I am still sitting on my hands.<br /><br />Christie, I'm excited for your BF jeans :)<br /><br />Naughty pockets are pockets that look cheeky - that's all. Nothing sexual. The TRs have huge back pockets with pocket flaps, which makes them look cheeky to my eye. <br /><br />Elisabeth, I would share my secret with you if I had one. I wore my white AG stilts yesterday while shopping with a client - outside in a dirty down town city. They look fine, and I can wear them again. Our little Rosie is also carried a billion times a day and has dirty little paws at times. No problem. I guess I am instictively careful because I wear white coats, bags, jackets, shoes, belts, pants, tops and pants sans the fuss. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bf-jeans-ephiphany/page/2#post-927505 Wed, 08 May 2013 14:02:28 +0000 Anonymous 927505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just cut my largest pair of Sexy BF to make shorts!

I have a different Gap model from yours though so this may be why? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bf-jeans-ephiphany/page/2#post-926606 Tue, 07 May 2013 02:01:25 +0000 Sarah A 926606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have been desperately trying to avoid this thread b/c I would love some white BF jeans but am working very hard to be on track with my budget.

I've had good luck with KUT before, and I am definitely going to make a trip to Nordie's to try them out. THREE times I went to Gap to try on their BF jeans and each time I couldn't commit. Like you, I thought they just weren't long enough when when worn full length and too cropped when rolled. Can't wait to try the Catherine's! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bf-jeans-ephiphany/page/2#post-926497 Tue, 07 May 2013 00:03:40 +0000 rachylou 926497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hmm. I am not qualified to comment because I'm sitting the BF jean out. Have to say, tho, the Gap BF seems so grungy hipster. As BFs go, I don't know, may be we're talking the cute, arty one that you just couldn't picture a future with...?<br /><br />... jus' sayin'...<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bf-jeans-ephiphany/page/2#post-926437 Mon, 06 May 2013 23:02:38 +0000 pastrygirl 926437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I want to try those Catherines so badly! I had decided against it because my size is fluctuating wildly right now (in the "right" direction), but Angie, your comment about sizing up gives me hope that if they end up too big in a week or two&nbsp;they might still look OK? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bf-jeans-ephiphany/page/2#post-926425 Mon, 06 May 2013 22:41:29 +0000 Anonymous 926425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I need a white pair too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bf-jeans-ephiphany/page/2#post-926424 Mon, 06 May 2013 22:39:25 +0000 catgirl 926424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well, I'm still madly in love with my Gap SBFs. :)&nbsp;<br /><br />And maybe white BF jeans will take me safely into white territory? &nbsp;Just can't seem to get on the white bandwagon! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bf-jeans-ephiphany/page/2#post-926223 Mon, 06 May 2013 18:36:35 +0000 Christie 926223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love all of my Kut jeans. I recently found a Kut skirt at TJMaxx and it fits like a dream too. &nbsp;So I want to get some of these white jeans too. &nbsp;Are there two versions of Catherine? &nbsp;I'm kind of confused! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bf-jeans-ephiphany/page/2#post-926065 Mon, 06 May 2013 16:11:01 +0000 unfrumped 926065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Talk about enabling..<br />I put some in shopping cart. Not a white pants person but am at a loss this year for stone or khaki or similar full-length washable pants for casual wear.&nbsp;So I thought I might try this miraculous fit.<br />&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bf-jeans-ephiphany/page/2#post-926052 Mon, 06 May 2013 15:54:35 +0000 Angie 926052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hah! Rae. Getaway drug. Brilliant. xo<br /><br />VC, I'm excited about your new KUTS! <br /><br />Raisin, no photos anywhere. Perhaps you need to start wearing a belt :). Or purchase the size 0. <br /><br />Elizabeth, the slim BF KUT Catherines are a smaller cut than the Gap SBFs. My Gaps are also a size 2 and fit larger than the KUTS. So if you keep the size the same, they will a little smaller. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bf-jeans-ephiphany/page/2#post-926040 Mon, 06 May 2013 15:31:40 +0000 rae 926040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Poor Gap SBFs. Seems like they were a total gateway drug for many of us, and now we are onto harder stuff! I am with you and LOVE both colored TRs, while my Gaps were sold and my Old Navy pair come out when the day's activities are too gritty for my Good Jeans. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bf-jeans-ephiphany/page/2#post-926037 Mon, 06 May 2013 15:24:33 +0000 Carole 926037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been on the lookout for white skinnies without any luck so maybe I should switch gears and be looking for white BF's. You have me sold! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bf-jeans-ephiphany/page/2#post-925914 Mon, 06 May 2013 11:38:48 +0000 Elizabeth P 925914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm also really enjoying wearing BFs, they've made jeans comfy weekend wear again, and would LOVE a white pair.&nbsp; Angie... another sizing question.&nbsp; What size do you wear in your Gap BF's?&nbsp; I'm not sure if you're sizing up in the Kut's , or sizing up compared to other things.&nbsp; I do really like the way my Gap BF's fit, and wouldn't want any slouchier.&nbsp; My Gap BFs are 29/8, so do you think the 8 Kut's would fit similarly?&nbsp; Or go 10?&nbsp; <br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bf-jeans-ephiphany/page/2#post-925894 Mon, 06 May 2013 10:05:11 +0000 Raisin 925894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks for the reply Angie. &nbsp;Are you wearing them in any of the pics on the site? &nbsp;I would like them roomy, but I almost never wear a belt, so I wouldn't want them falling down. &nbsp;I <i>suppose</i> I could get the waist taken in... https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bf-jeans-ephiphany/page/2#post-925817 Mon, 06 May 2013 02:09:58 +0000 velvetychocolate 925817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That does it, I will order a size up in the white Kut Catherine BF jeans just as Angie has done - so that means a 12 for me. Not going to worry about the number a la Sona. <br /><br />Like I said, the size 10 pale blue ones from last year are great, but I am going to be brave and go for 'even slouchier' - if Angie can do it, then I can at least try. I feel pretty confident because these Kut BF jeans look great, no matter what their size. And just as an aside, I *think* these will work on just about any body shape. <br /><br />Wondering what these will look like with the ladybug shirt in Angie's "finds" section? Or a blue denim shirt, and dressier shoes/belt? Just realized that I read somewhere that Sveta has the ladybug shirt. And she has the white BF's too. <br /><br />Are you going to get them too Raisin? <br /><br />Off to place my order <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bf-jeans-ephiphany/page/2#post-925801 Mon, 06 May 2013 01:38:19 +0000 Angie 925801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You guys are great and had me smiling throughout this thread. The banter between Raisin, Sveta and VC was funny :). Shevia, you crack me up. Thanks! <br /><br />Dana and Krish, I do LIKE my Gap BFs rolled and unrolled! I feel fab in them! And I will happily sport the looks similar to the ones I posted. It's just that I LOVE (it's not like, it's <b>love</b>) my white BFs and TRs, and prefer them over the blue Gaps for the reasons stated. I hope that makes sense!<br /><br />Caro, to your point, I am not cutting up my Gaps just yet. <br /><br />Raisin, I wear my white KUTs&nbsp; baggier than on the model because I prefer that look. I usually wear a 0 in KUT (my skinny KUT Dianas are a 0), but I sized up to a size 2 in the Catherines and they couldn't be<b><i> more perfec</i></b><i><b>t.</b></i> They fall off without a belt, so I always wear a belt with them, and very low on the hip too. I love the long torso silhouette! But I like belts and tucking my tops, so that's all good. If you want them to fit like the model - get a size 0. If you want them to fit baggier like I do, get a size 2. <br /><br />Shannon and Sveta!!! High five my white jeans sisters! <br /><br />No photos of my TR or white Catherines on YLF yet. Soon! <br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bf-jeans-ephiphany/page/2#post-925799 Mon, 06 May 2013 01:36:53 +0000 Jaime 925799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My white jeans are older version, thrifted gap bf's and I love the idea of bf white jeans - avoids the too tight problem with white jeans. I have my eyes on the Kut white ones too.&nbsp;<br /><br />Angie I think you need new bf's without flap pockets to take the place of the Gap pair you clearly do not love anymore! Then chop, chop to the scissors! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bf-jeans-ephiphany/page/2#post-925795 Mon, 06 May 2013 01:24:28 +0000 Peri 925795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, so I had to look and see what naughty pockets are! I love back flap pockets because I have an apple belly and a small behind...I think back flap pockets give me the illusion of a cuter tushy.</p> <p>Now, I just read an article on how to look great in jeans and it said avoid back flap pockets. But apparently Angie they have your blessing, and I like them.</p> <p>The more I try to learn what is "right" in style and fashion, the more I learn there is no right, and there are lots and lots of opinions. At least I think that's right. </p>
