Jean, if you get them, be warned that you will need to shrink them in the dryer. The pair I got seemed a little too big, but they shrunk about a size. Not so much width wise, but lengthwise. Once you get all the shrink out of them, they will stretch a bit with wear, but not a horrible amount. (No baggy butt or saggy knee syndrome). I do run them through the dryer with every wash anyway - they are my only jeans I put in the dryer! Also I think Maya tried these and had trouble getting them over her foot or calf? I can't remember now. But just warning that they are SUPER skinny in the calves. Really, they are like wearing leggings - jeggings? shiny on "First of fall" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-of-fall#post-93366 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 17:16:27 +0000 shiny 93366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Jean, I got them last winter, in the store, but it's these: <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?itemdescription=true&itemCount=60&startValue=1&selectedProductColor=&sortby=&id=15886211&parentid=W_APP_JEANS_CIGARETTE&sortProperties=+subCategoryPosition,+product.marketingPriority,-product.startDate&navCount=81&navAction=poppushpushpush&color=&pushId=W_APP_JEANS_CIGARETTE&popId=W_APP_JEANS&prepushId=WOMENS_APPAREL" rel="nofollow">http://www.urbanoutfitters.com.....NS_APPAREL</a> BDG High-Rise Cigarette jeans....

I did not see any online with a 10 inch rise. Thanks!!! shiny on "First of fall" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-of-fall#post-93310 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 14:21:59 +0000 shiny 93310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Jean, those are the UO jeans. They are super skinny but have a lot of stretch in them and are very comfy with a 10 inch rise!

I love the way your hair look part on the side and the blouse looks wonderful on you... And the jacket? WOW!! O.O The skinny jeans and the golden flat are pair so wonderfully together!! cciele on "First of fall" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-of-fall#post-93195 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 03:58:11 +0000 cciele 93195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Two thumbs up, with and without jacket! I like how the blouse is structured but is loose around the middle area.

I think it scores for great fit and super stylish.. You will get your money's worth out of that look.

Not as boxy and long. What a great find- I can imagine this being so versatile. Sarah on "First of fall" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-of-fall#post-93020 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 16:44:28 +0000 Sarah 93020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, I've been to AT recently. :D I just got this <a href="http://www.anntaylor.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=21171&N=1200007&pCategoryId=3939&categoryId=180&Ns=CATEGORY_SEQ_180&loc=LN&defaultColor=Malachite&defaultSizeType=Regular" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylor.com/catal.....pe=Regular</a> in grey with the brown faux croc belt. Hehe. :) I love the leather jacket and this top <a href="http://www.anntaylor.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=20830&N=1200005&pCategoryId=3939&categoryId=183&Ns=CATEGORY_SEQ_183&loc=LN&defaultColor=Black&defaultSizeType=Regular" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylor.com/catal.....pe=Regular</a> Lots of goodies! shiny on "First of fall" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-of-fall#post-93018 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 16:41:49 +0000 shiny 93018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sarah - definitely get over to AT. I am really loving their stuff this fall. They've taken things up a notch, I think. I went crazy there recently - three tops, two slacks, a pencil skirt and a scarf - and I could have done worse damage than that! There was just too much to love. It's *almost* as if AT has been following YLF! I was particularly surprised to find their pants and skirts fit me well - that was never the case in the past; they'd be too baggy in the hips. They've redone everything so if you haven't been in there in awhile, try everything on and don't assume. bella on "First of fall" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-of-fall#post-93013 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 16:35:28 +0000 bella 93013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look great! shiny on "First of fall" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-of-fall#post-93006 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 16:15:03 +0000 shiny 93006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That's so funny Angie... I have lots of blouses that are voluminous like this - I just like to wear them with a cardi or blazer that nips them in at the waist!

You look gorgeous. I want to steal both your blouse and the jacket. Sarah on "First of fall" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-of-fall#post-92967 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 14:25:04 +0000 Sarah 92967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look fantastic! I love the blouse (especially the neckline) and the jacket looks perfect for you. I may have to swing by AT today. :D And I love the Starry Night reference. Most couples have their songs, but we have our painting, and that's it. Our living room and kitchen were designed around that painting, and we have since added the other two "star series" paintings to that great room area of our house. velvetychocolate on "First of fall" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-of-fall#post-92962 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 13:58:26 +0000 velvetychocolate 92962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a great outfit! You look gorgeous. Love the colours/pattern in that new top too.

I like that boyfriend blazer on you because it's not super-long, it's very proportional; it will be in style long after the fab passes. The top is divine! Good for you for finding new styles of tops; this really works for you. rute on "First of fall" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-of-fall#post-92925 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 08:11:01 +0000 rute 92925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh.. love the blouse! the pattern is gorgeous!

I think you ROCK the bf blazer - you've found one that fits you well and looks sleek and chic! I'm also growing to appreciate the versatility of sleeveless tops. agrace on "First of fall" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-of-fall#post-92879 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 03:31:53 +0000 agrace 92879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it looks very very cute!

Hah! Volume is your friend. This ensemble gets one huge big fat KILLER rating. chewyspaghetti on "First of fall" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-of-fall#post-92870 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 01:39:25 +0000 chewyspaghetti 92870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Last winter, I was often in corduorey pants, long john top and bottom, a wool sweater and a coat and hat- in the house! Sometimes I was still cold. LOL shiny on "First of fall" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-of-fall#post-92867 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 01:33:44 +0000 shiny 92867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You know, Chewy, I've given up on sleeves. I find that a sleeveless top is the most versatile. Just wear a cami plus sweater or blazer in the cooler months. I do have long sleeve tops but I really don't wear them anywhere near as often. And yep it gets super cold here. (Then again, you know I run warm! So YMMV!) chewyspaghetti on "First of fall" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-of-fall#post-92863 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 01:25:07 +0000 chewyspaghetti 92863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I do see the Starry Night! I think the boydfriend jacket works- it doesn't look too young. I think it's just because you remember wearing it when you were young that it feels young to you. I need a top like that, but with sleeves! Dh is working late and throwing my gym schedule off tonight, so I may swing by Kohl's to see if they have anything. shiny on "First of fall" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-of-fall#post-92860 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 01:18:49 +0000 shiny 92860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ P.s. To Chewy... this blouse is the perfect tummy disguise.. you can't see it so much in the angle of this pic, but it angles in ever so slightly at the waist, so I still have a figure and it's not completely boxy. Yet loose and forgiving over the tum! shiny on "First of fall" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-of-fall#post-92859 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 01:16:27 +0000 shiny 92859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ In my quest to find tops I can wear without a layer, I recently added this cute AT blouse - which I imagine will be perfect for our HK trip next month! <a href="http://s386.photobucket.com/albums/oo309/lookingfabat43/fall%202009/?action=view&current=august010.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s386.photobucket.com/al.....ust010.jpg</a> I fell in love with this blouse instantly because it reminds me of the Van Gogh painting Starry Night. Can you see it? Here is the same outfit with new Theory boyfriend blazer I bought over the summer at Filene's Basement: <a href="http://s386.photobucket.com/albums/oo309/lookingfabat43/fall%202009/?action=view&current=august011.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s386.photobucket.com/al.....ust011.jpg</a> I had my eye on this jacket last fall, but it was too pricey. Then when I found it for about $35 on clearance, I couldn't resist! I have wanted a BF blazer since the trend hit last year. But I had my doubts today... kept wondering if I should really be wearing this at my age .... the silhouette of this outfit really reminds me of what I wore in college! What do you think?? Can I pull it off?
