Unfortunately, they're not available any more. If they were, I'd probably just go and buy the next size up. They weren't very expensive to begin with, and Eddie Bauer has a lot of sales. </p> <p>Diane, I've actually thought about dyeing my jeans. I've never dyed anything, though, so I'd hesitate to do it on something I didn't want to lose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-white-1#post-1417693 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 09:49:57 +0000 Anonymous 1417693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*curtsying to the newly crowned queen* ;)</p> <p>I love those jeans on you FC, such a lovely shade and I hear you on the harshness of white. I'm coming to the same conclusion myself for my colouring and I just so happen to have some cream denim fabric&nbsp;in my stash Hmm I wonder if you could dye your white ones? I love the diagonal plaid top that you made and the colours all play so nicely together with the fab long cardi. YLF!</p> <p>PS I have a white blouse that I considered dyeing off-white&nbsp;using teabags... ever tried it?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-white-1#post-1417669 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 06:59:26 +0000 Sharon 1417669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I've always wanted to be invited to a coronation! More love for the long cardigan and I very much like the way the white in the top picks up the colour of the pants. They don't look too tight in the photo, but I know how it feels to be not quite comfortable. Do you think they just need a little more wearing in, or is it the size is wrong? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-white-1#post-1417654 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 04:52:00 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1417654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, yay! A crown! <br />Thanks for all the kind comments on the long cardigan, the pattern-mixing, and the outfit! <br />Angie, yes to putty jeans! If I come across a pair in the right fit, that will be an easy decision. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-white-1#post-1417616 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 03:30:46 +0000 Jaime 1417616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first reaction was to admire how well you wear long cardigans - I fully support Angie's plans to crown you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-white-1#post-1417602 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 02:40:52 +0000 Angie 1417602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another great look. Do I see putty jeans in your future? A festive New Year's pattern mix too.&nbsp;</p> <p>p.s.&nbsp;I may need to crown you Queen Maxi Cardigan.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-white-1#post-1417563 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 00:36:07 +0000 Anonymous 1417563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another wonderful outfit.&nbsp; I love the dots with the plaid and your stone jeans.&nbsp; My favorite white pants are the ivory jeans that were an Angie pick last year.&nbsp; They are a cream color rather than optic white and go well with off-white booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-white-1#post-1417560 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 00:27:07 +0000 Dimity 1417560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always love your outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-white-1#post-1417528 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 22:56:26 +0000 Suz 1417528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is great! I hear you on the sizing of the putty pants; it's often that way with lighter shades for some reason. I don't know why. But honestly, they look good in the photo, and this is a lovely relaxed outfit for a day at home.&nbsp;</p> <p>I will sometimes wear my optic white jeans in winter, but more often I reach for my cream or off-white jeans. Partly because the fabric is a bit softer/ cozier but also because the colour doesn't strike me as quite as intense.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-white-1#post-1417524 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 22:45:30 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1417524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, UmmLila, just put on your gray suede booties and snap a pic! Or do you have metallic ones? Meanwhile, hope your white ones turn up soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-white-1#post-1417523 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 22:42:44 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1417523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do so well with the long cardigans! I also like the dots x the plaid. I did white out today but have misplaced my white booties so am not memorializing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-white-1#post-1417509 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 21:24:31 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1417509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was awed and inspired by <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2015/01/01/cropped-high-waisted-winter-white-out/" rel="nofollow">Angie's outfit post</a> today. I commented that I had been thinking about wearing my white jeans and might just put them on today. Then I decided to go with putty corduroys instead. In truth, I'm not all that happy with these cords; they are the same style and size as my wine corduroys, which I really like a lot, and yet these have never quite fit the same. I'm thinking I'd like to get a size up, because I always want to cover my backside when I'm wearing this pair. They just feel and look a little more snug. </p> <p>I do like the color! This is <i>my</i> white--feels totally comfortable, whereas I have to try hard to wear true white, especially in the cooler months. I've gotten more at ease with wearing white jeans in summer, but I wish my Kut from the Kloth boyfriends were just a little more muted shade of white. I know there are others out there who like their whites a little less bright. </p> <p>The outfit (worn for New Year's Day at home): stone skinny corduroys (Eddie Bauer); red, black, gray, and ivory plaid long-sleeved t-shirt (made by me); dark and light gray polka-dot infinity scarf (gift of DH); long gray cardigan (Halogen); gray/silver skinny belt; gray moto boots (Frye, Lynn). </p> <p>Thanks for looking! Your thoughts and suggestions are always welcome. </p>
