I have found it very helpful in judging whether an outfit or item of clothing is flattering or unflattering (or, in my case, just how unflattering it is!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-jeans-decision-time#post-8595 Sun, 25 May 2008 14:41:40 +0000 shiny 8595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, and I may still order those J Brands, because as i was cleaning yesterday, I found the notes from my last white jean excursion, that listed the two brands &#38; styles I liked but weren't in my size. One was Jbrand, style 818. </p> <p>I'm going to take the weekend to think about it... and may hit the NJC to see if they have a new shipment in. </p> <p>Weather is nice enough for capris today - YEAH! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-jeans-decision-time#post-8593 Sun, 25 May 2008 14:23:54 +0000 Tanya 8593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny, I'm glad you found a pair that's a keeper. I'm sorry that Joe's didn't work out for you. Good that you know that you like the way Ernest Sewn fits you, you should try them later in darker wash! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-jeans-decision-time#post-8592 Sun, 25 May 2008 14:09:37 +0000 shiny 8592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yesterday, I had DH take photos of me in the various white jeans I ordered online. I was going to post here for everyone's opinion of which to keep, but for some reason I feel weirded out by that idea (probably because I'm using flickr which has no password capability)!!</p> <p>Anyway, the photos were quite helpful for making the final determinations, and I think I am only going to keep the Citizens Ambers. These are the same exact bootcut jeans I already own, except in white. Because of the 8-inch rise, I won't be able to wear them with anything except tops that don't cling at the midsection, but I've already got a pair of dressy white slacks that will work for more form-fitting tops. </p> <p>The Joe's are nice (and very comfy) with a perfect rise, but looking at the photos they do NOTHING for my butt... my analysis: the pockets are too large, have detailing on them, and there is too much distance between the pockets, which makes my butt look much wider than it is. </p> <p>As for the Ernest Sewn jeans, I think they are going back too. They actually make my rear view look pretty darn good... better than any jeans ever. So it is tempting to keep them, but I just don't like the wash - it's the kind with strategic fading, and I don't care for that at all. However I will definetly be checking out other washes and styles in this brand. It may turn out to be my "Holy Grail of Jeans." </p>
