They told me they would hold it for 24 hours. I was there at 7:00pm, ergo the coat should have still been on hold. Thank goodness no one stole it from me!</p> <p>It is definitely my coat too, because the one I tried yesterday did not have a tag. </p> <p>Thank you for your monumental efforts, Zap. I still insist on a lunch, if only because a) you're seriously the first person in the area to actually post regularly on YLF, and b) I would like to wear my new coat to lunch I promise I won't chastise you for any potential errors in etiquette, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-2010/page/3#post-259671 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 18:12:23 +0000 Anonymous 259671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Formal update to Maya and Readership from an actual computer:</p> <p>Ok, so it turns out they could not find your hold anywhere. They believe this new guy reracked the coats by mistake.... NO KIDDING!</p> <p>Anyhow, since I had to turn around, I left both the XS and the S on hold until tomorrow. The lady at the register promised me she will personally make sure the coats stay there until you pick them up.</p> <p>The S has no tags. That's another reason why I left them both on hold.</p> <p>The hold is under "Maya". They asked for a phone number, I gave my cell. PM me if you need it tomorrow. I"m glued to my phone so I won't miss it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-2010/page/3#post-259652 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 17:49:04 +0000 Maya 259652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, S. Are there 2 being held then? Sorry I know you're typing this from your phone. Feel free to answer later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-2010/page/3#post-259644 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 17:35:26 +0000 Vani 259644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely the red. Sorry I didn't even check the comments to see if you've already purchased a coat. But I just had to chime in to tell you how beautiful the red coat looks on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-2010/page/3#post-259640 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 17:31:38 +0000 Anonymous 259640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No maya. They reshelved your hold .im putting a new hold for the small.

Yesterday they only had an XS and S. I hope the S on the rack isn't the one I had held...</p> <p>Thanks Zap! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-2010/page/3#post-259636 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 17:26:45 +0000 Anonymous 259636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya they put your hold back but i found the coat in small ans xtra small.

Im still at the store plz let me knw. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-2010/page/3#post-259583 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 16:04:37 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 259583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Argh - I hate cliffhangers!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-2010/page/3#post-259569 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 15:49:23 +0000 Maya 259569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, and you can tell them they can re-rack the black and white tweed one (I had them both held). If they're stubborn, tell them I will be there at around 9:30-10:00 in the morning to pick it up, and I fully intend to buy it. I am just not in the city today so I can't come.</p> <p>If you're in the mood you can also lambaste them for not answering the phone :p</p> <p>Thanks for your help! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-2010/page/3#post-259567 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 15:46:20 +0000 Anonymous 259567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Consider it done... no lunch required... I know exactly where they are. I just need to extend the hold until tomorrow, right? I should be there by 12:30. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-2010/page/3#post-259558 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 15:39:53 +0000 Maya 259558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zap, if you have the time and the desire to go, no problem. I am not gracious enough to resist when it comes to something I REALLY want :p</p> <p>But I don't want you to go out of your way. It would take a lot for me to volunteer to deal with Macy's...but I am a shopping wuss I guess.</p> <p>If you do end up going (for which I would be most grateful), they are being held--perhaps unimaginitively--under "Maya." 8th floor, 7th avenue side. If you go from the Broadway entrance, you'll find yourself in the fancy housewares and bridal salon, but you can easily walk from there, past the Au Bon Pain.</p> <p>If you go, thanks (and I owe you a lunch to make up for the one you lost), and if not, no worries at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-2010/page/3#post-259541 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 15:16:07 +0000 Anonymous 259541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you sure? Its not a big deal really... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-2010/page/3#post-259539 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 15:13:57 +0000 Maya 259539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zap, that's very kind of you but I don't want you to waste your lunch time. Just getting through the store is a 15 minute journey! Go have a nice lunch instead :p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-2010/page/3#post-259536 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 15:11:10 +0000 Anonymous 259536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya i could pass by at lunch time. Im two quick train stops from there. Let me know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-2010/page/3#post-259532 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 15:06:09 +0000 Maya 259532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm literally sitting here on YLF and calling in 15 minute intervals. Still no response...</p> <p>I'm not holding out much hope. Somehow I imagine the phone being stuffed in a shoebox and buried under the floor so no one has to deal with fussy old ladies like me. </p> <p>Since they do not sell S&amp;K on their website, and not all stores carry them, I will probably miss out if I don't get this one. The only other place that I could find that sells it is the S&amp;K website, but I can't afford it full price (and $19 for shipping!).</p> <p>If that's the case, I'll have to mull over whether or not I go for the tweed one instead...</p> <p>Edit: I am sitting here with my phone on speaker and just letting it ring. It has been ringing for over 2 minutes. I really do not think there is anyone within earshot of this phone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-2010/page/3#post-259528 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 15:01:42 +0000 Sarah 259528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I love the black and white coat. But on you? The red. Absopositivelylutely.</p> <p>PS: And now I just read the rest of the conversation, and eek I hope you can get it!! </p>
