I love learning new words!</p> <p>Congrats on finding the leggings. I looked around last weekend, and due to the big sales going on, had bad luck--most everything I wanted was already long gone. *sigh* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-found-the-zipper-leggings#post-76379 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 15:55:04 +0000 Angie 76379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bobs your Uncle. Perfect inferences! I don’t know WHERE we picked it up. It’s just part of our vocab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-found-the-zipper-leggings#post-76335 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 13:08:04 +0000 Inge 76335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love discovering new words too. And squiz(z) has such a fun ring to it. I got curious and did some research. Apparently it's an Australian term (where did you pick it up Angie?)</p> <p>In the New Oxford Dictionary of English I found:<br /> Austral./NZ informal: a look or glance/look or glance at<br /> Origin: early 20th cent.: probably a blend of quiz and squint</p> <p>Collins English Dictionary adds:<br /> Austral. and N.Z. slang. a look or glance, esp. an inquisitive one.</p> <p>I'm sure you squiz with the best of them April;-) And those zippered leggings are going to look fantastic on you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-found-the-zipper-leggings#post-76323 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 11:13:57 +0000 April 76323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bumping because I'm now very curious about this word. My DS has begun using it because he likes the way it sounds, but I have no idea what *he* thinks it means... perhaps something mildly inappropriate, as is the way of 12-year-olds. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-found-the-zipper-leggings#post-76240 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 01:34:39 +0000 April 76240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, what exactly is a "squizz"?</p> <p>My best guess is that it's what we might call a "look-see." Is that about right, or does it mean more of a try or an attempt? (It's a wonder children ever learn language at all; it's so difficult to get exact meaning through inference alone!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-found-the-zipper-leggings#post-76231 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 01:15:32 +0000 Angie 76231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you squizzed perfectly, April. I can't wait to see you sport your new zippered leggings! I’m wearing mine now. Again. </p> <p>I was at INC with a client a few hours ago and they have the BEST leggings selection in town. (No Bloomies for us here unfortunately). I’m all over the ruched pair that came in a denim grey. Very delish. Must get! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-found-the-zipper-leggings#post-76174 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 17:39:47 +0000 Lena 76174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hee, excellent, April! I found mine hiding on a rack behind some random tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-found-the-zipper-leggings#post-76168 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 16:30:30 +0000 Laura 76168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the info! I love how they hide the leggings on a random rack in the INC. department. You really have to know what you're looking for ... </p> <p>We have a Bloomie's and a Macy's in our mall and the Bloomie's has a much bigger INC. section. Think I'll check there since I'm aiming to expand my leggings collection.</p> <p>*chuckle* about the squizzing!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-found-the-zipper-leggings#post-76147 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 14:31:14 +0000 Anonymous 76147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations April on your squizzing!!! Seems you have been successful.<br /> Now can we see pictures of the zippered leggings? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-found-the-zipper-leggings#post-76145 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 14:17:17 +0000 Sarah 76145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's good to know, thanks. I went to Macys yesterday and only saw cropped leggings, or longer leggings with lace trim. Bleh. But I looked in the hosiery department. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-found-the-zipper-leggings#post-76119 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 10:52:40 +0000 April 76119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been so envying the calf-length zipper leggings that Angie (and, I think, Kari?) is sporting, but had only been able to find them in a plus size.</p> <p>The other day, Angie offered the following piece of advice:</p> <p>&gt;Macys petites department has restocked the zippered leggings too. Go have a squizz. </p> <p>So I stopped by Macy's the other day and wandered around the INC section. I told myself I was having a squizz, and suddenly realized I didn't know exactly what a squizz was and whether I was squizzing correctly (or even at all) when I spied the leggings in my size! Woo hoo.</p> <p>Since one of the few 80s-ish trends that I love without regret or bad memories is the zipper-y look, I am so happy to have these. Thanks for the tip, Angie. </p>
