It's frustrating for something to be too tight at the waist, but knowing that if you size up the bust and shoulders will be too big and difficult to alter.</p> <p>I'm also constantly looking for skinny/slim straight white jeans that are opaque enough to hide the pocket linings. I refuse to buy jeans without functional front and back pockets.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spin-off-items-you-wish-you-could-find/page/3#post-1378668 Sun, 19 Oct 2014 00:35:07 +0000 Anonymous 1378668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A really good quality leather jacket, in a petite size, at a price I can afford.</p> <p>Dressy ankle boots that don't have really high heels.

I never heard of them, but upon googling, discovered they are a Gwen stefani thing, and that these interesting slouchy pants from the line are available at Shopbop.

I was so jealous of DH recently when we went jeans shopping for him. He just scanned the waist and hip measurements in his length and voila! perfect fitting jeans.

And a pair in cognac too. (I've looked at Duo too, and I always wonder why they don't let you customize shaft height as well as width.)&nbsp;</p> <p>I'll also take wrap dresses that don't&nbsp;need a cami. And one of Gigi's merino fit and flare sweater dresses.</p> <p>Would also love a pair of pajama jeans in a darker, non-ripped style without the elastic cuffs. And a stylish, not aggressively sensible-looking,&nbsp;petite winter coat that's roomy enough to fit bulky sweaters under but is fitted enough at the waist not to just look big and shapeless. And maybe some burgundy heeled booties that &nbsp;work with both dresses and pants.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spin-off-items-you-wish-you-could-find/page/2#post-1376842 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 07:14:17 +0000 Neel 1376842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White boyfriends ....

They only had my size left, so maybe they're great? Who knows. I'm a little worried about the back view because of the elastic waist. I've reached that point in life where I'm losing my rear (which was small to begin with), and I think baggy pants make me look even flatter. Ultimately, I may have to stick with skinnies or bootcuts with a tight booty; they are the only things that give me shape in the trunk. Even barre workouts with all the squats aren't helping. Frankly, right now I'd happily accept 7 pounds right on my butt.</p> <p>Anyway, I ramble.</p> <p>I'll post pics unless they are horrible. </p>
