Or Gap BF jeans?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help--clothing-gift-item#post-1187136 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 02:09:26 +0000 Sarah A 1187136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have really been enjoying my wide (1.5") white leather belt with my jeans. (if she wears belt with jeans.....) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help--clothing-gift-item#post-1187071 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 01:03:04 +0000 DonnaF 1187071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clothing is difficult without knowing the person's body type, style preferences, etc.&nbsp; About the only items of clothing I've ventured to get relatives is Uniqlo Heattech tops -- basically long johns!&nbsp; Another *safe* thing I might get someone if she complains about binding waistbands on tights is Wolford tights (at Nordstrom) because they are reputed to be wonderful and last a long time and are certainly more $$$ than I would spend on myself.</p> <p>If she wears belts on jeans, I would get a 1.25" wide belt.&nbsp; I bought a couple this year, and the wider width makes such an enormous difference in the look vs. narrower ones.&nbsp; So hard to find that width, however.&nbsp; I bought two fun ones (@ $11 each) online, and then I will be ordering an expensive one during Nordstrom Triple Point days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help--clothing-gift-item#post-1187066 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 01:00:45 +0000 rachylou 1187066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd go for a "luxe sweatshirt." But I'm catering to my own tastes... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help--clothing-gift-item#post-1187046 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 00:46:41 +0000 cloud9 1187046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My sis bday is this weekend. She is somewhat style challenged and I wanted to give her some clothing. We were to go shopping, but she backed out so now I have no gift and need to attempt to find something. </p> <p>Now I adding have online opportunity. We have a decent mall, gap, BR, nordie, Macy etc. </p> <p>Anyone have any recommendation on something simple design, not too trendy, probably a fluid sweater of sort. Do you have a recent purchase that you rave about to give me some ideas? I'll try to see if I can find Angie's picks in store. TIA. </p>
