Ask Angie - and everyone - my BFs?????

OK - I finally got around to taking pics of the Boyfriend jeans that I bought and returned TWICE - and still ended up bringing them home again - and am still wondering if I chose the right size. I can pull (both this size and the next size down) completely down to my ankles without unfastening the belt, snap or zipper - but I don't think that that is all that significant in my case, because I really don't have a waist, and barely have a bum, and my hips are narrow. There are 6 pics below: 1, 2, and 3 are with them unrolled. 4, 5, and 6 are with them rolled - but I don't know how high I should roll them - what's the most flattering length? I would NOT wear this t-shirt with them - and I promise that (after seeing the back-view pics) that I will NEVER stand with my hands on my hips like that again! OMG!

So, keep - or return and go one size smaller? (No clue why I cut my head off in that first pic!)

Thank you for your help!

Good grief. I can barely focus on the BFs because of your shoes. I want those KILLER shoes!!

Marley, these are *super* edgy in the larger size, especially with your boyish hips. A size down will be a tad more trendy and less edgy. Either are a GREAT look. It's up to you.

I roll mine a little shorter, and they are too short to wear unrolled unfortunately. But yours look great at this length with those shoes.

Does that help?

Marley, I think this is one of those things that is so subjective. Each person has their own bagginess threshold, and I know many people here on YLF have a much higher bagginess tolerance than I do. To my eye, I would like to see them a size smaller -- you are so petite and slim, I think these kind of dwarf you. But this is *my* bias, because honestly I can't even think of wearing them that big. I'm betting others here will like this size, but I wanted to give my honest opinion.

LOL at Angie's response. That was EXACTLY what I was thinking, Angie! The SHOES!!!

I love them, Marley. Just roll them a bit higher. My personal eye needs some time to adjust to the unrolled full length look of the BF's on myself or anyone. You have warm temps for a while so can wear them rolled and they look super that way!

Me three - "the shoes, the shoes the shoes - was all I could focus on
Now back to the BFs - have to agree with Janet - I too would like to see them 1 size smaller - .

I love these on you. Super cool! I love the wash too. Is this the citrine? Gah, I want to look like you in my BF's FAB!

I really like them Marley. They look edgy -- and it looks like you chose them intentionally, not that you are wearing ill-fitting jeans.

As everyone knows by now, I have these in three sizes. I love the super-edgy look of the baggiest size but I know that's more of a trend and will not last. The two smaller sizes I have are to wear long after the BF trend has gone away, because I will be wearing these until they disintegrate. So if you want them as a forever item, I'd go down a size. If you want to be the coolest chick on the block (like you aren't ALREADY?), I'd keep this size.
