The frabic was thin, more like a jegging. That possibility about the bleach solidifies my resolve not to re-order them, since that could very well happen again. J Crew also struggles with quality control. I have some nice recent items from them, including jeans (which fit me well, so I keep trying), but other things are just awful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-mom-jeans-and-pink-top/page/2#post-2019722 Mon, 15 Apr 2019 00:41:15 +0000 cjh 2019722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you think it’s because of the overbleached wash? Bleach can quickly destroy fabric, so if actual bleach was used, it could make any point of stress easy to tear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-mom-jeans-and-pink-top/page/2#post-2019675 Sun, 14 Apr 2019 17:06:37 +0000 Christina F. 2019675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet - no kidding!

Unfortunately, I have decided that color is kind of neither here or there for my particular taste and wardrobe. </p> <p>La Ped, ultimately I agree about the color. I prefer paler OR darker/more saturated shades. Probably because I like contrast in my clothing. So the top is going back. I wanted the color in the Find, dammit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-mom-jeans-and-pink-top#post-2019515 Sat, 13 Apr 2019 19:26:04 +0000 LaPed 2019515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Huh, those J Crew jeans look a lot like a stretch version of the Madewell Perfect Summer jeans. I love the even light blue wash. The top I'm not too enamored with. It looks good with the jeans, but will that colour work with the rest of your wardrobe? (Be advised, I do have a bit of a stink eye for most shades of coral.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-mom-jeans-and-pink-top#post-2019513 Sat, 13 Apr 2019 18:52:09 +0000 Joyce B 2019513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans fit you very nicely and the color is lovely. The top is great, too and that deep pink shade can work as a neutral. I am wearing a similar top today and I get a lot of wear out of it because I think it makes my outfits a lot happier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-mom-jeans-and-pink-top#post-2019463 Sat, 13 Apr 2019 13:51:22 +0000 Christina F. 2019463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting to see the love for the jeans! Styling matters, apparently..., shocking, right? :p</p> <p>Gigi, the semi tuck only works in certain situations, doesn’t it? Also, the actual color of the top is a HUGE let down. I wanted fuschia! </p> <p>Jessikams, I think I remember you posting about that. Glad they worked out!</p> <p>Thanks, Joy! As I explained in a comment above, I missed the acid washed era (though I was alive) and came of age during grunge. I like the even wash on these jeans. I remember my mom in jeans that had much less even washes. </p> <p>Stylefan, thank you. The cropped tee is more likely how I would wear them. I don’t have a lot of cropped tees, though... there are a lot out now, but they are very boxy looking and usually I don’t like some element - color, logo/graphic, etc. </p> <p>kkards, they will pooch out too much around the crotch (at least on me) if I sized up. So I won’t bother if I keep them. But maybe you should try!</p> <p>Thanks, Kate, suntiger, Jussie, ChristieJ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-mom-jeans-and-pink-top#post-2019458 Sat, 13 Apr 2019 13:33:04 +0000 kkards 2019458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i like the jeans...and i think they work as shown, especially with the roll and white sneakers!<br />&nbsp;but i wonder what they would look like sized up....but that could be because i currently am on the hunt for a light washed boyfriendy jean....</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-mom-jeans-and-pink-top#post-2019457 Sat, 13 Apr 2019 13:30:22 +0000 ChristelJ 2019457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My instantaneous reaction seeing the photos was yes, keep the jeans!

Lucky you to be able to wear a tee with such a large scooped neck!

I bought a similar pair last year as an experiment, like you, and I have found them so comfy and useful. They fill a wardrobe hole I didn’t even know I had! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-mom-jeans-and-pink-top#post-2019409 Sat, 13 Apr 2019 02:18:35 +0000 Gigi 2019409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you totally rock those jeans! I am short waisted too, and I am showing my figure in all its glory by wearing lots of high-waisted stuff.</p> <p>I prefer the tops untucked or full tucked. I didn't care as much for the semitucked top, I think because it obscures your waist, and showing your waist is the point of the higher-waisted style. (Even the untucked top shows your waist clearly.)</p> <p>I'm glad you decided to return the top. It's not nearly as interesting as the find. I would have felt let down.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-mom-jeans-and-pink-top#post-2019406 Sat, 13 Apr 2019 01:59:01 +0000 Christina F. 2019406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No worries - we all have our poison eyes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-mom-jeans-and-pink-top#post-2019405 Sat, 13 Apr 2019 01:16:24 +0000 cjh 2019405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I must say I like both the gray and striped tops much better and the jeans look great with either. I didn’t mean to come across harshly before, and should have skipped comment as you specifically asked for disinterested response. My apologies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-mom-jeans-and-pink-top#post-2019399 Fri, 12 Apr 2019 22:47:08 +0000 Christina F. 2019399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lucy! This is ultimately my feeling on the top top. The jeans remain under consideration and I’m not surprised they are divisive. I don’t think everyone will love the look and I need to see how I adjust to it. </p> <p>I added some photos above. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-mom-jeans-and-pink-top#post-2019398 Fri, 12 Apr 2019 22:33:59 +0000 Lucy 2019398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the mom jeans ! If they are comfy, I vote keep .<br /> I’m not so keen on the pink - it’s a bit Barbie for me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-mom-jeans-and-pink-top#post-2019396 Fri, 12 Apr 2019 22:27:27 +0000 Christina F. 2019396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Carla. It’s true about the waist holding everything in. As for this mirror, it’s a hopeless cause. I can’t back up too far in that room without getting in my tub. I can try to change camera placement. Thanks! </p> <p>Thanks Alice!</p> <p>Lisa, the wash is why I bought them. I have plenty of dark wash jeans but crave some variety in in my bottoms, for the weekend at least. It’s so even for a light wash! It’s roomy in a couple of places so I don’t think I’d size up. This is purely an experiment so I won’t try other things to make it work if I decide I don’t want them, if you know what I mean. I try to push my comfort zone occasionally, with mixed results. The process helps me evolve even when individual experiments fail, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-mom-jeans-and-pink-top#post-2019395 Fri, 12 Apr 2019 22:14:05 +0000 Anonymous 2019395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I qualify as a disinterested viewer &nbsp;I'll be honest in saying I don't love them here &nbsp; &nbsp;Did you try a size up? &nbsp;Or, how about in a darker wash (yes, I know the ultra light wash is trending ) ? &nbsp;I think a darker colour might be more flattering - and a little more "grown-up". &nbsp;Quite possibly I'm missing the whole point here ...&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-mom-jeans-and-pink-top#post-2019394 Fri, 12 Apr 2019 22:06:07 +0000 Alicewonderland 2019394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like jeans on you. I think it would like a different top with it though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-mom-jeans-and-pink-top#post-2019390 Fri, 12 Apr 2019 21:38:23 +0000 Christina F. 2019390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Becky - definitely not my usual palette. This makes me fra I won’t wear it. I can pair it with things but I may not reach for it.</p> <p>cjh, I can understand the feelings in real mom jeans, which these are not. It’s the wash, as you say. I missed them the first time around - first I was a kid, then in the early-mid 90’s I was a teen into grunge. I wore oversized jeans. As for the scoop, I have that tee in another color, so I’m fine with it. Comfort levels vary, of course! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-mom-jeans-and-pink-top#post-2019389 Fri, 12 Apr 2019 21:34:58 +0000 Carla 2019389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Though some folks don't fancy a high waist, I believe it is more flattering than a low or mid rise. I find a high rise smoothes over jiggly bits and eliminates the 'muffin top'. These jeans are flattering to your figure and more than JFE. (FWIW - your camera angle needs adjusting for a photo that shows better proportions. Experiment with holding your phone/camera lower and closer to your body when you take your pics. If standing farther from the mirror shows more background, you can crop your images.) </p>
