It's fun to be part of a youlookfab trend. Thanks again, forum members in general and Maya in particular, for helping me get these great pants for $9! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-tam-038-sarah-further-markdown-on-club-monaco-mcs/page/2#post-75534 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 20:08:54 +0000 yublocka 75534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Medusa! They look GREAT on you!!! It's such fun seeing the same pants on so many different people! I can't wait for my own set to arrive from the lovely niva!!!!</p> <p>I'm wondering if I should have gone down to the 8 though, since most people are going for the more fitted option. Oh well!!! I'm curious, did anyone keep 2 sizes for days when you feel bigger/smaller. At $9 - why not!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-tam-038-sarah-further-markdown-on-club-monaco-mcs/page/2#post-75016 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 03:39:00 +0000 Maya 75016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look great and I'm glad I played a part in their greatness When I went there wasn't a 4 so I guess someone made a return. How fortuitous! It is all meant to be, I swear. If I saw the 4's there and tried them on, I probably would have bought them instead of the 2's. A bad idea on two levels: 1) the 4's would have been too big for me, and 2) you wouldn't have found them. I got those other pants by mistake so I could find out that the 4's were the wrong size for me. It is shopping destiny. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-tam-038-sarah-further-markdown-on-club-monaco-mcs/page/2#post-75014 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 03:23:39 +0000 Vani 75014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look awesome Medusa!!</p> <p>Maya, you are awesome!

I'm on the bandwagon!</p> <p>HUGE thanks to Maya for the info on Club Monaco stores in New York. I called the Soho store, and they still had a size 4 and 6, which were my best guesses for what I wear. I went down there this afternoon and bought the size 4. (The 6s were clearly too big.)</p> <p>But these ones might be too snug. What do you think about the fit? I get some folds around my butt.</p> <p><a href="http://s605.photobucket.com/albums/tt133/medusa_style/cm_pants/?action=view&#038;current=CIMG0197.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s605.photobucket.com/al.....MG0197.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://s605.photobucket.com/albums/tt133/medusa_style/cm_pants/?action=view&#038;current=CIMG0199.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s605.photobucket.com/al.....MG0199.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://s605.photobucket.com/albums/tt133/medusa_style/cm_pants/?action=view&#038;current=CIMG0198.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s605.photobucket.com/al.....MG0198.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://s605.photobucket.com/albums/tt133/medusa_style/cm_pants/?action=view&#038;current=CIMG0202.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s605.photobucket.com/al.....MG0202.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-tam-038-sarah-further-markdown-on-club-monaco-mcs/page/2#post-74912 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 17:41:59 +0000 medusa 74912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya - you are amazing! Thanks for the info. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-tam-038-sarah-further-markdown-on-club-monaco-mcs/page/2#post-74699 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 00:09:56 +0000 Maya 74699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Medusa, the name is the Britt Ursula. I can check my receipt for the specific number.</p> <p>Here are the NY numbers:</p> <p>Soho store (where I got mine and they had a few others): 212.941.1511<br /> Prince street: 212.533.8930<br /> Midtown: 212.459.9863<br /> Broadway: 212.579.2587<br /> Columbus Ave: 212.724.4076<br /> Third Ave: 212.355.2949<br /> Fifth ave (I would try them last--they were completely sold out but maybe someone made a return): 212.352.0936</p> <p>As for size, it seems like almost everyone that tried these were in between sizes. I would get your usual size and a size up and just return the one that doesn't fit. I think I could really have gone either way, but I ended up with the smaller size because I could not find a 4. If you are more pear-shaped or have fuller hips, I think you're more likely to size up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-tam-038-sarah-further-markdown-on-club-monaco-mcs#post-74697 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 00:02:17 +0000 medusa 74697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK - does anyone have the official product name/number on these fantastic pants? I'd like to do some calling around to New York stores to see if I can find them.</p> <p>How about sizing advice? Any size charts online anywhere? Or is there another model of their pants in a similar fit that I could try on in person? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-tam-038-sarah-further-markdown-on-club-monaco-mcs#post-73821 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 02:46:15 +0000 yublocka 73821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahah no worries Vani! I just read and replied to your email before reading this anyway. Just wanted to check I didn't accidentally delete it because I got very behind on email during the week and only just started catching up last night!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-tam-038-sarah-further-markdown-on-club-monaco-mcs#post-73670 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 13:43:34 +0000 Vani 73670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tam, you would think when I said the email is on its way, I would be diligent enough to send it out right away The pants came in this morning, and the email should be in your inbox now. I forgot to ask for your mailing address in it. I was planning to head to to PO tomorrow and I think I might need it then *g* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-tam-038-sarah-further-markdown-on-club-monaco-mcs#post-73663 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 12:31:09 +0000 yublocka 73663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So you're getting them too Maya and Sarah??? Woohoo!! This is fun!!!</p> <p>Lwc I don't know what the inseam measures, but I would say its not super long, maybe 31 or 32". I'm 5" 8 and will need to take down the hem of size 10s to make them PPL even for flats.</p> <p>Again I cannot thank you enough niva!!! Let me know once youve sent the email, haven't seen it come through yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-tam-038-sarah-further-markdown-on-club-monaco-mcs#post-73630 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 05:20:53 +0000 Maya 73630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Devin. Here's hoping the 4's will fit. I wonder what the salespeople at all these stores must be thinking when they get 4 calls a day asking for these pants to be shipped across state lines, hehe.</p> <p>I foresee a Club Monaco micro check pants thread where we all compile our pants pictures...</p> <p>For those who already have them, do you think these could function as casual pants? I was originally hoping for a pair of bootcut MC pants because I could wear them with my chucks, but these are straight legs if I'm not mistaken. Could they work with casual ballet flats? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-tam-038-sarah-further-markdown-on-club-monaco-mcs#post-73623 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 04:30:49 +0000 devin 73623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is great! Maya I hope you get them, for that price you just can't resist. I hope everyone else who wants them gets them also. Club Monaco might as well have given them away at that price! Lucky for the YLF ladies!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-tam-038-sarah-further-markdown-on-club-monaco-mcs#post-73618 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 04:01:24 +0000 elpgal 73618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is the rise on these pants, say for a Size 8 or 10? I am very tempted now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-tam-038-sarah-further-markdown-on-club-monaco-mcs#post-73614 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 03:24:36 +0000 April 73614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for Vani for the Most Concerned and Enabling Fellow Shopper Ever... You're the best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-tam-038-sarah-further-markdown-on-club-monaco-mcs#post-73576 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 22:11:37 +0000 Angie 73576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lesley, one of the reasons I love CM is because of their long inseams and sleeve lengths (perfect for tall lasses like San, Inge and Marianne - and people with gorilla length arms such as myself). At 5ft 6, I am not tall, but you lose length when you are a small size and it’s personally a constant challenge with American clothes. Most things are too short. For those of you who are extra tiny, CM offers 00 sizes too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-tam-038-sarah-further-markdown-on-club-monaco-mcs#post-73547 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 20:11:51 +0000 shana 73547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I vote for a CM microcheck fashion show! I really enjoy seeing how the same clothing item looks on different bodies, shapes, coloring etc. and how different people interpret them so it's always a treat when multiple forum members own &#38; wear the same item. </p> <p>No, I am resisting - even for $16. I already have two pairs of microchecks. As an inverted triangle, pants have always been easy for me (well, having babies &#38; developing a stomach pouch made it harder) - so I have amassed an incredible number of pants, many of them a little dressier (which I find these CM microchecks to be) than I need for my every day life. That's why I had to institute the shopping ban - to focus my efforts on tops &#38; dresses where I have more trouble.</p> <p>Can't wait to see everyone's microchecks looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-tam-038-sarah-further-markdown-on-club-monaco-mcs#post-73531 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 19:06:23 +0000 marianne 73531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you're all are getting those pants at a great price. Maya, I think 4 would work - I got 4 but went back and forth between 2 and 4 for a long time.<br /> Lesley, the inseam is around 34, like all CM pants. You should give them a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-tam-038-sarah-further-markdown-on-club-monaco-mcs#post-73526 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 18:51:45 +0000 Maya 73526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hehe, I assume nothing about you or anyone else Sarah. I just know that *I* would have to be rich. Right now it would be great to find any paying work at all though, so I don't even focus on that.</p> <p>My shopping strategy is quite poor. Go to one store, get discouraged (by price, fit, style, etc), go to the next store, get more discouraged, and keep going until I finally feel frustrated and leave. It's so much easier with other people. I hate shopping alone but with Angie, Tanya, and Laura I actually had FUN. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-tam-038-sarah-further-markdown-on-club-monaco-mcs#post-73476 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 14:20:42 +0000 Sarah 73476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, Maya, I'm not rich. I work so I can afford to shop. After these pants though, I really need to take a step back so I can afford to take my cruise next month.<br /> One of the downsides of losing weight is that you pretty much have a "disposable" wardrobe. I've been shopping a lot of sale racks, Wal*Mart, and consignment shops. I also consign larger items so I can afford smaller ones. :)<br /> Ana and Patience have a great shopping strategy I think. We do our usual circle of stores and they give everything a good look and make a decision later. Smart shoppers they are.<br /> I'm just looking forward to being done so I can invest in nicer pieces. Some day!<br /> I'm excited about my pants. I have one pair of work pants (also CM) and as much as I love dresses, I really do like wearing pants now and then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-tam-038-sarah-further-markdown-on-club-monaco-mcs#post-73409 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 04:51:24 +0000 lwc 73409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Soooo...what's the inseam on these bad boys?!?!</p> <p>I'll be near a CM this weekend. I'd be willing to try them in a 0-2.</p> <p>It's funny...I had a pair of pants like these back in '89. I bought mine at Gap, when I worked for them. Obviously, the style was different then...and I definitely don't wanna go there! LOL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-tam-038-sarah-further-markdown-on-club-monaco-mcs#post-73403 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 04:33:54 +0000 Maya 73403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's okay for me to get these. I own just two pairs of actual pants. It's so hard for me to find a pair that suit my personal style and don't make me feel overdressed. These really fit the bill (and will be great for interviews). </p> <p>I'm afraid the 4's won't fit after hearing San's report but we'll see.</p> <p>Ana, browsing sounds good to me. Window shopping always amuses me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-tam-038-sarah-further-markdown-on-club-monaco-mcs#post-73397 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 04:13:58 +0000 Ana 73397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, I can hardly wait to see what you end up with! San is sending me the CM microcheck pants, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Maybe we'll be CM pant twins!</p> <p>Maya, I'm happy you managed to get some, too. I bet they will look great! You can come shopping with us anytime. Lots of times we don't buy anything at all, just browse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-tam-038-sarah-further-markdown-on-club-monaco-mcs#post-73391 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 04:07:15 +0000 cciele 73391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You guys need to make a collage of your beautiful selves modeling the CM microchecks. Seriously! From what I've seen, these pants work great for all different shapes and sizes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-tam-038-sarah-further-markdown-on-club-monaco-mcs#post-73383 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 03:58:12 +0000 Vani 73383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woohoo!! I'm very happy for all of you! </p> <p>More so that even Maya is finally able to nab one of these pairs. Also fall in love a little The guy I talked to at the Miami store was also too cute. You should have heard him try to describe the pants, hee hee.</p> <p>Tam, email on the way! I'm so glad I could nab a pair for you :-)</p> <p>Sarah, awesome!</p> <p>Shana, $16 for exceedingly well tailored pants in fabulous fabric? Break the ban already!! Yes, I'm a total enabler :-D</p> <p>I'm going to hold you all to post pictures, soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-tam-038-sarah-further-markdown-on-club-monaco-mcs#post-73336 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 01:35:12 +0000 shana 73336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what an incredible bargain - even tempting me on my no pants shopping ban! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-tam-038-sarah-further-markdown-on-club-monaco-mcs#post-73321 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 00:42:38 +0000 Angie 73321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*chuckle*</p> <p>Vani, you are an angel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-tam-038-sarah-further-markdown-on-club-monaco-mcs#post-73303 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 23:20:49 +0000 Maya 73303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know Sarah, I think I"m going to have to become very rich before spending any time with you I can't even imagine the fun of one of your shopping trips with Patience and Ana. Makes my head explode. </p> <p>Someone apparently bought the last 2 so I got the 4 instead (I was going to get both and return the one that didn't fit). Now I can't decide if I should call up one of the NY stores and find a 2 now or just wait and see if the 4 fits (and if it doesn't, possibly being unable to find a 2 anywhere else).</p> <p>BTW thanks for the info Niva. The guy I talked to was so cute, I fell in love a little on the phone :p </p>
