The answer is, I'm not sure? I've never owned real jeggings (with the elastic waist) before. I do think I'd definitely wear them under dresses when it's too cold for normal leggings. I guess this will be a good test case. As many of you have pointed out, I already own them, so why not try and see what happens. plus honestly I haven't had the best luck selling things on eBay lately, and I'm not sure I want to deal with that right now. If it turns out I'm not wearing them, I'll consider selling in the spring or next fall. And as Angie says, long winters. Having additional options that will tuck into snow boots and be warm is never a bad thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-duplicate-keep-or-sell#post-1591984 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 11:38:50 +0000 kkards 1591984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i'm with Shevia, if you can recoup most of what you paid, sell them and use the money for something else, if you'd only get a fraction of what you paid, keep.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-duplicate-keep-or-sell#post-1591979 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 11:05:03 +0000 Staysfit 1591979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would keep both, it seems there is a purpose for both, and you like them. &nbsp;I think you would get use out of both. &nbsp;If you find you don't then you can sell one of them on -----E Bay &nbsp;:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-duplicate-keep-or-sell#post-1591962 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 09:24:56 +0000 unfrumped 1591962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would decide completely on fit/ love and not the dupe issue. So try on with your tops &amp; tunics. If they feel great and work better in any way than the Avedons for some things-- make a smoother outfit-and especially if you want to go more in tgat direction( winter sweater dress looks, for example) keep them and target them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-duplicate-keep-or-sell#post-1591922 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 04:41:09 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1591922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep. It's a color and fabric you like, and as you said, they work for different purposes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-duplicate-keep-or-sell#post-1591914 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 04:16:06 +0000 Meow 1591914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Duplicate. You won't get the wear out of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-duplicate-keep-or-sell#post-1591906 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 04:08:43 +0000 Jaime 1591906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly I would consider the realistic amount you make selling and then figure out if they are worth it as a backup for under dresses and such. Given they weren't super expensive to begin with, I think that would lead to keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-duplicate-keep-or-sell#post-1591884 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 03:12:48 +0000 annagybe 1591884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sell.<br /> I really don't like the elastic waist. Plus I'm not sure that waist will wear or wash well. Those big elastic waists go wonky so easily. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-duplicate-keep-or-sell#post-1591880 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 02:54:06 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1591880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I'll be the doubter - will you really wear them that much? I know you wear more tunics than I do, so maybe my experience is different. But I found that I bought elastic waist jeggings and leggings and then wore them so rarely (outside of the house) that it was silly for me to keep buying them. I thought they were an interesting option and then found that when the rubber hit the road I was just more comfortable with pants with a real waistband and zipper and pockets, even if I was wearing a longer top over them.</p> <p>That said, you own them and it's too late to return, so you'd have to balance whatever you might get out of them at resale against the usefulness of having a pseudo-backup. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-duplicate-keep-or-sell#post-1591851 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 00:56:27 +0000 Angie 1591851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep.

I think of them only as jeans, so I wouldn't consider the leggings as a dupe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-duplicate-keep-or-sell#post-1591822 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 23:04:18 +0000 Sal 1591822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would keep, I think there are times that a jegging will work well, for layering purposes.</p> <p>I love the jeans on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-duplicate-keep-or-sell#post-1591820 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 22:46:29 +0000 Aziraphale 1591820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep. If you find something that works, and you know you'll wear it, why not? I often buy multiples of the exact same item (same colour and everything) and I'm never sorry. This is two similar-looking but not actually identical items that will probably get worn a lot.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-duplicate-keep-or-sell#post-1591817 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 22:42:04 +0000 Peri 1591817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep. What's wrong with having a duplicate? You already have it, it's not like trying to save and not buy something. Besides, a duplicate is sometimes just smart!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-duplicate-keep-or-sell#post-1591809 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 21:46:22 +0000 shedev 1591809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd keep the paiges, they will make the holy grail pants last longer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-duplicate-keep-or-sell#post-1591771 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 18:56:43 +0000 Anonymous 1591771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would keep the Paiges. You'll find the extra options really useful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-duplicate-keep-or-sell#post-1591750 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 18:24:30 +0000 Diana 1591750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greyscale, that's a good point. I should wear them around the house a bit - I'm not so worried about them sliding down but I do sometimes have issues with wide elastic bands and my short waist (they fold up funny when I sit sometimes, which is uncomfortable.).<br /> These don't come up to my natural waist though (although they are higher than the avedons) so I'm hoping it won't be an issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-duplicate-keep-or-sell#post-1591743 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 18:09:29 +0000 catgirl 1591743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd keep in case you need a backup for either pair. I had the Avedons in black but they wouldn't stay up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-duplicate-keep-or-sell#post-1591742 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 18:08:29 +0000 Greyscale 1591742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me it would be a comfort question, since I have trouble finding true skinnies that don't squish me uncomfortably. If the jeggings are comfortable, I'd keep them as a useful duplicate to wear with longer tops. The moto detail does add something different. But you say the tags are still on - have you worn them around the house enough to know how well they work for you? I know jegging and legging tops can sometimes slide down my waist, for instance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-duplicate-keep-or-sell#post-1591741 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 17:59:26 +0000 rachylou 1591741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I like the way they look... I'd be inclined to keep... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-duplicate-keep-or-sell#post-1591731 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 17:40:19 +0000 Diana 1591731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last winter, my beloved charcoal grey CoH Slick Avedon skinnies (see pictures below) fell apart.&nbsp; These were my favorite super skinnies/jeggings (I also own them in black) and I was very sad.&nbsp; Since then I've been looking for a replacement.&nbsp; </p> <p>A few months ago I spied and immediately purchased these Paige Glam Rock jeggings at the Rack (see the find below).&nbsp; They are the exact same amazing fabric as the Avedons and a very similar dark grey color. The fit is good.&nbsp; However, they are true leggings, and not skinnies/jeggings, since they have an elastic waist and no pockets or fly. This makes them less versatile than my old Avedons were since I can only really wear them with long tunics and dresses.&nbsp; I also slightly feel as if I'm wearing maternity pants bc of the big elastic waist! (Not that anyone would be able to see it).</p> <p>OK, so all this is fine and well.&nbsp; I was happy with these and OK with the limitations.&nbsp; BUT then I found and purchased (new without tags) the original grey Avedons on eBay!&nbsp; The holy grail!&nbsp; </p> <p>So... I am absolutely keeping the Avedons.&nbsp; That's not a question.&nbsp; The question is whether I should ALSO keep the Paiges.&nbsp; They are, as already noted, more legging-like.&nbsp; This does limit their ability to be worn with shorter tops, BUT the flat front and lack of buttons/pockets makes a smoother silhouette under certain fitted tops and dresses... they also have a nice little moto detailing at the knee.&nbsp; (The avedons are plain).&nbsp; I'm also outside of the return window so I'd have to sell them (the tags are still on though), either here or on ebay, and might not get my entire purchase price back.&nbsp; They might also help me split wears, thus making the Avedons last longer.</p> <p>So what do you think?&nbsp; Keep or sell?&nbsp; </p> <p>ETA: Just to be clear, the two photos are of the Avedons, which I am keeping.&nbsp; I don't have any photos of me wearing the Paiges but they look really, really similar if you can't see the waist/pockets.</p>
