I hope this was helpful for those of you who are considering trying these as well. The belt in #1 is one of the new ones - it's a braided tan leather, which seems to go well with the boyfriend vibe. The other belt I bought is a lighter tan, with studs. </p> <p>PS - I think these are the jeans I bought, although they were WAY cheaper in the store. There is extra 30% off sale until tomorrow as well.</p> <p><a href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?searchCID=25781&#038;vid=3&#038;pid=288114&#038;scid=288114002" rel="nofollow">http://www.gap.com/browse/prod.....=288114002</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-some-boyfriend-thoughts#post-673361 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 03:09:42 +0000 ManidipaM 673361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations --- not the easiest look to nail, and you got it right in one!

Stunning! That's two great looks she's pulled off today, and she's not even French! (We kid ourselves WE have the onus on chic; Diana's destroying THAT myth. Good for her, puts us firmly in place, huh??) LOL! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-some-boyfriend-thoughts#post-673276 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 00:34:26 +0000 Amy 673276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dang. Those look GOOD on you! Wow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-some-boyfriend-thoughts#post-673258 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 23:57:55 +0000 Anonymous 673258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, you're right! They do have a super-slimming effect. The "pants falling off" look is what does it, as opposed to a tight BF fit. Wow. Cool! I love the ones you're keeping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-some-boyfriend-thoughts#post-673255 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 23:53:09 +0000 Mo 673255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your choice! I think my slouch comfort zone is about the same as yours, not too much. Thanks for sharing the other options for reference, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-some-boyfriend-thoughts#post-673250 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 23:47:02 +0000 rae 673250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look *great* on you, Diana! I like both of the washes, actually. You are Queen Slouchy Pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-some-boyfriend-thoughts#post-673248 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 23:41:45 +0000 fern 673248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you - this is super helpful to me!<br /> Your new jeans do look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-some-boyfriend-thoughts#post-673246 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 23:40:20 +0000 Jjsloane 673246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE them. Good for you - they do not look sloppy and you've found YOUR slouchy comfort zone. (I see minimal difference in the 3 sizes, but I know they FEEL different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-some-boyfriend-thoughts#post-673243 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 23:37:46 +0000 Anonymous 673243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Makes perfect sense! The jeans are a GREAT fit in photos 1 and 2! You're right though, they do look a bit more 'slouchy' in #3. You've really done well. Just love them, especially with the tan leather belt, and I really covet the sandals!! You know what? It's really helpful to see the photos you took of the other pair in the fitting room, but I'm really happy you bought the ones you did. They flatter your shape far more: they're incredibly slimming! And what a fab. bargain. We can only dream of getting jeans at that price over here, sale or no sale! Thanks for sharing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-some-boyfriend-thoughts#post-673241 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 23:35:07 +0000 Diana 673241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I stopped by Gap this evening to look at Large size belts (successfully - I got two on super sale!) and so of course I had to take the opportunity to try some boyfriends on for size. These dark wash plain-pocket ones (photos 1&amp;2) were on sale so they came home with me. These are a 30, which is the larger of my two regular sizes so let's say they are ~1/2 size larger than normal. Because they were on sale I could not find either a 29 or a 31 to try on. I think these fit like skinny BFs on me, which is fine - the crotch is droopy in the front but not the back, which is what I prefer anyway. For some reason they look more fitted in these photos than they actually are, probably because of the dark color. They feel like they will stretch a lot. Not a K/R since they were final sale but they were also only 17.50 so I am keeping nonetheless. Photo #3 is the fitting room photo which shows their slouchiness a little better.</p> <p>I also tried on the 100% cotton flap pocket ones. Because of the fabrication, they feel a little tighter and stiffer. I also thought the rise on these was too high, definitely higher than the stretch ones. I'm showing these bad photos from the fitting room because I remember someone said they wanted to see these jeans on a pear. Photo 4 is the 30, and photo 5 is the 31. </p> <p>So, for those of you who were wondering about the SBF and pear shapes. I am *very* pear shaped, with high, wide hips and big thighs. I also have a substantial booty. None of the sizes I tried on gave me a "diaper butt". I have too much booty for butt saggage, to be honest, in any size. The dark wash pair I purchased also makes my hips look way narrower than normal. Partly because they are dark, to be sure, but also because the low rise, hip-slung look is paradoxically very slimming since it makes it look like they are falling off, if that makes any sense. </p>
