So I try not to get too invested lest I become uncritical and keep things that don't work well, but&nbsp; will hit a good essential sometimes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cycling-through-at#post-1601945 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 05:22:31 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1601945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing your experiences. The leopard dressy tee sounds nice, color-wise. I think it would be worth trying the petite. <br />When I read your title, I pictured bicycling through an Ann Taylor store, which made me smile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cycling-through-at#post-1601927 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 04:10:57 +0000 Beth Ann 1601927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the reviews, although I'm so sorry you've not had great luck with these items! &nbsp;Fortunately, it's early in the "transitional" season, and there is plenty of time to find the perfect garments for your wardrobe!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cycling-through-at#post-1601897 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 02:12:18 +0000 shaz 1601897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Phase 8 had some nice dresses with sleeves on sale if that's any help sorry to help your items weren't suitable </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cycling-through-at#post-1601893 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 02:02:02 +0000 unfrumped 1601893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie had some great picks, and I had had my eye on some and they arrived, with mixed results.</p> <p>I tried the denim shirtdress because it looked like it might be pear-friendly, but somehow it just did not fit right. It is a substantial denim, and dark, so though not dressy, does look neat and refined. Too bad.<br />I perseverated on these windowpane pants because the skirt worked great and the fabric is very interesting, thick with a bit of stretch, like a windowpane ponte almost. But the cut is wrong for me.</p> <p>Next the camel blazer because I like this type of reverse collar. Runs big so I would have to try the next size down, and I can't quite tell if that will fit the way I want it to look. Undecided about effort to do that.</p> <p>Birdseye blazer appears to be a style I like, slightly longer for pants. However, when both it and the camel&nbsp; appeared as "new arrivals", there was only one size listed for each! Then more sizes appeared for camel, then more for birdseye, days later. Weird. When I asked why there was only one size left at the beginning of the run, the SA said, "because that is the only&nbsp; &nbsp;size in stock ". Anyhoo now it is in stock, but I missed out on it with my earlier order so am&nbsp; not ready to consider it until I have the other items sorted and returned.</p> <p>Leopard T--I should probably stick to "real" (!) leopard (colors ) but I really love the colors in this T and the smallish print--the pinkish tone&nbsp;is face-flattering&nbsp; with the black, but is not actually overtly pink. I'm a bit between two Regular sizes; maybe should have tried a petite, so haven't decided which size. Don't like any pulling, but neckline is more gappin in larger size.</p> <p>Two-piece "dress"--has not yet arrived. Trying because actual dresses with sleeves are so hard, and pencil skirts tend &nbsp;to work but don't always want a separates or officey look. Polyester, though. </p>
