Need a quick vote on these jeans!

I ran out last night and grabbed these up so I could get the 40% off price. I want a pair of slouchy skinnies and a pair of cream/ivory jeans - does slouchy skinny and cream/ivory work together?
Pics are with and without belt. Length is not an issue for me - I'll tuck into boots.
I'm headed home from work in a little bit - and will be driving past a mall, so I could return these if they're not working!
Thank you for your help!

IMO these are doing nothing for your cute butt. You can do better.

I love the color, pattern and style, and you know my tolerance for baggy is lower than most around here, but I gotta agree with IK.

Agree with tummy comments and that your bottom could look more flattering in a smaller fit.

Sorry to say this but.....white baggy = diaper bottom. I think for the BF fit you should stick with blue jeans.

But there is the thing....Marley WANTS a slouchy look, right?

Hmmm. This has sort of been my problem when I do the "size up" thing.

But you know...I might be an outlier...I don't really mind baggy bum. If it looks intentional. A lot might depend on the rest of the outfit.

That is a super cool belt, Marley! (Great abs, too!)

I don't think they're intentional enough.

I had to come take another look, and I think what I'm seeing is not baggy or slouchy so much as bunchy -- at least in the side and rear view. Almost like the fabric is too stiff.

I love them and want a pair too. I don't mind the back view at all. FWIW, my thumbs are up!

The back bothers me too - too much fabric round the thighs!

See that's the thing with slouchy trousers - you have to be willing to forgo a fab rear view. Once you let that go, it's all good.

I love these on you Marley and they look great with that beautiful belt. And yeah....I'm envious of your pretty flat tummy!

I have to agree with IK. You have an awesome figure and these jeans are doing nothing for it. But...(no pun intended)...I'd love to see them styled with some tops. That could make all the difference.

I don't mind the back view at all, I still think they are flattering on you.

But it really depends on the style you are going for.

If you want these to be white jeans tucked into tall boots, just a little loose, that could work with these pair. But if you want an edgy baggy style, they might need to be baggier or cut differently, because I'm seeing what Anna's seeing -- not quite intentional enough for this look.

Details! Where did you get these? Is there a subtle pattern on them? I'd be pretty happy with front and side views--enough to forgo a flattering rear view. I'm pretty sure some of my jeans look this way from the back. I just can't see it!

I'm with Denise here. I actually thought the back view showed slouch without obscuring your shape entirely --- and that's usually pretty hard to get!

I like this, unless (again, as Denise and Anna both say) you were after a very fashion-forward exaggerated slouch with dropped crotch, baggy thighs and all. Guessing you're not, though, as you'd hardly have chosen straight legs and normal rise then!

Certainly not seeing diaper butt, though --- those (at least the ones I've seen) are fluffier

Thank you for all of your feedback! These are from the Express - the Stella skinny leggings. My normal size in these would be a 2 for me - and they really fit like serious skinnies! The ones pictured are a size 6 - the 4's looked as though they couldn't make up their mind as to whether they were leggings or slouchy skinnies. The 8's kind of frightened me - they were soooooo baggy - but not BF jeans baggy. I'm trying to go for a slouchy skinny look - not BF baggy. So . . . I didn't return them on my way home today - maybe tomorrow? I'm still undecided!
