Thanks, everyone! The jeans are on sale right now, 20% off, so I took that as a sign to buy them. I needed a pair to replace some that were getting worn and moving into lounge and yardwork status.
Gretchen- Love the loafer idea. I'm looking for some- tried the Sam Edelman Lior, but those didn't fit, so still looking.
kkards- The striped booties in the roundup caught my eye. And, would work with a lot of the rest of my wardrobe. I like the navy idea, too.
kellygirl- thanks for the boost to buy the jeans! I do really like them!
Angie- thanks for the encouragement; I'm picking up a pair on Monday! The jeans are longer on me than on the model, so I may post again to get suggestions for length.
Suz- definitely try them. Fingers crossed that they're on sale in Canada, too! And leopard, definitely something to look for!
lisa p- I so appreciate your detailed eye. Yes to cropping a bit- would look more like the model, and I can see it would be a better length with booties, while still working fine with sneakers.
Bennett- thanks for the encouragement- seems like many are in agreement to shorten them a bit.
