Now I like scarves but do not want to ahev to wear them all the time, particularly in the long hot summer months here.&nbsp; So building a collection of woven high neck tops, made of natural materials and with various sleeve lengths will be one of my highest fashion priorities for the next two years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-request-for-help#post-1105697 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 00:48:11 +0000 josie411 1105697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Bellevue Square store has it in size 0. I cannot get there but maybe someone else who sees this could get there? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-request-for-help#post-1105427 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 19:23:30 +0000 Anonymous 1105427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, the flagship store by me seems to have it. I will walk over there after work and if I see if they have it. I will get it for you if that's the case. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-request-for-help#post-1105424 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 19:20:18 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1105424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just looked - none of my local stores had it in stock in your sizes.

No BR in my town or I'd be happy to look for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-request-for-help#post-1105327 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 17:53:24 +0000 Sveta 1105327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not in US and cannot help you out but I wanted to chime in for the hiding scar thing.<br />I had a thyroid surgery 4 years ago which left me with 1.5 in scar right in the middle of my throat. At first like you I was looking for high neck tops to hide it but then I realized that I don't wnat to do it forever. After 6 months the scar was not red anymore and I just accepted it and began to wear&nbsp; my usual open neck tops again. I felt much better after that decision and now I don't even notice it anymore even though it is still there. </p> <p>You also can try some medications to make it less prominenent. I know that <a href="http://www.bio-oil.com/en-us/" rel="nofollow">bio-oil </a>is supposed to make scars smaller (I also use it instead of he night cream with good results). My plastic surgeon also prescribed me this <a href="http://www.dermatix.net/" rel="nofollow">Dermatix</a> cream, I think you have to use it pretty soon after the surgery.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-request-for-help#post-1105311 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 17:31:52 +0000 marianna 1105311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, I just did the "Reserve in Store" option on their website, and it shows that the Michigan Ave store in Chicago has the size 2. Could you maybe call them and have them ship it to you? I'm not near downtown Chicago, otherwise I would swing by and grab it for you. Their phone&nbsp;# is&nbsp;(312) 642-0020. Hope that helps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-request-for-help#post-1105302 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 17:23:09 +0000 Tanya 1105302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear YLF-ers&nbsp; located in USA, I am hoping I can ask you for some unusual help.<br />BR has introduced it's L'Wren Scott Collection earlier today, and as usual all the good things are selling out really fast. I was really, really hoping to get this blouse:<br /><a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=1001949&amp;vid=1&amp;pid=931983002" rel="nofollow">http://bananarepublic.gap.com/.....=931983002</a><br />but unfortunately it is sold out online in any of my possible sizes and in local stores,too. </p> <p>The reason I would really like to have it is that I need to start building a collection of high-neck tops in natural fibers to hide my surgery scar for the warm weather when scarves and turtlenecks are going to be impossible.</p> <p>So, if you happen to be in a BR store that carries this collection, and you see that they have the blouse in either size 2 (preferably) or size 0, and it is not too much of a hassle, I was hoping that you could pick it up for me and mail it to me.&nbsp; Obviously, I would pay you back the cost and the shipping.&nbsp; </p> <p>Also, I do not want anyone to go and look for it for me on purpose, I would feel very guilty about that.&nbsp; Just to check if you already happen to be in the store.<br />And, it might happen that if more than one person finds it, some returns will be necessary.&nbsp; My apologies in advance.&nbsp; (The printed version will not work as it is polyester.&nbsp; Only the solid green one is silk).</p> <p>Many, many thanks!&nbsp; </p>
