I think you should try it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-thoughts-on-b-038-lu#post-80199 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 06:03:30 +0000 marianna 80199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, you're right... I'm a snob! I'm only 22 so I suppose Forever 21 is completely appropriate for me. I guess my worry is that the items will fall apart or fade or just look completely cheap, and I don't want that! I haven't given the clothes a try though, so I shouldn't judge! And I see your point about using stores like F21 for experimenting/trendy items... makes total sense! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-thoughts-on-b-038-lu#post-80194 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 05:15:29 +0000 cciele 80194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You should definitely give skinnies a shot, MariannaCecile! I think they would suit your style.</p> <p>Of the dresses you posted, I think the first one would be super-flattering. Not sure about the second (hard to tell about its detail). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-thoughts-on-b-038-lu#post-80187 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 04:44:30 +0000 Maya 80187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like F21 for trendy items and experimenting with new looks or ideas. I also dare say that quality isn't as big of a deal at my age (25). It's all in how you wear it. As long as the quality doesn't make it look shabby or sloppy, I'll wear pretty much anything. I also find that price and quality often correlate but not always. A discerning eye is always needed. I have seen horrible quality at expensive stores, and great quality at the other end of the spectrum. I guess my point is never say never </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-thoughts-on-b-038-lu#post-80175 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 03:52:00 +0000 marianna 80175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jay, thanks for the LJ community heads up. I'm active on LJ and joined the community.</p> <p>Maya, I've heard about the Forever 21 plus size range... I thought it was just online! I generally am not too fond of their quality though. I guess it's worth a try!</p> <p>Regarding the skinnies... I suppose I just need to try them on and see how I feel! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-thoughts-on-b-038-lu#post-80173 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 03:27:04 +0000 Maya 80173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no personal experience but I have a friend who is a very happy B &#38; Lu customer. I wrote to her about them right after Angie's post and she hasn't looked back since.</p> <p>Also, just throwing this out there: Forever 21 has started a plus size range, Faith 21. It's very new, but more stock is added just about every day, and it is becoming available in more and more stores.</p> <p>p.s. I'm an apple and I wear skinnies, but I'll only wear them under tunics or dresses. I have a straighter pair that I can wear with normal tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-thoughts-on-b-038-lu#post-80109 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 23:14:09 +0000 Kristen 80109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That first dress is lovely! That might work for you. </p> <p>(Sorry, I am terrible at knowing if things will look good before you try it on. But I can offer advice once you have it on!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-thoughts-on-b-038-lu#post-80089 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 21:31:57 +0000 Michelle 80089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bet the girls are going to encourage you to give skinnies a try, if you have the slimmer legs usually associated with apples. That could be a hot look with a voluminous tunic or dress over them, maybe with the jeans tucked into boots. Practical for an Illinois winter, I would think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-thoughts-on-b-038-lu#post-80084 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 21:17:39 +0000 Anonymous 80084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey,</p> <p>I have not ordered from them, mainly because there are several things I would like, and a $250 order is out of the cards right now! However, I also read the posts at Fatshionista, and many many people there have ordered from them. Here is a link to their various reviews of the store: <a href="http://community.livejournal.com/fatshionista/tag/b%26lu" rel="nofollow">http://community.livejournal.c.....tag/b%26lu</a></p> <p>As for skinny jeans, I would also recommend searching Fatshionista (they don't have a tag for skinny jeans) to see pictures of various women of all body shapes wearing skinny jeans. Look for someone similar to you, and decide what you think of the look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-thoughts-on-b-038-lu#post-80082 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 20:50:03 +0000 marianna 80082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I looked through Angie's blogs on fuller figures and learned about B &#38; Lu... I had never heard of the website before. Upon browsing their items, I like what I see! Has anyone ordered anything from them? Any thoughts on fit and quality?</p> <p>Also, they have plus size skinny jeans! Can an apple wear skinny jeans? I'd love to give skinnies a try, but I'd be worried that I'd look horribly unproportional.</p> <p><a href="http://www.bandlu.com/product.asp?item=ramsey" rel="nofollow">http://www.bandlu.com/product.asp?item=ramsey</a></p> <p>Also! Any thoughts on these dresses for an apple? I like:<br /> <a href="http://www.bandlu.com/product.asp?item=tarkp" rel="nofollow">http://www.bandlu.com/product.asp?item=tarkp</a><br /> <a href="http://www.bandlu.com/product.asp?item=grettb" rel="nofollow">http://www.bandlu.com/product.asp?item=grettb</a> -- Is the neckline too high?</p> <p>Thank you! </p>
