There is a grey ruffle military jacket that is DIVINE - woven. I know it's not right for work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeing-some-express-stuff-input-needed#post-207622 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 23:24:08 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 207622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh, sweeeeeet...</p> <p>*ahem* or whatevs.</p> <p>;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeing-some-express-stuff-input-needed#post-207619 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 23:22:16 +0000 Tanya 207619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>He he, MPJ, I did happen to slide my eyes over them, don't really know why The material was quite nice, on the thicker side, like a ponte knit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeing-some-express-stuff-input-needed#post-207614 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 23:07:39 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 207614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you happen to slide your eyes across the black "sexy moto leggings" which I absolutely do not need and will not be ordering. probably not. most likely maybe not. </p> <p>so there.</p> <p>:-P </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeing-some-express-stuff-input-needed#post-207602 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 22:46:42 +0000 Tanya 207602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, I have just come back from the mall, and this is what I found:</p> <p>1. The silk shirt is really pretty and nicely made. It does run small in the chest area - I could just about button it over my thinnest non-padded bra. The store only had olive and cream so I will be ordering one online. Still trying to decide between indigo and windsor blue.</p> <p>2. The moto skinnies were so-so. They only had large sizes so I did not try them on. But I did not like the denim at all so I am not getting those. I guess years of buying premium denim only have spoiled me.</p> <p>3. Did not like the knitted jacket in grey, it looked much better in black. I got a greyish knitted jacket/sweater from Zara that I will be posting soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeing-some-express-stuff-input-needed#post-207548 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 18:39:24 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 207548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya - I, too, shall remain silk military-blouseless...I can't do dry-clean only for non-outerwear stuff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeing-some-express-stuff-input-needed#post-207546 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 18:13:09 +0000 Maya 207546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I shan't be getting the military shirt Reviews pretty unanimously agree it's not for the generous of bust.

Go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeing-some-express-stuff-input-needed#post-207298 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 00:52:11 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 207298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya - sorry to hijack - did you order this from VS?<br /> <a href="http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss/Satellite?pagename=vsdonlineshop/vsdEditFromViewBag&#038;namespace=shoppingBag-editProduct&#038;origin=viewBag.jsp&#038;event=link.productEdit&#038;from=viewBag" rel="nofollow">http://www.victoriassecret.com.....om=viewBag</a></p> <p>I have been looking for a shirtdress...will be interested in your review! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeing-some-express-stuff-input-needed#post-207284 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 00:31:19 +0000 April 207284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya -- I have the military silk blouse in the olive color. Haven't worn it yet (still too hot in my non-air-conditioned office) but it makes me happy to see it in my closet.</p> <p>As for a gray knitted jacket, I got this one when it first went on sale: <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?itemdescription=true&#038;itemCount=80&#038;startValue=321&#038;selectedProductColor=&#038;sortby=&#038;id=18107862&#038;parentid=SALE_W_CLOTHING&#038;sortProperties=+subCategoryPosition,+product.marketingPriority&#038;navCount=385&#038;navAction=poppushpush&#038;color=&#038;pushId=SALE_W_CLOTHING&#038;popId=SALE_W&#038;prepushId=&#038;selectedProductSize=" rel="nofollow">http://www.urbanoutfitters.com.....oductSize=</a></p> <p>The "washed black" color is actually gray. The smallest size they have now is Medium, but I will say that this jacket runs small and cheeky -- might be worth a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeing-some-express-stuff-input-needed#post-207283 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 00:18:26 +0000 Lena 207283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the military blouse. I have one and they are so useful and fun. They keep updating them in new colors every season - too addictive, hee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeing-some-express-stuff-input-needed#post-206901 Sat, 28 Aug 2010 03:14:22 +0000 bella 206901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Internet ate my response.<br /> I was saying that the first two blouses are calling your name! The military jacket is gorgeous and is going on my wishlist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeing-some-express-stuff-input-needed#post-206893 Sat, 28 Aug 2010 02:17:12 +0000 Tanya 206893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie! I guess I will wait and see how I like the denim shirt dress I have ordered. So you think it would be too much to have both a denim one and a purple one?</p> <p>I hear you on the military jacket. I really want a grey knitted jacket. Maybe I should go for blazer style like this instead:</p> <p><a href="http://www.espritshop.com/Shop/PicProductFrontView/GO1411_098.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.espritshop.com/Shop.....11_098.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeing-some-express-stuff-input-needed#post-206886 Sat, 28 Aug 2010 01:49:51 +0000 Angie 206886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see you rock all these looks, Tanya! Here is my 2 cents:</p> <p>1. Windsor blue and wild Orchid get my vote for the military silk blouse. I also love the Indigo. </p> <p>2. I vote pass on the purple shirt dress if you keep the denim on efrom VS. </p> <p>3. The Millitary jacket looks very similar. I vote pass and wait for something else</p> <p>4. Try the moto jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeing-some-express-stuff-input-needed#post-206870 Sat, 28 Aug 2010 01:14:00 +0000 Tanya 206870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Megan, it looks that we are black shirt dress twins! </p> <p>That is precisely my dilemma - I do not know if I will be able to find another purple shirt dress. If I knew I would, then I would pass this one, and If I knew I won't then I would be getting it. So I just do not know at the moment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeing-some-express-stuff-input-needed#post-206853 Sat, 28 Aug 2010 00:42:32 +0000 Megan 206853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the silk blouse- I have the stretch cotton version of that shirt in Indigo and like it a lot!</p> <p>I have that shirtdress in black I think the general rule about duplicating is don't buy the same item in different colours....but do you think you'll have much luck getting a purple dress elsewhere? </p> <p>Love the grey jacket and the motos </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeing-some-express-stuff-input-needed#post-206843 Sat, 28 Aug 2010 00:27:34 +0000 Tanya 206843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have just received some very good Express coupons in the mail, and am going there this weekend to check some stuff out. I would be curious to know what do you think about the following:</p> <p>1. Military silk blouse:</p> <p><a href="http://www.express.com/military-silk-blouse-28161-16.pro?productVariantId=147528&#038;quantity=1&#038;itemGUID=a6b09f21c0a8ab69019845fbe5e9103e" rel="nofollow">http://www.express.com/militar.....fbe5e9103e</a></p> <p>I have tried it on the last time I was there and really like it and am definitely getting it. I am undecided about the color: should I get in indigo to wear with my blacks, or olive to wear with my purples, or cream to wear with anything?</p> <p>2. Purple shirt dress (in currant):</p> <p><a href="http://www.express.com/long-sleeve-military-shirt-dress-28032-22.pro#jsLink" rel="nofollow">http://www.express.com/long-sl.....pro#jsLink</a></p> <p>I have a purple shirt dress on my fall shopping list and this one definitely fits the bill. However, I have gotten the black version two months ago (they did not have the purple then). I love the black one and wear it fairly often ( for me). Is it silly to get the exactly same model and should I hold out for another purple one elsewhere? Or is a purple shirt dress a purple shirt dress, how different can it be?</p> <p>3. Grey knitted jacket:</p> <p><a href="http://www.express.com/piped-military-jacket-28672-32.pro?Mcat=32&#038;Mcatp=cat_2&#038;Mppg=0&#038;Mpos=12&#038;Mcatn=Jackets+%26+Outerwear&#038;Mcatpn=category&#038;Mpg=SEARCH%2BNAV&#038;Mpper=3&#038;user_att_name=Interest&#038;user_att_value=Email&#038;Mrsaa=*&#038;Mrsavf=*#jsLink" rel="nofollow">http://www.express.com/piped-m.....f=*#jsLink</a></p> <p>Love it, and it would be very useful - I have to come to realize that knitted jackets and cardis with blazer shapes are the most useful for my work dress code. Also, military style is something I would always wear, not only now when it is in fashion. However, is it too similar to this one in black I got last year?</p> <p><a href="http://www.express.com/double-breasted-military-jacket-22046-32.pro?Mcat=32&#038;Mcatp=cat_2&#038;Mppg=0&#038;Mpos=39&#038;Mcatn=Jackets+%26+Outerwear&#038;Mcatpn=category&#038;Mpg=SEARCH%2BNAV&#038;Mpper=3&#038;user_att_name=Interest&#038;user_att_value=Email&#038;Mrsaa=*&#038;Mrsavf=*" rel="nofollow">http://www.express.com/double-.....8;Mrsavf=*</a></p> <p>4. Moto skinnies:</p> <p><a href="http://www.express.com/jean-moto-legging-27775-24.pro?Mppg=0&#038;Mcatpn=category&#038;Mpper=3&#038;Mcatp=cat_2&#038;Mcat=24&#038;Mpos=45&#038;Mcatn=Jeans&#038;Mpg=SEARCH%2BNAV&#038;user_att_name=Interest&#038;user_att_value=Email&#038;Mrsaa=*&#038;Mrsavf=*" rel="nofollow">http://www.express.com/jean-mo.....8;Mrsavf=*</a></p> <p>For some reason, these really appeal to me. But are they too young ( I am 32, soon to be 33)? Too trendy? How would one wear them?</p> <p>Sorry for such a long post and many thanks! </p>
