Actually, I am finding this shirt increasingly difficult to wear and it might be donated.</p> <p>Shiny, funny you though to pair this top with the BF's too. I feel liek this much volume on the bottom cant handle too much volume on top, but I dofeel this is a bit more body con than I am going for these days.</p> <p>Suz &amp; BethAnn, After wearing these a few hours I do wonder about the size down as well. The jodphur-ish look on the thigh has gotten larger and larger without being intentional looking. One size down in the store i didnt feel great about, in fact i thought two sizes down was better than 1 size down. Of course two sizes down just looked a lot like the denim clams I already own. A little longer but not remarkably different. So for comparative purposes I got out my light wash AG Angel's that I dont wear b/c the back pocket spacing is not quite perfect and it bugs me. DH immediately comments on HOW much more he liked those and that no one is going to notice the pocket thing. Well, the distressing is definitely much more premium looking on those and I like the overall color better too. Maybe a false denim patch could be affixed to "fix" (i.e. cover) the pocket placement issue. Or maybe i just need to go premium for BF jeans or.... Well, now I am just rambling. I am leaning toward return or exchange sizes, keep the comments coming </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-new-bf-jeans#post-1179873 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 17:48:08 +0000 shiny 1179873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, I have that very same top! I have worn it in the Fall&nbsp;with my baggy LOFT BF's - I didn't take a picture but imagine it half-tucked, with leopard pointy toe booties, cuffed higher than the bootie so that some skin shows. Then white pleather scuba jacket and red scarf.&nbsp;</p> <p>With that outfit, my top half does look extra long proportionately. Heels help a lot, and cuffing up higher, and half-tucking, so just the belt buckle is showing.&nbsp;But also I think it is the factor of higher neckline + bustiness. However I am quite fine sacrificing a little bit of figure flattery for a LOT of comfort.&nbsp;</p> <p>And yes - I prefer these worn lower on your hips -- thankfully you have a belt to keep them on! My LOFT baggy BFs would also fall down without a belt.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-new-bf-jeans#post-1179795 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 16:23:08 +0000 Suz 1179795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're better lower. I wonder about the size down, though.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-new-bf-jeans#post-1179791 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 16:21:37 +0000 Jenava 1179791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them in #5, but I don't like the top because I think it makes your waist look really long. &nbsp;I'd like t see them lower on the hip but with the half-tucked tee instead. &nbsp;I rather like them in the first photos with the gladiators, except for the aforementioned crotch scrunching. &nbsp;I have a similar pair, not quite a baggy, and with quite a lot of holes. &nbsp;I need to post some photos for advise. &nbsp;I might try them with a half-tuck like this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-new-bf-jeans#post-1179704 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 15:07:58 +0000 Anonymous 1179704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I like them lower! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-new-bf-jeans#post-1179701 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 14:58:45 +0000 kellygirl 1179701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look terrific dropped a little lower on the hip. I love the baggy BF look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-new-bf-jeans#post-1179695 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 14:44:27 +0000 sarah 1179695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also would think that a size down might work, but if they don't, they don't. I think you're going to need to wear a heel with these to pull them off, IMHO.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-new-bf-jeans#post-1179686 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 14:31:29 +0000 Sarah A 1179686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to know BethAnn, i felt like the size down had a very neither here (fitted) nor there (oversize) look but I will wear and eval stretch for certain now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-new-bf-jeans#post-1179681 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 14:27:43 +0000 Beth Ann 1179681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You got great advice already!&nbsp; The dropped crotch point made a different.&nbsp; Now, I find all my ON jeans stretch quite a bit.&nbsp; I don't mind that, but I plan for it.&nbsp; If it were I, I'd probably size down 1 size, but I understand your desire for a true baggy look.</p> <p>And I'm so envious of anyone with warmer weather! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-new-bf-jeans#post-1179668 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 14:19:09 +0000 Sarah A 1179668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, dropped them a bit more that does seem to help with the crotch poof. Giving the "at home test run" so please excuse the socks and hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-new-bf-jeans#post-1179664 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 14:17:33 +0000 Suz 1179664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed - try dropping them lower and see how they feel. You might have to roll another time then. They look nice and soft and easy to wear.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-new-bf-jeans#post-1179656 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 14:13:08 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1179656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Ceit about dropping them a little lower on the hip - other than that, fantastic! I think I might have to check these out for myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-new-bf-jeans#post-1179654 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 14:10:45 +0000 Anonymous 1179654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they might be better a bit lower -- the waist is big and up higher they are gathered and making the crotch poufy. Snugging them down a tad might fix that. They look soft and easy and comfortable to wear. I like the wash on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-new-bf-jeans#post-1179643 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 14:02:18 +0000 shiny 1179643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like baggy too! Balances out my bottom half. These are cute. Not sure if it's the picture, but something appears to be going on in the crotch.... can you loosen up your belt and scrunch these down a little lower on your waist? To drop the crotch point down some more? Or is it already well dropped and it's just the shading in the pic?</p> <p>I suggest before taking the tags off, you&nbsp;wear them in the house a full day. See how much they stretch out.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-new-bf-jeans#post-1179634 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 13:48:23 +0000 gryffin 1179634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah - I really like them.&nbsp; I think they are flattering and I love the color of the wash.&nbsp; They look really soft, just like a hug!!&nbsp;&nbsp; Thumbs up from me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-new-bf-jeans#post-1179625 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 13:41:37 +0000 Sarah A 1179625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie's post yesterday got me going to get the BF jeans checked off my 2014 shopping list and the season to wear them is arriving. My old pair (pic 4) was totally worn out in the thigh inseam and fitting tighter than I'd like (I've gained a few pounds). So off to Old Navy for these BF's that were an Angie pic last summer/fall. These are sized up 2 sizes from what I usually wear/how these looked on their model.</p> <p>I know the super oversized look wont be everyone's cup of tea. But if you are into baggy... let me know, do these work? I am looking for something VERY different than my skinny's, and slouchy skinny's both of which I have plenty of. I think it's a yes, but.... My eye has made several mistakes in the past month cutting tags too early on at least 2 items I later wished I could return. And I have never regretted returning an item, so I am not cutting the tags quite yet. Please excuse my end of day unstyled hair. Thanks for your input. </p> <p>ETA: photos 5, 6 showing waist better. This is my longer white belt, so about 1.5" more dropped to the hip (yes, I have two of the same belt in different lengths so I can always wear the same hole and then they dont show a wear point). Better? (Giving the "at home test run" so please excuse the socks and hair....)</p> </p>
