It kind of gives me "poochy crotch"! It doesn't seem that obvious IRL but sure shows up in the pictures.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have decided this early into the season that this cranberry coat is my Purchase of Winter 2013. It is warm, comfortable, soft, love the color and adore the fit. So glad I bought it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spreading-the-love#post-1094429 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 14:03:09 +0000 Anonymous 1094429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this! The clean silhouette is lovely and the little punches of red when not wearing your coat are fab. Then the coat adds more red and winter cheer.

The jeans look okay to me but the whiskers sort of call attention to themselves, which may or may not be what you want. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spreading-the-love#post-1094383 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 13:03:52 +0000 donnat 1094383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice.

I love the entire outfit actually. And congratulations about shrinking out of the L and M - hats off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spreading-the-love#post-1094359 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 12:29:58 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1094359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nine times out of ten these days, when I wear jeans, I reach for my TR Cameron's. I'm so in love with those jeans it's crazy! But today I decided to spread the love a little and grab an old pair.&nbsp;</p> <p>A year or so ago, Angie had done an outfit spread with Canyon River Blues slouchy skinnies from Sears. I fell for those jeans and promptly bought them in three sizes since I didn't really know which ones would fit. The smaller pair didn't do up,&nbsp;middle pair was a snugger fit and fit like regular jeans and the larger pair slouched nicely and were the ones I wore for a bit. Then I shrunk a little and moved down to the middle pair. I had never returned any of them since the price was so reasonable and the shipping cheap. Well the middle and larger size are gone now since they ended up being much too big and today I'm wearing the smallest of the sizes (whoo hoo!) I'm not entirely sure the whiskering at the front is the most flattering but I don't mind - I really like the jeans and with the flat pockets (unlike the Cameron's), they give a bit of a sleeker slim BF silhouette. Plus I like the more indigo colour for a change.</p> <p>I've paired the jeans with a colour block winter white and black knit that I bought in August waiting for the cold weather. It is a lovely weight with decent slouch so have semi-tucked and added a red leather belt. To bookend the belt, I'm wearing my red booties (back in a heel - yay!). I've added my black leather handbag, black/white oversized watch and silver wedding band.</p> <p>When I head out the door, I'll be wearing my fauxberry scarf (look MaryK - I have one too!) and cranberry coat.&nbsp;</p> <p>What do you think? Are these jeans working? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Sweater: Cleo Petite<br />Jeans: Canyon River Blues<br />Belt and handbag: Danier Leather<br />Boots: Sam Edelman<br />Coat: Anne Klein<br />Scarf: thrifted </p>
