I didn't fuss with it, wasn't tempted to be pulling at it all day, and found it easy to wear. &nbsp;I bought it in the store, and and never seen it on line until I went to find a picture of it , and see that the model has a shirt under it . I'm going to stick a scarf in there next time i wear it &nbsp;- hate shirts under things. &nbsp;Anyways, it didn't bother me at all. &nbsp;It's above the knee, but the model in the pic is a lot taller than me . &nbsp;At 5'5'' - it was an inch or so above the knee, but I'm in thick matte tights and very comfortable (the legs are the last to go etc - haha)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-new-things-and-wiwore-in-toronto#post-1433763 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 15:45:23 +0000 shiny 1433763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please tell me more about that BR dress.

( i used to rep this line a few years ago). Since then they've dropped the prices a bit - I think the retail on this bag is only about $150 Cdn. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-new-things-and-wiwore-in-toronto#post-1433627 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 12:11:58 +0000 Mona 1433627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all great pieces and bravo to you for working 10 hrs days.

I find the straighteners work wonders &nbsp;Im also a closet hair stylist and think I have my stylist's technique down pat... she might not think so ha ha. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-new-things-and-wiwore-in-toronto#post-1433556 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 05:01:34 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1433556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cheers, Lisa!

I'm good with people, but absolutely need to get away from them at a certain point (that includes everyone - my family too )&nbsp;. And fortunately, these are registered clients and buyers, and not really the unwashed public at large &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-new-things-and-wiwore-in-toronto#post-1433472 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 02:09:22 +0000 Anonymous 1433472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Elizabeth! &nbsp;I had such fun at this trade show - and the hours just flew by.

Best gift ever. &nbsp;Jenny Bird is Canadian - I really love her designs and treat myself to something every once in awhile. My favourite boutique here stocks her line, and there is always something I like. It's really well priced for the quality and weight of these pieces - i'm always pleasantly surprised when i ask the price of something. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-new-things-and-wiwore-in-toronto#post-1433451 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 01:45:08 +0000 Suz 1433451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful in that new jacket! It's gorgeous. I love the dramatic collar combined with simplicity elsewhere. And all the other items look equally well chosen. Love the dresses -- I can easily imagine how well these would work. You are a hero for managing 10 hour days on your feet!</p> <p>And now I need to know....where did the backpack come from?&nbsp;</p> <p>Remember I got the Zara backpack? Well, I loved it, except did not love the texture. I was hoping for real leather. So I gave it to my stepdaughter. Now Danier is sold out of the leather one and I haven't found another I like anywhere near as well.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love the Jenny Bird pendant, too. Some jewellery is on my "to buy" list. I am not good at choosing it and would like to add some.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-new-things-and-wiwore-in-toronto#post-1433450 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 01:43:48 +0000 Anonymous 1433450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, thanks:) &nbsp;I cut my hair myself a few weeks ago in a fit of frustration, and cut off my long bangs. &nbsp;Also cut layers into the front - my stylist nearly died when I she saw me &nbsp;(although she is used to all sorts of hair shenanigans from me ). &nbsp;I'm kind of sorry I cut off my longer bangs but who knows - I change my mind daily. &nbsp;You know how it is with short hair - all of a sudden you catch yourself in the mirror and your hair looks huge and solid. &nbsp;Out come the scissors . &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-new-things-and-wiwore-in-toronto#post-1433449 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 01:32:38 +0000 Deborah 1433449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa you are looking so good:). Your hair looks amazing and you have me thinking I need to cut a shorter sweeped fringe (bangs?). Sounds like you packed very successfully. Love the Anthro dress and EF top. The BR dress looks fab too. I have something similar and it's so easy to wear. And do t worry, hotel bathrooms have to blue the worst for selfies:). I think you look really pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-new-things-and-wiwore-in-toronto#post-1433448 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 01:32:27 +0000 Jaime 1433448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also love the hair and the new goodies.

I also didn't bring a great lipstick colour choice with me - which also bugged me all week. &nbsp;Work in progress . &nbsp;&nbsp; This bathroom&nbsp;&nbsp;lighting was brutal, shows the bags under my eyes a little too clearly &nbsp;Gosh, I hate taking photos of myself. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-new-things-and-wiwore-in-toronto#post-1433440 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 01:18:22 +0000 columbine(erin) 1433440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The new jacket is really gorgeous with your hair and complexion!

Gorgeous leather jacket and new backpack. Nice neck bling too. xo</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-new-things-and-wiwore-in-toronto#post-1433433 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 01:10:10 +0000 Anonymous 1433433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just got home from a 6 day trip to Toronto for business. Only forgot to pack one critical thing, which was a new best &nbsp;for me - a pair of leather/ponte pants that were to go with a specific jacket. So much for that outfit. Ended up doubling up on this Anthro tunic dress because I liked it so much. Lighting in my hotel room was not the best, but you get the drift. &nbsp;The Anthro piece is&nbsp;&nbsp;a dusky blue/black colour, so I chose to treat it as black for now. Wore it with an angular Jenny Bird pendant, black tights, and black suede pointy toe booties. &nbsp;This dress will transition well into spring, and I already know I can wear my open back sand colour boots with this - and maybe some faux horn jewellery. &nbsp;</p> <p>Another couple of pieces I wore both to work selling and out for an evening were this new Danier leather jacket and a pale grey linen EF sweater. I went to Danier to see if I could find an winter white leather, but actually found the colour looked odd on me. I completely ignored this jacket because of the colour, but was persuaded to try it on (I know and trust the SA) . &nbsp;I'm also new to mixing neutrals like this, but found I quite like it. &nbsp;I switched out the linen sweater for evening with a marled grey distressed Current Elliot T and jeans. &nbsp;Loved it. &nbsp;</p> <p>A third dress I enjoyed wearing (these are 10 hour days in the showroom selling - busy, and "on" all day) was this BR knit dress with shoulder zippers. Wore it with diamond studded black safety pin earrings, black tights&nbsp; and the same sueded booties. Felt comfortable and fashionable. &nbsp;(no pics of me in it, sorry )&nbsp;This too will transition well into Spring - nude stockings and a shiny black leather shoe or boot. &nbsp;</p> <p></p> <p>Ooh, and lastly , and perhaps my most exciting find that worked so well on this trip -this new faux leather Moleskine backpack. &nbsp;Luxe looking, CLEAN design, super comfortable to carry, and with a moulded bottom that allowed it to sit upright. &nbsp;I used it everyday to and from my hotel and the showroom, toting shoes, iPads, makeup bag, water bottles, files, etc etc - and LOVED IT.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm sitting in my office staring at my huge half unpacked suitcase and wondering if there's any wine in the fridge. &nbsp;Hope someone gets something helpful from this new-pieces little review :)&nbsp;</p>
