I don't like the whiskering at the thigh, so these are only for tunics/dress (but that's the only way that I really wear skinnies anyhow). That was my complaint about them.<br /> The waterfall tee I only bought because I was hot, and needed something to change into. I wasn't planning on buying tops. I put the top that I had been wearing into the Loft bag with the receipt, and left it somewhere- in a dressing room probably.<br /> queenei- I am the next city over from your sister in AV<br /> There is a spot on the computer to load a card, but the card from my phone is a miniature and needs an adapter- that's what I can't find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-shopping-was-a-bust#post-118049 Sun, 17 Jan 2010 15:44:50 +0000 MNsara 118049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those tops look gorgeous and I really like the Levis. They also look almost like skinnies to me too. Love the dark wash. I think you did well! I hope you can soon get pics of all including jacket! Good luck with that.</p> <p>Jean shopping can be hard, discouraging work and even when you bring some home it takes a while to find out if you do or don't like them.</p> <p>(queenie - the Levi's said they were only available online or at a Levi's store - in case you have Lev's store nearby. . . ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-shopping-was-a-bust#post-118048 Sun, 17 Jan 2010 15:43:15 +0000 Alecia 118048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those tops and jeans. Happy belated birthday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-shopping-was-a-bust#post-118043 Sun, 17 Jan 2010 15:23:21 +0000 Queen Mum 118043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>great loot- I'm assuming your computer doesn't have a place for your DS card? Not trying at all to imply that you don't know your own computer, but I"ve actually found quite a few people who didn't know they could do that....</p> <p>I really like those Levi's- and I agree, they look more like skinnies to me. Where did you get them? The only place I can find Levi's is Kohls and their selection stinks.</p> <p>You're really getting set for summer aren't you? I'm curious as to which desert area you are in. I have a sister in Lancaster, and one in Apple Valley (Victorville). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-shopping-was-a-bust#post-117973 Sun, 17 Jan 2010 06:42:01 +0000 Vani 117973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The rose tank is gorgeous Khris! If I could find as much in one shopping trip as you did, I'd be ecstatic Don't worry, a pair of jeans with your name on it is out there somewhere. You will find it soon enough. Now let's hope you find that widget soon because I can't wait to see your loot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-shopping-was-a-bust#post-117964 Sun, 17 Jan 2010 05:58:40 +0000 Anonymous 117964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like a good haul to me. Let's see them on Birthday Girl!<br /> The colors are delicious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-shopping-was-a-bust#post-117963 Sun, 17 Jan 2010 05:57:44 +0000 stringy 117963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How frustrating! Never mind, you'll do better another day. The waterfall tee and rose tank are just gorgeous though, I look forward to seeing them on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-shopping-was-a-bust#post-117956 Sun, 17 Jan 2010 05:39:37 +0000 chewyspaghetti 117956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, not entirely- I did end up with two tops, a pair of ok jeans, and a necklace. I was really frustrated and disappointed, though. I headed for the stores that Angie suggested first, and tried on as many styles as I could find. The *only* things that even remotely fit were Levi's straight leg and Gap (long and lean and curvy). I bought a pair of Levi's, mostly because of the price. They are labeled as straight fit, but they were pretty skinny on me so those will replace my old, getting too big skinnies. I didn't buy Gap long and leans because I know that the outlet has them for $30 less. Everything else either had way too low of a rise, or I couldn't fit over my booty. I had one pair of jeans that my calf was too big for- I couldn't get it up any further than that. </p> <p>The big bummer is that I saw a pair of straight leg, black David Kahn's on ebay for $35 this morning, I almost bought them, but hubby told me to wait until we went shopping today. Of course, by the time we got home they were gone. I found another pair of David Kahn's on ebay- they are bootcut and a lighter wash, but they were also short inseam (which I need) also for $35 so I bought them. </p> <p>I still can't find the widget to upload picture to the computer, but I got the waterfall tee from Ann Taylor Loft in a pretty berry color:<br /> <a href="http://www.anntaylorloft.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=22872&#038;N=1200005&#038;pCategoryId=3359&#038;categoryId=204&#038;Ns=CATEGORY_SEQ_204&#038;Nty=1&#038;No=30&#038;loc=TN&#038;defaultColor=Black&#038;defaultSizeType=Regular" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylorloft.com/c.....pe=Regular</a><br /> Here are the Levi's:<br /> <a href="http://us.levi.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3823877&#038;cp=3146849.3146879.3146884.3146904" rel="nofollow">http://us.levi.com/product/ind.....84.3146904</a><br /> the dream weight silk roses tank from Express (thanks medusa!):<br /> <a href="http://www.express.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=24258&#038;parentCategoryId=2&#038;categoryId=9&#038;subCategoryId=9" rel="nofollow">http://www.express.com/catalog.....tegoryId=9</a><br /> an initial pendant from Urban Outfittersfor dd's birthday in May (thanks again medusa!):<br /> <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?itemdescription=true&#038;itemCount=60&#038;startValue=1&#038;selectedProductColor=&#038;sortby=&#038;id=17338724&#038;parentid=W_ACC_NECKLACE_CHARM&#038;sortProperties=+subCategoryPosition,+product.marketingPriority,-product.startDate&#038;navCount=54&#038;navAction=poppushpushpush&#038;color=&#038;pushId=W_ACC_NECKLACE_CHARM&#038;popId=W_ACC_NECKLACE&#038;prepushId=WOMENS_ACCESSORIES" rel="nofollow">http://www.urbanoutfitters.com.....CCESSORIES</a><br /> and a pretty triple strand gold and pearl necklace.<br /> I also came home to my denim jacket.
