You look so happy in them! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/promoted-to-a-kr-tr-camerons-vs-sexy-bfs/page/2#post-891342 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 14:15:41 +0000 Nadya 891342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Rae, thanks for sharing your thought process with us - its fun and&nbsp;HELPFUL to see not just the great jeans, but how you thought it through.&nbsp;<br /><br />Til death do you two part, enjoy! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/promoted-to-a-kr-tr-camerons-vs-sexy-bfs/page/2#post-891341 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 14:11:23 +0000 Transcona Shannon 891341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm soooo late to this thread but wanted to pop in and say I'm glad you are keeping the TR's - they look AMAZING on you and you know the quality is fab. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/promoted-to-a-kr-tr-camerons-vs-sexy-bfs/page/2#post-891211 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 11:01:56 +0000 Karie 891211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ OK, so I'm not going to be much help. I love the way my TRs fit - they are not distressed jeans, they are summer weight jeans, but I love everything about them - the waist, the slouchyness (is that a word?), the length, etc. So&nbsp;I went back to the TR outlet store last Sat. to try the BF Camerons, and the jeans were mostly....get this....all over the floor! Yep. $100+ jeans thrown on tables and thrown all over the floor. That's taking distressed to a level I don't want to go to!&nbsp;So I went to the Gap and bought two pairs of SBF jeans. They were on hangers https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/promoted-to-a-kr-tr-camerons-vs-sexy-bfs/page/2#post-891147 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 05:55:55 +0000 catgirl 891147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ YAY!&nbsp; Good choice. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/promoted-to-a-kr-tr-camerons-vs-sexy-bfs/page/2#post-891142 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 05:46:53 +0000 CocoLion 891142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The TRs! &nbsp;Are you in the least surprised?<br /><br />And I admire your goal of no duplication. &nbsp;I should contemplate that as a goal. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/promoted-to-a-kr-tr-camerons-vs-sexy-bfs#post-891120 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 05:08:48 +0000 rae 891120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Seriously, thank you for <i>every single</i> opinion. Even if I didn't come to the same conclusion, you all brought up very important deciding factors.&nbsp;It took forever, but I am coming back to share my verdict... the SBFs are up on Ebay, and the TRs are in my closet, 'till denim&nbsp;disintegration&nbsp;do us part.&nbsp;<br /><br />Diana/Ceit/Kelly/Thistle and Aida argued on opposite sides of the <b>versatility</b> factor, and it came down to the fact that I live in SoCal. I've seen ripped jeans in super fancy restaurants... they aren't ragged so much as they're rock n' roll. Plus they ventilate and can be worn full-length. Bagginess is much more of an issue because it isn't mainstream here yet. Hollywood loves bodycon.<br /><br />Scarlet advised to decide based on <b>longevity</b> - would I wear the TRs to the end of their life? I've had my last pair of super distressed jeans for 7 years, and I still love them to pieces. Great distressing = true love for me, while super baggy may or may not be a fling.&nbsp;<br /><br />And of course Angie reminded me of the <b>quality</b> factor. The fabric and button fly on the TRs&nbsp;totally remind my of my 2002 Lucky jeans, which wore like <i>iron</i>. I do have to say I prefer their cut as well. I'm always checking out jeans, and the right cut with the right rise&nbsp;in the right fabric in the right wash with the right distressing&nbsp;does NOT come along every day, especially with light washes.<br /><br />So there you have it:&nbsp;I'm going to have to take a deep breath and go on SYC (for real this time... this year it isn't about control or willpower but about the actual budget), but I think it's worth it. I know it seems crazy to many of you, but an upgraded slouchy and destroyed jean is a reasonable investment piece for this UWP. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/promoted-to-a-kr-tr-camerons-vs-sexy-bfs#post-891020 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 03:02:31 +0000 Tanya 891020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am another one who has a poison eye for ripped jeans, yet thinks that TRs look fabulous on you and you should definitely keep them. &nbsp;They are quite different from the Gap BF ones so whether or not you decide to sell those would be a purely budgetary consideration. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/promoted-to-a-kr-tr-camerons-vs-sexy-bfs#post-891018 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 02:59:09 +0000 Susie 891018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My first pick is to keep both because they are different and both look good on you. But if you have to pick just one, I vote TR. By a mile. They just look like you. And you look quite happy in them! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/promoted-to-a-kr-tr-camerons-vs-sexy-bfs#post-891012 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 02:45:15 +0000 Caro in Oz 891012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have no idea about the jeans - just wanted to say how much I love your hair in the latest photos (keep the hair). https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/promoted-to-a-kr-tr-camerons-vs-sexy-bfs#post-890692 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 22:41:58 +0000 Raisin 890692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like the non-distressed jeans better. &nbsp;I like the look of them, and the fact that they are roomier. &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/promoted-to-a-kr-tr-camerons-vs-sexy-bfs#post-890684 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 22:34:36 +0000 Aida 890684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I 100% vote keep the TRs, sell the light SBFs, and use the darker SBFs if you want a more baggy look. Most likely if it's hot enough for your lighter wash jeans... you'll find the TRs or baggy short shorts better options, anyway. And if the TRs are cotton with no stretch, then I vote for them by 200% https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/promoted-to-a-kr-tr-camerons-vs-sexy-bfs#post-890568 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 21:00:26 +0000 goldenpig 890568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am surprising myself with my vote. I would never in a million years wear something so torn up myself but they look great on you and are so very Rae! If you already have a dark wash non-torn BF I would get rid of the light wash Gaps and keep the TR's.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/promoted-to-a-kr-tr-camerons-vs-sexy-bfs#post-890542 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 20:35:29 +0000 cciele 890542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Like Una, I don't think the two are comparable. They both look great on you, but the Gap BFs has the super slouchy thing going on, and the TR Camerons have the baggy distressed thing going on. Which do you anticipate wearing more often? Is the money better applied to the Danier jacket?<br /><br />FYI, I am jealous of you gals that look so fab in your&nbsp;Camerons! Like a good lemming, I ordered a pair but they look horrible on me :b https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/promoted-to-a-kr-tr-camerons-vs-sexy-bfs#post-890539 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 20:30:24 +0000 Sarah A 890539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am totally surprising myself by saying I prefer the TR's. They look so authentic to your style and you seem so happy wearing them.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/promoted-to-a-kr-tr-camerons-vs-sexy-bfs#post-890528 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 20:23:12 +0000 ElleH 890528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I prefer the TR because I haven't got used to BFs yet. I still like more traditional figure flattery more than oversized&nbsp;&amp; I think your DH&nbsp;&amp; a lot of men do too. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/promoted-to-a-kr-tr-camerons-vs-sexy-bfs#post-890358 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 17:26:25 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 890358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It's a draw for me.&nbsp; I <u>love</u> the Camerons - and you have to understand when I say this, I never wear jeans, and grunge has never been my style - but these are relaxed enough to be cool, but fitted enough to show your enviable figure.&nbsp; <br /><br />The draw is that you already have a pair of jeans that are pretty similar in the other photos, that look great on you as well, and of course, there are your budgetary considerations.<br /><br />Practical Me says in her Hermione Granger voice: there is always another pair of cute jeans, leather jacket, perfect shoes, etc. just around the corner.&nbsp; &nbsp; The Camerons aren't the last pair of super-cute jeans you're going to see in the months to come.<br /><br />Wicked Me murmurs in a sultry voice that the Camerons are fiercely-cute and you should sell the old jeans.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/promoted-to-a-kr-tr-camerons-vs-sexy-bfs#post-890355 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 17:21:44 +0000 Mo 890355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I currently have 2 pair of what I consider BF fits on me. &nbsp;One is the TR Cameron in Vera Cruz, a medium solid wash&nbsp;(no rips so I can wear them to work) and the other is the distressed Vigoss. &nbsp;I feel these perfectly round out the BF capsule.<br />I think one distressed and one dark wash is a varied enough BF capsule if you are looking to not duplicate unnecessarily this year. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/promoted-to-a-kr-tr-camerons-vs-sexy-bfs#post-890344 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 17:09:04 +0000 Scarlet 890344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the new ones best in every comparison and rear is still cute considering that it is non-fitted. However, I would only keep them if you want to wear them to the end of their life. If this is a look that you will only wear for a year or two then I think the Gaps are good enough and I would spend my dollars elsewhere. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/promoted-to-a-kr-tr-camerons-vs-sexy-bfs#post-890325 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 16:53:36 +0000 Anonymous 890325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'd keep both. You're not going to get much for a used pair of Gap SBFs to really offset any significant percentage of the True Religions. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/promoted-to-a-kr-tr-camerons-vs-sexy-bfs#post-890318 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 16:50:18 +0000 texstyle 890318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think you should keep the ones you love more and let the other pair go.&nbsp; Happiness factor is so important! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/promoted-to-a-kr-tr-camerons-vs-sexy-bfs#post-890286 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 16:33:13 +0000 Angie 890286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I own both - although my TRs have no tears, and are just faded. (I am wearing them now before I head off to meet a client, in which case I will pop on a full skirt).<br /><br />Okay. No more rambling. I meant to say that you can't compare the two. I like my Gaps. I LOVE my TR's. Better fit and quality all round.&nbsp;I bet the extra length may have something to do with it too. My TRs are full length. The Gaps are cropped.&nbsp;<br /><br />I vote TRs. They are SO RAE.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/promoted-to-a-kr-tr-camerons-vs-sexy-bfs#post-890284 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 16:33:04 +0000 Tina.b 890284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like them, prefer them to the SBFs. I'm not particularly RATE myself, and even I am on the hunt for a pair of super distressed jeans. These look fantastic on you! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/promoted-to-a-kr-tr-camerons-vs-sexy-bfs#post-890276 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 16:26:10 +0000 Diana 890276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hmm, I am conflicted.&nbsp; On the one hand, I do have both my ripped-up MEK jeans (full-length, not very baggy) and my SBFs (short, baggy, darker, cleaner wash) and I think they are not the same at all and I wear and like both.&nbsp; On the other hand, <i>I can wear them to work.</i>&nbsp; So in my situation, I'd think about keeping both.&nbsp; (I think they are both fab on you!)&nbsp; <br /><br />However, how many non-work outfits are you wearing per week these days, and would you be able to get a reasonable number of outfits out of the TRs in a reasonable amount of time?&nbsp; I do feel like the non-distressed SBFs might be more versatile in terms of numbers of outfits you can make with them and hence lower cost per wear.&nbsp; I know the TRs are expensive....<br /><br />I definitely find it easier to style my SBFs than my super distressed MEKs, because it's too easy to go too OTT with all the rips and distressing.&nbsp; <br /><br />ETA: Also, I realize this is not as much of an issue in CA, but I actually can't wear my ripped jeans when it's really cold out because my knee gets cold where the big hole is.&nbsp; =P <br /><br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/promoted-to-a-kr-tr-camerons-vs-sexy-bfs#post-890275 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 16:25:12 +0000 Anonymous 890275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Okay then. Of course, I missed the price of the Camerons. Would it make me faint? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/promoted-to-a-kr-tr-camerons-vs-sexy-bfs#post-890268 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 16:22:12 +0000 shedev 890268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the one with the rips. I have really distressd jeans on my wish list. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/promoted-to-a-kr-tr-camerons-vs-sexy-bfs#post-890266 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 16:20:49 +0000 catgirl 890266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Okay, then get rid of the lighter SBFs.&nbsp; That way you have a baggy dark wash and a ripped faded look.&nbsp; And don't ask how many of these *I* have.&nbsp; I hoard them like Gollum. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/promoted-to-a-kr-tr-camerons-vs-sexy-bfs#post-890252 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 16:13:23 +0000 rae 890252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well, I can get maybe $30 for them, but every bit counts. Most of my Ebay&nbsp;items are like $10 items. I think it also feels wrong for me to have <i>three</i> BF jeans.&nbsp;I am&nbsp;definitely keeping my dark wash SBFs, which are totally baggy and also conceivably wear-to-work-able, if my situation ever changes.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/promoted-to-a-kr-tr-camerons-vs-sexy-bfs#post-890246 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 16:10:51 +0000 Thistle 890246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So, take this with a grain of salt.&nbsp; I do not much like distressing to the point of rips.&nbsp; I think it seriously reduces wearability. While it can be styled to be very trendy, I tend to just find it sloppy. Now remember, this is conservative me we are talking about here living in the midwest not California.<br /><br />Also, neither pair is a favorite of DH. I understand we have to do things for ourselves, but it sounds like you already have one pair&nbsp;and could return the second for a full refund.<br /><br />So, it really comes down to budget and your preference. Both look good on you, but the ripped pair is less versatile IMHO. DH doesn't like either of them. Can you be happy with the pair you currently have? Does it fill the slot in your wardrobe you want it to fill? If so, return the other pair and use the funds toward another wardrobe purchase.
