Do you happen to have the pair collected in Finds? I'd love to see them.&nbsp;There is only one pair of grey jeans on the Canadian website--and of course, I don't like them. </p> <p>BUT. There is a cardigan I want on the American site--so adding a pair of jeans to an order may be just the thing. I'm not sure of the return procedures to the States, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-grey-really/page/2#post-1348972 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 03:58:25 +0000 Tierra 1348972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They have some nice looking grey jeans at Old Navy. &nbsp;I am&nbsp;in love with their high rise Rockstars...even though I have to size up quite a bit in them. &nbsp;So comfy!<br />I have a mid grey pair on order right now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-grey-really/page/2#post-1348813 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 23:47:55 +0000 Alana in Canada 1348813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle--turns out we do have a Talbots, downtown.

I mean sleek and classic. There are so many ways to brighten an outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-grey-really/page/2#post-1348761 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 22:04:07 +0000 barbaraq 1348761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love NYDJ jeans but their sizing is all over the place. &nbsp;I have them in&nbsp;&nbsp;everything from a 16 to a 10. &nbsp;Also, a "skinny" style can be relatively straight legged or like leggings. &nbsp;I do have a lovely dark grey pair I bought last winter and wear all the time, so something is sure to turn up as the season progresses.</p> <p>I agree with everyone above to advised you to return the ones you pictured. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-grey-really#post-1348696 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 19:54:45 +0000 Thistle 1348696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure if there is a Talbots by you, but they are running 25% off through the end of the weekend.

Also often stores tilt their mirrors ever so slightly, a trick&nbsp;which makes you look thinner and trimmer. So hold your head up high when you return something you already took home. If you don't like what you see in your home mirror, then the problem may be not you and your discerning eye/indecision... the problem may be store mirrors meant to trick you into buying!</p> <p>And for this reason I do not like my local B&amp;M Nordstrom's!! The mirrors are absolutely tilted - dramatically tilted. And the dressing rooms are horribly DARK. They are the worst offenders of all my B&amp;M options.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-grey-really#post-1348577 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 15:10:56 +0000 Angie 1348577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely send them back.

In my quest for "better" I am returning more "not quite good enough", ugh. If they ask why you are returning say "I really wanted to love them but the color of grey just doesn't work with my wardrobe". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-grey-really#post-1348472 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 11:05:53 +0000 unfrumped 1348472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What lisap said.<br /> But, I think it was useful.

I spent far more than the pants at a sale tonight (though, sadly, they didn't have any grey jeans left) so I HAVE to return them!&nbsp;</p> <p>I will bring you all with me for support. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-grey-really#post-1348380 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 02:26:22 +0000 Staysfit 1348380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I understand your reluctance to return items in person. &nbsp;I get anxious about that also. &nbsp;Just do it though and don't over-think it! &nbsp;These are looking tan on my screen also, they have warm undertones, not cool which is what looks best on you and from what I've learned over the &nbsp;past month, fits your wardrobe. &nbsp;They are clearly just not what you want. &nbsp;You have an entire internet support network cheering you on! &nbsp;Remember us when you walk in to return them. &nbsp;Think how happy your wallet will be since these were expensive. Go on and look for a better &nbsp;pair, the ones that will be 10's! &nbsp;I know you can find them. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-grey-really#post-1348376 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 02:22:22 +0000 Suz 1348376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In the immortal words of Angie: <b>NEXT!!!&nbsp;</b></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-grey-really#post-1348373 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 02:20:51 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1348373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree they look taupe. I also agree the length isn't ideal--a little longer would be best. And you aren't feeling fab in them. <br />To return, just show how disappointed you are that they didn't work. ("I soooo wanted these to work; I love my white NYDJs! These just didn't fit the same way, and the color isn't working with my wardrobe.") Then the sales person will feel empathy for you. And it's so true, you are not returning them damaged, so no reason to be ashamed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-grey-really#post-1348372 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 02:13:29 +0000 Style Fan 1348372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I struggle to return items.&nbsp; I agonize over this.&nbsp; But I have gotten better.&nbsp; I did return some make up a few days ago to The Bay (unopened) after realizing the colour was wrong.&nbsp; A couple of years ago I would have just kept it.&nbsp; </p> <p>The jeans look tan not grey.&nbsp; The fit is fine.&nbsp; But they were expensive and should be a 10.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-grey-really#post-1348362 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 01:57:03 +0000 Anonymous 1348362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look really beige on my screen too. I think if they were a bluer grey they'd be closer to a 10, especially with the tops you've paired them with. And yes, with pants I often find different colors fit differently. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-grey-really#post-1348349 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 01:45:15 +0000 Aquamarine 1348349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fit looks OK to me but the color does not read grey at all. I wouldn't be worried at all to return them. They are not what you expected and it's your money! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-grey-really#post-1348344 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 01:40:27 +0000 Joyce B 1348344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look nice but you need to be happy with the fit in order to justify the investment.<br /> Don't feel bad if you need to return them. After all, nobody at the store will offer to come over to pay for your credit card bill. It's your hard earned money and you have the right to spend it in what works best for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-grey-really#post-1348298 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 00:56:18 +0000 Marley 1348298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look taupe to me! &nbsp;I think they fit you just fine - but I agree with Alaskagirl - I think they are too short. &nbsp;I really like the idea of a gray jean for you - and would definitely keep looking for one! &nbsp;FWIW - I really like the flannel shirt in pic 2 - it would look great with a pair of true gray jeans!<br />AND - your glasses are looking beautiful on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-grey-really#post-1348295 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 00:54:03 +0000 Gigi 1348295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They may indeed be smaller than the white version. I've had that happen numerous times, where an item that fits great in one color is a little smaller or bigger in a different color, with there being enough of a fit issue to warrant returning the item.</p> <p>I say to take them back. You clearly are not excited about them, and there's no point in keeping them if they aren't going to make you happy. It's a time-consuming process getting a wardrobe together from scratch, but trust me, mistakes are so easily made at this point because people settle when they don't need to. What happens is that we settle because we're afraid we won't find something better, but something better almost always comes along—only then we can't buy it because we have our money wrapped up in the first item.</p> <p>I wouldn't worry too much about the return. I once bought a pair of shorts at BR and then returned them for a different size...and then came back in asking for the first size back! So we all have things like that happen sometimes. Yes, the store was nice to put them on hold for you, but that doesn't mean you are obligated to keep them. You can tell them that they don't match the rest of your wardrobe if you feel awkward. Just say that the color was a little too warm for your other clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-grey-really#post-1348287 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 00:43:30 +0000 Jules 1348287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are looking a bit beige, and beige pants can have frumpy connotations. They look fine here but will move your style forward? I think you can do better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-grey-really#post-1348278 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 00:33:32 +0000 catgirl 1348278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't tell the color, but they look a little short and don't seem like the right shade for you.&nbsp; Don't be embarrassed - I am a serial returner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-grey-really#post-1348266 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 00:19:26 +0000 Windchime 1348266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sure sounds like you're not loving these. And they look more taupe than grey. It's amazing how much variance there can be within the same style and size. </p> <p>I loved reading your account of your indecision about buying these in the first place! It shows how selective and thoughtful you have become about your purchases. I also loved Thimbelina's advice to you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-grey-really#post-1348264 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 00:13:27 +0000 Alana in Canada 1348264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks thimblelina--yes, I suppose I am really not the worst offender. They are in a little boutique in the Bay--and I just lust after the clothes in there--but almost every single item is way out of my price range. Oh well. I will hold my head high. Thanks for that.</p> <p>Lisap--Thank you, steely grey is more my speed, for sure. In fact, I just may be able to try on a pair like that tonight at Pennington's. They are having&nbsp;a "Customer appreciation sale." My problem--it starts at 8pm and I was up at 4am--I am more than ready for a night in and early bed.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-grey-really#post-1348254 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 00:03:17 +0000 Anonymous 1348254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not very grey on my monitor either. &nbsp;If they are indeed more grey than they look, I think it's the warmer tone here that's not working. (you prefer clearer, cooler tones, correct? )&nbsp;&nbsp;I would try a much darker, steely version . &nbsp;Adds a touch of sophistication to the outfit that the lighter one won't - in my opinion anyways &nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-grey-really#post-1348253 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 00:03:12 +0000 thimblelina 1348253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If they don't make YOU feel great, they go. Period. Shopgirl side-eye be damned. Hold your head up high when you march back in because you care enough to please yourself. (Besides, they're too busy gossiping about the real pieces of work who return stuff damaged, deodorant stained &amp; reeking of cigarettes with the tags clumsily reattached. I should know; I've been a shopgirl.) </p>
