I normally do prefer a scoop, crew, boatneck but those styles at BR came with other things I wasnt crazy about like longer sleeves or a breast pocket, etc. So the V it is! I hope it works... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-springsummer-refresh#post-1628699 Sun, 13 Mar 2016 07:34:27 +0000 rachylou 1628699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all good versatile choices. My one thought was that #1 is a very different neckline from the others... a v-neck. I was wondering if that's a wildcard for you, something different you're trying out? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-springsummer-refresh#post-1628695 Sun, 13 Mar 2016 07:17:26 +0000 Cerinda 1628695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What terrific planning! &nbsp;Maybe you'll post a WIW?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-springsummer-refresh#post-1628665 Sun, 13 Mar 2016 04:22:25 +0000 ma 1628665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smittie - good question. I already have a couple of denim jackets, an olive cotton shell, and a rain coat that should get me through spring. I run warm so once summer hits i cant tolerate anything more than a tee + skirt/shorts/cropped pants.</p> <p>BrieN- yes! I have everything in my cart, definitely taking advantage of sale. I just wanted some input first. Thanks for info. Regarding fit of cropped flares. I hope they work out for both of us! Oh, and i did size down but was debating between short and regular length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-springsummer-refresh#post-1628647 Sun, 13 Mar 2016 03:06:23 +0000 BrieN 1628647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw that a couple of your items are from Banana Republic which is currently 40% off (at least today it is) with the promo code. </p> <p>I also ordered these jeans -- I've actually ordered them twice as the first time I thought the rise was too low. &nbsp;I have tried on dozens of pairs of pants in the last two months and these are still the best of the cropped flare bunch at my price point, so I reordered them. I purchased 3 pairs in different sizes and lengths.</p> <p>The size smaller than my "normal lower size" &nbsp;fit well, if a little gap at the waist (which I'm considering ordering the next size down just to see if that might fix the waist without being too tight in the rest).&nbsp;</p> <p>I think the sandals you picked out are great and I think will go well with both pairs of pants </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-springsummer-refresh#post-1628644 Sun, 13 Mar 2016 03:01:42 +0000 Anonymous 1628644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice capsule! I think this is a great start with a small budget.<br /> Do you think you'll need some sort of topper? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-springsummer-refresh#post-1628639 Sun, 13 Mar 2016 02:33:23 +0000 ma 1628639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Sarah for the input! That is good to know about the stripe top. The summer are quite hot and humid so a heavy top will not work. I don't live close to a BR so I am trying to do this all online based off reviews and pictures and such. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-springsummer-refresh#post-1628637 Sun, 13 Mar 2016 02:17:50 +0000 Meow 1628637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute choices. I ordered my regular size and one size smaller (because Angie recommended to size Down) in the "short" length of the BR flares...not petite but "short". I'm 5'5". I haven't gotten them yet so I can't comment but seems like regular length should work for you. My store didn't have any of the flares....I guess they think I live in frumpville! Lol. If you haven't seen the BR striped top IRL, it's heavy. I felt it would be too hot for my lifestyle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-springsummer-refresh#post-1628622 Sun, 13 Mar 2016 01:07:27 +0000 ma 1628622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello Fabers! I having been mostly a lurker for about a year and a half, commenting every now and then. I love Angie's blog and it has been awesome to actually know what's current and trending (even if they are not trends I am participating in) after a few years of neglecting fashion and my personal style.<br /> I have had every intention of getting my closet in shape but bad shopping habits, not exactly knowing which style direction I'd like to take, and a very small budget has always deterred me. My budget pretty much limits me to sales and thrift and despite the occasional gem, it has mostly led to a discordant closest of uncertain quality. I am determined to do better!!</p> <p>My sweet husband did work out a little extra so I may refresh my spring and summer style...I have not pulled the trigger on any of this except the Gap vintage wash tees in grey and navy and a pair of broken in olive khakis also from the Gap. </p> <p>These are the other items I am planning on buying (I took screen shots because I haven't fully worked out "finds" tool, yet). The cropped flares and striped top are straight up copies after seeing how fab Karen looked in them. I almost picked up her gorgeous strappy wedge, too, but decided the heel was too high for me. </p> <p>I am 5'7" and a 1/2, so I am leaning towards the regular as opposed to petite cut on flares. For those that own these, which cut did you purchase?</p> <p>Sorry this is so long. Honest feedback is welcome!! </p>
