Huge shopping spree - part 3 - YouLookFab Forum

This is the final installment . Thank you for your patience

1. Express top - another with a button down cut in a knitted material. And I love those little chest pockets , which work very well on my modest bust line. They were 'buy one get one free' so I got them in pink and purple/black stripes

2. H&M plaid shirt - inspired by Angie's recent post on the come back of the nineties. I managed to find a feminine version - fitted, in 'my' color, with the enhancing chest pockets

3. H&M full grey-navy skirt - I love the shape, high waist, and a bit of sheen in the material

4. H&M wrap dress that quite a few ladies here have - I have been eying it for ages and finally got it

5. H&M blue roses dress - I LOOVE the retro shape, very 50's, and it fit perfectly, which is rare for me for dresses with a lot of built in shape. Not sure if it is a tad too short. If I decide to keep it I might add removable thin black straps. Also not sure where I would wear it, other than to dance parties.

1. These knit tops are nice for hot weather, and they look nice on you.

2. YAY! Purple plaid! I really want to find a more refined plaid shirt like this one. Keep!

3. This grey skirt looks really nice! What tops will you wear with it?

4. YES! LOVE this wrap dress on you. My favorite out of this bunch.

5. So adorable! Definitely keep this! It fits you perfectly, and you can do so much with it! Great for everyday layered with a jacket or sweater, or an afternoon date, etc. Have you tried it with the CM white vest you just got?

Wow, go H&M!

Loved everything esp the wrap dress. The first knit top was the only thing that wasn't a full 10, I think because of where it hit on the arm.Your arms are gorgeous, that's not the issue. It seemed to be half way between a cap sleeve and not, so not sure.The color is fab though.
Enjoy everything!

And the marathon continues! Here we go:

1. Beautiful colour. A good typical Tanya top. Very nice! On the fence about keeping it though.

2. Sweet! Like this even more. KEEP.

3. Adorable skirt! Needs a tucked-in svelte black top. KEEP!

4. Fab wrap! VERY Tanya. Absolutely keep!

5. So fab! Nice with a denim jacket – tone down the sweetness.

I'd say you have four to five items that aren't 10's out of the whole bunch. What an AMAZING SHOPPING SPREE! I'm so glad that you have clothes that fit again.

What a great haul.

I like everything in this batch, except #1 and #2. Keep them only if you need casual summer tops.
H&M plaid top is fab, do you mind if I copy it?

Maya

I like everything, including #1. They are good for casual days, running errands, going for a walk in the park, etc. Judging from the comments you hear in your lab, they would also be good for that since everyone is super casual.

I think I tried that wrap dress on at the YLF convention and just didn't feel comfortable in it. I knew I would be fussing with it all day and making sure the wrap was in place. It needs your tiny waist!

Purple plaid shirt, gray skirt, and retro strapless dress are all adorable. Very playful and sweet.

Tanya -- you look fantastic -- I love all of your new additions. Mostly, though, it's wonderful to see you back on the forum. You have been missed.

Laura

Tanya, I looked at all of your new purchases and enjoyed it so much, and wanted to comment that it is fun to see you branching out in new directions, and into some fun colors, and still being very you the whole time. Great to have you posting again!!

Tanya - yet another fabulous set of loot. You were on a streak!!! All great but if you have to get rid of something, I"d ditch the 2 Express shirts in #1. Also for the last dress, I'd consider a plain bolero jacket and leggings to offset the slightly shorter length.

Dawn

Fabulous! Seriously, best shopping spree I've seen in ages!

1) Stunning colour on you but it seems a bit blah compared to all the other lovely things you have bought.. but then again, it highlights your tiny waist. I would say keep as it could be a handy basic to have in your wardrobe.

Ooh I like the stripes on this top, keep!

2) Very cool. I love all the colours in this shirt!

3) I love this skirt! Keep!

4) Keep this dress! The wrap looks stunning on you!

5) I absolutely adore this dress... If I were wearing it, I would add a denim jacket or a leather jacket.

Tanya

Thank you all once again!

Bella, please feel free to get the plaid shirt, or whatever else you want.

I am taking the retro strapless dress back - noticed a quality issue with a very uneven hem, bad sewing. I have been thinking on whether to keep the first 2 Express tops, but since I need basics for the lab and they were 2 for $26, they are staying.

I do not think I did a good job on returns, only taking two things back total

Ah pity about the strapless dress- I often find H&M quality to be somewhat lacking at times.

Tanya, you look amazing in all of them in all three threads. I just wanted to say I'm happy to see your posts and sounds like you feel better.

Vani

Tanya, you look fantastic in everything! I am so glad to see you back to your cheerful self and posting

Tanya I think I'm too late in chiming in to help you wish returns, since you've already made up your mind. You look great in everything and I hope you had a ball shopping. You have certainly not lost your knack thats for sure!!!
