I think a sleek simple top tucked in (kinda like a 90's body suit?) would be great and statement shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knot-keep-the-r13-crossover-jeans-and-an-amazing-gift-from-shevia/page/2#post-876540 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 06:32:30 +0000 Marley 876540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE these - WANT these. You found these on eBay??? I die - I've been lusting after Denise's and Anna's, but didn't even think to look for them on eBay. I vote keep. You can make these work with a cropped top and edgy boots/shoes. Do *not* belt them - that totally ruins the look.<br /> (Ok - I'm headed over to eBay to see if I can find a pair!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knot-keep-the-r13-crossover-jeans-and-an-amazing-gift-from-shevia/page/2#post-876515 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 04:59:14 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 876515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have only read about 1/2 the replies but I have to say, while I find them very strange I like them. How is the fit? Do you *need* a belt with them? I'd think the belt would take away from the jeans and cover up some of the interest of them.</p> <p>I'd love to see them with a sleek, solid black top. Though I'm a little hesitant, I'm leaning toward Total Digsville. I think I just need to get used to them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knot-keep-the-r13-crossover-jeans-and-an-amazing-gift-from-shevia/page/2#post-876498 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 04:37:52 +0000 Tina.b 876498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are really cool and I like the effect of the crossover. But I wonder if they aren't a little big on you. I haven't seen you in too much blue denim (though may not be remembering accurately) but I like this colour for you as we'll. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knot-keep-the-r13-crossover-jeans-and-an-amazing-gift-from-shevia/page/2#post-876471 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 03:46:10 +0000 Jonesy 876471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny, I think they look better on Una than they do on the Totokaelo model--they look too small on her from the back (hiking up into her butt crack, if I may be blunt). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knot-keep-the-r13-crossover-jeans-and-an-amazing-gift-from-shevia/page/2#post-876458 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 03:36:01 +0000 rae 876458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel like the crossover isn't as dramatic as it is in the black that Anna and Denise have... I think it might be the contrast stitching on the fly that messes with the eye. In black, you get one strong, diagonal line, which looks more clean and intentional. In honesty, I don't think these are worthy of you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knot-keep-the-r13-crossover-jeans-and-an-amazing-gift-from-shevia/page/2#post-876453 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 03:32:49 +0000 ironkurtin 876453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, R13 makes really good no crossover jeans. I love mine. Honestly I would return these and hold out for another pair less complex in front.</p> <p>I have a seriously poison eye for this jeans style, I just can't see the fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knot-keep-the-r13-crossover-jeans-and-an-amazing-gift-from-shevia/page/2#post-876421 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 02:56:43 +0000 annagybe 876421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For reference, here they are on a model</p> <p><a href="https://totokaelo.com/store/products/r13/fw12/new-crossover-jeans/blue" rel="nofollow">https://totokaelo.com/store/pr.....jeans/blue</a></p> <p>I have the black waxed pair same as Denise. Sorry, Una, I'm no sold on these on you.</p> <p>ETA here are mine</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-112-slouchy-baggy" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....uchy-baggy</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knot-keep-the-r13-crossover-jeans-and-an-amazing-gift-from-shevia#post-876420 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 02:55:41 +0000 Sarah A 876420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wondered if my head was crooked when I saw the first pics... I am tired!</p> <p>With styling I think these could be really interesting ... Ill look forward to seeing more of them.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knot-keep-the-r13-crossover-jeans-and-an-amazing-gift-from-shevia#post-876414 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 02:51:39 +0000 Kristin SF 876414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mia, your pic is exactly what I've been trying to figure out. I think the reason why it looks different is that the leg is skinnier, and it provides a nice contrast with the crossover waist part. I think Una's pair might be too big, actually, although I know we're targeting slouch factor. </p> <p>For this style of jean, I think a slimmer leg might be more visually balanced? I believe Denise's fit is slimmer in the legs, for example. Maybe Anna's pair fits slimmer in the legs, as well, but I can't recall the details. Even Angie's jodphur jeans might fit slimmer in the legs...?</p> <p>Anyway, I'm still educating my eye with this type of silhouette, so please take my opinion with a grain of salt. I love the adventurous spirit and the fun you're having with your clothes, Una! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knot-keep-the-r13-crossover-jeans-and-an-amazing-gift-from-shevia#post-876367 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 02:25:42 +0000 Mia 876367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una</p> <p>These are great. Here is a pic as styled in one of our local boutiques. The jean looks the same but the fit seems different so I don't know if it's just the pics in the different lighting or what? </p> <p><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BNQ4GAzXlH8/UEFb1pdl4LI/AAAAAAAAGIw/T_Itex7-FhA/s1600/ROSEANNA+combo+top+and+R13+crossover+jeans+w+the+ISabel+Marant+BUFFALO+pumps.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BNQ4.....+pumps.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knot-keep-the-r13-crossover-jeans-and-an-amazing-gift-from-shevia#post-876357 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 02:21:51 +0000 Isis 876357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like skewed quirky aspect of these, and have total faith that you will style them in a very cool way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knot-keep-the-r13-crossover-jeans-and-an-amazing-gift-from-shevia#post-876353 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 02:19:26 +0000 deb 876353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, there is no way you could be considered a frump wearing these pants. They are so cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knot-keep-the-r13-crossover-jeans-and-an-amazing-gift-from-shevia#post-876341 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 02:13:34 +0000 Jaime 876341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big smile! I was worried they wouldn't get there at all but they made it in great time! I have to say they look so amazing on you and so not amazing on me that I am super glad I sent them.<br /> Ok, the jeans. I have love these jeans also ever since I saw them on Denise so I totally understand why you stalked them. But I need to see them with better shoes. I do love the crossover look but I think the shoes are key here. And more coffee. I will come back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knot-keep-the-r13-crossover-jeans-and-an-amazing-gift-from-shevia#post-876311 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 01:50:57 +0000 Sona 876311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry Una. Not a fan of these.Also I think it fits a limited wardrobe capsule need for your lifestyle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knot-keep-the-r13-crossover-jeans-and-an-amazing-gift-from-shevia#post-876304 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 01:46:48 +0000 cciele 876304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this on you! I think I may prefer them a bit lower on the hips though. Lots of wonderful slouchy possibilities here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knot-keep-the-r13-crossover-jeans-and-an-amazing-gift-from-shevia#post-876303 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 01:46:02 +0000 catgirl 876303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie. Unfortunately I don't have time to fool around now as I am finishing up a giant batch of meatballs to take to my very ill friend and his family... will be gone the next two days. However, I will be back - I like these enough to persist in seeing if I can make them work, and if not, I can live with that too.</p> <p>Great advice, and yes, TOTALLY understand this look is poison eye to some. Denise sure makes it look good though. Black may make a difference, but I don't think I could handle the stiffer crotch area, whcih would probably be even more difficult on hipless me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knot-keep-the-r13-crossover-jeans-and-an-amazing-gift-from-shevia#post-876292 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 01:36:35 +0000 Angie 876292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the extra pics, Una. I like them better SANS the belt, but appreciate the visual. I think it's key to HIGHLIGHT the waistband-fly-button action. A belt covers this up and all of a sudden the style does not look intentional. </p> <p>Next - no ombre top. Messes with the waist band. Solid or patterned top that is even all over I suspect will work better. </p> <p>Also like them best without a topper. That said, I like the cropped jacket, and would like to see a longer jacket too. </p> <p>Jonesy's point about footwear is a good one. I actually would like to see a simple sleek bootie or oxford here. </p> <p>I am very much on my way to loving these jeans!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knot-keep-the-r13-crossover-jeans-and-an-amazing-gift-from-shevia#post-876291 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 01:36:11 +0000 Echo 876291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm trying really, really hard to like these... but I am failing so far. However, in the pants' defense, I think I am not used to this look and do not know how to evaluate it - newbie eyes. I love slouch, but have issues with crossover or askew or slanted zippers/waist areas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knot-keep-the-r13-crossover-jeans-and-an-amazing-gift-from-shevia#post-876283 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 01:28:30 +0000 Jonesy 876283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I dig 'em but I think footwear is key! Yes, I have developed a poison eye toward your house shoes :)....I like the longer rise/dropped crotch look, like the crossover fly, and really like the fading/distressing on these.</p> <p>ETA: you don't need 8" platforms like Brandy is sporting :), but something modern and edgy will be the ticket.</p> <p>ETA x 2: It goes without saying that Shevia is a killer-fabulous YLFer!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knot-keep-the-r13-crossover-jeans-and-an-amazing-gift-from-shevia#post-876265 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 01:09:31 +0000 Thistle 876265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia is the best!</p> <p>I don't really understand this type of jean, so I really shouldn't have an opinion. If I saw you on the street, I would think you had sewed those yourself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knot-keep-the-r13-crossover-jeans-and-an-amazing-gift-from-shevia#post-876257 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 01:03:54 +0000 Anonymous 876257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How incredibly kind of Shevia. I always thought your Tom Ford's were the real deal, but I'm glad they weren't now that you lost them. I am uneducated on the crossover jeans. They look pretty cool to me though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knot-keep-the-r13-crossover-jeans-and-an-amazing-gift-from-shevia#post-876242 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 00:48:01 +0000 catgirl 876242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No guilt or apologies needed - I asked for honesty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knot-keep-the-r13-crossover-jeans-and-an-amazing-gift-from-shevia#post-876240 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 00:47:15 +0000 Nicole D 876240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia is a sweetheart! The jeans are definitely cool, they are an optical illusion really, and I think will get noticed. If you are going for a funky statement piece I think you have found it. I don't really find them traditionally flattering, but that's OK if you are going more for the effect of the unusual waistband detail. I think I missed the post with the black ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knot-keep-the-r13-crossover-jeans-and-an-amazing-gift-from-shevia#post-876239 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 00:46:31 +0000 Anonymous 876239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all, Shevia rocks, OMG, she is a superstar.<br /> I'm sorry to be such a debbie downer but I am not sure about all of the crotch action going on there. I like them better without the belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knot-keep-the-r13-crossover-jeans-and-an-amazing-gift-from-shevia#post-876234 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 00:41:47 +0000 Diana 876234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sweet of Shevia!</p> <p>I like the idea of the jeans but I can't help thinking that the rise might be too high or the waist is too tapered. Can you pull them down at all? I feel like the rise looks lower on Denise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knot-keep-the-r13-crossover-jeans-and-an-amazing-gift-from-shevia#post-876218 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 00:28:45 +0000 Janet 876218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to love them, but something is giving me pause. I really think I prefer them in the black. I'm sorry I can't be more enthusiastic. *ducks* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knot-keep-the-r13-crossover-jeans-and-an-amazing-gift-from-shevia#post-876181 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 00:05:27 +0000 kellygirl 876181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them best in the first two pics. The waistband is kind of askew but that's the style, right? I *almost* think you need more mass to fill out the hip area--I mean, I know they are suppose to be slouchy but they look a little too roomy to my untrained eye. I want to love them on you though. Just my 2cents.from.suburbia.</p> <p>ETA: The baggy pants in my post are from ON a couple of summers ago. Thanks for the nice comments </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knot-keep-the-r13-crossover-jeans-and-an-amazing-gift-from-shevia#post-876172 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 23:55:58 +0000 Day Vies 876172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how deconstructed these are -- the fly is such a cool detail. I remember seeing the style before but I can't place it (80's ?) Anyway I agree shorter jackets and fitted tops are going to be the best fit for showcasing these jeans. Great score! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knot-keep-the-r13-crossover-jeans-and-an-amazing-gift-from-shevia#post-876168 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 23:53:53 +0000 Transcona Shannon 876168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do think they look better with the belt Una. </p>
