I have to say that I love the sandals that you bought and should be great with your blushes! It's so warm here today--definitely feels like spring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-with-spring-wardrobe#post-1455777 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 21:02:31 +0000 trekkiegirl 1455777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy news! I'm glad you are feeling good about your progress. Spring is such a fun time for wardrobe updates! There is usually so much color available :)</p> <p>Too bad about those canvas sneakers, they are super cute. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-with-spring-wardrobe#post-1455770 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 20:05:47 +0000 viva 1455770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Franco Sarto sandals! It sounds like you are putting together some great pieces for the spring. I'm just beginning to feel springy around here, and it's actually really nice and motivating to hear about someone else's good wardrobe fortune (even without pictures!). Good for you. And good luck with that marathon training. I'll try to be inspired by that, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-with-spring-wardrobe#post-1455768 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 19:57:01 +0000 Sal 1455768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done Laura, that is great. I think blush would suit you very well!! And congrats on the eBay auction:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-with-spring-wardrobe#post-1455764 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 19:43:12 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1455764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel like these updates without pictures fall a little flat but I wanted to share anyway. YLF has been such a useful resource and supportive community that I feel like you should share in my success. I feel like this year, despite the fact that I've gained a little weight back, that my shopping and wardrobe building has been really satisfying and successful. I know what works and what suits me and I'm learning how to balance my desire for novelty with my budget and my other priorities in life. </p> <p>I am nuts about all the blush colors showing up in stores this spring. I've already gotten a lightweight sweater from ON (basically free after my birthday month discount on clearance) and a drape-front blazer from the BR Factory Store (can't find it online). I stopped by H&amp;M yesterday and brought home a darker pink pair of skinny jeans, but I'm not sure if I'll keep them or not. I need to try some outfits using them, which hopefully I'll have time to do this weekend.</p> <p>The two first shoes in the Finds arrived and worked out, so I should be set for sandals this summer along with the black sandals I found in I think January at NR on mega-sale (woohoo out of season bargains). The silver Boden wedges did not fit me, so they're on their way back - I'm 0 for 2 with trying Boden shoes, so I think I'll just stop trying them; there's something about the translation from the Euro sizes that just isn't working for my feet. The white LLB sneakers also got sent back - I thought they'd be a slam dunk but when I tried them on I just didn't like the vibe. Very nice quality for the price, though. </p> <p>I tried on a pair of CJ by Cookie Johnson jeans at Nordstrom last week; they were very soft and lovely, but I just couldn't deal with the &gt;$100 price tag for something that would be weekend wear for me. So I went on ebay, found the same size and style in a different color, and won the auction for 1/4 the price. Woohoo! </p> <p>Also got a new, desperately needed, robe. The trail runners I ordered didn't work out, so those still need to be replaced, but my other workout shoes are reasonably new. (I want to train for a half marathon starting in April.)</p> <p>I've still got a wishlist, and new brands and stores I want to try, but they can wait until closer to summer. I'm working on being ok with 'enough'. </p>
