Still mulling on the skirt and the sweater but #1 and #2 are definite keepers.</p> <p>Gail, this is the skirt...I'm having a hard time getting finds to work on it:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-regular-petite/3426834?origin=category-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=BLACK&amp;resultback=801"><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-regular-petite/3426834?origin=category-perso" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ha.....gory-perso</a>...</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-big-wave-is-here-hits-misses-and-reviews#post-1525464 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 02:14:19 +0000 Jaime 1525464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first two are no brainers clearly. Both are spectacular on you. The only other thing that I especially like is the waterfall cardigan - if you wear that style and it makes your eyes pop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-big-wave-is-here-hits-misses-and-reviews#post-1525455 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 02:02:14 +0000 Banoffi 1525455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree about the leopard scarf and fuchsia sweater. &nbsp;You look radiant in both! &nbsp;I also think the pencil skirt and waterfall cardigan look great on you. &nbsp;All of these are keepers.</p> <p><div>If you're not comfortable with #4 and #5 then I think you should return them. Maybe it's just the angle of the ombre dress photo, but I agree that something isn't quite right on the top part.</p> <p>4 out of 7 is very good hit rate!</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-big-wave-is-here-hits-misses-and-reviews#post-1525443 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 01:43:06 +0000 Lisa 1525443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 and 2, I gasped, both are lovely on you!&nbsp; Great finds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-big-wave-is-here-hits-misses-and-reviews#post-1525437 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 01:33:46 +0000 Gail Mcnulty 1525437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love to know the brand of the black pencil skirt. Sounds like it would work for me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-big-wave-is-here-hits-misses-and-reviews#post-1525427 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 01:03:54 +0000 Beth Ann 1525427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried the green waterfall tunic with grey or raspberry?&nbsp; I think it might be more of neutral than you think.&nbsp; It's a very feminine shape, too, which I like.</p> <p>This first batch is fantastic!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-big-wave-is-here-hits-misses-and-reviews#post-1525417 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 00:49:12 +0000 Anonymous 1525417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with everyone else. 1-4 are my favorites on you. If the cardigan is the color of your eyes and brings out their color, keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-big-wave-is-here-hits-misses-and-reviews#post-1525413 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 00:36:56 +0000 Traci 1525413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're off to a great start! I think you made all the right choices.</p> <p>On the dress, I think the accent part of the fabric print is hitting you a hair too low. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-big-wave-is-here-hits-misses-and-reviews#post-1525407 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 00:24:41 +0000 Aida 1525407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The scarf and raspberry tunic are perfect for you. I like the pencil skirt too, sharp but not too "pencily". Am I understanding that it sit lower on your hips rather than higher and at the waist? I enjoy wearing my pencil skirts like this as well since I'm short-waisted. Waterfall cardi looks good if you wear cardigans, a very lovely and unique (hard to find) shade of green. Even better that your eyes are this color! I think the dress <i>looks</i> very good on you, but not worth keeping if you don't feel good in it. First wave was quite successful!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-big-wave-is-here-hits-misses-and-reviews#post-1525402 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 00:17:03 +0000 MsMaven 1525402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the scarf and the dress, which I think is great on you from this view, and the pink top is gorgeous with your coloring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-big-wave-is-here-hits-misses-and-reviews#post-1525390 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 23:55:50 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1525390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the leopard scarf, pink top and green sweater the best on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-big-wave-is-here-hits-misses-and-reviews#post-1525349 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 22:55:50 +0000 Anonymous 1525349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1-3 are my favorites</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-big-wave-is-here-hits-misses-and-reviews#post-1525344 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 22:48:40 +0000 rachylou 1525344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 &amp; 2 are knockout. 3 looks like a workhorse. Agree about the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-big-wave-is-here-hits-misses-and-reviews#post-1525337 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 22:41:55 +0000 carter 1525337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I love everything EXCEPT the Vince pants. Perfect example of different shapes. On me, with plentiful hips and thighs, these are quite slim! Next. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-big-wave-is-here-hits-misses-and-reviews#post-1525307 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 21:39:37 +0000 AviaMariah 1525307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 1, 2, 4 &amp; 6 on you. &nbsp;I think that dress looks great but maybe you're seeing something IRL that's not coming across in the photo. &nbsp;The cardigan looks great and I find cardigans to be very useful but you'll have to decide if you'll wear it. &nbsp;Yay on the scarf and knitwear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-big-wave-is-here-hits-misses-and-reviews#post-1525298 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 21:26:56 +0000 Angie 1525298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the scarf and fuchsia pullover. Wow. Killer pieces on you. You are GLOWING. The NAS agrees with you, Peri.&nbsp;</p> <p>The pencil skirt looks great. That's a fab little outfit right there in #3. The shifting around of the waist is quite normal. Don't do yoga in that skirt.&nbsp;</p> <p>Super waterfall cardi. Lovely that it matches your eyes. (You're forgiven for ordering the Leith in black. Hope you sized down - it runs big).&nbsp;</p> <p>The dress looks lovely too. But do send it back because it doesn't make you happy.&nbsp;</p> <p>Try these NYDJs Ponte Pants if the EF leggings don't work out. Has worked on apple shapes too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-big-wave-is-here-hits-misses-and-reviews#post-1525294 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 21:13:08 +0000 Peri 1525294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first batch of boxes arrived today. Hah...many more are coming! But here are some reviews of the first order. I feel like this is late! I guess mine took longer than some others!</p> <p>Definite Keeps!</p> <p>Pic 1...HEWI!!! I've been looking for a leopard scarf for 3 years now but all the ones I saw leaned brown-yellow and I wanted black-grey. This one is perfection. I was afraid to get my hopes up because it is wool, but it is tissue thin and soft as silk, no itch in sight.<br />Pic 2...exactly fits my main goal...lightweight knitwear. This is the perfect weight for my winters and my favorite color too! I like it so much that white is on its way.</p> <p>On the fence, got some questions:</p> <p>Pic 3...I could use a black pencil skirt. I have one but it is fairly short. This one seems good but I'm not sure if it is great. It is more straight than pencil, but true pencils never fit me that well...like whatever snugs a behind is also going to snug an apple belly. This one is fairly loose...comfortable sitting on my hips. but if I pull it up to waist level I can twist it around without unzipping. I'm sure they are "supposed" to fit tighter, but I don't like tight, so I don't know what to think. How is the length...falling where it should?<br />Pic 4...I got interested in a waterfall cardigan by contagion...seeing everyone else posting them! This is my favorite shade of green, actually my eye color, but I'm not sure how useful it will be. Cozy and comfy, but I don't know how well it will play with whatever I could put under it. Black would be easy, and I do have the black Leith Angie pick on the way (even though she said the other colors were better than black, sorry Angie, I didn't like them!).&nbsp;</p> <p>Probably not, got some more questions:</p> <p>Pic 5...Too big and just not me. Cozy and comfy and it was fun putting it on, but I'm just not feeling it. What do you think?<br />Pic 6...I love this dress on two other Fab women and think it looks so flattering and slimming on them. So why does it look so un-slimming on me?! I feel very busty-bombshell in it and that is not a look I'm happy with. Is it worth sizing up or is it just not my dress?</p> <p>No:</p> <p>Pic 7...these are Carter's VC pants. Why are they so lumpy-baggy in the legs? The next size down does that a little less but feels yucky snug everywhere else. So still striking out on skinnies, but the EF ones are on the way.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sending back the Halogen Cashmere sweater, didn't really take a pic. I have confessed to not needing more cashmere, so it would have to be total love to keep it, and it wasn't. Too oversized, too deep in the V, just not that special to me.&nbsp;</p> <p>And I'm not even going to show you the KK dress. Massive fail. Very bombshell-clingy-VPL-badness!</p> <p>Now, how's that for major shopping? And really, two more big waves on the way. I did say earlier I was going wild!</p> <p> </p>
