To me it adds an interesting element of texture and sometimes cooling I have torn-at-the-knee jeans, and they drive my mother batty. I always love it when I get a compliment on them from someone in her age group. I think you look fab in these, and the bag is such a great touch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-mid-life-crisis-jeans#post-1842370 Tue, 05 Sep 2017 04:46:42 +0000 Sal 1842370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific here - the silver top is great. &nbsp;And I like the jeans on you and it is fun to mix it up!!</p> <p>I do not see a mid life crisis:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-mid-life-crisis-jeans#post-1842365 Tue, 05 Sep 2017 04:30:00 +0000 Bijou 1842365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn - I like the jeans because they are definitely different to what I currently have.&nbsp;</p> <p>Angie - so glad that you adore the bag/ I bought this blazer two years ago when I was into a more loose style jacket with jeans - so I think it is now too big. I am reluctant to have it altered, as it is beautifully made in a double sided cashmere.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-mid-life-crisis-jeans#post-1842166 Mon, 04 Sep 2017 14:22:09 +0000 Angie 1842166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adore the bag.

I still prefer the concept of middle aged enthusiasm to crisis.</p> <p>But you look very pretty, and, interesting demonstration of how to pull rate back towards tidy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-mid-life-crisis-jeans#post-1841900 Sun, 03 Sep 2017 13:42:03 +0000 cheryl 1841900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing!

And I think the jeans look good on you. It's fun feeling like a bit of a rebel! I understand why your Dad wouldn't like them- spending good money on something torn?! Have a good Father's Day celebration. Our girls have come over and will cook dinner for their Dad which is nice. My Dad died in 2010 but I still think of him with love </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-mid-life-crisis-jeans#post-1841831 Sun, 03 Sep 2017 00:53:27 +0000 gryffin 1841831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bijou - I absolutely adore this look on you. If it makes you feel any better I ought the gap embroidered and distressed jeans and I'm 57 yo and am not having a midlife crisis either, lol!! I liked the artful distressing I bought those white iron on patches which I affixed inside so the distressing would remain perfect. I wear them exactly as you do but all black. Great belt, black cashmere tank and blazer. Great booties and bag. I feel cool, polished and hip when I wear them. Plus they are insanely comfortable. You look amazing and love the whole outfit. And what an amazing bag!! Enjoy it!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-mid-life-crisis-jeans#post-1841824 Sat, 02 Sep 2017 23:22:54 +0000 Joyce B 1841824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF in that outfit!

If you're having a midlife crisis, then I'm afraid to even ask what I'm going through. Some of my clothes (most especially cool weather ones) are so rate they look like I might have dug them out of the garbage :-D</p> <p>Seriously, you look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-mid-life-crisis-jeans#post-1841788 Sat, 02 Sep 2017 19:33:29 +0000 Anonymous 1841788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous Bijou.

When you face women who are sitting in these jeans it looks kind of like they're wearing shorts and knee socks which can be very eye catching.</p> <p>I'm not sure why that "mid life crisis" term lives on in our minds and language, isn't there a better way to say "old enough to realize that sooner might be better than later"? Isn't maybe a little presumptuous to imagine that we even know when our mid life is?</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-mid-life-crisis-jeans#post-1841748 Sat, 02 Sep 2017 15:00:26 +0000 Bijou 1841748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>ClaraT </b>- well I had resisted distressed jeans until now. I have yet to get on board with boyfriend jeans. So glad that you like my bag. My 8 year old son loves it because it is fun.</p> <p><b>Suz</b> - Yes the bag does steal the show. Glad that the distressed denim looks deliberate, I just really liked the colour and fit of these, which is why I bought them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-mid-life-crisis-jeans#post-1841743 Sat, 02 Sep 2017 14:51:03 +0000 Suz 1841743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That bag is amazing!!&nbsp;</p> <p>Your polished accessories and tops/ topper make distressed denim seem deliberate and fun.&nbsp; </p>
