I think I might just be willing to pay those prices if I worked in a professional job and would wear a garment every week (but not as a SAHM) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/city-shopping-trip-2#post-83050 Thu, 30 Jul 2009 16:29:45 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 83050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was tempted to look at the Cue website today and noticed that they were promoting the fact that some/all of their clothing was made in Australia - which perhaps explains why it is more costly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/city-shopping-trip-2#post-83040 Thu, 30 Jul 2009 16:11:06 +0000 anne 83040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tam, the pants are Tokito and are in what used to be the Miss Shop section at Myer. They were about $80 which might have been a sale price. On the same rack they had a few pairs of what might have counted as microcheck pants (not in my size though) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/city-shopping-trip-2#post-82982 Thu, 30 Jul 2009 12:20:28 +0000 yublocka 82982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne I love those pants!! What brand are they? </p> <p>I agree that Cue prices are a bit nuts. I have one skirt from there, that's about it I think. Their stuff is nice, but I don't see myself paying over $100 for a boring white shirt anytime soon!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/city-shopping-trip-2#post-82967 Thu, 30 Jul 2009 09:23:07 +0000 anne 82967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a Cue red suit jacket that I bought at an Op shop. It is very 90's, (big shoulderpads. curving down at the front) and I haven't worn it for years, but I can't quite bear to get rid of it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/city-shopping-trip-2#post-82965 Thu, 30 Jul 2009 07:36:05 +0000 anne 82965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a Cue red suit jacket that I bought at an Op shop.

The pieces that I had from there always fit well and wore well too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/city-shopping-trip-2#post-82955 Thu, 30 Jul 2009 06:49:34 +0000 anne 82955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cue is great isn't it. Actually even when I worked I never felt I could afford the clothes there ( I have only one outfit from there and it was on sale and not really their typical style) I didn't know they were in NZ. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/city-shopping-trip-2#post-82773 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 17:56:07 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 82773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As a NZ expact now living in London - I miss Cue, I used to love their work wear and had a jacket from there I wore to death over 3 years! I have never managed to replace it ;(</p> <p>I really love your trousers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/city-shopping-trip-2#post-82642 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 02:20:50 +0000 anne 82642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll hem for heels Angie</p> <p>Thanks Dani! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/city-shopping-trip-2#post-82602 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 00:29:26 +0000 Angie 82602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super pants! Are you going to hem for heels or flats? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/city-shopping-trip-2#post-82573 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 21:25:48 +0000 Dani 82573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pants are very nice, Anne. They look like they fit you well, especially in the side view. I think they'll be very versatile and be great with red that you wear so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/city-shopping-trip-2#post-82522 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 16:22:28 +0000 anne 82522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just bumping before I go to bed </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/city-shopping-trip-2#post-82496 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 14:52:14 +0000 anne 82496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A while back I expressed my intention to confine most of my shopping trip to one Australian department store, Myer, as I had $240 in vouchers I could spend there. Several people had reservations about this course of action - and they were right.<br /> With the exception of the basement (youthful) section it was way out of my price range. I tried a few things on by Cue, which I loved, but didn't suit my SAHM lifestyle, and just couldn't justify, for example, $165 on a skirt.</p> <p>It isn't a big disaster. The vouchers will last and I'll try for shoes in the spring (as per I think? LOP's advice). It was a bad time of the year to shop - winter stock denuded by the big sales and lots missing in my size! </p> <p>But I did get these pants. The are very small black and white print, but look grey in the distance<br /> <a href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/100_7426.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i297.photobucket.com/al.....0_7426.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/100_7428.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i297.photobucket.com/al.....0_7428.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/100_7429.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i297.photobucket.com/al.....0_7429.jpg</a> (side view)</p> <p>These are the first dress pants costing more than $50 I have bought for 10 years because I hate buying them so much.</p> <p>The smallest size was a little tight so I went up a size. Do you think they are okay, size wise and in other respects?</p> <p>PS Click here for my first shopping trip<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-city-shopping-trip-1?replies=6" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....?replies=6</a> </p>
