I just get frustrated about pants in particular. It's so hard to find a good fit. I do like the ones from Express, so I just need to go buy some new ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-why-the-rear-view-matters#post-708016 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 04:37:01 +0000 rae 708016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, congrats on the weight loss, but I wish they had chosen a nicer way to tell you! FWIW, since the baggy trend is in right now, and since I think even Angie prefers a slightly looser pant when tucking, I don't think you look like "a mess" as you said. Maybe not perfect for your new size, but it's nothing to get down on yourself over. *hugs* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-why-the-rear-view-matters#post-708015 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 04:35:52 +0000 jayne 708015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i have a pair like that, too big from weight loss and my bottom disappears...but I keep them as my slouchy look slacks. then i feel it s intentional, bottom surrender </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-why-the-rear-view-matters#post-707983 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 03:17:56 +0000 KathyL 707983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought I would "get by" with these pants. I guess I should have titled this why the front and rear view matters. Lol. Shevia, these pants are not salvageable by a tailor ... way too saggy in the back. Good grief, I probably looked like a mess to my patients. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-why-the-rear-view-matters#post-707955 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 02:46:59 +0000 Anonymous 707955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe your self-image hasn't caught up with your current reality -- the pants are big from the front. The blouse looks really nice. Time for new pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-why-the-rear-view-matters#post-707934 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 02:35:07 +0000 sarah 707934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I'm sure it's hard to keep up your wardrobe with your weight loss! I do think they look pretty loose from the front. Guess it's time to shop for your new smaller size! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-why-the-rear-view-matters#post-707910 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 02:12:39 +0000 Jenava 707910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Poor thing! Well, congrats on the weight loss, anyway! I agree with shevia they are pretty loose looking from the front, too...time to go shopping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-why-the-rear-view-matters#post-707906 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 02:07:37 +0000 Jaime 707906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like this very much, but, to be honest, the pants are also too big from the front! Size down or tailor though because they look great otherwise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-why-the-rear-view-matters#post-707898 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 02:04:11 +0000 KathyL 707898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought this was a good FFB outfit. Silk JJill shirt, pants, belt. Easy, cheesy. Although I knew the pants were a bit big, I felt pretty good in it and thought it looked okay with the belt. Fast forward to the afternoon when the nurses in my office made fun of me for my "grandpa" pants. They were trying to compliment me on my weight loss and told me I had to get pants that fit in the back. The front view looked fine, but from the back .... oh my!! Saggy and sad. I looked in the mirror and thought, good grief, this is how I looked *all* day!! It really brought me down. The pants immediately went in the purge pile much like <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-similar-outfits-but-two-different-emotions">these</a>. </p> <p>Well, lesson learned, I guess. The rear view does matter!! </p>
