I will try to remember to take my camera and get some pics. I do wish CM had a petite line though - I absolutely love their clothes and find the quality to be excellent. Their style speaks to me.</p> <p>MNsara - that's what I like about the black/white moto too. It has the white but strategically placed IMO.</p> <p>Suz - I did like the white leather jacket but it wasn't almost too much white on me you know?</p> <p>Now I do have a black/white cotton bomber jacket I just bought that would be somewhat duplicated with a black/white leather moto, but IMO, they would serve different purposes - correct?</p> <p>Who knew that shopping without buying could be fun and informative? Pre YLF, coming home without a bag would mean disappointment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-recommended-non-buying-shopping-trip#post-845039 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 17:10:12 +0000 Angie 845039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done, sweet and earnest Shannon. I just adore you.</p> <p>I can't wait to see the black &amp; white beauty on!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-recommended-non-buying-shopping-trip#post-845018 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 16:37:18 +0000 cheryl 845018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! That jacket is fabulous. Great restraint. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-recommended-non-buying-shopping-trip#post-844916 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 14:05:28 +0000 Anonymous 844916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did good Shannon! You learned a lot, and you still love the B &amp; W one, so hold out for that beauty. Way to show restraint! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-recommended-non-buying-shopping-trip#post-844913 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 14:02:22 +0000 Ingunn 844913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a GORGEOUS jacket! I think it would suit your style so well! *enabling*. I am also uncertain about white leather, but this one is classic, modern, streamlined and very cool. Enough white to keep it light, and I can envision it worn in so many different outfits. You did well on this shopping trip, Shannon:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-recommended-non-buying-shopping-trip#post-844897 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 12:29:02 +0000 krishnidoux 844897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for posting this. Informative. I always have the same reaction in Winners' shoe section. The "good" ones disappear almost instantly. I don't know if buying footwear there is possible for me: I'd have to visit the store very often, which is not possible. </p> <p>Good for you to have tried on the jacket, now you know this particular one is not for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-recommended-non-buying-shopping-trip#post-844794 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 03:33:58 +0000 MNsara 844794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome jacket! It has all my white leather concerns taken care of: Black collar means it looks cleaner longer (no makeup on the front corners), black sleeves means it looks cleaner longer (no grubby wrists - just WHAT do I do with those wrists!)</p> <p>I hope you get a chance to consider it calmly and after comparing to the floral moto. :-)</p> <p>ETA: Great shopping trip too -- no pressure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-recommended-non-buying-shopping-trip#post-844761 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 02:55:10 +0000 rae 844761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OOOOh, I can totally see you in that! I love love love the racing stripe down the sleeves. Very racecar driver! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-recommended-non-buying-shopping-trip#post-844707 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 01:48:36 +0000 Jaime 844707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That jacket is stunning. Amazing self restraint, Shannon. I am impressed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-recommended-non-buying-shopping-trip#post-844675 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 01:03:27 +0000 Emily 844675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, the black and white moto would be SO fab on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-recommended-non-buying-shopping-trip#post-844674 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 01:03:01 +0000 Sarah A 844674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun "shopping" trip (im impressed!!!!) and i love that graphic jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-recommended-non-buying-shopping-trip#post-844617 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 00:02:11 +0000 Suz 844617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, that is really good shopping!</p> <p>I am sorry the white one didn't work out for you. </p> <p>And meanwhile, amazed that the black and white one did! Do you know I tried that one on and it was all too long in the body for me? Plus, I couldn't fill it out properly somehow. It just looked downright weird on me. </p> <p>To me, this goes to show the importance and value of fitting clothes on our own unique bodies. Just because someone is "petite" or not doesn't really tell you a whole lot. There are so many other factors. </p> <p>I think that is a fun and sophisticated jacket. It would be a good choice for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-recommended-non-buying-shopping-trip#post-844607 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 23:44:26 +0000 Aziraphale 844607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome black and white jacket! It would make you look like a formula 1 race car driver. (In a good way, of course).</p> <p>Shannon, I think you have the same problem with Danier that I have with Fluevog. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-recommended-non-buying-shopping-trip#post-844589 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 23:13:26 +0000 Thistle 844589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that black and whie moto. I like it better than the floral moto to be honest, but you all have to try and see which loves your figure more and which makes you feel the most fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-recommended-non-buying-shopping-trip#post-844583 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 23:08:17 +0000 Atlantia 844583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, I love that moto! I know you need to try the floral, but I am holding out for the black and white for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-recommended-non-buying-shopping-trip#post-844579 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 23:05:39 +0000 Transcona Shannon 844579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Had to go pick up some tailoring and decided to take advantage of a bit of time to myself and peruse the stores - with no buying in mind or allowed. I wanted to follow Angie's advice from her 20 tips blog post and go see what's in the stores, what's coming in for spring, try on a few things and get a handle on what I'm really looking for. I've done up a spring wish list but maybe something else will come along that kicks something else off the list.</p> <p>I went to Winner's and found they had all the winter stuff on clearance - it was quite a mess in the store unfortunately. But I did notice nice bright colours in tops and cropped pants, beautiful bright leather handbags. There were items by Tahari, Calvin Klein, Bebe, and Maggy London - nice to see some better brands in the store. The shoe selection was absolutely pitiful. There was nothing there that even beckoned me try it on, so away I went.</p> <p>Then I popped into Danier Leather. Such beautiful, bright colours for spring! I tried on Inge/Suz/Sveta's white leather jacket - very lovely and a decent fit, but not perfect. I did not care for the shade of green it comes on - the wrong green for me. I tried on a red jacket and it was just kind of "meh". I even tried on the long, drapey, cascading cardigan with leather sleeves - I actually really liked it but way too long on short me. And then I tried on this <a href="http://www.danier.com/leather-women-jackets-blazers-104020165-P7494.aspx?lang=en&#038;colour=722" rel="nofollow">http://www.danier.com/leather-.....colour=722</a>|979797&amp;mc=yes. Loved it! Unfortunately I didn't have my phone or camera with me so can't show you with it on me. It's slightly snug when done up, but nothing to worry about IMO. It's a classic moto style in black and white - my favourite style in my favourite colour combination. But I came home without it.</p> <p>I want to try on the floral moto at Club Monaco before making any decisions. But I gotta say, my heart is holding a spot for the black and white beauty </p>
