingunn 1213017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know how you feel about the BF's, because I've only recently given in to the trend, too! I think you look fab in them, and actually, lowering the waistline a bit like Shannon suggested, will probably make you feel even more fab in them. that is my experience, anyway </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-rockin-boyfriends#post-1212998 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 07:10:43 +0000 EveningMood 1212998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you! I had the same qualms about BF's and now I can't live without them. Also, they are making me want to try new things and move away from figure flattery. They are making me more confident. My BF's and YLF, of course enjoy them, you look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-rockin-boyfriends#post-1212962 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 05:02:29 +0000 catgirl 1212962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Exactly what Shannon said.&nbsp; You will come to love these and never go back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-rockin-boyfriends#post-1212937 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 04:41:17 +0000 Beth Ann 1212937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love zebra print!&nbsp; It looks great on you.</p> <p>I'm a BF gal myself, and many sizes larger than you!&nbsp; I do like to wear my BF's low on the waist and I think it's actually more slimming, while it adds a bit of "swagger" to the look.&nbsp; Lower on the waist actually visually slims the hips a bit.&nbsp; There is a bit of waist surrender involved.&nbsp; </p> <p>The light, but not distressed wash is a fab choice for spring and summer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-rockin-boyfriends#post-1212929 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 04:30:17 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1212929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I so appreciate the input and now have to wrap my brain around trying that... i am really not sure having it lower and more baggy in the crotch is going to appeal to me at all... I love feminine style and may have to accept it just isn't me.. I will play with it and take photos for a real view since the mirror is a liar..Thanks again for the honest feedback and suggestions!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-rockin-boyfriends#post-1212280 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 16:45:38 +0000 Marmee 1212280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! &nbsp;I'm so glad that you tried the boyfriends! &nbsp;Love that jacket. &nbsp;Like others have commented, I think you should try pulling the waistband down a bit. &nbsp;It might be hard mentally to sacrifice a slimmer look, but I think in the end the look will be more current. &nbsp;It's taken me a while, but I love my baggy bfs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-rockin-boyfriends#post-1212257 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 16:18:27 +0000 Claudia 1212257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, loosen the belt and wear lower. The slouchy fit takes some getting use to after all the skinny jean fits, but I think you'll end up loving your&nbsp;BF jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-rockin-boyfriends#post-1212239 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 15:50:37 +0000 rabbit 1212239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! &nbsp;I love the zebra jacket with the faded blue like Shannon and the white bag makes it. &nbsp;I&nbsp;&nbsp;also agree that it might be worth an experiment to belt a little lower down and see how that looks/feels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-rockin-boyfriends#post-1212180 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 13:46:53 +0000 lyn67 1212180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow,&nbsp; what a great &nbsp;animal you have!:-) Love pushing you out of the comfort zones with the BF-s! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-rockin-boyfriends#post-1212176 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 13:39:48 +0000 Ornella 1212176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them on you Tracy! Great outfit and great bag - I love this size of bag for you.&nbsp;Yay for stepping out of the comfort zone and I really hope you get to enjoy this fab addition in your wardrobe.</p> <p>It's interesting what you say about feeling not the size you actually are. I've actually read something about it recently, how weight loss often does not mean&nbsp;the brain is in sync&nbsp;with the body even when the goal is reached, as if it needs time to actually&nbsp;catch up. Have you explored this phenomenon further?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-rockin-boyfriends#post-1212151 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 13:22:13 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1212151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you for stepping outside your comfort zone Tracey - that can be a tough thing to do. I love the crisp black and white of the zebra jacket with the faded denim - it's a fabulous combination. I like the fit of the BF jeans but am wondering if you can skooch them down just a little lower on the waist? They seem to be sitting just a tad high IMHO.</p> <p>The Keds are great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-rockin-boyfriends#post-1212147 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 13:18:52 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1212147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I know I am late to the party,.. While I don't jump on every trend bandwagaon, boyfriends have been this one that both tempted me and gave me nightmares.... I have succeeded in weight loss, but don't think I've yet achieved seeing the results realistlcally... It still amazes me every time I get a size small in anything or size 6, as I feel bigger... So, the idea of boyfreind jeans just felt like they would do more to widen my hips and quite frankly scared me into not even trying any..</p> <p>I knew for my Mom on the Go lifestyle that boyfreinds make a lot of sense, and that I wanted a light shade with no signs of extreme wear of ripping... When I ordered a pair of shoes from JustFab and got a Free item and saw these jeans I decided to go for it....</p> <p>I went completely outside my comfort zone and even tucked the shirt and added a belt... If I'm gonna do it, I might as well go all in!!! I have to say, I don't hate it...let's face it I was never going to love it... It doesn't spark my sassy vibe that let's me know when my outsides match my insides... I however was pleasantly surprised that I didn't hate it...I will actually wear them again...</p> <p>I am rocking them with my newest shoe addition, a pair of<a rel="nofollow" href="http://http://www.6pm.com/keds-champion-floral-black"> floral Keds from 6pm.com..</a> I really do need some sporty flats in my life...</p> <p>Every time I wear this zebra jacket I love it more and more... add it to any outfit and it makes a statement.... and with the black and white it added, yet another perfect time for me to wear the 'dainlty' Ying/Yang necklace.... </p>
