I wear a medium and it was perfect (other than the long sleeves). Just to clarify this blazer is not the ponte knit one also in tomato red. This one is a cotton/polyester blend, dry clean only. I'm thrilled with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-time#post-633563 Thu, 31 May 2012 15:00:29 +0000 Anonymous 633563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's amazing how the perfect items turn up at great sale prices when one is on SYC. Go for it.<br /> I checked out the red blazer on the Gap site and it's not on sale there except for 15% off today...not enough. It looks like it's also available in petite and in off-white. How was the sizing for you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-time#post-633523 Thu, 31 May 2012 14:09:01 +0000 Meredith1953 633523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That clutch is very cute!

For whatever reason, the material and dyes used are nowhere near the quality of the natural, brown and black ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-time#post-633354 Thu, 31 May 2012 06:16:37 +0000 catgirl 633354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is an AWESOME clutch.</p> <p>I wish I had something to confess but the truth is that nothing has worked for me and it's all going back. *sniffle* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-time#post-633340 Thu, 31 May 2012 05:43:46 +0000 Mo 633340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, I stuck to my May budget mostly! I am over $8 for the paper bag dress, I think. Or wait, did I get my blue ankle boots in April? Hmm, maybe I am over . . . if I ask my mom for just a Visa gift card instead of trying to find the perfect *whatever*, I can cover the boots and only be $22 into June, counting the amount over my WBMIL's gift I spent on my Express suit.<br /> I'm happy with that.<br /> I hope all your new picks work out great Shannon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-time#post-633338 Thu, 31 May 2012 05:36:32 +0000 CocoLion 633338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great choice and great price too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-time#post-633335 Thu, 31 May 2012 05:25:03 +0000 Deborah 633335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon the clutch is just gorgeous. I bought a red croc print one recently (I had it in today's WIW) and I can't tell you how much I love using it. I like them big. Mine is the size of an A4 sheet of paper and I think they look very stylish. I think you will enjoy this. Can't wait to see it feature in a WIW!</p> <p>As an aside... did any of us stick to SYC lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-time#post-633301 Thu, 31 May 2012 03:43:34 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 633301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too was bad. I went and ordered me (another) Halogen skirt in black this time and the Gibson one button structured jacket. I felt like a good, plain black blazer was needed. I have one now but I tried it on this weekend in hopes of wearing it to the workshop I was teaching.</p> <p>Ugh, so boxy. New one ordered! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-time#post-633284 Thu, 31 May 2012 03:21:40 +0000 cheryl 633284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great clutch.

And then there is the pending net-a-porter sale items, which I'm still hemming and hawing about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-time#post-632917 Wed, 30 May 2012 20:36:40 +0000 Transcona Shannon 632917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep - we're a pitiful pair aren't we Rae???

Not sure what I am keeping yet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-time#post-632869 Wed, 30 May 2012 19:55:21 +0000 Abie 632869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OOOh, I LOVE the clutch. I have been toying with the idea of a daytime clutch myself. I must admit I am not really a bag person, I usually just carry one and don't switch out unless I have to for an evening outfit or something.</p> <p>I carry a big tote to work and I usually stick my purse in it. On the weekends I usually have a diaper bag with me if we are out and about and my purse goes in that or the stroller. A clutch would be easy to put in larger bags but still stylish to carry around. *ponder* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-time#post-632867 Wed, 30 May 2012 19:51:36 +0000 Anonymous 632867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am very eery of bright colors on my bottom half, since I have pear tendencies. I don't like to highlight the tush.<br /> I am giving colored pants another go. I do that a lot, I will buy something to give it a try at home and if in two weeks it does get worn, it goes back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-time#post-632863 Wed, 30 May 2012 19:48:19 +0000 Transcona Shannon 632863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm still waiting for the elusive J Jill silk blouses...so much for SYC (ha ha ha)!</p> <p>Zap - why are you unsure about keeping the red trousers? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-time#post-632860 Wed, 30 May 2012 19:41:55 +0000 Anonymous 632860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey Rae, don't feel bad. I have the following in route:<br /> 1 dress ( 6pm)<br /> 2 pairs of sandals (Steve Madden and Miz Mooz)<br /> 1 pair of cognac booties from Steve Madden, originally $175 - on sale for $45.<br /> The MIA lace up boots GP has, in a natural color, I have the black already and at $50 I could not pass them up.<br /> 1 colored skinnies (AE)<br /> 1 white blazer (AE)<br /> 1 canary yellow blazer (Zara)<br /> and sunglasses (Ray Ban aviators) on the way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-time#post-632859 Wed, 30 May 2012 19:40:41 +0000 rae 632859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AAAh, look at that cute cobalt strip of zipper! It's so cute; I hope it works for you!</p> <p>While we are in the virtual confessional booth, I counted and I'm currently waiting on 7 items to arrive in the mail. OY. I don't know what I'll do if I want to keep it all. </p> <p>Can't wait to see that bright red blazer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-time#post-632858 Wed, 30 May 2012 19:40:33 +0000 Anonymous 632858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The clutch looks superb and a great match to the KS pumps. I am so glad they worked for you.<br /> I know exactly which blazer you are talking about. I bought the matching tomato red trouser pants, while I was in LA. It was the day after I met the fab LA contingent. I am still not sure if I'm keeping them though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-time#post-632852 Wed, 30 May 2012 19:33:53 +0000 Jonesy 632852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore the snakeskin clutch--areyoukiddinme?? The jacket sounds fab too. I would think that that color would be smashing on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-time#post-632849 Wed, 30 May 2012 19:32:57 +0000 Transcona Shannon 632849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's not a cropped blazer but it's definitely shorter than my new magenta one. I like having ones at different lengths and it looked great over my black dress. You were soooooo right! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-time#post-632846 Wed, 30 May 2012 19:31:13 +0000 modgrl 632846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh!! It will be great on you!! I saw the tomato red skirts at the Gap today. It is a gorgeous color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-time#post-632843 Wed, 30 May 2012 19:26:25 +0000 Transcona Shannon 632843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So when I placed my Nordstrom order for a spare pair of the Wit &amp; Wisdom skinny jeans, I also ordered this clutch. I have put this clutch in my cart and taken it out again at least 4 times since I first saw it. I love the yellow with the cobalt blue and the size is fab. But I decided a while ago to try out a daytime clutch first at a lower price point in case I really didn't like using one. So I bought my faux leather one that I'm using today and have found I really enjoy having a change from a regular handbag and now wanted to purchase a real leather one. Imagine my glee when I saw the pretty one I've always wanted now part of the sale so I ordered it. It won't be everyone's idea of a pretty bag, but I'm thrilled and can see it paired with the KS cobalt pumps.</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/trouve-soft-leather-clutch/3217585?origin=category&#038;fashionColor=YELLOW%2F+COBALT&#038;resultback=6875" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/tr.....tback=6875</a></p> <p>I also went to Gap at lunch time today to return the size larger in the new yellow striped sweater I just got. I always order two sizes and then just return the one that doesn't fit. While there I found a vivid tomato red blazer that was marked down to the same price as the sweater I was returning. I figure since I'd already paid for the sweater I wasn't going to miss not getting the credit, so did a straight swap. Plus I found a fab loose knit black/red/white pull over sweater at serious discount and picked that up too. Pics will be coming later tonight as I'm at work with no camera.</p> <p>P.S. Rita - I thought of you when I saw the red blazer - it's an extremely saturated colour (lol)! </p>
