Perhaps the family just need to get used to them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-received-a-lot-of-hate/page/2#post-860780 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 20:37:50 +0000 T-Rex 860780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look good in those jeans.

Great suggestions from others about the cuffs and heels. And there is hope -- my SO likes my BFs </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-received-a-lot-of-hate#post-860732 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 19:58:51 +0000 ElleH 860732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look good &amp; so do a lot of YLFers it seems and I also understand wanting to be attractive to your DH. Other than pleasing myself who is the person I would want attracted to me? DH of course. And not to get all insecure but there are other women wearing what my DH likes. Anyway, I think all but the most fashion forward men prefer clothes that show the shape of our bodies...meaning tailored &amp; bodycon. They like our bodies I'm sure you have many clothes that he does like though so I wouldn't worry too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-received-a-lot-of-hate#post-860712 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 19:40:13 +0000 CocoLion 860712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great. But as a fellow petite, what I find works with bf jeans is to wear heels, and sometimes to roll the hem a little longer. That would be my idea that might bring a little more love your way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-received-a-lot-of-hate#post-860674 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 19:09:45 +0000 catgirl 860674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look cute as can be, and very feminine as always! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-received-a-lot-of-hate#post-860648 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 18:44:22 +0000 MsMary 860648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was also going to suggest a higher heel. And you might want to adjust the rolled cuff so it's a little wider. But those are just tweaks -- as everyone else says, you look adorable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-received-a-lot-of-hate#post-860438 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 15:58:23 +0000 rae 860438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I love them! My DH still hates mine, too, and won't let the subject die. I have started telling *him* to try wearing skin-tight jeans for 2-3 years, even in the hot summer, and see why I appreciate loose pants now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-received-a-lot-of-hate#post-860427 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 15:55:26 +0000 Debbie 860427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-received-a-lot-of-hate#post-860425 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 15:54:15 +0000 kellygirl 860425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it. I think eventually your family will come around and welcome the BF </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-received-a-lot-of-hate#post-860413 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 15:44:33 +0000 rute 860413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Ladies!<br /> You always have the best advice.<br /> They didn't loved the rolled cuffs and the fact that they are baggy! I think they will get used to the idea because I loved and now, that I look at the photo I love even more.<br /> We at YLF are always a stap ahead and they just need time (I hope).<br /> The heel is a good Ideia (hubby loves heels), I must try it with a heel and with out the rolled cuffs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-received-a-lot-of-hate#post-860402 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 15:41:10 +0000 Tina.b 860402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great, love the BFs paired with the leather jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-received-a-lot-of-hate#post-860389 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 15:33:05 +0000 Anonymous 860389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww, I think you look really cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-received-a-lot-of-hate#post-860370 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 15:12:36 +0000 Anonymous 860370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yep, the fam is not too keen on them either but I generally just shrug my shoulders. You wear heels, right? You can try that too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-received-a-lot-of-hate#post-860366 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 15:07:53 +0000 Angie 860366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*chuckle*</p> <p>Give the family some time, gorgeous Rute! You look amazing like you always do. Hubby will get used to the BF </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-received-a-lot-of-hate#post-860351 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:56:17 +0000 ironkurtin 860351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sure sometimes they wear stuff that makes you shrug, too. That is the joy of family. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-received-a-lot-of-hate#post-860330 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:41:07 +0000 MNsara 860330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I think WE know better and I think you look adorable and your BFs are nicely fitting BFs.</p> <p>I like modgrl's idea of wearing them with some heel for a while, that may help your DH make the transition. Then come summer, slip back into those sandals and flats and get comfy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-received-a-lot-of-hate#post-860323 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:27:09 +0000 texstyle 860323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You didn't say *what* they didn't like about them - the distressing? the bagginess? the rolled cuffs? My BFs are not all that baggy, they are faded, not distressed with any holes or extreme wear. I also do not cuff them very high on my leg. And I don't wear them with heels since I just don't wear heels. My DH loves them on me. That said, he does not love every thing I wear but I want him to so I can see why it would bug you.</p> <p>I can't see these very well in the photo but it seems you look very cute and fashionable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-received-a-lot-of-hate#post-860311 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:12:48 +0000 Transcona Shannon 860311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this outfit is fab on you Rute and you wear the BF's very well. Sometimes it just takes time for family to come around to a different look on us. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-received-a-lot-of-hate#post-860310 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:07:23 +0000 Glory 860310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great but feel your pain on the families lack of appreciation. My children have been pretty tough on me with many an item. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-received-a-lot-of-hate#post-860304 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:03:25 +0000 modgrl 860304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually think they are very cute, I didn't like them when you posted them from the dressing room but I think you totally nailed the look.<br /> Do you have any slightly higher heeled oxfords or booties?<br /> They would be cute too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-received-a-lot-of-hate#post-860295 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:50:19 +0000 lyn67 860295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think we know better, Rute!:-) YLGorgeous and fashion forward as always! I say you did a good job on the BF's! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-received-a-lot-of-hate#post-860266 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:29:47 +0000 Suz 860266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific, Rute! I guess it is just a question of your family adjusting their eyes.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-received-a-lot-of-hate#post-860262 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:24:42 +0000 Thistle 860262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look FAB!! Very cutting edge and fashion forward. Maybe the hubby is jealous of the boyfriend? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-received-a-lot-of-hate#post-860258 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:22:43 +0000 Janet 860258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you look great! </p> <p>I guess it's up to you whether you can weather the criticism from your family to wear the style, or whether it bothers you enough to avoid it in the future. Once I know my husband hates something I wear, I find it very difficult to wear it again. But he likes the vast majority of what I do wear, so I don't run into this very often. </p> <p>If you continue to wear your BFs, your family may just get used to it. </p>
