What do you think? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-much-joie#post-886656 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 17:54:09 +0000 catgirl 886656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, that would be my guess&nbsp;- although F21 runs small.&nbsp; I'm usually a M in their sizing. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-much-joie#post-886654 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 17:52:45 +0000 Vicki 886654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Una, I'd love that! &nbsp;Will PM you. Think I'm an XS.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-much-joie#post-886647 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 17:48:58 +0000 catgirl 886647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Vicki, I have to go by F21 today to return stuff for my niece.&nbsp; Do you want me to check these out for you?&nbsp; My guess is you are one&nbsp; size down from me.&nbsp; I can take my measuring tape if you'd like.&nbsp;&nbsp;Alaska stuff is marked up a few dollars.&nbsp; PM your number if you want me to text pics or info to you. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-much-joie#post-886520 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 14:55:37 +0000 Vicki 886520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ah, now I am feeling happy after hearing from all of you! &nbsp;Yes, Firecracker, I think it does have something to do with the color of the material. &nbsp;I really did want to get outside my solids, for a change, and try something different. &nbsp;But, you're right. &nbsp;This false plain of&nbsp;color does nothing for me.<br /><br />Una and Zap, you two wunderkinds! &nbsp;Thank you for these links and when I get back from San Diego today, I'll do some serious investigating. &nbsp;Yay! &nbsp;Una, these are size 0 (from Amazon) and they did have a 2 and 4, because I just returned them! &nbsp;:)<br /><br />Rae, GP, DV and Ingunn, thank you for making this all worth it with your soothing feedback. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-much-joie#post-886421 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 11:42:14 +0000 Anonymous 886421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ i guess I am the only one liking the size in picture 5, but I am not too good with this type of pant.&nbsp;Off they need to go. You are too fab already. Wishing you the best of luck on the next pair. Did you try the Eileen Fisher ones? I&nbsp;finally broke down and got me a pair, and ended up returning the Leighs.<br /><br /><span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/eileen-fisher-ankle-pants-with-cuffs?ID=686421&amp;CategoryID=10205#fn=WOMENS_APPAREL_TYPE%3DPants%20&amp;%20Leggings%26spp%3D6%26ppp%3D96%26sp%3D1%26rid%3D53">http://www1.bloomingdales.com/.....CategoryID</a><br /></span><br />You definitely need the extra small. These are all sold out by now in the small and extra small. Bloomies&nbsp;is the only one with inventory left. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-much-joie#post-886374 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 07:22:11 +0000 Ingunn 886374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think you made the right decision. They look fine in side view, but I agree with DV that they do weird things with your thighs. I'm crossing my finger for better luck in the future. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-much-joie#post-886373 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 07:18:26 +0000 Day Vies 886373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well, experience is what you get when you don't get what you want. The good thing is you tried and now you know that these do not work for you. I like the scrunch at the ankle and the profile but these trousers&nbsp;do weird things to your thighs. I am going to blame the light weight of the fabric because&nbsp;the drape is completely off. Good luck at square 1. I know you will find the perfect pair!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-much-joie#post-886346 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 05:48:56 +0000 catgirl 886346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Vicki, try the ones at Forever 21 if you can find them!&nbsp; Seriously, they were dead ringers for the Leiths, except no ankle zips, but pocket zips instead.&nbsp; Really no difference in quality and the F21s were actually a little weightier fabric so not as static-clingy.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?BR=f21&amp;Category=bottom_pants&amp;ProductID=2021839387&amp;VariantID" rel="nofollow">http://www.forever21.com/Produ.....&#038;Vari</a>= https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-much-joie#post-886345 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 05:47:26 +0000 catgirl 886345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well, we didn't really tussle - we calmly agreed...&nbsp;&nbsp; YLFers would never tussle over an item, right?&nbsp; At least with each other! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-much-joie#post-886342 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 05:38:54 +0000 rae 886342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Una, we tussled over the size 4. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-much-joie#post-886333 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 05:22:40 +0000 catgirl 886333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hey what size do you have?&nbsp; I may take them off your hands.&nbsp; i'm kind of regretting that I didn't get a pair, even though we all agreed&nbsp;they looked best on Rae.&nbsp; Can't remember what size we were tussling over at Shoptoberfest.<br /><br />You are hilarious! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-much-joie#post-886331 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 05:18:37 +0000 goldenpig 886331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm sorry the pants didn't work out, but I just wanted to say that your expression in 2 really made me smile! YLF as usual! And I have no doubt you'll be able to track down a pair of perfect track pants soon! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-much-joie#post-886327 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 05:12:52 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 886327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don't think they look awful, fit-wise. They slouch, but they don't look sloppy; they're drapey and tapered and soft looking. I think the color isn't that great on you. I wonder if that's a big factor in why you're not liking them. I love Rae's take: your curiosity about them is satisfied, anyway. I think you may find a pair you like, in color that is more you. I've tried on styles of pants that I only liked on me in&nbsp; darker colors; just a thought.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-much-joie#post-886320 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 04:45:42 +0000 rae 886320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ How interesting! I'm so sorry they didn't work for you, Vicki. I'm a little perplexed since we had them on an IT and two curvy hourglasses at Shoptoberfest, and we all liked them. At least now you don't have to wonder about them. :T https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-much-joie#post-886299 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 04:02:09 +0000 Vicki 886299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ After reading Dianthus's post on dropped crotch pants and my own desire to find some silky slouchy pants, I'm posting my disaster with Joie Alessandra pants that I adore on Rae, but didn't work at all on me or my body. &nbsp;First, I tried a 4, then a 2 and then a 0. &nbsp;Still looked awful and there was nowhere to go size wise and I realized I just needed to start over. &nbsp;Please forgive my appearance as I was not at the top of my game energy or style-wise. &nbsp;:)<br /><br />They are packed and ready to go back on Monday. &nbsp;Too bad, so sad. &nbsp;I can't find the Leith woven track pants and these silk ones don't work. &nbsp;I'll be slouching around looking for just the right slouch! &nbsp;^_^
