Also note that my actual waist is extremely high so on me, these are sitting fairly low - but could be lower.</p> <p>I feel fabulous in these jeans - much better than in my Gap Sexy BF's. I like the slimmer leg and the tush fit much more. Although I do bat for Team Figure Flattery, in this instance I am willing to forgo the traditional flattery aspect for an edgier more fun look.</p> <p>For more classic pieces (like the BR camel dress trousers) or traditional jeans such as straight leg or bootcuts, figure flattery and perfect fit is of utmost importance to me. But for an item like this which a person wears for different reasons, I'm ok with them not making my butt look amazing - I'm wearing them for fun and for comfort.</p> <p>Does that make any sense? I do appreciate you speaking up though, being honest and looking after me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-slouchy-skinnies-cobalt-jacket/page/2#post-788317 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 17:16:01 +0000 Anonymous 788317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ah, I see you washed them already, we are past return right now. I say, keep and enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-slouchy-skinnies-cobalt-jacket/page/2#post-788314 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 17:11:26 +0000 Anonymous 788314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the cobalt jacket...</p> <p>About the jeans, I am going to be very direct, since I know you bat for team figure flattery. I don't hate them, I actually can see the sartorial, high fashion vein on them, but I do not think this particular pair of slouchy skinnies do your fab bod and tush any favors. You have pants and jeans that fit you 1000% better than this. You will be relinquishing figure flattery for the "look". If that's ok, then all systems go, as Rae would say. </p> <p>I also think you have them too hiked up on the first pictures, I think they would look best if you slouch them down, that's why the pics with the jacket look much better IMO, because the jacket is sitting where the waist should lay. </p> <p>I know Angie okeyed them so that counts a whole lot more than my opinion, but I believe this is a type of look that you really need to own, in order to look believable. Items not only need to look good but feel good. Do you feel good in them?</p> <p>I thought I would bring this up, since you usually second guess this type of item. I think you have a strong preference for figure flattery but I could be wrong. Take my opinion with a super huge grain of salt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-slouchy-skinnies-cobalt-jacket/page/2#post-788285 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 16:26:14 +0000 Transcona Shannon 788285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire - I can definitely sag them a bit more by loosening the belt by one notch. Any more than that and they will fall off though!</p> <p>BTW - I washed them last night (the pre-hemming wash) and they washed beautifully. I accidentally put them in the dryer, which I don't normally do with jeans, but they didn't shrink at all thank goodness. Just nicely softened up and now off to Wonder Woman they go.Will be hemming them for a 2" heel which encompasses most of my booties which will be my go-to footwear for these. I think that will also work with my Doc Marcies.</p> <p>I'm actually thinking of ordering another pair of these jeans in my regular size as just a "normal" pair of denim. I really like the fit of these and the rise. What do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-slouchy-skinnies-cobalt-jacket/page/2#post-788276 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 16:15:49 +0000 rae 788276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer jacket from your killer hubs!</p> <p>I know whiskering is not popular, but I kinda love it here. It creates the illusion of a slouchier fit even though they are slimmer cut as you've said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-slouchy-skinnies-cobalt-jacket#post-788275 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 16:11:02 +0000 Anonymous 788275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually love whiskering (I'm trying to figure out how to DIY some on my own jeans). I've wanted to try these jeans too. You'll have to let us know how they wash and wear. The rise looks pretty high to me, could you sag them any more or are they about to fall off your hips? Love your Christmas jacket as well. And you know you need to clone your husband, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-slouchy-skinnies-cobalt-jacket#post-788273 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 16:05:37 +0000 Amy 788273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG. I love both. You look amazing in these! That jacket is a fantastic gift. Your hubby definitely earned some points here </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-slouchy-skinnies-cobalt-jacket#post-788233 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 15:08:49 +0000 celia 788233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shanon whatever you do to the jacket and jeans please do keep the husband.Is he thinking of a career of teaching less gifted significant others? There might be a market there.</p> <p>I LOVE the jacket and I like the jeans. I don't mind the whispering whiskers </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-slouchy-skinnies-cobalt-jacket#post-788218 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 14:52:10 +0000 Angie 788218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also have to add, that the light in the photo is highlighting the whiskering. It's not so prominent irl. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-slouchy-skinnies-cobalt-jacket#post-788189 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 14:01:32 +0000 Janet 788189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Manidipa, you're absolutely right! With the jacket, the whiskering doesn't bother me at all. </p> <p>Shannon, I'm glad the divided opinion on the whiskering hasn't discouraged you -- you love them, they look fab, and they get an Angie killer rating -- wear and enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-slouchy-skinnies-cobalt-jacket#post-788111 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 08:57:05 +0000 lyn67 788111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I lave the last 2 looks here, Shannon! I am not a fan of tucking in jeans for myself, but you do it so well. Have to take notes:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-slouchy-skinnies-cobalt-jacket#post-788107 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 07:55:49 +0000 ManidipaM 788107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That jacket! Adore! MUST keep, as Una said.</p> <p>The jeans---now I know by now you'll take this with a pinch of salt anyway after Angie's KILLER verdict...but I find the whiskering bothers me more when I can see the waistline---the dark expanse from waist to whiskers seemed 'abrupt' to me too, as Janet said. But then I realized they *don't* bother me once the jacket's on! So perhaps it is the expanse of the darker bit in proportion that was niggling... And I had the same feeling with the pocket detail (pale bands too low from waist), though I don't bother too much with the rear view myself and I know you don't either, so that wouldn't be a deal-breaker I guess.</p> <p>That said, this is one of those things that does tend to jump out more in photos than in real life, in my experience --- I've had similar responses to whiskered jeans on the forum before, and I suspect getting the light just-so makes a huge difference... and is a huge, unnecessary palaver for most of us, most of the time. And as you rightly point out, it will even out with washing. So on balance---go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-slouchy-skinnies-cobalt-jacket#post-788059 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 04:44:24 +0000 unfrumped 788059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket is superb.<br /> What I notice about the jeans is a kind of effortless look. On you. Better than some of the woven khakis and black trousers you've tried ( of course , BF jeans won't get you to work). So that kind of fit is a keeper. I'm not a whiskering expert, but I think it can be less of an issue IRL/ in motion and with a relaxed fit vs. Body- con. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-slouchy-skinnies-cobalt-jacket#post-788058 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 04:42:59 +0000 catgirl 788058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, there you go.

I won't comment on te eans because to be honest I can't tell the difference between sloih and improper fit </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-slouchy-skinnies-cobalt-jacket#post-788048 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 04:25:11 +0000 Day Vies 788048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where do you get your jackets? Did you have to get it in my favorite color? (jacket envy)</p> <p>I like how you styled the jeans more than I like the jeans themselves. I am not in love with the whiskering. The caveat is my style leans toward classic and I am not the most fashion forward chick on the block. So I say take my comments on the jeans in that context </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-slouchy-skinnies-cobalt-jacket#post-788014 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 03:10:43 +0000 Suz 788014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's that darn auto-correct! "Whispering" for "whiskering." I had to tell my machine half a dozen times that it wasn't whispering I was talking about! </p> <p>Yay, Shannon!! It is good to know you are going to keep both and enjoy both. </p> <p>I have to admit I am still tempted to order them for myself, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-slouchy-skinnies-cobalt-jacket#post-788004 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 02:59:15 +0000 Transcona Shannon 788004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL - missvee!</p> <p>Jamie - glad to hear you enjoy wearing yours so much!</p> <p>Angie - </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-slouchy-skinnies-cobalt-jacket#post-788000 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 02:57:13 +0000 Angie 788000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chuckling @ Misvee. Whispering jeans could be fun, no? </p> <p>Oh yes! Jamie has these too. We are triplets </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-slouchy-skinnies-cobalt-jacket#post-787998 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 02:55:34 +0000 missvee 787998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I meant whiskering. If they're talking to you I'd definitely return them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-slouchy-skinnies-cobalt-jacket#post-787991 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 02:52:33 +0000 Jamie 787991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Had to jump in on this one. I love the jeans on you, and I love the whiskering. It doesn't bother me one bit. I also have these jeans and have worn them a lot so far. I wasn't able to make my BF jeans work rolled down because they were just too short still, but these work for me. And just another opinion among many, but I think they look great on you!</p> <p>Oh, and of course, the jacket is fab too!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-slouchy-skinnies-cobalt-jacket#post-787980 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 02:43:05 +0000 missvee 787980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the jacket - colour and fit are both super. I think you have better jeans than these ones. Sorry :(. I'm not fond of the whispering either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-slouchy-skinnies-cobalt-jacket#post-787971 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 02:36:16 +0000 Angie 787971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with, Shevia. I guess we're the spanners today :)</p> <p>I love these jeans on you, Shannon! In fact, I think they look KILLER. I like the whiskering - after all, I own them too. I find them more flattering than the BFs, and I like your BFs on you! </p> <p>KILLER jacket too. Hugs to hubs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-slouchy-skinnies-cobalt-jacket#post-787970 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 02:34:47 +0000 Transcona Shannon 787970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad you all like the jacket - it's going to kill me to wait having the sleeves shortened before I can wear it!</p> <p>Suz - the crotch point is probably about 2 inches below its anatomical point.</p> <p>I hear you all on the whiskering but here's the thing - I LOVE these skinnies! Yep, you heard me. Personally, the whiskering doesn't bother me in the least even though it is quite pronounced because to me, the fit trumps that design detail. I also think that as the jeans fade, the whiskering will become less obvious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-slouchy-skinnies-cobalt-jacket#post-787959 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 02:17:56 +0000 CocoLion 787959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the shape of the jeans but agree the whiskering is quite pronounced. It draws the eyes directly to that spot at the expense of looking elsewhere.</p> <p>The cobalt jacket is super awesome.</p> <p>If you can find some jeans like that with more subtle thigh fading or a raw wash, I'd go for those. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-slouchy-skinnies-cobalt-jacket#post-787951 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 02:06:03 +0000 Janet 787951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I've taken another look, and I think it's what the others have pointed out -- I don't mind subtle whiskering, but the whiskering here is more defined and starts kind of abruptly, if that makes any sense. The fit looks nice though. Whiskering is maybe more a matter of personal preference, so if it doesn't bother you, then wear and enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-slouchy-skinnies-cobalt-jacket#post-787939 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 01:45:07 +0000 D'Ellen 787939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket is super...what a beautiful color for you! The jeans look like a good fit, but I'm distracted by the whiskering. I'm also a bit put off by the stitching on the pockets, but that's one of my quirks. I like them best with the black boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-slouchy-skinnies-cobalt-jacket#post-787937 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 01:44:33 +0000 Jaime 787937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually really like the jeans on you. I am not usually a fan of whiskering, but I think the fit of these is really good on you, and the whiskering doesn't bother me. Of course I am counting on you to put your styling magic to use with them! And the jacket is beyond fabulous of course, as is DH (to say nothing of his wife)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-slouchy-skinnies-cobalt-jacket#post-787931 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 01:38:36 +0000 Suz 787931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Christimas, beautiful lady!! LOVE that jacket on you. And I shall be eternally jealous of your ability to wear a collarless style so well. That is SO fab. Can't wait to see you style it and I will enjoy seeing it unzipped, too. </p> <p>The jeans, the jeans. I like the more tapered leg. I like how you look in them, comfortable and happy. (I even like your so-called bad T with them, call me crazy, but it works with those Saras...) </p> <p>I am not sure about the whiskering. It's pretty pronounced in these photos. But perhaps IRL it doesn't come across quite that way. I know that it might be exaggerated due to the flash. </p> <p>Is the crotch point dropped on these babies, or not? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-slouchy-skinnies-cobalt-jacket#post-787926 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 01:34:04 +0000 Atlantia 787926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am also not fond of the whiskering on the jeans. I feel like it makes them look a bit teenybopper-esque. If it doesn't bother you, then the fit seems spot on. I like this shape on you.<br /> And the jacket! What a wonderful DH you have, to get you such a lovely present. That color is gorgeous. </p>
