Congrats! Your bf is a great shopping partner, btw! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-apropos#post-438468 Thu, 06 Oct 2011 15:19:26 +0000 Mo 438468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, Celia that's too kind! I'd be open to working something out :)<br /> I do find it funny that in a place as hot as FL they would be sold out of all but three xs's! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-apropos#post-438466 Thu, 06 Oct 2011 15:18:18 +0000 Vani 438466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol, I know what you mean. It doesn't help that they keep changing the traffic pattern every few months. </p> <p>From wildlife to faux fur coats, atleast you kept it in the same spirit! Unplanned days end up a lot nicer than the planned ones. But I do hope you can plan one trip where we can meet up </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-apropos#post-438462 Thu, 06 Oct 2011 15:15:49 +0000 celia 438462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel bad because I see a lot of them around here but they are more expensive. Tell you what, if you still long for it when sale time come tell me , maybe we can arrange something. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-apropos#post-438456 Thu, 06 Oct 2011 15:13:02 +0000 Mo 438456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ah, got it - thanks. It had Nordie's. International Plaza it was then lol! You would laugh at the number of times we've ended up heading for a bridge to St Pete instead of where we mean to go.<br /> And, yes, I'd love to meet up - we never seem to plan these things. I started the day at Homossassa State Park meaning to take the boat to see wildlife. And one thing lead to another lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-apropos#post-438453 Thu, 06 Oct 2011 15:10:51 +0000 Vani 438453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is the Westfield Mall right off of 589/Kennedy &amp; Westshore and then the International Plaza right off of Westshore and 589/Boy Scout...LOL!<br /> International Plaza is the only one with a Nordstrom. I hope you make some time for tea next time you're in Tampa </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-apropos#post-438447 Thu, 06 Oct 2011 15:07:27 +0000 Mo 438447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vani - I honestly have no idea lol!!! It's off West Shore Blvd. We always get so turned around once we get off the 589 . . .</p> <p>Celia, I finally found it online, but it's only in xs there, too. Drats! <a href="http://shop.guess.com/Catalog/View/W13L20W1LI0?CMP=CSE-GESShopping&#038;mr:referralID=53e94627-f02d-11e0-be22-001b2166becc" rel="nofollow">http://shop.guess.com/Catalog/.....1b2166becc</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-apropos#post-438445 Thu, 06 Oct 2011 15:07:04 +0000 celia 438445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on becoming a veteran and what a way to celebrate.<br /> I have seen the Guess coat you are talking about and although I love it it works better with cooler skin tones, IMHO.<br /> You have a smart man, indeed.His words are to live by </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-apropos#post-438443 Thu, 06 Oct 2011 15:06:37 +0000 Vani 438443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm guessing you were at International Plaza! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-apropos#post-438437 Thu, 06 Oct 2011 15:00:25 +0000 Carole 438437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-apropos#post-438398 Thu, 06 Oct 2011 14:28:07 +0000 Jonesy 438398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great story, Malina!

You know, I'm coming to understand that for him it's not really how much I spend on clothing. His issue is how much of it I have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-apropos#post-438385 Thu, 06 Oct 2011 14:09:09 +0000 Vildy 438385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, Congratulations and boyfriend is pretty smart, too! And has good taste. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-apropos#post-438383 Thu, 06 Oct 2011 14:07:24 +0000 Mo 438383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I spent yesterday window shopping with the BF at a mall in Tampa. He had a dentist appt rescheduled so we had a bonus day off together. We had gone there before to go to Nordstrom to look for suits for him. Seems it's always in a rush to somewhere else - a ballgame or museum - so we never just browse around. Come to find out there's everything from an Anne Fontaine store to Burberry, Gucci and Coach. I didn't visit those but had lots of fun popping into Bebe and BCBGeneration and Guess! I actually felt and tried on a dozen leather coats and faux fur, including the vest from Forever XXI that I'd been debating on. The BF said I looked like a pagan ha ha ha. I agree it was too furry with my hair. I was drawn to the drape of a Tommy Bahama waterfall taupe coat but it was tissue thin at $500!<br /> I really liked a faux leather and shearling cream coat at Guess, but xs was the only size in stock (on 40% off of $128!). It zipped up, but I wasn't wearing any substantial layer under either. The BF liked the merlot colored faux fur at Express except for the zip up closure. We both agreed buttons or open would have been so much better. EDIT: <a href="http://www.express.com/faux-mink-fur-moto-jacket-39147-524/control/show/3/index.pro" rel="nofollow">http://www.express.com/faux-mi...../index.pro</a></p> <p>Through all this, he said," you know, you shouldn't just get the best of the lot that you can find. You should get what you really want. That is why we always have a closet full of Mo clothes that get worn a few times and then donated a year later." Smart man!! </p> <p>The point of all of this is that after this long day of shopping (and eating mmmm!) I came home, logged on, and found out I became a veteran yesterday! What a perfect way to celebrate a year of being here. Smart shopping </p> <p>(we both came away empty handed but it was a successful shopping trip in many ways!) </p>
