You have to remind him that you are fashion forward! I would also roll them higher on your leg and pair them with a sandal to make the whole look a little lighter and more feminine, personally. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/r13-inspired-by-shedev-and-marley#post-1334635 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 02:14:42 +0000 Deborah 1334635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just had to come back and say <b>you do not look dumpy</b>.&nbsp;&nbsp; Please tell DH from me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/r13-inspired-by-shedev-and-marley#post-1334617 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 01:52:37 +0000 Marley 1334617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And these were in the donate pile for what reason?????<br />I think they are definitely working on you! &nbsp;You can pull these off! &nbsp;If I were you I would think about having them shortened a bit - so that you can cuff them a couple of inches above your ankle bone if you want - or, wear them full-length if you want. &nbsp;I like the shoes (but then, I'm a sneaker fan!) &nbsp;I would follow Angie's advice and tuck in the shoe-laces. &nbsp;That, along with them cuffed just a little bit higher and I think they would be great!<br />Also - yes, I do wear mine lower on my hips than what you are showing in these pics - and yes, I can pull them down even when they are fully zipped and buttoned. &nbsp;BUT, I can do that with almost all of my jeans - the curse of "flat-butt!"<br />As far as other shoes go - I have found that booties work really great with them - I've never tried them with sandals.<br />Hope you keep them and have fun wearing them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/r13-inspired-by-shedev-and-marley#post-1334356 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 20:39:47 +0000 ironkurtin 1334356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shedev, I don't own any crossovers, but I have had some standard R13 button-fronts that I had altered.&nbsp; I also have no hips, so YMMV. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/r13-inspired-by-shedev-and-marley#post-1334345 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 20:22:26 +0000 shedev 1334345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IK they are like that on me, I wonder if wearing them lower will help. Because they don't come in at the waist I can take mine off without undoing them.</p> <p>bj1111, I like the fit on you. They don't photogragh well from the front to me, but that is not how we see them in real life. I also think they are probably JFE by design, and that traditional flattery isn't the point.</p> <p>Is DH likely to continue to tease you about these pants. I get teased about the miramars (my pants look as dirty as his workpants)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/r13-inspired-by-shedev-and-marley#post-1334292 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 18:25:29 +0000 bj1111 1334292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Deborah and Kelly: &nbsp;thanks for the moral support. &nbsp;hubs took one look at it and pronounced "it makes you look dumpy." &nbsp;he is so great for the ego.</p> <p>@Angie: agree i need to wear a more contrasting belt. the loops are deceptively small and will take only up 10 a 1 1/4" width. the brown belt i tried was too brown (of course!). &nbsp;i&nbsp;tried my white belt but it shortened the leg line too much for me. &nbsp;</p> <p>@Suz, Diana, lisap: if i pulled the pants down farther like Marley, or cuffed higher to show more ankle, my leg line gets too stumpified, at least to my eye. &nbsp;actually, the leg is so long and narrow, i can not cuff it any higher without getting it altered.&nbsp; i think i will try a strappier shoe instead.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/r13-inspired-by-shedev-and-marley#post-1334283 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 17:59:32 +0000 ironkurtin 1334283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, so it's not just me! &nbsp;I find their legs tight and the waists shloopy. &nbsp;I've had some of mine taken in because the last thing I need is my kid yanking my pants off my butt the next time she hangs on my waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/r13-inspired-by-shedev-and-marley#post-1334246 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 17:00:01 +0000 Anonymous 1334246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with Diana here - my very first instinct is to roll them up a tad more :)</p> <p>Those sneakers are cute with them too ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/r13-inspired-by-shedev-and-marley#post-1334245 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 16:57:18 +0000 bj1111 1334245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ik, the waist is 27. &nbsp;i normally wear 27/28 in jbrand. &nbsp;in the r13, if i try hard enough, i can pull the pants off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/r13-inspired-by-shedev-and-marley#post-1334167 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 15:34:47 +0000 ironkurtin 1334167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Out of curiosuity, what is the waist size?&nbsp; 26? 27?&nbsp; My experience with R13 sizing is that it is crazy all over the map. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/r13-inspired-by-shedev-and-marley#post-1334141 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 15:01:24 +0000 Diana 1334141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them on you. I think the sneaks would work better if you showed a little more ankle. At this length they look a little sloppy to me. </p> <p>Or maybe try some flat strappy sandals? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/r13-inspired-by-shedev-and-marley#post-1334075 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 14:10:02 +0000 Angie 1334075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the shape. Very fashionable. You need a broader belt to my eye. Something that fills out the belt loops and looks more deliberate.&nbsp;</p> <p>On trend with the sneaks. My thumbs are up. Tie away the laces?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/r13-inspired-by-shedev-and-marley#post-1334074 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 14:09:19 +0000 Suz 1334074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hard to see the detail on my laptop but the fit looks good -- though I think Marley wears hers a bit lower down on her hips, maybe? Not sure. I feel completely unable to suggest footwear for these. I would probably wear booties, but then that is what I pretty much have to wear for half the year.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/r13-inspired-by-shedev-and-marley#post-1334068 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 14:06:07 +0000 kellygirl 1334068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like these as is! Great jeans. Love the sneaks.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/r13-inspired-by-shedev-and-marley#post-1334039 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 13:29:25 +0000 Deborah 1334039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fab on you bj! Fit looks awesome. I want to see footwear other than sneaks tho...but that is just me, I haven't embraced the sneaks look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/r13-inspired-by-shedev-and-marley#post-1334033 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 13:22:16 +0000 bj1111 1334033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pulled these out of the donate pile over hubs' objections.</p> <p>Not sure about the shoes. Do I need lighter shoes? </p>
