My family and I all got sick, then everyone got sick *again* a week later. (We have never been this sick before—it’s bizarre.) And now we are leaving tomorrow on a short family trip. :} </p> <p><b>Dilemma</b><br /> New active/loungewear just arrived. I would loooove to wear these for the trip. But… </p> <p>I’m not sure if the top is super flattering on me? </p> <p>The joggers I feel are. </p> <p>I wear sweats to get coffee, workout, so these aren’t “home only” sweats. </p> <p>I tried a couple of rubber band tricks with the top. My feeling is having the sides nipped in at the waist would help a lot. (Sweats in my experience are usually not designed for curvy women.)</p> <p>Yay? Nay?

It's called Maddyparis.<br /> 1) do any of you know if it's legitimate?<br /> 2) how well does it fit as per the size chart? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-shirt-what-size#post-2393877 Wed, 20 Aug 2025 16:27:13 +0000 Carol 2393877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been eyeing this beautiful saturated indigo popover shirt for a while, from Marks and Spencer.&nbsp; My size(s) are back in stock, and I am thinking of getting it today. But I need to decide the size.</p> <p>According to measurements, I am a US 10. But I am also busty and with wide shoulders, which means I often do better sizing up. (Otherwise I can get a bunching effect at the armpits.) But this is with things like tees, blazers, sweaters, etc.&nbsp;</p> <p>The design of this shirt seems that it would allow for room across the chest/torso at my regular size. I would rather get my regular size for a trim fit across the shoulders. But I will size up if that is a better idea.&nbsp;</p> <p>(The customer reviews say "true to size," and the measurements I took were compared to the company size chart.)</p> <p>Do you think a 10 or a 12 is better? Thanks.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.marksandspencer.com/us/pure-cotton-round-neck-gathered-popover-blouse/p/P60729126.html?dwvar_P60729126_color=XB&amp;dwvar_P60729126_size=16&amp;pid=P60729126&amp;quantity=1">https://www.marksandspencer.co.....126.html?d</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/also-which-raincoat#post-2383518 Thu, 03 Apr 2025 20:04:02 +0000 Cookie 2383518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Company is out of business, they are all $40 but I really only have room for one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-outfit-for-photo#post-2358719 Tue, 23 Apr 2024 07:24:43 +0000 anchie 2358719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only have 10 minutes left before I have to leave to work.

I want a lightweight jumper to wear untucked with high-rise bottoms, but I'm worried the welt is a *smidge* too long on me for that.

Welcome to my revamped thread. It began as an urgent post while I was in a store. Now that I’ve bought myself some time, I’ve added pix of an order that came today. I want to take advantage of EU return policies while I’m here, without getting the moving equivalent of sales goggles. </p> <p>1-8 are (mostly) a jacket I loved, but I’m looking for a smaller size. </p> <p>I haven’t tried the skirt in 5, but can when I go back Fri. </p> <p>10-12 is a cord jumper (US definition; might be a pinny elsewhere). </p> <p>13-15 is a wrap-around skirt of the same fabric as 10-12. </p> <p>16-18 is a dress that I’m not convinced I need. </p> <p>19-20 climate data here &amp; where I’m headed (though I’m not sure I’ll stay there). </p> <p>Note the finds I have been price-watching on (in green) </p> <p>Should I try the skirt?</p> <p>Now come the things I ordered </p> <p>21-23 are all the same crochet topper. I am still looking for black pieces I could wear very traditionally to funerals. The white undershirt is just so you can see the crochet better. </p> <p>26 is a different black top. </p> <p>If I got either of these, I’d want to be able to wear it with this skirt for a funeral, and also on its own/with other things as part of my regular wardrobe. </p> <p>24 and 25 are different sizes of the same top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-green-dress#post-2290383 Tue, 08 Nov 2022 10:31:48 +0000 anne 2290383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My work party has a green theme this year.

I need to decide in the next 2.5 hours, by 6 pm mid-European time.

No pleats to worry about this time! I’m wearing sweater tights &amp; an undershirt with it here, would not do do oitw. In pic 3, it is not laced up.

I left with two lovely Wacoal bras - one nude for me, and one black - two different, &nbsp;if similar styles. &nbsp;If I still love them in a couple of weeks, I’ll stock up.</p> <p>Did some people watching and window shopping. &nbsp;Discerned a couple of ‘looks’ on repeat. &nbsp;#1 high&nbsp;waisted shorter shorts (4 in inseam?) with cropped tops and sneakers (high top Converse) or Birk style sandals or slides. &nbsp;#2 Full, puffed sleeve dresses, but sleeves styled with less ‘puff’ than seen in editorial photos. &nbsp;#3 Very wide cropped pants that look more like skirts and simple loose woven tops with short sleeves or sleeveless. &nbsp;#4 Cropped slim leg pants or jeans with white long sleeved button down worn untucked, sleeves pushed up. #5 biking shorts or leggings, body con top, sometimes a black blazer style jacket, baseball hat, &nbsp;dad sneakers - black and white. &nbsp;Also, messy buns at the back of head have been replaced by messy buns on the top of the head. &nbsp;I didn’t get much sense of colour (lots of white, cream, denim, black) except for the full dresses, and the store display windows and mannequins weren’t much different. &nbsp;</p> <p></div><div><br /></div><div>DS made a comment about all the socks and sandals (males and females) and the absence of high heels! &nbsp;</div><div> </p> <p>Thanks for looking/reading!</p> <p></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-nails#post-2208718 Fri, 09 Jul 2021 17:17:22 +0000 bridgie 2208718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A younger professional friend of mine and his wife have posted their anniversary picture on facebook.&nbsp; (Guess I think it's YLF, LOL')<br />Anyway, practically everyone is saying Happy Anniversary.&nbsp; I want to say that or something to that effect, But I also want to compliment her on her beautiful nails.&nbsp; Is that appropriate?&nbsp; And if it is appropriate, do I use her first name, as I do his, or should I say Mrs&nbsp; their last name.?&nbsp; I have not met her. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6to-get-the-summer-tires-on#post-2260251 Wed, 20 Apr 2022 21:11:15 +0000 Carla 2260251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had an appointment to get the tires on my car rotated out (winter tires to summer tires) and since I was getting new rubber for my car it was going to take a while. &nbsp;I did some returns of online purchases, and then inventoried the nearby shops. &nbsp;Though some items went into my cart, &nbsp;try-ons were a bust.

It reached 29'C yesterday! But became chilly enough that I needed sleeves in the evening and turned on the heat overnight.</p> <p>Today is forecast a high of 26, and already starting to cool at 3 when the wedding officially starts.</p> <p>I've dreamed of turning this ball dress (from my youngest daughter's wedding) to a Carolina Herrera look with white shirt and ball skirt. I contemplated wrapping it and belting it somehow (I brought some tartan ribbon) but that doesn't allow for de-layering should I get too hot. Does folded under and knotted this way work?</p> <p>Cuffs flipped as in 1/2, or buttoned as in 3?</p> <p>I have a blue gemstone bracelet I plan to wear, but will need help to do it up, so not modelled. </p> <p>Expecting cold weather, I thought I'd wear a navy cashmere crewneck as my top half. So my hair down and loose would have provided the bright contrast near my face. The bride is setting me up with her hair and makeup crew. Any suggestions what I should ask for? I don't find updos to be flattering on me.</p> <p>Any thoughts?</p> <p>PS notice the thatched roof/ceiling in this cottage on a wine farm? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-ex-boss-current-boss-future-boss#post-2264477 Wed, 25 May 2022 14:12:52 +0000 Zaeobi 2264477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA: I finally settled on the reddish orange dress with my flatform sandals &amp; chocolate rainbow earrings (attached). Thank you so much for everyone's suggestions!</p> <p>--- </p> <p>Just realised how sticky this situation is to dress for... </p> <p>So my ex-boss is leaving HK with a low-key bar drop-in for her farewell do this Friday. She's fairly laid-back, was at my wedding. Sounds casual, right? </p> <p>Well, she's friends with my current boss (for whom I'm working part-time), &amp; also a potential future boss (have spoken about possible vacancies over the phone but have not yet met), who will both also be there. Oh, &amp; other colleagues/ acquaintances from my soon-to-be-ex workplace (ex-boss works at the same centre where I'm currently wrapping up my contract) will likely also be dropping in at some point (don't know when). </p> <p>What on earth do I wear?! I don't want to be too stodgy at a bar, but at the same time I also don't want to give the wrong impression to a potential employer. I was thinking of perhaps wearing my satin cargo pants, but with what? I do also need to be somewhat practical (possibility of both rain &amp; high humidity, plus uphill urban walking)... </p> <p>Any suggestions would be highly appreciated! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/etsy-jewelry-advice-please#post-2260917 Mon, 25 Apr 2022 10:46:35 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2260917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My niece’s college graduation is coming up soon, and she is accepted to a Master’s program in engineering. I want to get her a shattered glass necklace.<br /> I got the idea from uncommon goods, which has this one <a href="https://www.uncommongoods.com/product/shattered-glass-ceiling-necklace" rel="nofollow">https://www.uncommongoods.com/.....g-necklace</a> </p> <p>That price seems steep, so I went to Etsy to browse for others, found that there are many there, from over $100 down to this one <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/906987143/broken-glass-necklace-mosaic-necklace?click_key=8476f644ee360528f844817b4a34809c6e140738%3A906987143&#038;click_sum=0dabd60e&#038;ga_order=price_asc&#038;ga_search_type=all&#038;ga_view_type=gallery&#038;ga_search_query=glass+ceiling+necklace&#038;ref=sr_gallery-1-10&#038;organic_search_click=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/9.....ch_click=1</a></p> <p>Both have good ratings; the negative comments on the Etsy site are about a different item being larger than expected.

I won’t be able to look at it before giving it, as I plan to have it sent directly to her (alternate plan would be to send several to my parents, who will see her, and have Mom pick one, but A.

They are made of remnant fabric, so each one unique. They are a little warmer than my red puffer, but not as stiff/bulky as my leather jackets.<br /> The blue one is a little bigger, but I like them both. Both have room for a thicker top or big sleeves underneath. They both have black fake fur inside the collar/near my face. I can buy one spontaneously, but not both. They are too similar to get both anyway. </p> <p>Am i “im Kaufrausch” (my logic clouded by the intoxication of shopping) or do I want one for real?</p> <p>PS. The photos are all mixed up. For simplicity, lets refer to them as the pink one &amp; the blue one (even though reality is more complicated).</p> <p>Also, the last three pictures are my current pink and blue outerwear.

My Pumas are a men's 5.5 and the conversion for the Stan Smith says the same (but they make my size&nbsp; feet look kind of wide--I'm assuming because it's a men's shoe?)&nbsp; They are so comfortable... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/try-these-jeans#post-2179720 Tue, 16 Mar 2021 19:22:38 +0000 Anonymous 2179720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all! In prepping my closet for spring I’ve been trying on all my jeans (I confess to wearing mostly leggings all winter). A couple months ago I noticed a hole in my jeans capsule and purchased a pair of Levi’s high rise Wedgie jeans on super sale at TJMaxx (pic #1). I like them a lot in theory, but I don’t think I like them on me. I think they’re a size too big, and the button fly only emphasizes that. I also think they’re too casual/tomboy, and that I feel better in more feminine jeans styles. So back to the drawing board. I realized I don’t feel very current after years of skinny jeans and want something a little trendier. Of the spring denim trends Angie shared, I like: <ul> <li>High rise</li> <li>Cuffed hem</li> <li>Wide crop</li> <li>Sailor waist</li> <li>Cropped flare</li> </ul> I have high rise wide leg black jeans and high rise white cropped jeans with split hem (pics 2 &amp; 3). Not pictured are a pair of light wash mid rise wide leg cutoff Levi’s from the 90s (not a perfect fit, but $1 at a yard sale so they work for now) and a pair of high rise cropped dark wash skinny Levi’s. Those are my “classics” so I’d like to add one updated pair. I usually cuff the Levi’s I have, so the cuffed hem trend might be covered. Wide crop is covered by the black pair. I like sailor a lot, but I might save that for when I can try on in stores because it seems trickiest. That leaves cropped flares.<div><br /></div><div>Current contender: the Veronica Beard jeans (pics 4 &amp; 5). Kick crops work well for me; if they’re not the right length I don’t mind cutting them shorter. The pockets seem fun and different from what I already have. But I’m curious what you all think: go for cropped flares, or do you suggest a different denim trend? If you like the flares, do you like this pair? And has anyone tried Veronica Beard denim? Thanks all!</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-long-do-your-sneakers-last#post-2189755 Sun, 25 Apr 2021 14:31:58 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 2189755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...if you wear them frequently. Everyday sneakers, that is, not workout shoes. I bought a couple pair of casual sneakers a bit before covid first hit and have worn them a fair bit given the way life went, and they’re starting to feel less supportive. I’ve probably worn each 1-2 times a week, maybe a bit more, for about a year. So that’d be ~100 wears each; no clue about mileage which is what I loosely track for my running shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fitting-room-advice-1#post-2060448 Fri, 13 Sep 2019 14:16:51 +0000 Liesbeth 2060448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually I'm taking a little coffee break, to rest and mull over the items below I tried on earlier.<br /> I want to add fitted checked trousers to my fw wardrobe and a red sweater (preferably cropped, but the right shade of red is hard enough to find as it is already!). Red sweater to be worn with brown tweed trousers, anthracite and the checked trousers too. Preferably layerable underneath my new oversized blazer which has a red stripe in it (pic 2).<br /> As I'm forever moving between crisp and moody colors, I'm unsure. The first pants here are b/w, so quite sharp, as is the bright red sweater. The second pair are mybeloved uniqlo ezy's, now in a lovely purple and grey plaid, but the thicker fabric doesn't look very nice to me at the crotch point. Also, with the picture I'm veering towards the higher contrast b/w... they could be worn right away with white loafers too...<br /> What do you think? </p>
