WIW - temporary jeans

I am planning to try out the most excellent jeans posted by Shannon but want to wait until I lose a bit of the fluff I have gained back recently. As a stopgap measure, I picked up these jeans last night. I am starting to like the boot cut again after adopting the skinny as my preferred jean for the last year or more.

My backside is naturally flat so I can't blame the jeans for it but these are not as bad as many I have tried on.

What do you think? Good enough to leave the house?

P.S. It really is hard to take a pic from behind. I always feel like I am leaning forward and unnatural.

Welcome to the flat butt brigade! I think these are great temps. I like the pocket placement.

Wow!!! I've been pretty absent from YLF for the last few months and so I'm only just seeing your new hair. You look great - short hair seriously suits you!!

Oh - and the jeans are cute too! lol - definitely 'leave the house'able.

I think these look really good Dianthus. And I'm on the same wavelength as you - I'm kind of done with skinny jeans. They are not the most flattering silhouette for me and for the most part, I find them uncomfortable. I find straight leg or bootcut give me a longer, leaner silhouette as they help to balance out my mid section.

Are those the length they came in? Talk about PPL! You look fantastic BTW!

These look great and you look trim Dianthus:). Love those shoes with the jeans.

Kelly, I was doing squats with 75 lbs and deadlifts with 125 lbs three times a week for months and may have added half an inch of protrusion. *Sigh* At least I am not alone.

Girl X, thank you very much. I am a short hair gal at heart so am glad to be back to it.

Shannon, I don't usually have to hem pants so yes, this is how they came and I am wearing my sperry boat shoes. I went to winners this morning but didn't see the DV booties. *sniff* Too bad I didn't come to the boot cut conclusion before I ordered the Kut Diana in deep purple. I think they will be good for tucking in boots in the winter though.

Thanks Deborah and JR. Jeans are tough and I appreciate the feedback.

I really like the fit - no need for them to be temporary imo.

They look really good on you. I like the mid tone colour a lot too.

Dianthus - I could look in my Winner's for the DV Jousts if you would like? Just let me know. They had about 5-6 pairs left in varying sizes - if I remember correctly there was a 6, 6.5, 8, 8.5 and a 9.

Dianthus, you look great! I applaud your, healthy, positive attitude. I too am working on having a little less "fluff". I've always liked bootcut jeans & wider leg pants in general because, to my eye, they balance out my hips. And although this wouldn't work for those going for a more urban look, for my more rural, casual style, I like bootcuts & other Westernwear touches, but I don't want to overdo it. I've had a few pairs of skinny jeans over the years, but mostly wider-leg styles. I might work up the courage to try skinnies again, as I'm seeing that YLF'ers look great in your skinnies! In the meantime, I've been working up my courage to wear belts again. (That's a cute belt, BTW, & I like how you put it together with your top & jeans & how it works well with your shoes.)
