There was a whole wall full of them. I also loved the Betsey Johnson lace tights in the YLF store, but they are long gone. Drat. </p> <p>Thanks Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-macys-gift-card-and-hosiery-questions#post-112992 Mon, 28 Dec 2009 02:12:53 +0000 Angie 112992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You should try “Hue” hose at Macys. They do great textured black hose and copied the Chanel colourblocked “half black half white” style too! I have big checked block designs from Hue which I adore. Very mod. </p> <p>Nordies does the best in-house sheer black polka dot for $10. (Nordstrom brand). They also do an in-house sheer black diagonal diamond that is fabulous for $10 too.</p> <p>Try Express. They have specials at the moment and their patterns are fun. I have seen most of them on and was quite impressed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-macys-gift-card-and-hosiery-questions#post-112989 Mon, 28 Dec 2009 01:48:22 +0000 Maya 112989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Medusa, did you find a puffer? I'm glad the trip was worth it for you!</p> <p>Bumping for Angie:</p> <p>Since I know my long-windedness probably drives you batty: </p> <p>I'm looking for argyle/diamond prints, herringbone or pinstripe, large scale floral patterns (<a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?isProduct=true&amp;color=001&amp;navAction=jump&amp;parentid=W_ACC_TIGHTS&amp;id=17267055">like so</a>), sheer dot patterns, color blocking (like those fab black and white) Chanel tights I'm sure you have seen), and maybe backseam tights. I love their vintage appeal.</p> <p>Obviously I will not be getting all of these at once! I already got the Oroblus on ebay so I can at least cross black microfishnets off my list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-macys-gift-card-and-hosiery-questions#post-112771 Thu, 24 Dec 2009 17:12:24 +0000 medusa 112771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, I don't have great hose advice but I can sympathize with your bad experience at Macy's. I found a good coat there last weekend but it really was amazingly overwhelming. I can't believe how packed it was! Probably it will be better after the holidays... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-macys-gift-card-and-hosiery-questions#post-112726 Thu, 24 Dec 2009 07:02:13 +0000 elpgal 112726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, If you are looking for non-clothing purchases, Macy's will have good linen sales come January. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-macys-gift-card-and-hosiery-questions#post-112705 Thu, 24 Dec 2009 04:47:55 +0000 Debora 112705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry you had such a difficult time in the hosiery section! I'm very intrigued by this layering concept for hosiery. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-macys-gift-card-and-hosiery-questions#post-112693 Thu, 24 Dec 2009 03:45:02 +0000 Maya 112693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sara! And welcome BTW.</p> <p>I did not find Oroblu at Macy's (or anywhere for that matter--I think it must be ordered online), and I checked the DKNY section. All they had were sheer hose. I wonder if the fishnets were a one season type of thing. I scoured the hosiery section pretty well and couldn't find any, so I'm pretty sure I'll have to get them somewhere else...I just don't know WHERE! I found the Wolford ones but the price was so high it gave me a nosebleed. If all else fails I guess I'll just bite the bullet and get them online. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-macys-gift-card-and-hosiery-questions#post-112692 Thu, 24 Dec 2009 03:40:51 +0000 MNsara 112692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, Maya -<br /> I'm really new to YLF, but just spent time looking at lots of old posts and getting caught up.</p> <p>I saw one where Angie mentioned how Oroblu are her micro fishnets of choice. (I was at Nordstrom's Mall of America yesterday and found some in nude ;-), but in that same topic she talked about DKNY recently making a micro fishnet. She hadn't checked it out, but usually DNKY is nice quality.</p> <p>So if you want to utilize the gift card toward hosiery, a large flagship Macy's should definitely carry all the DKNY selections. (If you're up to a return visit!!)</p> <p>Others may actually have personal experience with other brands.</p> <p>If you should decide to try the Oroblu, I can add my recommendation too. I sized up as I usually do and they felt really good. The micro fishnet feel was fun too!</p> <p>Sara R.<br /> P.S. I tried searching for the exact thread, but no luck yet. I'll keep looking. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-macys-gift-card-and-hosiery-questions#post-112669 Thu, 24 Dec 2009 02:51:23 +0000 Maya 112669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a $30 gift card for Macy's and I have no idea what to use it on. Here is my back story (you can skip everything between the asterisks if you don't care):</p> <p>***<br /> I was in NY yesterday and most of today to stay overnight with a friend who was in town. I decided to be brave and head out to Macy's to use my card. When I say "brave" I am not exaggerating. The Macy's flagship is OVERWHELMING as it is, but this was the Macy's flagship 3 days before Christmas. It was an absolute zoo. I have never seen anything like it. Never before have I seen so many people congregated anywhere for anything (outside of an airport or other travel hub).</p> <p>Anyway, the hosiery section is in sort of a weird and obscure spot in the building and I figured it wouldn't be as congested there. But it was really hard to shop there because the section was small and there weren't a lot of samples so I had to do some guess work trying to figure out how all these options would look. I wanted micro fishnets and liked the idea of: swiss dot/tulle patterns, floral motifs over sheer hose, and argyle. I ended up finding some strong contenders but they all failed me.</p> <p>-the micro fishnets are MACRO fishnets--ugly<br /> -the floral pattern on the second tights were extremely subtle and hard to see<br /> -the argyle pattern was also difficult to see</p> <p>So I went back to return all 3 and it was an even bigger mess. I was going to browse around for an exchange but I just couldn't stay. Everything was disorganized, the sales staff was grumpy (I don't blame them), and there were people pushing and shoving all over the place.</p> <p>***</p> <p>Having been sufficiently traumatized, I would rather buy online but they don't seem to sell hosiery on their website! Or if they do I am having an impossible time finding it. I could go back after the holiday season dies down but I'm just not that impressed with the selection. I'm having a really hard time finding a good pair of micro fishnets on my budget and really hoped Macy's would have something but I didn't find anything. What brands make them, to your knowledge? Are any of them sold in department stores?</p> <p>If I forget this whole hosiery thing, what else can I use this gift card on? There are a lot of things I want, but I have taken care of a lot of them by now. Hose was really the top priority. I would rather not spend more than $10 over the value of the card. </p>
