When I want a sweater or sweatshirt, wouldn’t I want longer sleeves?</p> <p>Rachylou, you always make me laugh, so glad to return the favor! &nbsp;I think it was too long for me at 5’4”, but some seem to pull it off…</p> <p>Kkards, I know. &nbsp;My DH buys his shorts and pants this way too. &nbsp;</div><div>2 of the same, 2-3 colors, done for the year! &nbsp;I don’t really need to layer in Florida, as it rarely gets below 55-60, but I think that sweatshirt will be going back. &nbsp;Seasonal confusion.</p> <p>Cat and Angie- Thanks! &nbsp;The blouse is just as beautiful in person, and fits perfectly! &nbsp;A new, somewhat boho direction for me.</p> <p>VintageDawn, the color is so vibrant and happy, I just had to keep it! &nbsp;</p> <p></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hits-and-misses--so-far#post-2214094 Thu, 05 Aug 2021 17:36:27 +0000 VintageDawn 2214094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that VB blouse! I know what you mean about the CeCe material, I felt it in the store and passed since it wasn't the right color for me, but I've seen it on a couple people and it's really cute - I bet it ends up being a workhorse for you.&nbsp; I've gotten a couple CeCe tops over the last year or two for work and been very pleased with them.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hits-and-misses--so-far#post-2214079 Thu, 05 Aug 2021 16:40:42 +0000 kkards 2214079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol on polos/golf shirts for men…probably 75% of the men i work with wear a this style 5 days a week…and I’d guess that most of them wear the same brand everyday…</p> <p>love love love the Veronica Beard shirt, and it i wore shirts more often i would have bought it…glad it worked for you<br />i’m on the fence about puff sleeves, partly because i need to be able to layer.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hits-and-misses--so-far#post-2214077 Thu, 05 Aug 2021 16:37:36 +0000 Angie 2214077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice family haul :)</p> <p>Your Winter blouse is something I would wear in Summer here!

That’s a HEWI for me - a long cardigan that doesn’t do that on me… or in my case, just make me look like a schlep, lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hits-and-misses--so-far#post-2214037 Thu, 05 Aug 2021 14:41:35 +0000 Preppy Pear 2214037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That VB blouse is pretty! Sorry the long sweater didn’t work out for you but I have it on order and was excited to hear that it’s really long - I’m tall.<br /> Would you get a lot of use out of the puff sleeve sweatshirt? It’s cute, but I know personally I’d find myself reaching for longer sleeves in sweatshirt-weather, or something cozier for a lounge piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hits-and-misses--so-far#post-2214030 Thu, 05 Aug 2021 14:26:16 +0000 Theodora 2214030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is actually the first time I have participated in the Anniversary sale. Usually, everything I might want was sold out, but due to the year of Covid at-home shopping, I made the July 14 order date! &nbsp;Not everything is here yet, as I have ordered 3 different times...</p> <p>Some Hits and Misses:</p> <p>1) Ted Baker Polo for DH. &nbsp;He had me order 4 of these. That is how men do it. Same item, 4-6 of them. No variety. lol. Fits and looks great on him. &nbsp;The contrast stitching makes it a little more metro than golf, which is more like him too.</p> <p>2)Lana Slide by Chinese Laundry. I ordered these in Black, in 2 sizes just in case, but they would not stay on my feet regardless. I think the band part needed to be higher up not to slip. Going back.</p> <p>3) &nbsp;Too Good Sweater by Free People. I ordered this in Orange and White. Same size, but the orange was one to 2 sizes bigger! Quality control. I love that color too. Keeping the white.</p> <p>4) Puff sleeve sweater, Halogen. Ordered in Burgundy XL for my mom, who is a size 16. Wow- talk about oversized! It was huge, more like a 2X( I know, because both daughters are that size.) I really didn't expect it to be so square either, as the photo show a slim, tapered fit. &nbsp;Return</p> <p>5) Long Cardigan, Nordstrom. I wanted to like this, as it would be an entirely new direction for me, but it was super long, boring, and I felt like a religious widow in it. Definite return.</p> <p>6) Frame Puff Sleeve Sweatshirt. Not sure, on the fence. The puff sleeves are quite large, and the body is very fitted in the small, whereas the medium is good in the body, but ridiculous in the puff sleeve. &nbsp;Pondering the small.</p> <p>7) Lowell metallic silk blouse by Veronica Beard. &nbsp;Keep! I've been stalking this for months, and at this price, and the fit, I'm loving it! Only for winter here in Florida..</p> <p>8) CeCe mixed media top. &nbsp;Another Keep. Not crazy about the fabric, but the color and fit are really good, and this is year round for me here in Florida!</p>
