Packing is always a good challenge ^^) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-keep-or-returns/page/2#post-423296 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 22:54:13 +0000 Queen Mum 423296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll get a full outfit shot with the booties early next week... decided at the last minute to fly to LA tomorrow to surprise my mom for her 70th. Now I gotta figure out what to pack!</p> <p>Lisa, I do think I could have sized down in the dress, but I went with that size for the length in the torso. Oh well, it will go back as soon as I get the chance.</p> <p>I'm pondering dying that crochet sweater a nice pretty red..... anyone have experience dying sweaters? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-keep-or-returns/page/2#post-423291 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 22:44:41 +0000 Aida 423291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both sweaters (LOVE the striped one!), not crazy about the dress (looks bulky) and not crazy about the boots. The gap around the ankle looks large to me which I wouldn't mind as much IF the heel were a bit more delicate; to me seeing the gap+chunkier heel just looks too.. clunky. However, this is based on looking at JUST the boots on your foot. Is it possible to get a full shot? It could look quite different in the context of your whole self </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-keep-or-returns/page/2#post-423194 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 20:30:26 +0000 Lisa 423194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Am I too late? I'm not a fan of the dress, it looks baggy, is it the correct size? Nice color on you though. The crochet top is neat, but I'd prefer a different color on you. I really like the striped top and the animal print booties. Those two items get my keep vote. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-keep-or-returns/page/2#post-422951 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 15:07:53 +0000 Queen Mum 422951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the input so far, and a special shout out thank you to Khrihsindoux for blunt honesty. I wish there was a "honesty" appreciation button. THat is exactly why I come here...<br /> I gotta run but I'll try to post pics later of the booties with pants. I did try it last night and I have to say that dark denim against the leopard print was quite eye catching to me. But I want to hear what you all think.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-keep-or-returns/page/2#post-422878 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 13:32:32 +0000 lyn67 422878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Am I late for the ball?<br /> Dress doesn't do anything for you, KIm-please return. (Summer is over so don't need that now, anyway.:-))<br /> Chuncky sweatter will be fab with contrasting turtlenecks, or long sleeve tops and blouses. I actually don't mind the white under it, but needs a long sleeve in my opinion.<br /> I don't get the point with the striped one's open sides(but i like the stripes on you)-and the black tank will surely help. This is a fashion foreward item I might have to adjust my eyes to.(a cape?)<br /> I too, have one knitted cape, but that is an outerwear(chunkier and so much longer than yours), and wear it with a belt.<br /> The booties-am controversial. Need to see it styled in a photo from head to toe. than only can have any opinion,<br /> Thanx for considerring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-keep-or-returns/page/2#post-422835 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 12:11:31 +0000 krishnidoux 422835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>QM, this is my honest of honest opinion about the booties. </p> <p>They look ill-fitted on your delicate ankle. In fact, they just look too big all over. The round platybus frontal shape doesn't help either. The toe box portion seems to be hesitating between a moccasin and a slipper. The over all motif, too contrasted, too obvious, just screams fashion victim. There is nothing I can forgive about this crime. </p> <p>You have amazing legs, and equally amazing style sense. The sweaters you picked are adorable and make you look even more beautiful and hip, each in their own way. The striped one has a little "rebel" and artsy side to it without overly doing so. The other one makes you very sexy, because you look cozy, comfortable yet feminine in it and the color is soft. </p> <p>The above comment about the booties is meant as constructive. It's only my opinion.</p> <p>I realize Angie has leopard booties but hers do come up higher above the ankle, making them truly a boot more than a shoe; then the pattern on them is more blurred, and not as "in your face". It's precisely this subtlety that make them chic. </p> <p>Cheers </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-keep-or-returns/page/2#post-422816 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 11:33:19 +0000 Jonesy 422816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the striped sweater! Love! I would love the other sweater if it were in a different color, but like it is I'd give it a 7. Ambivalent about the dress and I think the booties look a bit big with that gap (seems like since they are so low-cut that they should hug the ankle, and these don't--but totally moot if you are planning to wear them with pants exclusively?). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-keep-or-returns/page/2#post-422743 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 06:11:05 +0000 Marley 422743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all - you are so cute!</p> <p>Haven't read anyone else's responses yet - but, I LOVE the striped top - my favorite of the lot! The brownish, taupish color top, I don't think is flattering to your skin-tone. The dress is a great color on you - but the style seems kind of "busy" to me. I love the booties. There looks as though there is a slight gap in the back - do you see that? I think these would look fantastic with jeans and pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-keep-or-returns/page/2#post-422740 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 06:07:43 +0000 CK 422740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the striped sweater. The rest I am not sold on. They are just not up to your usual fab style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-keep-or-returns#post-422736 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 05:42:13 +0000 catgirl 422736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kim, I got my booties today. They have a slight gap too, and I think it's because of that little v in the front which gives extra ankle room. That didn't bother me, and they were comfy, but I'm sending them back because the two shoes look mismatched! One has a very dark large spots - the other is much smaller and more faded looking. It sounds stupid, but once I noticed it, I knew it would drive me mad. It's like they came from two different lots. I'm wondering if I should exchange or just forget it. How are yours in that regard? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-keep-or-returns#post-422690 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 04:14:30 +0000 cciele 422690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going with the crowd too! The caped striped sweater is awesome -- love the drape. The booties are cute, but I'm also not sure what to make of the gap. If you plan on wearing just with pants it might be ok. Look forward to seeing pics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-keep-or-returns#post-422684 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 04:04:49 +0000 Carole 422684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kim, figured it could be a distortion in the photo. Looked really great from the side view. Just love your hair style these days. So chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-keep-or-returns#post-422652 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 03:04:23 +0000 Vani 422652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE love love the cape striped sweater! I'm not an expert on boot gape but these shoes do gape enough to look a tad too big overall. But they are definitely yummilicious!</p> <p>My friend bought that Target dress and I love how gorgeous the color looks IRL. For the clearance price now, it is a great summer basic buy. The other sweater top is sweet too. I just think the smoothing out the wrinkle on the tummywill eliminate any indications of tummy poofiness . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-keep-or-returns#post-422632 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 02:27:10 +0000 Queen Mum 422632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll get a pic up tomorrow of the booties with jeans.<br /> Carole, I think IRL the sweater doesn't look quite as tummy puffing as the pic appears, but I'll need to try it with a brown or purple cami (the sweater is actually a muted heather purpleish color)</p> <p>Both sweaters are from Nordstrom.. and on sale... gosh, I can't find the Caslon one. It went down to $14 yesterday so it must have gotten sold out. </p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/research-design-poncho-top/3193879?origin=wishlist" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/re.....n=wishlist</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-keep-or-returns#post-422630 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 02:26:58 +0000 Janet 422630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely love the striped sweater on you! The dress and other top are not quite as fab IMHO. The booties are cute, but they do somehow look big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-keep-or-returns#post-422618 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 02:14:48 +0000 nancylee 422618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the crowd...both sweaters are cute and keepers. The dress is....well, I think you could do better. Not sure I have an opinion on the booties. They do seems a little "heavy" like Dresslover said. The print is pretty strong and they have such a high vamp...not sure they're as flattering as some others out there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-keep-or-returns#post-422617 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 02:11:48 +0000 Carole 422617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely love the striped cape sweater, so flattering and chic! I want one!!! Going to be the odd ball here, but I'm not loving the gray sweater, it looked fine until I saw the front view and and the wide band across the tummy in front didn't seem very flattering.</p> <p>I thought the dress was cute and the booties seemed much like the others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-keep-or-returns#post-422603 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 02:00:58 +0000 D'Ellen 422603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the striped sweater is the real winner of this group. Love it on you! The booties are very cool...but they do look too big for you. Maybe it's just the angle of the pics? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-keep-or-returns#post-422505 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 00:21:00 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 422505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Striped sweater is GREAT! I like the booties and can forgive the gap, personally. The dress doesn't do it for me. The light color sweater looks nice but doesn't sing to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-keep-or-returns#post-422484 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 23:57:12 +0000 qfbrenda 422484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad the dress is going back. It's not up to your usual classy style.</p> <p>The booties are cool but look too big for your feet. I'd love to see them with jeans.</p> <p>The sweaters look nice on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-keep-or-returns#post-422481 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 23:54:58 +0000 catgirl 422481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered those booties too in grey. Hmmm. They look big to me on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-keep-or-returns#post-422476 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 23:49:07 +0000 Suz 422476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad you are sending the dress back; it's not your usual fabness. I love the striped sweater. It looks fun and graceful at the same time. As for the booties, I'd love to see with pants if that's how you'll wear them. The gap is bugging me, too, but if it isn't an issue with pants on, then maybe it's not a problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-keep-or-returns#post-422472 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 23:39:55 +0000 catgirl 422472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, withou reading anyone else's response - love the sweaters (is that the crochet sweater in the new Nordstrom catalog?), okay with the booties, don't love the dress. I think it is fussy looking around the middle, although it's a great color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-keep-or-returns#post-422467 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 23:30:51 +0000 bella 422467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the striped sweater but I am not crazy about the rest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-keep-or-returns#post-422431 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 22:43:18 +0000 modgrl 422431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the sweaters and booties. The dress is just not killer.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-keep-or-returns#post-422430 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 22:36:31 +0000 rae 422430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In response to the request for elaboration on the booties: </p> <p>I feel they look really long - something about the very low shaft combined with a very high vamp looks inelegant to my eye. Nothing to break up the long, flat oval of leopard. Pants might make the difference, however. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-keep-or-returns#post-422428 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 22:34:18 +0000 rae 422428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the sweaters, but the dress and the booties aren't my favorites. Can we see the booties with pants, if that's how you plan to wear them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-keep-or-returns#post-422413 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 22:10:14 +0000 Queen Mum 422413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>okay, the dress is in the return bag.<br /> I'll most likely keep both sweaters. Whenever I wait until I really need warm sweaters, I end up with frumpy, unflattering sweaters. I really want to get my sweater collection up to par. </p> <p>For those who aren't fans of the booties, care to elaborate? If I don't hear your objections and I decide to keep them, I'm always going to be self-conscious wondering what people are thinking </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-keep-or-returns#post-422408 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 22:05:13 +0000 annagybe 422408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the two sweaters. Not really liking what the dress is doing to your waist. Indifferent on the shoes. </p>
