New purchases - Joe's Jeans, etc

Sarah

http://letitrainagain.blogspot.....s-etc.html
I found a pair of Joe's Jeans at TJMaxx and I was wondering what you all think of the fit. Specifically, are they too small?

I obviously need a better top to go with the jeans, but that will happen before too long, hopefully.

I also picked up a pair of Me Too flats and a purple Nine West bag at TJMaxx, and the black trench at Express I've been eyeing.

CRS please! Thank you in advance.

Sarah, the Joe's jeans look like the ones I have. I think they might be a little snug in the thigh but I'd have to see them in person to be sure. They look great with the trench (scores 9) which makes me think that for now they'd work well with longer tops. I love the color of the bag but I can't tell much about the shape from the picture but I'm guessing it's great. The flats look good too.

Of course I love the trench and the flats. I can't wait to see the purse in person--was that one that we saw together? Have you worn the jeans around the house to see if they'll stretch or not?

The jeans look like they fit to me -- but like Ana said, wear them around the house for a few hours and see what you think. I really like the trench, the purse and the flats -- all 9s from me.

I think that they look too tight in the thigh (and I can't tell because the photo is so small, but is there a little...cameltoe?...again, maybe not, it's hard to tell from the photo). However, my experience with Joe's Jeans is that they stretch out a LOT. So you might definitely be wearing the right size. I would wear them around the house for a day to see how much bigger they get--I try to buy them a half size small because they stretch out so much.

Hmmm. I do think they look a little tight, Sarah. Do they feel tight?

LOVE the trench! It has texture. Makes all the difference when it's black.

The jeans look a bit tight, but in my experience Joe's jeans stretch a lot, so wear them around a bit and see how they feel. I love that trench on you! The shoes and the bag are great as well. Great shopping spree!

Sarah, if you are still losing weight, you'll want to hang on to those jeans. A couple of pounds will have them fitting just right. Every pair I've bought that I thought might be too tight, even one with no stretch, have ended up fitting within a month. Leave the tags on and if they don't fit to please you after about 3 weeks, you can return them.

I wore the jeans around the house for a few hours and they stretched a little. I realize I am still losing weight, but it would be nice to wear something now. I will try to wear them around today to see if they stretch further.
I am still used to big, wide-leg jeans, so I don't really know how snug skinnies should fit. And I compared these to my Matchsticks and I have cameltoe and under-bum (back thigh) wrinkle on those, too. And I know those jeans aren't too tight because I have a hard time keeping them up. I guess I'm a little confused. And this is most certainly TMI, but it was that time of month when I took the photos and because of a certain nasty yeast infection I had to use more ancient means for protection. /TMI
I love my Me Too flats. I wore them to a concert last weekend and I had to walk quite a ways. They are tied for comfort with my Asics Gel Nimbus running shoes!
Ana, the bag is actually from TJMaxx, I will take a better photo when I post my monthly "What I Wore" post.
And Angie, I'm glad the trench gets a thumbs up from you. I wanted to avoid black, but I just loved the coat and was hoping the patent and little buckle detail would be enough to make it YLF worthy. I am still eyeing a persimmon wool coat for winter.

PS: Steff, if you want to see a ginormous photo of me, just click on the photo when you're viewing the block and it will enlarge. But don't say I didn't warn you.
