There's something about crisp button-down and brilliantly-fitting jeans that makes it an instant winner for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/she-bought-her-own-jeans#post-728711 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 05:11:20 +0000 Scarlet 728711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans fit perfectly! How funny! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/she-bought-her-own-jeans#post-728700 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 04:47:35 +0000 MNsara 728700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great story! I agree that they were fated to return to you! They were hanging out there just waiting for you to return and save them :-)</p> <p>They also happen to look fabUlous now!! You can wear them confidently any way you choose because all three outfits look wonderful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/she-bought-her-own-jeans#post-728598 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 01:51:18 +0000 Suz 728598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an incredible story! But the jeans really DID belong with you. They look fantastic on you. My favourite is with the black shirt, but I love the white blouse, too, and the button down is a fabulous colour for you. I like it tucked that way, but if you are not feeling good that way then perhaps untucking is best for now. There will be time later for that when all has settled. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/she-bought-her-own-jeans#post-728595 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 01:46:05 +0000 Jaime 728595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is so funny - I have more than once found myself almost picking up my old clothes at a consignment shop. Anyhow, it was clearly meant to be because those jeans look terrific on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/she-bought-her-own-jeans#post-728517 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 00:16:29 +0000 Jonesy 728517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your new (old) jeans look fantastic on you! I'm glad they found their way back to you :). I like the black shirt best. Maybe the white one unbelted (don't know if you are on Team Surrender Your Waist or not?). I might try the last shirt untucked, like the black one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/she-bought-her-own-jeans#post-728467 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 23:31:37 +0000 Anonymous 728467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I donated my older sister's prom gown to Goodwill (clearing out our mom's house), she insisted I go back and buy it. Then she realized she didn't need a decades-old prom dress and donated it again herself. Older sisters, sigh.</p> <p>You look fantastic in these jeans. They have your name on them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/she-bought-her-own-jeans#post-728438 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 22:57:14 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 728438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! I've almost bought my own donations at the thrift store - but I think I've managed not to. I have bought the same thing twice, though, like two identical cardigans in the same color a few months apart. Whoops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/she-bought-her-own-jeans#post-728430 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 22:51:26 +0000 Caro in Oz 728430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great story, great jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/she-bought-her-own-jeans#post-728421 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 22:42:44 +0000 Angie 728421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE #2 and #3.

Those jeans look amazing on you! Love them particularly with the blue button down shirt in 6-8. You look gorgeous.</p> <p>That's too funny though - obviously those jeans are meant to be yours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/she-bought-her-own-jeans#post-728389 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 22:14:40 +0000 bj1111 728389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i adore all these looks. the jean makes you look booti-licious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/she-bought-her-own-jeans#post-728383 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 22:11:47 +0000 krishnidoux 728383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last week I went to check on my sales at a consignment store and since I had made a bit of money, I started browsing for something new. After trying just about the whole store, I was left with one hanger, a pair of jeans I'd picked up, that didn't look too long, Gap 1969, which usually fits me well... I try it on... Wow, I think, the owner of these must have had pretty similar features to mine cause this fits me... I say... like a T! Well I have to take them.</p> <p>Then we realize at the cash they were mine!</p> <p>An unsold pair from last February.</p> <p>I remember back them selling them because I thought they were too big.</p> <p>That's why I didn't recognize them in the fitting room: I had never seen them fall on my body in this way. Anyway, the owner "gave" them back to me, saying it was the universe wanting me to keep my jeans. Funny!</p> <p>Here they are. I have tried to styled them. But I must say right now that today I feel so bloated and awful, it's hard to get all excited over an outfit. I soldiered on.</p> <p>pics 1-2: with a BR black shirt, trying to tame the "untucked" look (so not me).</p> <p>pics 3-5: with a bohemian inspired sheer blouse. (again, sorry for the blurry one. I was the only one from the front). Trying to style it with a belt. Because suddenly the new breasts change the whole look of this blouse on me, and without a belt it makes it look like a tent. Does this work?</p> <p>pics 6-8: with a TH blue button down shirt, tucked. I a so uncomfortable here. It might be all in my head. But I feel bulky, not sexy at all. </p> <p>So, should I re-love these jeans or was I right to get rid of them in the first place? (Also notice how the hem is now shorter? It doesn't use to be like this. It's because now I fill them out). </p>
