Well,&nbsp;I have already worn my new BF's&nbsp;twice and I felt comfy, stylish and, thanks to you all, confident. Even my husband loves them and I am already thinking of getting another pair in a darker wash. I am hooked, and&nbsp;I will get around to posting WIW, please bear with me. Thank you :)<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-boyfriend-yay-or-nay#post-1197578 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 21:55:52 +0000 deb 1197578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely a yay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-boyfriend-yay-or-nay#post-1197523 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 21:00:46 +0000 Vicki 1197523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a big Yay for me, too, and I think you look fantastic in them. &nbsp;Keep wearing them, please. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-boyfriend-yay-or-nay#post-1197476 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 20:20:28 +0000 Angie 1197476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More thumbs up from me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-boyfriend-yay-or-nay#post-1197464 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 19:58:09 +0000 Pat Chenell 1197464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great on you! I do agree with comments suggesting to let them slide a touch lower by loosening the belt a notch or so. The pump elongates the leg nicely. For the art show I would maybe front-tuck a sparkly&nbsp;tank or close-fitting tee and add a clutch bag. I think if you colour-match the belt to either the top or the jeans, you can visually raise or lower the waist line?? And as for distressing, I recently turned 52 and became a grandmother, and neither will stop me from wearing distressed jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-boyfriend-yay-or-nay#post-1197433 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 19:19:23 +0000 Suz 1197433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look fantastic!

They look amazing on!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-boyfriend-yay-or-nay#post-1197312 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 17:14:10 +0000 viva 1197312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them on you! What I am really coming to appreciate about BFs is their versatility. You can wear them slightly baggy or very baggy, with super casual clothes or dressed up, with high contrast colors (belt) or not! They allow for a lot of playing around.</p> <p>I think they look fantastic on you. Have fun with them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-boyfriend-yay-or-nay#post-1197306 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 17:05:02 +0000 Anonymous 1197306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look amazing in them and I like the amount of bagginess.

This was just a quick look to model them for you guys, I reached for the pumps (I&nbsp;thought if they don't work with nude pumps, I am hopeless :)) and the belt just went with them. I'm not in love with this belt myself, I'll certainly try styling them with a darker one. Probably cognac! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-boyfriend-yay-or-nay#post-1197236 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 16:01:09 +0000 biscuitsmom 1197236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them! Do you have a darker belt you could try? The white one kind od takes away from the jeans, imo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-boyfriend-yay-or-nay#post-1197234 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 15:59:15 +0000 EveningMood 1197234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all so much! I wanted to wear them today and try letting them hang in their beltless glory&nbsp;but my office is still freezing and my ankles not ready. Now&nbsp;I'm thinking of wearing them dressed up at the Frida Kahlo show I'm going to on Wednesday, for an arty and fashion-forward look. It's probably just wishful thinking, but it's still fun </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-boyfriend-yay-or-nay#post-1196710 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 21:29:06 +0000 Marmee 1196710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>EM, I like them in the first picture, and totally understand about being hesitant about the extra bagginess.&nbsp;I think you're so tiny, that you can handle a little extra width like in the first picture. &nbsp;Try letting the crotch hang a little bit, and then pull your shirt out in the back so that you have a faux tuck. &nbsp;And I forgot to mention that the distressing looks great on you!</p> <p>Good for you for going to the park with your kids. &nbsp;I vote for that any day rather than tidying! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-boyfriend-yay-or-nay#post-1196700 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 21:24:53 +0000 CocoLion 1196700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing in these!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-boyfriend-yay-or-nay#post-1196697 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 21:22:55 +0000 Gigi 1196697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these look great! Definitely worth giving them a spin to see how you like them in action. And no, I don't think they're too distressed for your age. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-boyfriend-yay-or-nay#post-1196695 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 21:21:08 +0000 NDMom 1196695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look fantastic....good job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-boyfriend-yay-or-nay#post-1196694 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 21:20:58 +0000 EveningMood 1196694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much AG! I don't feel too old for these but go figure :)</p> <p>Marmee, thanks! Frankly I wanted to size *down* at the store but could not because that size was sold out. I'm afraid I am not ready to handle baggier that this yet Lower on my hips than they are in the first pic? I thought they made me look much wider worn without the belt. Maybe I could loosen the belt?</p> <p>El Cee, you're so nice! And so right. Even distressing has a totally different vibe on these than it has on tighter jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-boyfriend-yay-or-nay#post-1196684 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 21:12:19 +0000 El Cee 1196684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these on you. I do not think the amount of distressing on this pair&nbsp;is at all age inappropriate. [I wear (and love) distressed jeans and I am 56.] I hope you keep and enjoy these BF's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-boyfriend-yay-or-nay#post-1196677 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 21:06:26 +0000 Marmee 1196677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're so tiny! &nbsp;I think they're cute, but am wondering if you could size up one size. &nbsp;It also looks like they could hang a bit lower on your hips. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-boyfriend-yay-or-nay#post-1196676 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 21:04:52 +0000 catgirl 1196676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You wear these like a champ, EM!&nbsp; I love them.&nbsp; And too distressed for 39?&nbsp; Pish!&nbsp; I figure I'm getting more distressed as I age, why shouldn't my clothing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-boyfriend-yay-or-nay#post-1196670 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 21:03:12 +0000 EveningMood 1196670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried the boyfriend jeans trend last year and gave up because I couldn't adjust to the baggy look, and if they aren't baggy, what's the point? But after seeing all you guys looking fab and comfy in BF's I decided to give them another chance. I got these at H&amp;M at a reasonable price for an experiment, and I kind of like them and can't wait to style them for spring looks, but do they work? Are they too distressed for a soon-to-be 39-year-old? Sorry the pics aren't great, this is the best I could do today with my iPad (phone was dead!) and had to do it in a hurry, I'll have no time at all through the week. I also tried to cut out most of my messy bedroom (left it like that this morning for a good cause: spending a little more time with the kids at the park). Pic 1 is beltless and I'm iffy. 2 and 3 with belt, happier. What do you think? Please be ruthless, they don't need to be a ten but I want to look nice! Thank you </p>
