Your new purchases are excellent and I do think the plaid trouser and maroon sweater is fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shopping-pt-2#post-2068462 Sun, 13 Oct 2019 05:41:35 +0000 Liesbeth 2068462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone!<br /> Jess: these pants are from c&amp;a, last season's collection bought on sale, I'm afraid they will no longer be in stock.<br /> The print on the blouse looks like a miniature windowpane to me, but I'm by no means a pattern expert ;). I just know I like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shopping-pt-2#post-2068440 Sun, 13 Oct 2019 02:19:19 +0000 Jaime 2068440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first outfit is outstanding! Fantastic that you have found these at a sustainable brand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shopping-pt-2#post-2068414 Sat, 12 Oct 2019 23:10:25 +0000 SarahD8 2068414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic finds! I echo other posters -- that first outfit is absolutely to die for.</p> <p>I like the button-up shirt, too. I think it is the pattern that I call gingham. Funny how many different words there are for these things! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shopping-pt-2#post-2068410 Sat, 12 Oct 2019 22:55:34 +0000 Anonymous 2068410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Trousers like this are not easy to wear and you've nailed it here. The perfect mix of slouch and fit. &nbsp;Lovely with the sweater too ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shopping-pt-2#post-2068403 Sat, 12 Oct 2019 22:29:28 +0000 Suz 2068403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Liesbeth</b>, you look sensational in that sweater and in the pants. No wonder you went a little crazy with the shopping. This is the best time to do it -- when you have a voucher to reduce the cost <b>and </b>when items that really suit you are in the stores! The pants are way more than JFE -- I'd call them super flattering and trendy. Brava!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shopping-pt-2#post-2068402 Sat, 12 Oct 2019 22:18:51 +0000 Anonymous 2068402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outfit #2 is my favorite, where are the jeans from and what cut? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shopping-pt-2#post-2068377 Sat, 12 Oct 2019 18:41:24 +0000 Susie 2068377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE outfit 1 on you!

Awesome that you love 1, which I'll wear just so! As long as I'm not blushing (which happens easily lol), burgundy does seem to work for me and I'm making the most of it for as long as the right shade can still be found. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shopping-pt-2#post-2068108 Fri, 11 Oct 2019 16:22:51 +0000 RobinF 2068108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree these are great additions! I love that shape of pant and the top is a really nice color on you. Like the plaid too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shopping-pt-2#post-2068106 Fri, 11 Oct 2019 16:17:20 +0000 nemosmom 2068106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That burgundy is STUNNING on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shopping-pt-2#post-2068078 Fri, 11 Oct 2019 14:28:14 +0000 Angie 2068078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What <b>Brooklyn</b> said! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shopping-pt-2#post-2068071 Fri, 11 Oct 2019 14:06:48 +0000 notsaf 2068071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pants!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shopping-pt-2#post-2068067 Fri, 11 Oct 2019 13:43:29 +0000 DeAnna 2068067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Love the pants on you, you look great! <br /></div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shopping-pt-2#post-2068066 Fri, 11 Oct 2019 13:33:01 +0000 citygirldc 2068066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gotta love a good pair of plaid pants and they look great on you.&nbsp; Which reminds me...I still have an old JCrew pair in a red plaid (that hopefully still fits). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shopping-pt-2#post-2068063 Fri, 11 Oct 2019 13:23:57 +0000 Kyle 2068063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE those plaid pants.

You look absolutely wonderful in these, particularly outfit #1.</p> <p>YES! This is exactly what store vouchers are for and this is mindful shopping - I predict that you will wear these pieces often and feel fabulous when you do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shopping-pt-2#post-2068031 Fri, 11 Oct 2019 11:01:49 +0000 Anonymous 2068031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wowsers, fantastic pants on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shopping-pt-2#post-2068024 Fri, 11 Oct 2019 10:21:40 +0000 Liesbeth 2068024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bonus: created a little 'checks' collection!<br /> <a href="https://youlookfab.com/finds/collections/?collection=7894" rel="nofollow">https://youlookfab.com/finds/c.....ction=7894</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shopping-pt-2#post-2068023 Fri, 11 Oct 2019 10:19:29 +0000 Liesbeth 2068023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You may remember that I did quite a bit of shopping in September, spending my budget up until November. Still, this week I found myself with some store credit for a favorite sustainable fashion store. I could have used it sensibly on some bike gear. I didn’t.</p> <p>These three items are otherwise a bit above my budget. Isn’t that the exact situation for which to use vouchers/store credit?</p> <p>Item 1 is a windowpane shirt. It’s a bit oversized in cut, but not too much. The fabric is cotton but feels soft and airy like viscose. I’m hoping it will be durable, as I can see myself living in this in slightly warmer months. Not really a fall winter item, yet the right windowpane shirt has been a bit of a HEWI for me these last years so I couldn’t walk away.</p> <p>Item 2 is a pair of plaid cropped trousers. I consider them JFE and I love them for being the closest to true forties tomboy style I will probably ever get, with their stiff fabric and straight cut. The plaid consists of a mushroom base with a pine green and a burgundy stripe. I’ll wear these trousers with a pine green sweater, with my new beige cardi, and with … item no. 3!</p> <p>Item 3 is a beautiful mock neck cotton knit. The brand Armed Angels (of which I’m a fan, if you can’t tell) has had this model around for one or two years, but so far I never found the color selection just right. Now I find it in burgundy, an essential FW color of mine (of which the blue based variety is quickly disappearing from stores), and an exact match for the trousers I got … So of course I couldn’t resist.</p> <p>Excuse the weird fitting room pics ;)</p> <p>Although I have to be mindful about my shopping habits going further towards the end of 2019, I think I’m making purchases that hit the mark both emotionally and rationally. I’ve been wanting to add more color and print to my wardrobe and the majority of my recent purchases fit that bill. I’ve also really been leaning into my forties tomboy moniker (although there’s also a large dose of nineties throwback in the mix), because I’m feeling ever more comfortable in those type of outfits. So all in all, I’m pretty psyched! </p>
