Yesterday, I had DH take photos of me in the various white jeans I ordered online. I was going to post here for everyone's opinion of which to keep, but for some reason I feel weirded out by that idea (probably because I'm using flickr which has no password capability)!!

Anyway, the photos were quite helpful for making the final determinations, and I think I am only going to keep the Citizens Ambers. These are the same exact bootcut jeans I already own, except in white. Because of the 8-inch rise, I won't be able to wear them with anything except tops that don't cling at the midsection, but I've already got a pair of dressy white slacks that will work for more form-fitting tops.

The Joe's are nice (and very comfy) with a perfect rise, but looking at the photos they do NOTHING for my butt... my analysis: the pockets are too large, have detailing on them, and there is too much distance between the pockets, which makes my butt look much wider than it is.

As for the Ernest Sewn jeans, I think they are going back too. They actually make my rear view look pretty darn good... better than any jeans ever. So it is tempting to keep them, but I just don't like the wash - it's the kind with strategic fading, and I don't care for that at all. However I will definetly be checking out other washes and styles in this brand. It may turn out to be my "Holy Grail of Jeans."
