I love wearing jeans. And I have more than I could really claim I <i>need</i>. Finding ones that fit well makes all the difference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-a-jean-intervention-only-kinda#post-1492499 Sat, 16 May 2015 19:31:39 +0000 Joyce B 1492499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>CJs have a great fit.

And earlier this spring I tried a pair of Cookie Johnson jeans at Nordstrom and really liked them, so since then I've been haunting eBay for pairs. So far I've scored one pair of white straight legs, and a blue pair from an Amazon one-day deal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-a-jean-intervention-only-kinda#post-1492433 Sat, 16 May 2015 15:40:56 +0000 rachylou 1492433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cookie jeans - ok that's just to cool a name... Jus' saying :)</p> <p>And it's all true - I have a weekend capsule shelf now... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-a-jean-intervention-only-kinda#post-1492425 Sat, 16 May 2015 15:31:08 +0000 frannieb 1492425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to know Angie takes full responsability - someone has to ;)</p> <p>Joy - it is comforting to hear someone who has gone through the same evolution of no jeans to jeans. it is just so weird for me. &nbsp;I think it is the permission of allowing ourselves to spend money on non-work clothes - which for some reason before YLF I really didn't do. Yet I have to get dressed.</p> <p>Ledonna - When hubby approves i jump because usually he rolls his eyes at my shopping</p> <p>Karie - love that you are on a first name basis for your jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-a-jean-intervention-only-kinda#post-1492407 Sat, 16 May 2015 14:28:41 +0000 Karie 1492407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Count me in for the group that needs a jean intervention! I love the Resolution Slim Straights and the Skimmers so much that we're on a first name basis over at my local Gap store. And don't even get me started on needing a shoe intervention. I'm sitting here staring at 3 new pairs, and two of them have to go back...well maybe just one... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-a-jean-intervention-only-kinda#post-1492403 Sat, 16 May 2015 14:20:35 +0000 Ledonna N. 1492403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey now, No tailoring and hubby approved. Good job. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-a-jean-intervention-only-kinda#post-1492400 Sat, 16 May 2015 14:15:00 +0000 Anonymous 1492400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The same experience. When I found YLF I did not own a pair of jeans and hadn't for decades. I found that they were a lot more flattering than trousers on my body and have owned many since. At first I would only look at dark wash straight styles, but have branched out from that. If you have hot summers, consider or cut off some to knee length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-a-jean-intervention-only-kinda#post-1492385 Sat, 16 May 2015 13:54:40 +0000 Angie 1492385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAH. I take full - and proud - responsibility. ENJOY your jeans.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-a-jean-intervention-only-kinda#post-1492381 Sat, 16 May 2015 13:24:15 +0000 donnat 1492381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny how that happens ... lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-a-jean-intervention-only-kinda#post-1492376 Sat, 16 May 2015 13:01:51 +0000 frannieb 1492376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have now found anouther magically jean brand - Cookie jeans by CJ Johnson - made for curvy bodies - &nbsp;No waist gapping and no need for tailoring.&nbsp;<br />After trying them on last week and the store and not buying DH looked and me and said you should have bought those jeans they looked great on you.<br />So of course an order went in.</p> <p>After years and years of not wearing jeans because of fit now I am slightly obsessed with them.</p> <p>They are now my MOTG weekend uniform.&nbsp;</p> <p>I really think it is all &nbsp;YLF fault - for years I didn't care about my weekend look and had such a disconnect between my work self and weekend self. &nbsp;Work self put together and weekend self lived in yoga pants and t-shirts - a very sloppy look. Then I discovered YLF and discovered that i can look fab on the weekends and during the work week.</p> <p>No more jeans until a pair needs to be retired - I have enough to last a while and work my summer casual work style and MOTG weekend uniform. </p>
