I adore the blue top - it is the most delicious colour and can envisage your new jacket being incredibly versatile. I look forward to seeing you style your new clothes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothing-swap-success-yay-or-nay#post-394105 Fri, 29 Jul 2011 23:53:42 +0000 Debora 394105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did well, Deborah! The tops, skirt and jacket are lovely and I hope we get to see them on. I like the idea of the banded top...you know, surrendering the waist and all. I'm glad your swap was a success. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothing-swap-success-yay-or-nay#post-394103 Fri, 29 Jul 2011 23:27:19 +0000 Atlantia 394103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that skirt! I haven't yet found a banded bottom top that works for me, but I keep trying because I like the look on others so much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothing-swap-success-yay-or-nay#post-394036 Fri, 29 Jul 2011 20:30:27 +0000 Lynne 394036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done for being so strict with your standards, I can't wait to see these on! I love love love the colours of the blouses, so I'm really hoping that they work! I love the Chanel vibe of the fringing on the jacket - gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothing-swap-success-yay-or-nay#post-394032 Fri, 29 Jul 2011 20:20:43 +0000 amyreh 394032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like you found some great things if they fit well! I agree to give that blue top a chance tucked in. Love the skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothing-swap-success-yay-or-nay#post-393927 Fri, 29 Jul 2011 16:03:19 +0000 rae 393927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These all look really fun - but trying on is the real test. Glad you had a good swap! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothing-swap-success-yay-or-nay#post-393865 Fri, 29 Jul 2011 14:15:34 +0000 Freckles 393865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice selection. The colours look really interesting and that black skirt is stunning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothing-swap-success-yay-or-nay#post-393838 Fri, 29 Jul 2011 12:39:54 +0000 Suz 393838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Re the top with band: I have something similar, slightly different since it is not a wide band but a narrow one, meant to make the blouse...uh...BLOUSE, if you know what I mean. In the store I thought it looked fine, but at home I worried a bit that it looked dumb. However, I've since found that it tucks really well, and I can also wear it out for a change of pace; it sort of mimics the "semi-tuck" look without the semi-tucking. </p> <p>The value of a swap is that you can branch out and try things that might not be your first choice in the store. And (if lucky) you can also stock up on basics. It looks as if you have done a bit of both here. </p> <p>I think these are all potentially great swaps, and it will be fun to see what you do with them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothing-swap-success-yay-or-nay#post-393830 Fri, 29 Jul 2011 12:00:51 +0000 Erin 393830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they all look good on the hangers but on is always the real test. That skirt makes my heart go pitter-patter </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothing-swap-success-yay-or-nay#post-393815 Fri, 29 Jul 2011 11:19:39 +0000 Deborah 393815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Dianthus, thank you. I agree re the band on that top. I don't normally wear this style but i think I can tuck the top or wear as is under a jacket. Will have play with it and see:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothing-swap-success-yay-or-nay#post-393813 Fri, 29 Jul 2011 11:15:22 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 393813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only piece I'm not sure of is the teal/blue top. I find tops with bands at the bottom can be tricky to wear. I really like the skirt very much. It is a great basic with a bit of personality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothing-swap-success-yay-or-nay#post-393812 Fri, 29 Jul 2011 11:11:40 +0000 Deborah 393812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Had a clothing swap with a group of girlfriends today and this is what I came home with:). I was very disciplined and made sure all pieces fitted properly and are in good condition. Two of the garments are in fact new. Jacket fits nicely at the waist and the red shirt has more shape when on. Will post some photos of items styled but hoped for your input on the individual pieces. All are fairly current but wanted to make sure nothing looked dated, etc. I'm also attempting to add colour to my wardrobe hence the blouses (I'm ash blond so think these colours will work).</p> <p>Thanks ladies, any thoughts, opinions would be very welcome:) </p>
