I’m enjoying the special treatment :0). Even got a few against policy price adjustments for my clients. They were pleased too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hitting-the-mall#post-36431 Tue, 25 Nov 2008 02:42:07 +0000 Tanya 36431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a nice man Angie! Now how often do you shop there to earn such high honors? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hitting-the-mall#post-36430 Tue, 25 Nov 2008 02:33:13 +0000 Angie 36430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bravo, Shiny. Can’t wait to see these goodies in stylish action :0)</p> <p>I went to CM today for more warm knitwear - manager gave me a discount just because I'm a regular there. I was pleased. Nice bloke! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hitting-the-mall#post-36335 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 14:56:52 +0000 Amanda 36335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought a cowl neck top also -- I want to try it out and see what I think of that neckline on me. Can't wait to see outfit photos soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hitting-the-mall#post-36328 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 14:30:12 +0000 Tanya 36328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, sounds like you scored big time Shiny! I am also a big fan of the cowlneck tops, and wanted to get a few of the ones you mentioned myself. Unfortunately my store is sold out of them, and i have been too busy to go to Copley. Can't wait to see the Theory blouse! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hitting-the-mall#post-36262 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 01:50:25 +0000 shiny 36262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, I did not see this sweater - or it was there but didn't grab my attention. It's adorable. Had I seen it.... I would've definetly given it a try-on! I love the button tabs to define the waist!!</p> <p>I mail-ordered this one weeks ago, and wore it on Friday (but didn't take a pic)... it's very cozy and I just adore the cuffs!!</p> <p><a href="http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse/product.do?cid=5034&#038;pid=606748&#038;scid=606748012" rel="nofollow">http://www.bananarepublic.com/.....=606748012</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hitting-the-mall#post-36234 Sun, 23 Nov 2008 21:55:55 +0000 Laura 36234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny, way to support our lagging economy! I'm glad you scored some deals. </p> <p>In your time at BR, did you happen to see this sweater? </p> <p><a href="http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse/product.do?pid=606745" rel="nofollow">http://www.bananarepublic.com/.....pid=606745</a></p> <p>Inge posted it in the Killer Mom Wear thread, and I like the way they styled it with the scarf, but I've never seen it in-store. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hitting-the-mall#post-36231 Sun, 23 Nov 2008 21:47:31 +0000 shiny 36231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did my part for the economy today!</p> <p>I hit Jcrew first to return the coat. There were many pretty items, but I just have too many fit issues with their stuff, or the color is not quite right for me. So I didn't find anything there. </p> <p>Next I hit ATL to return those ill-fitting cream slacks - and scored a tweed jacket in this beautiful shade of emerald, in the clearance section! It's this one - but the photo does NOT do the color justice! It's more emerald than olive:</p> <p><a href="http://tinyurl.com/59vfgf" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/59vfgf</a></p> <p>... Green is my sig color so I couldn't resist.... I have tried on similar jackets in this style, and they never worked quite right, but this one fit very nicely. I think I can have a lot of fun with it. </p> <p>Next I hit BR, with $70 of reward coupons in hand. I snapped up: </p> <p>- a black v-neck merino cardi. This is a duplicate for me - I have it in cobalt already. Oddly enough, despite owning a zillion black cardis, I have no *winter-weight* black cardis! So I have been wanting to duplicate this one in black. </p> <p>- another long-sleeve cowl neck tee, this time in emerald. It will work under the ATL jacket. I really love this knit top. Now I have it in three colors. And I *will* wear all three. I already get a lot of use out of the other two. I do not look that great in turtle-necks, so this is my next best-thing. Great layering piece - and keeps me warm. </p> <p>- two sleeveless cowl neck tees, from the clearance rack, one in red and one in a tan herringbone pattern, which happened to look cute underneath the plum cardi I was wearing to shop today. Yes, that's a lot of cowl necks.... but I really like this neckline!</p> <p>Next I hit Talbots, but the silk shell I'd tried on before was no longer there. However I did buy this adorable black and white checked hat.... which I don't see online... so you'll have to wait until I wear it!</p> <p>Then I hit Bloomie's. I wandered around for a long time, picking through the sales and clearance racks, trying things on, but having no luck. Then on my way out, I hit the Theory section and tried on two items that weren't on sale.... loved them both... but just my luck, they weren't on sale... </p> <p>However I had a $25 gift card and I just couldn't resist this blouse... which is not online, so you'll have to wait to see it! It's sleeveless, ivory, and has a wonderful neckline. It's a statement piece. I tried it on under jackets and cardis and loved the effect. I think it may also work under the Paris jacket ... or it may not - may be too competitive, since it's a statement piece on its own. I will have to play with that. Even if it doesn't, I'll get a ton of wear out of it anyway. </p> <p>I also hit Macy's but didn't see a single thing that interested me. </p> <p>Our malls were not empty, especially Bloomie's. It was very crowded. I stood in line behind a woman who racked up a couple thousand $ worth of stuff. Then again, our state isn't officially in recession - YET. </p> <p>It sounds like a lot of stuff, but with all the coupons and sales, and the two items I returned, I came in about even. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hitting-the-mall#post-36230 Sun, 23 Nov 2008 21:37:11 +0000 Amanda 36230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hit the mall on Saturday and took advantage of sales at Macy's, Express, Gap and ATL. I got basic turtlenecks and some belts, but also got a few sweaters and a pair of flannel pants. I took photos but now my camera isn't working and I can't upload them. I've already decided that I will probably return the pants -- they are too light-weight for the winter, but I definitely want advice on the sweaters. Hopefully there will be pics soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hitting-the-mall#post-36221 Sun, 23 Nov 2008 19:06:11 +0000 dee 36221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went to ATL yesterday - they have a 30% off everything in the store event. I bought 2 sweaters, one cowl neck, and one with an open front for layering. The mall was pretty vacant for saturday mid-day - a little worrisome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hitting-the-mall#post-36205 Sun, 23 Nov 2008 16:48:07 +0000 Ana 36205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hit the sales yesterday, although I spent most of my money on the DVF dress I ordered earlier this week. I ended up getting some Spanx black opaque tights (since it's getting colder here now) to wear under my denim skirts and dresses on cooler days. And I got 2 pairs of the Mia skinny jeans from Express. I may return one or both though--I'm going to post photos here later to make sure I don't look like a chicken drumstick, lol. I also went to J. Crew, which is having an additional 20% off all their sale merchandise in store. I tried on a few things, and loved this silk skirt in warm taupe:</p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Shop_By_Category/skirts/aline/PRDOVR~98827/98827.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Brows...../98827.jsp</a> </p> <p>But it just seemed very impractical for me, being silk, and easily wrinkled, and dry clean only. So I took a pass. </p> <p>I picked up the Nars Orgasm blush though--that stuff is so beautiful. The color is perfect. </p> <p>A lot of great sales and deals to be had out there this weekend! Have fun Shiny! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hitting-the-mall#post-36203 Sun, 23 Nov 2008 16:34:49 +0000 shiny 36203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have two items to return, but while I'm at it, I am going to take a run through Macy's and Bloomie's because both are having major sales and I have tons of coupons!</p> <p>Will probably also run through BR, since I have some reward cards to use up, and hit Talbots again - I keep thinking about a silk cami I tried on there. Hope it's still available - even if it's not on sale, I'll probably buy that to go under my Paris jacket. </p> <p>I don't really need anything at the moment, except for warm hats &#38; scarves &#38; gloves - can never have enough - but we figure Iceland would have a better selection. So for today I'm going to be sticking to bargain shopping only. </p> <p>Anyone else hitting the sales today? </p>
