I don’t see many people wearing belts either. But definitely in the 90s we did so maybe we can bring it back (I remember a lot of black leather belts with western-inspired silver points on the end). I don’t really like the constricting feeling of belts though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-high-rise-reprise-mom-jeans#post-1920062 Thu, 17 May 2018 04:39:02 +0000 Jessikams 1920062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I too worry about my new jeans, that they will stretch over the day and end up on my hips. Do you think it’s ok to wear a belt with this kind of jean? I don’t see anybody else wearing belts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-high-rise-reprise-mom-jeans#post-1920046 Thu, 17 May 2018 02:53:33 +0000 Jaime 1920046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first pair look smashing on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-high-rise-reprise-mom-jeans#post-1920005 Wed, 16 May 2018 23:23:47 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1920005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the color of the Agolde jeans a lot -- the fit looks good there and in the other pair you show, but it's a hard balance to find a pair that both doesn't slide down and doesn't pinch at the waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-high-rise-reprise-mom-jeans#post-1919996 Wed, 16 May 2018 22:44:57 +0000 Anonymous 1919996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Angie. You are doing this look really well - not too retro and childish looking . &nbsp;Love it. &nbsp;And the height of your ceilings!! Wow - what &nbsp;great apartment/house too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-high-rise-reprise-mom-jeans#post-1919991 Wed, 16 May 2018 22:33:17 +0000 Greyscale 1919991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no, the photos got added in the wrong order! Oops! To clarify: Photos 1 &amp; 2 are the Agolde jeans, with and without duster. Photo 3 is the Levi's. I haven't had a chance to photograph the new Re/done jeans yet.</p> <p>Sorry, I've been posting from my phone because my laptop was in the shop but it's back now, and working. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-high-rise-reprise-mom-jeans#post-1919989 Wed, 16 May 2018 22:00:36 +0000 Aida 1919989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad both pairs bag out, they start out looking super. I especially like the long duster vest outfit. Fingers crossed on the new pairs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-high-rise-reprise-mom-jeans#post-1919980 Wed, 16 May 2018 21:32:09 +0000 Angie 1919980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You OWN this look.

Agree with Denise that in the photo, the cut looks excellent for you. I hope you find the perfect pair.

I have tucked a bit. Cool shoes are definitely the key!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-high-rise-reprise-mom-jeans#post-1919969 Wed, 16 May 2018 20:55:09 +0000 Anonymous 1919969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I almost never like sleeveless cardigans or dusters but outfit 2 looks amazing on you &amp; I actually really like the cardigan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-high-rise-reprise-mom-jeans#post-1919962 Wed, 16 May 2018 20:42:04 +0000 CocoLion 1919962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm trying to match the pictures with the descriptions and am a little confused. &nbsp;Are 1 and 2 the same jeans? &nbsp;</p> <p>I'm not sure if the third picture is of the jeans that stretch out but whatever the case they look amazing on you. &nbsp;They look a bit shorter in the rise than pictures 1 and 2 and that rise suits you beautifully. &nbsp;I also like the leg shape and length for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-high-rise-reprise-mom-jeans#post-1919953 Wed, 16 May 2018 19:35:15 +0000 Thistle 1919953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You rock those jeans!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vintage-high-rise-reprise-mom-jeans#post-1919948 Wed, 16 May 2018 19:19:59 +0000 Greyscale 1919948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last week I posted about my quest for high rise, 80s/90s style jeans. I enjoy the look but it’s been hard to find the right ones, especially because my waist is really high and my tummy is sensitive to pressure. </p> <p>As I said on my cowboy boots post, I’ve also found it hard to build outfits around these that aren’t boring. Shoes are one key. I’ve found some great cropped tees but they can look a little plain. Cropped or tucked oxford shirts are another option that I should explore. </p> <p>Here are two outfits from this week.</p> <p>[Edit to match the order of photos]</p> <p>The first (photos 1 + 2, today's outfit) is Agolde Jamie jeans in a faded grey wash that I love. Again, they look great here but by the end of the day they’re stretched out - I broke my cotton rule and they’re 20% lyocell. Worn with a disappointing Everlane box cut tee (fabric is too soft and light), J Crew sleeveless cardigan, and old Allsaints pointed boots that almost fill the role of the cowboy boots I’m craving.</p> <p>The second outfit (photo 3) is the Levi’s wedgie jean, the sample pair I found. This pair is 10% elasterell(?). Better for comfort, but sadly by the end of the day they bag out and sit almost on my hips for a very different look. Worn with a Uniqlo cropped tee in a nice heavy cotton, and J Crew kids’ oxfords.</p> <p>Not photographed yet:</p> <p>Both of these were thrifted and yesterday I hit pay dirt at Crossroads again: a pair of Re/done Originals that fit perfectly and don’t seem likely to stretch. I’ll post pics once I’ve washed them. Re/done started as a high end brand that remakes vintage Levi’s but at some point they realized they could recreate them themselves - vintage Levi’s aren’t a renewable resource! Anyway, at $55 they were a lot for second hand jeans, especially with my growing pile of not quite perfect jeans, but I have high hopes. </p>
