Gorgeous skirt for gorgeous you...and well deserved due to your hard work. Congratulations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-the-last-one#post-789214 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 21:23:56 +0000 JR 789214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It came! It fit. Well, sort of. It's a bit snug yet (which is fine) and creates a slight muffin top and is a bit too revealing of my bulges, seeing as the fabric is relatively light-weight. But it's wearable with a tunic top, and I have a new black one just waiting for family Christmas feasts, so I will be able to get wear out of it almost immediately. And I think in another five pounds it will go with a lot of things. Being rather light-weight, it should be a four-season skirt too. Not bad for $18.</p> <p>The grey corduroy skirt and the grey skinny jeans are pretty much the same story. So I am content. I needed things to shrink into. I really, really like the texture of the jeans too.</p> <p>Camis are camis. They will do just fine. :o)</p> <p>I can't believe it. This makes two orders in a row that I won't have to return anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-the-last-one#post-789010 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 16:33:27 +0000 Glory 789010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JR I love this skirt. I have actually been to the store and tried it in black and it fits like a dream and is very comfortable. I hope that it works for you. Looking forward to seeing your new sweaters! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-the-last-one#post-788836 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 09:47:17 +0000 Deborah 788836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That skirt is lovely! I was only looking at a similar skirt in black a few days ago. I think this will look lovely on you, cannot wait to see it styled. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-the-last-one#post-788833 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 09:38:25 +0000 Ingunn 788833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How exciting! I cross my fingers that the red skirt is perfect for you in regards of shape. The color we know is perfect already. Fuchsia and cobalt are a match indeed, I'm looking forward to seeing the photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-the-last-one#post-788767 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 04:22:17 +0000 ManidipaM 788767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Knock on wood for the skirt! And like Una, I think fuchsia and cobalt *belong* together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-the-last-one#post-788764 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 04:01:08 +0000 anne 788764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE that skirt. The other clothes you ordered sound good too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-the-last-one#post-788679 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 01:36:46 +0000 Mona 788679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JR, fuschia and pink will look lovely. Gotta go now to find your before pic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-the-last-one#post-788677 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 01:31:36 +0000 JR 788677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pil, it was a tack-on near the end of a thread by Astrid in OT. Easy to miss. When I finally reach my goal, or decide that I prefer not to reach it, I plan on posting a Before/After thread, get the whole thing out of my system, and move on. I'm really looking forward to the whole thing being over, to tell the truth. I'm ready for a new challenge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-the-last-one#post-788673 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 01:28:06 +0000 pil 788673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking forward to seeing fuchsia and cobalt! That skirt looks like it could be styled any number of ways, love it.<br /> I'll have to look for your before picture, I missed that thread : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-the-last-one#post-788668 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 01:22:53 +0000 JR 788668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, seriously? I see you as tiny. And me as not. We are going to have to have a meet-up so I can satisfy myself on this point.</p> <p>RR, I have too many tales of woe like that. But they are almost perfectly balanced by the times I jumped too quickly and regretted it. Which explains the dithering.</p> <p>Ceit, I sometimes wonder if ANYBODY is a standard size. I have difficulty in fitting virtually every piece of clothing I buy. And shoes. And bracelets. And... It gets tedious after a while. Thank goodness for petite sections, is all I can say. At least there I have a ghost of a chance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-the-last-one#post-788648 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 01:07:37 +0000 Anonymous 788648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's really cool -- I had forgotten about anthropometry stuff. When I measure my wrist, I get a small frame result, but in general, I do not fit into small clothes. I must just have skinny wrists :)</p> <p>Human variation is really fascinating to me, especially seeing it on this forum through WIWs. It also highlights how bizarre size charts are and how frustrating it can be for people to find clothes that fit properly, even when they nominally are the "same size". </p> <p>Great skirt, I could see you having a lot of fun with that. I hope it fits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-the-last-one#post-788639 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 01:03:58 +0000 Raisin 788639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! Gotta love it.</p> <p>I waffled over a toy for my son to order from toys r us and overnight it went out of stock....and not available in store. My mom searched around and found it at Wal Mart. I was mad at myself for waiting too long though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-the-last-one#post-788631 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 00:56:55 +0000 Suz 788631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoot!!!! This calls for celebration! So glad you got some lovely new sweaters to celebrate your lovely new self, and I hope we soon see those AND your lucky skirt! </p> <p>As for tiny me...uh....not really, no. It is a false impression brought on by the fact that I have a tiny (not to say nonexistent) bustline. The rest of me is not so small for my height, which at 5'4" is also pretty average. And my shoulders and thighs are in fact on the large side. </p> <p>When I measure my wrist I have a medium frame. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-the-last-one#post-788624 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 00:38:29 +0000 JR 788624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ceit, my mother tries to tell me I'm big-boned. I'm actually in between, I measured my wrist for a body mass index calculation and I am medium-boned. Suz is tiny, and I am quite sure I will never shrink down to her size. Not in a healthy state anyway.</p> <p>Here is the skirt, in case anybody is interested.</p> <p><a href="http://www.reitmans.com/Textured-skirt/78773238,default,pd.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.reitmans.com/Textur.....lt,pd.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-the-last-one#post-788615 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 00:26:51 +0000 merwoman 788615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Am so excited for you JR! You were just meant to have that skirt - can't wait to see it on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-the-last-one#post-788589 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 23:46:59 +0000 Anonymous 788589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You must be seriously tiny -- although I can see that as you look very fine boned and small-framed in your pics. I do agree you look younger now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-the-last-one#post-788588 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 23:44:54 +0000 JR 788588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, with that kind of endorsement, I shall have to dish it up post-haste.</p> <p>Ceit, :)</p> <p>DonnaF, my magic scarf will handle it just fine, I am sure. ;o) And I have a white scarf just waiting to handle this kind of situation... It has been a peculiar feeling, like I'm growing backwards. Your reaction has been a common one, that I look much younger. I'm very grateful for that, because I have seen people age so much as their wrinkles deflated. I think losing the weight slowly has been a large part of the reason for that. It gave my aging skin the chance to shrink back slowly, instead of just suddenly pulling the support out from under it. And I do thank you for the kind words. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-the-last-one#post-788579 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 23:36:01 +0000 DonnaF 788579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good karma! Of COURSE you can wear fuchsia with cobalt. Seems to me you now need to wear a scarf that demonstrates the combo. . . .You mean you don't have one?!? Gotta go back online. And of COURSE you are a Size Small!!! Duh!!!! &lt;lol&gt;</p> <p>My jaw dropped when I saw your *Before* photo. I'm not sure I would have recognized you, esp. since you looked so much older, and also because I didn't feel like you were projecting your delightful quirky personality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-the-last-one#post-788572 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 23:31:04 +0000 Anonymous 788572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why not pair them? I think it will look good. Can't wait to see your new lovelies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-the-last-one#post-788565 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 23:25:46 +0000 catgirl 788565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LUCKY!</p> <p>Fuchsia and cobalt seem made for each other to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-the-last-one#post-788562 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 23:24:13 +0000 JR 788562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My bottom half is running out of options that fit well, so I sprung for another special and placed an order Sunday night. Thing is, I dithered. And dithered. And dithered. Finally, just for bed, I clicked Checkout.</p> <p>Now, the main thing I had my eye on was a textured red skirt. Everything else was a good idea, and a good price, but when I make an online order, I usually have one or two pieces that are the catalyst, and everything else is just a good idea to make the shipping price worth it. By good idea, I mean they are filling wardrobe holes, or replacing items that are nearing the end of their life.</p> <p>But the red skirt was THE item. So I placed the order. Then I went back to my wish list and lo and behold, the red skirt was now listed as out of stock. Two minutes before it was in stock. I must have got the very last one. Wow.</p> <p>Now here's hoping the thing fits me...</p> <p>I also received the sweaters I ordered at half price last week. All size small. They all fit. I was frankly astonished. They were all an attempt to brighten up my winter wardrobe a bit: a white cowl-neck, a fuchsia ballet-neck, and a bright blue V-neck cardigan. I hope to be showing them off soon.</p> <p>Question, would you pair a fuchsia sweater with cobalt skinnies? Or is that bright overload? </p>
