I have EXP BFs from three years ago.....they are super comfy, but really, really big. I am anxious to see your blog post on this matter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-gap-bf-jeans-update/page/2#post-670366 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 21:16:58 +0000 Janet 670366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bit the bullet and bought a pair today. The 6s fit me like normal jeans. The 8s I can take off without unbuttoning or unzipping, and they feel like they will stretch quite a bit during wear. It almost seems like being able to take them off without undoing them is the benchmark for a successful BF fit! </p> <p>I got the wash with the normal pockets, not the flap pockets. I normally don't mind flap pockets, but these were square which did not appeal to me at all. </p> <p>I kind of wish they were regular length. I'd be a little curious to wear them longer in the fall. But they're cropped, so I'll try them rolled. They didn't seem unflattering in the mirror, but I'll probably post them for feedback later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-gap-bf-jeans-update/page/2#post-669942 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 14:57:14 +0000 citygirldc 669942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - would a petite gall like me look good in gabby BF jeans? I feel like my hips would look big. I guess I would have to try some on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-gap-bf-jeans-update/page/2#post-669282 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 17:57:35 +0000 Angie 669282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, no pocket flaps. I much prefer the look of no flaps. Also, I'd be careful with purchasing talls hoping that they work both ways (rolled and full length). The rolls look very bulky when they are long, which to my eye is not a great look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-gap-bf-jeans-update/page/2#post-669276 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 17:50:58 +0000 Meredith1953 669276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually pulled mine off yesterday without unbuttoning. That's how low on my hips they were hanging! A young SA at BR yesterday asked where I bought mine ajd what brand they were! She liked them that much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-gap-bf-jeans-update/page/2#post-669273 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 17:45:57 +0000 Diana 669273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, did you get the ones with the flap pockets or the regular pockets?<br /> I just saw on the gap website that the flap pocket ones are 100% cotton so now they are back on my radar. Am actually considering trying Talls as I would honestly prefer them to be full length (and I can always roll them up anyway). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-gap-bf-jeans-update/page/2#post-669253 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 17:29:55 +0000 Angie 669253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara, just go try the Gap ones on and show us! In your regular size and up a size. Moderately baggy could very well be your sweet spot. </p> <p>And thanks for the kind words. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-gap-bf-jeans-update/page/2#post-669226 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 17:00:31 +0000 MNsara 669226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fearless Angie You've rocked your dropped crotch harem pants for quite a while too! I'm SO looking forward to your pics/post!!</p> <p>I've been trying on lots of potential BFs and still not found a sweet spot. I've been mulling this over and sort of thinking that for us not too tall, thigh-heavy pears, that the very baggy BFs are just too much something, volume or bad proportions, or ??? It seems like I'd need to stay more mildly baggy to make it work (if I can make it work at all).</p> <p>When you talk about jeans barely hanging onto your hips, I'm seeing the body types whos thighs are nowhere near filling out the legs. </p> <p>Should not-too-tall, thigh-heavy pears possibly buy for the thighs and alter the rest? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-gap-bf-jeans-update/page/2#post-669142 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 14:40:17 +0000 Angie 669142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've built up quite a bit of expectation :)</p> <p>Una, you are Queen Sexy BF Jeans. Three pairs! </p> <p>I do not expect everyone to like the dropped crotch effect, but in the spirit of fashion fun, why not! I don't think it's an unflattering look. If I did I wouldn't be wearing them that way, right? When I asked my fashion stylist Greg what he thought he said: "They look very cute." There you go! The look is not repelling my man so I am going for it. </p> <p>Judging from Jonesy's pinterest board, I think she will like the dropped crotch effect </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-gap-bf-jeans-update#post-669108 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 13:31:24 +0000 Transcona Shannon 669108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Angie - please HURRY with your BF outfit post. It's KILLING ME!!!! (lol) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-gap-bf-jeans-update#post-669093 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 12:36:55 +0000 marianna 669093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds interesting! I'd really love a visual of you in your jeans, Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-gap-bf-jeans-update#post-669073 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 09:26:42 +0000 Deborah 669073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking forward to seeing these Angie:). Im still assessing the BF jeans trend:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-gap-bf-jeans-update#post-668975 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 03:53:31 +0000 Heather 668975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amped for your new blog post!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-gap-bf-jeans-update#post-668945 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 03:03:45 +0000 rae 668945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahh... I am interested to see this. My matchsticks aren't super tapered, but I could see tucking them into short boots if they fit. I can't wait to see how you style them - dropped crotch makes me feel very butch, which I definitely don't like, but somehow I know you will still look ladylike and pristine, Angie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-gap-bf-jeans-update#post-668924 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 01:08:57 +0000 Beth 668924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm also very interested in seeing how you wear these, Angie. You're a terrible tease:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-gap-bf-jeans-update#post-668919 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 01:03:16 +0000 JennyAnne 668919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now I am really curious. They don't sound like I'd like them for my style, but I love just about everything you wear, so yeah, I'm curious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-gap-bf-jeans-update#post-668918 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 01:02:38 +0000 Jonesy 668918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun! I can't wait to see them in all of their drop-crotch, baggy glory, Angie :). </p> <p>Una, you sound like you have quite the collection started! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-gap-bf-jeans-update#post-668913 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 00:40:16 +0000 catgirl 668913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually have 3 pairs now in 3 sizes - 2, 4 and 6. The 6 is a size up from my usual size and fits like yours. The 4 is slouchy but not overly so, and the 2 is just slightly so. And I love all of them for different looks.</p> <p>Can't wait to see yours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-gap-bf-jeans-update#post-668847 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 22:50:00 +0000 cciele 668847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your BF jeans sound great Angie! Can't wait to see photos. I like mine super baggy and falling off too -- it's such a nice change from skinnies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-gap-bf-jeans-update#post-668836 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 22:33:29 +0000 Jjsloane 668836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Completely agree on the baggy sweet spot. I have a few different pair and I actually love the feeling of the ones that bag more as they make me feel like I lost weight. I realize I probably LOOK larger, but mentally it's freeing. I really look forward to how you style BF jeans Angie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-gap-bf-jeans-update#post-668799 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 21:31:00 +0000 morethanbeige 668799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't wait to see. They sound so fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-gap-bf-jeans-update#post-668781 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 20:50:27 +0000 Amy 668781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad you posted your thoughts about these, Angie. I tried them on and the sales clerk was trying to sell me on the smaller size, but I was more smitten with the larger size. I got stuck in a loop of indecision </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-gap-bf-jeans-update#post-668777 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 20:47:22 +0000 Diana 668777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't wait to see them in an outfit, Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-gap-bf-jeans-update#post-668761 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 20:17:43 +0000 Transcona Shannon 668761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got the regular length ones KL and I'm only 5'1". I did have to hack off about two inches off the bottom though so the roll wouldn't be so bulky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-gap-bf-jeans-update#post-668755 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 20:03:27 +0000 Keix 668755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Will the regular-length Gap BF jeans work on petites? I'm not worried about the waist fit in a slouchy style, just the length and bulkiness of the roll. Website says that the regular length is 28" unrolled, just covering the ankle for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-gap-bf-jeans-update#post-668746 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 19:58:07 +0000 RoseandJoan 668746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I forgot, Seattle's summer has just arrived, I am trying not to be envious </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-gap-bf-jeans-update#post-668743 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 19:55:57 +0000 Angie 668743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah. Jules, they are a Summer item for me so far so I'm not sure how to wear them for Autumn yet. Perhaps UNROLLED and tucked into shorter boots. Mega baggy. Could be fun! I *wish* they were long enough to wear as regular jeans too. </p> <p>Ceit, it sounds like you and I have the same baggy sweet spot </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-gap-bf-jeans-update#post-668739 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 19:53:27 +0000 Transcona Shannon 668739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe once I get used to the BF jeans that "fit", I'll wanna take that slouchy look even further and get another pair a size up...you never know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-gap-bf-jeans-update#post-668737 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 19:52:46 +0000 Anonymous 668737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine are very low, they just hang on my hip bones for dear life. I sized up 2 sizes nominally as I am usually between an 8 and a 10 so I got a 12. I have a very low crotch on them and as the day goes on the top and seat gets looser and the crotch lower! But I am really enjoying them. Thanks for recommending them to us! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-gap-bf-jeans-update#post-668736 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 19:52:44 +0000 RoseandJoan 668736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh exciting, the low crotch feels right this season as does the oversized. Will you pair these with the NAS sweaters? </p>
