And what a score to find dark wash ones!! I love the ways you have styled them - you have such an incredible knack for layering! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boyfriend-jeans-then-and-now#post-2087599 Wed, 25 Dec 2019 01:05:01 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2087599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div><b>Suz</b>, thanks! I really do like the shorter cut. I considered going shorter for quite a while, but I was reluctant, after taking so long to grow it out, as you astutely observed. So I first went to a shag, which I really liked, yet after a while I again wanted something shorter. When I finally decided to go much shorter (skipping right past the chin-length bob that I wore for what seemed ages, pre-grow-out), I loved it right away. I don't know if I'll go long again or not. Short hair just seems very much my style. I was so afraid I wouldn't like it short with my aging face, but I am happy to find I like it much better on me than long hair.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>StyleFan</b>, thank you! And no wonder I like your style so much. I also have the Free People cardigan in the brown and black version. I think those colors are better for you than for me, but both versions of the sweater are favorites of mine.<br /></div></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boyfriend-jeans-then-and-now#post-2087576 Tue, 24 Dec 2019 21:40:50 +0000 Style Fan 2087576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am another fan of BF jeans.&nbsp; I have the same Fidelity BF jeans.&nbsp; I also have the Free People animal print cardigan in a different colour. &nbsp;<br />I love all your outfits and jeans.&nbsp; I am favouring the newer slimmer ones as well.&nbsp; Great hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boyfriend-jeans-then-and-now#post-2087575 Tue, 24 Dec 2019 21:17:03 +0000 Suz 2087575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore BF jeans, too. And you look amazing in them at all times, but in the newer slimmer ones in particular. Loving your shorter hair, too. Does it feel like a good change to you? You spent a while growing it out, so wondering at your experience!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boyfriend-jeans-then-and-now#post-2087549 Tue, 24 Dec 2019 18:05:43 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2087549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, thanks, <b>kkards</b>!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boyfriend-jeans-then-and-now#post-2087544 Tue, 24 Dec 2019 18:00:08 +0000 kkards 2087544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i can see why you love BF jeans. they were made for you style, and you look fab in all versions! and love seeing all the different haircuts!&nbsp;<br />(and even though i love them all, i most admit to loving #3 the most!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boyfriend-jeans-then-and-now#post-2087542 Tue, 24 Dec 2019 17:45:23 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2087542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Thanks, <b>Mirjana</b>! I really like the new dark ones, too. Dark boyfriend jeans are hard to find. So many of them are made with the distressed look.<br /></div><div><b>RobinF</b>, I agree the first boyfriend jeans were quite big and baggy. Not really flattering by any measure. I liked them in spite of it--ha!<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boyfriend-jeans-then-and-now#post-2087511 Tue, 24 Dec 2019 13:07:30 +0000 RobinF 2087511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun comparisons! The earlier jeans look so big to me! But you always have great style and I love how you mix in your handmade items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boyfriend-jeans-then-and-now#post-2087487 Tue, 24 Dec 2019 08:31:31 +0000 Mirjana 2087487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great collection. I like boyfriend jeans and the newest are really fantastic, maybe as I like dark blue jeans. My favorites are #3 and #10. Your hair is so cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boyfriend-jeans-then-and-now#post-2087477 Tue, 24 Dec 2019 05:45:22 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2087477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Thanks, everyone!</div><div><b>Shevia</b>, I like the newest boyfriend jeans (AG) the best, too! I like the higher rise on them and the dark wash. I still wear the Citizens of Humanity Emersons in the lighter wash, too, but the rise feels less current to me. <br /></div><div><b>Angie</b>, thank you! Going through the old photos gives quite a review of my hairstyles over these past years. I prefer my new short cut, too. <br /></div><div><b>Bonnie</b>, that outfit was part of my "very me week" series. It is still a very "me" outfit, though I've been liking my shorter sweaters more lately. That t-shirt is still a favorite, though. Hope it doesn't wear out before I tire of it.<br /></div></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boyfriend-jeans-then-and-now#post-2087465 Tue, 24 Dec 2019 02:59:27 +0000 Anonymous 2087465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your style gets better and better as the years went on Love the studded belt and boyfriend jeans in photo 3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boyfriend-jeans-then-and-now#post-2087451 Tue, 24 Dec 2019 02:12:20 +0000 Jaime 2087451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boyfriend jeans have really stood the test of time for you (and for me). I like the subtle update in your newer jeans. The newest are my favorite but is that just because they look current now? Probably. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boyfriend-jeans-then-and-now#post-2087448 Tue, 24 Dec 2019 02:06:29 +0000 Helena 2087448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous!

I loved the idea of them then, and I love them now. I searched high and low for just the right style for me. My first love was a pair by Fidelity. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>2013</b> (photos 1-2): The Fidelity boyfriend jeans, with a black, gray, and cream blurry-starry print long-sleeved tee (made by me), a gray quilted leather peplum jacket (Halogen), black shimmer-suede oxfords (Naya), and a studded statement-buckle jeans belt (Bed Stu). [the jacket in photo 2 is different, but I wanted you to see the back of the jeans.]<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>&amp; <b>2019</b> (photo 3): <u>Same tee</u> as above, with new favorite boyfriend jeans, a slimmer style with slightly higher rise (Citizens of Humanity, Emerson), fuzzy animal print cardigan in cream and gray (Free People), a newer favorite studded jeans belt (Suzi Roher), and black Chelsea boots (Dune London). <br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>2014</b> (photos 4-5): Fidelity boyfriend jeans, ivory long sleeved tee (Caslon), metallic linen asymmetrical vest (made by me), taupe belt, belted ballet flats (AGL). <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>&amp; <b>2017</b> (photos 6-7): Citizens of Humanity boyfriend jeans, teal long sleeved tee (Caslon), ivory boiled-wool vest (made by me), brown lace-up booties (Jo Ghost). <u>Vest is from the same pattern</u> as the one above. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>2014</b> (photos 8-9): Slim dark boyfriend jeans (KUT, Catherine--a YLF favorite!), with a long sleeved tee (Caslon) and print boiled-wool cap-sleeve top (made by me), metallic high-top sneakers (Paul Green).</div><div><br /></div><div>&amp; <b>2019</b> (photos 10-11): Slim higher-rise dark boyfriend jeans (AG), with pattern-striped cotton cap-sleeve top (made by me), metallic snake-print sling-back booties (Gentle Souls). <u>Top made from the same pattern</u> as the one above. <br /></div><div><br /></div>This was a fun idea--thanks, Carla!
