I feel kind of grrrr about CAbi. First there's the social pressure thing you touched on. Second, I really find the quality sub par. Especially for the prices you're paying. So just grrr. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all---to-buy-or-not-to-buy#post-1388294 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 02:56:29 +0000 frannieb 1388294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>okay so now - I have decided to go with the offwhite Moto - I have possibly to much gray, black and Navy in my wardrobe - off-white just may be something I am craving in the middle of winter.&nbsp;<br />On a whim I bought an off white jacket this spring and it was in constant rotation for all of spring and summer - It was much more versitle then I ever imangined. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all---to-buy-or-not-to-buy#post-1388157 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 21:56:43 +0000 kkards 1388157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure if you are still thinking about the cream moto, but here's another vote for it. As well as the black knit top, great fit.<br /> And I just want to add,love your sunnies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all---to-buy-or-not-to-buy#post-1388136 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 21:28:12 +0000 annabelle 1388136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see you decided against the off white moto, but I want to add, it's a fantastic color on you. It might be more versatile than you think. One of my stylists sent me a Helmut Lang&nbsp;knit moto-cut jacket in what I thought was a blah version of sand color. (I typically wear grey.) It turns out,&nbsp;I wear the jacket non-stop. Sometimes getting out of our comfort zone can be a good thing, and it opens up possibilities. And the simple tops look great on you, too, if you need some basics in your wardrobe right now. I love your smile.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all---to-buy-or-not-to-buy#post-1388121 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 21:16:31 +0000 Anonymous 1388121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"I have been on the hunt for a black one" - so why even think about off-white?? If you want black, wait for it...you'll find it. Good choice to pass! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all---to-buy-or-not-to-buy#post-1387901 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 16:01:42 +0000 Angie 1387901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sizing up in the white moto is a great idea and my thumbs are up. The piece has great potential.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all---to-buy-or-not-to-buy#post-1387877 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 14:58:28 +0000 frannieb 1387877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now that I have slept on it - I like the concept of the off-white sweater with a v-neck - I wear a ton of gray, black and Navy this could be a good piece to lighten things up in the winter - of course in the right size. &nbsp;<br />Not sure if it is this off-white sweater or another - Seeing how it could become a wardrobe essential.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all---to-buy-or-not-to-buy#post-1387650 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 01:13:50 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1387650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've actually been eyeing up that moto on their website for myself - I think if you could get the right fit it would be nice. But I can see why a black one might be more versatile. The others don't really grab me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all---to-buy-or-not-to-buy#post-1387642 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 01:07:43 +0000 Suz 1387642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I quite like the moto. But if it isn't thrilling you, then absolutely send it back. The tops would be just so-so, even in the right size, so unless you need them for layering, then let them go!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all---to-buy-or-not-to-buy#post-1387628 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 00:48:42 +0000 Sveta 1387628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you made a good decision. The moto is OK but not WOW IYNWIM.<br />The same is for the tops - &nbsp;thy do not have the current cut I think.<br />Yep, thinking at &nbsp;home is MUCH easier! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all---to-buy-or-not-to-buy#post-1387623 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 00:43:45 +0000 frannieb 1387623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>okay I am thinking that I&nbsp;have now talked myself out of the off-white jacket. I will continue my quest for a black moto jacket, that is just right for me and won't settle.&nbsp;<br />Another YLF lesson learned - the best decisions made are at home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all---to-buy-or-not-to-buy#post-1387549 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 22:39:15 +0000 frannieb 1387549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I went to a Cabi party today&nbsp;<br />below are some options of tops to buy or not to buy<br />First when you do a cabi party you are not always trying on the correct sizes</p> <p>Picture 1<br />1. Two items for consideration - 1 a moto type jacket - I have been on the hunt for a black one and have bought 3 and returned 3 so far. Have tried on well over a dozen at this point. Clearly a HEWI. So I found this ponte fabricish offwhite one - would need to size up it was tight in the arms - great fit&nbsp;in the back<br />2. In picture number 1 the v-neck top - a neckline I never wear - in a greenish, brownish color&nbsp;</p> <p>Picture 2 and 3<br />The most softest v-neck off-white knit - I would need to size up to a large for the fluid fit is is supposed to have - wearing a medium here. &nbsp;</p> <p>Picture 4<br />A fitted black wrap shirt would be worn under suit coats and such</p> <p>My friend who went with me thought I was crazy b/c I had her taking my picture with different outfits. Wow I can say seeing a couple tops in pictures made it much easier to cut them. In the past I have made some bad mistakes at cabi because I get caught up in the experience with people. &nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks in advance for the help. </p>
