Things I Love & Things I Don’t

by Kristina on March 17, 2010

Things I Love

Joe's Jeans

JOE'S JEANS: wrap these jeans up and send them to me. k thx bye

HUDSON JEANS: I love the dark color, slight fade, and fit

HERVE LEGER: Too gorgeous for words.

Dallin Chase Yuma Leather Jacket

DALLIN CHASE: I love the color, the motorcycle cut, and the sleeve length!

Personally I think this is edgy, cool, and it's only $172.

Things I Don’t Love


WTF? The designer calls this a ROMPER. I thought it was underwear. I was mistaken.

Please. Ladies. Let's be ladies. We do not have genitals that require such bagginess. It's the least sexy thing I think pretty much any woman can wear.

So, I do this anyway on accident to well-loved jeans. Why cut that lifespan in half for $200? I love you, Sevens, but no. NO.

This one is a triple-offender: there are pleats, it's satin pants, and it's baggy in the crotch. Every fiber of my being is against this pant.

Some of the brands mentioned include American Retro, 7 for all Mankind, Dallin Chase, Hudson, Joe’s Jeans.

What do you think of my loves/hates? Totally agree? Totally DISagree? Leave a comment — it’s the equivalent of tipping your waitress. Except I’d put Louboutins on your plate.

Love, Kristina

We love the same things. And I’m pretty sure I have that exact pair of Hudson’s. They aren’t my favorite jeans but they’re pretty damn good.

We also hate the same thing. Romper… no one should wear that in public. Those pants… I don’t know about you but I don’t wanna look like I’m wearing a full diaper.

As an avid Sevens Jean Lover those are beyond words for that price, I HATE jeans that have already made holes or look worn… & everything else in your hate list well they are hideous.

& I am in love with the Hudson Jeans so I might have to go get me a pair.

I find that I often hate the ‘hates’ because I can’t wear them. If I had her bod? I’d wear that ‘Romper’ and those combat boots to pre-school pick up. I might even swing by Trader Joe’s on the way home.

Yeah, I don’t like camel toe myself, but I don’t like elephant sacks either. Those are sweatpants. And the makers had too much fabric left over and were too lazy to alter it.

I agree with all of your loves except for the $172 dress. Looks very… homemade. I don’t know if its sheer and the white shirt underneath is seperate or they come together, but a dark gray would work better. & To pair it with the oxfords totally doesn’t work for me.

I am so with you on the things you don’t like. You could so fit a baby in the giant drop crotch pants!

I LOVE that motorcycle jacket. Seriously. I want it. Please! :) I agree, all of those hates are HORRIBLE.

Hmm cannot agree with your hates. The dropped crotch look is very stylish when done correctly. You don't have to wear tight pants to be sexy, nor is it just about the classic trouser To the sweat pants: I think the fabric used is too thin and too tight around the legs.

The satin pants though, pleats accentuate the hips, provide a slimmer upper body, and just imagine someone watching you walk with fabric just touching your skin. Alter the satin pants a bit higher so there is less slouch around the ankle and I'm in. Or wear them OTK or Thigh-High boots and I'm also in.
