And I am super excited about the tops you ordered!! The Anne Klein blouse is stunning indeed, and will be so fab pattern-mixed with your new dotted pants (and will work with many other bottoms in your closet too, of course).<br />I love every single item you've ordered, by the way! Keep us posted?<br />(And I'm eyeing that BR pussy bow plaid blouse for myself too;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-to-be-kick-started#post-1850003 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 08:14:24 +0000 Jenni NZ 1850003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice blouse choices! Go team Inge and Debbie! I think the Anne Klein one is beautiful also.<br /> And cool to see Diana trying on the dress I liked. I thought it would be longer on shorter people. It looked good on you Diana, sorry you didn't like the neckline. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-to-be-kick-started#post-1849990 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 04:19:43 +0000 Anonymous 1849990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought the long Halogen cardigan in black and pale pink.&nbsp; they are a great weight for just a bit of extra warmth.&nbsp;Let us know how it works out for you.&nbsp; Also the plaid Bobeau top.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-to-be-kick-started#post-1849989 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 04:15:35 +0000 Debbie 1849989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From BR </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-to-be-kick-started#post-1849987 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 04:12:39 +0000 Debbie 1849987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From BR </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-to-be-kick-started#post-1849983 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 04:07:16 +0000 Debbie 1849983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is what I ordered from Nordstoms. I am blown away by that AK blouse. It is beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-to-be-kick-started#post-1849955 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 01:05:31 +0000 Debbie 1849955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge you are a sweetheart. I am going to go through each and everyone of these in a few minutes. I am back home from Houston. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-to-be-kick-started#post-1849884 Sun, 01 Oct 2017 19:10:12 +0000 Diana 1849884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Debbie, if it helps here is a pic of me trying on the second dress in jenni's post. I'm 5'4" and found it a decent length and TTS. It didn't work for me because of the neckline but otherwise I like it a lot. </p> <p>I think dark floral shift is a good direction for you to look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-to-be-kick-started#post-1849881 Sun, 01 Oct 2017 19:06:35 +0000 Inge 1849881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nordstrom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-to-be-kick-started#post-1849878 Sun, 01 Oct 2017 19:04:28 +0000 Inge 1849878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loft and AT. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-to-be-kick-started#post-1849877 Sun, 01 Oct 2017 19:03:10 +0000 Inge 1849877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some Zara stuff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-to-be-kick-started#post-1849875 Sun, 01 Oct 2017 19:01:52 +0000 Inge 1849875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too like Joy's and River Raine's suggestion of a long cardigan layered over sleeveless tops. Will look great with your new pants, but of course it has to be cool enough to do that. I imagine wool and wool blends are still too warm. Maybe something in cotton, or linen if you don't mind linen for Autumn. I've been really happy with the Halogen linen cardigan pictured below. I found it was OK to wear in 25-30 degrees Celsius weather.</p> <p>And yes to a fun new necklace or bracelet!-)</p> <p>I also like the idea of pattern-mixing tops with your "dotted pants" and adding textural and visual interest with ruffles, mixed-media items, interesting knit details, velvet, lace detailing etc.</p> <p>I've rounded up some stuff below. It's sadly not the same as shopping irl together (fingers crossed we get to do that again soon!!), but I hope it will at least help a bit.</p> <p>FWIW: Banana Republic, Gap, Loft and Ann Taylor are all having a sale at the moment.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-to-be-kick-started#post-1849802 Sun, 01 Oct 2017 13:08:22 +0000 River Raine 1849802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love falling back on sleeveless shells with cardigans or short sleeve shrugs, like what Joy said. I find them almost anywhere: Macy's, Marshall's, Target, the Rack. We still have hot weather where I am, so I can layer, without getting over-warm.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, what about a few new necklaces? I find accessories can give me a boost. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-to-be-kick-started#post-1849788 Sun, 01 Oct 2017 12:03:09 +0000 Inge 1849788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aaaww Debbie, how I wish we could make that shopping session happen!!!</p> <p>Your new pants sound fab, and I will have a look around for tops for you later today.</p> <p>Warm hugs from Antwerp,</p> <p>Inge<br />xxx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-to-be-kick-started#post-1849762 Sun, 01 Oct 2017 06:27:40 +0000 Debbie 1849762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Posted twice </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-to-be-kick-started#post-1849761 Sun, 01 Oct 2017 06:21:31 +0000 Debbie 1849761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy- I have that 2nd Loft top and wear it like crazy. I wish I could fine something like the 3rd one. I am hoping it will be a little cooler next week do I can layer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-to-be-kick-started#post-1849746 Sun, 01 Oct 2017 03:43:43 +0000 Anonymous 1849746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dresses you found at WHBM on your other thread. I got some tops with long sleeves at The Loft that I've liked (first 2 in finds) and The Rack (3/4 in finds)<br /> Right now I am mostly wearing sleeveless tops with light jackets or cardi. Long cardies feel stylish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-to-be-kick-started#post-1849710 Sun, 01 Oct 2017 02:17:33 +0000 Debbie 1849710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge I bought a pair of black with small white dots and then a pair of gray. What I really need is a shopping trip with you and Angie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-to-be-kick-started#post-1849707 Sun, 01 Oct 2017 02:14:51 +0000 Debbie 1849707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I stalled out and now I am in<br /> Panic mode. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-to-be-kick-started#post-1849672 Sat, 30 Sep 2017 22:50:11 +0000 Jenni NZ 1849672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Were none of the ideas from your post 3 months ago about this wedding any good? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-to-be-kick-started#post-1849671 Sat, 30 Sep 2017 22:43:23 +0000 Jenni NZ 1849671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Debbie nice to see you. I cannot help- see I don't really understand the difference between a shift and a sheath. I am thinking a shift is a little looser, more 60s inspired. Those are very pretty WHBM ones . I had saved these 2 Finds earlier that I like and there is one here in NZ I saw in the mall, not sure if any of this kind of thing is your style? I know the 2 Finds I've just attached are short but on 5 foot 2 me or 5 foot 3 you they might be longer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-to-be-kick-started#post-1849667 Sat, 30 Sep 2017 22:16:37 +0000 annagybe 1849667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dark florals for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-to-be-kick-started#post-1849625 Sat, 30 Sep 2017 18:27:58 +0000 Inge 1849625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's always so wonderful to see you, Debbie, and no need to apologize at all!<br />I see Angie has you sorted with dresses :-)</p> <p>Which colour(s) pants did you get? And are you thinking of specific colours for the tops? I'd be happy to have a look around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-to-be-kick-started#post-1849614 Sat, 30 Sep 2017 17:42:32 +0000 Angie 1849614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No need to apologize at all, Queen Sweetheart. MISSED YOU, and much love to you always.&nbsp;</p> <p>Go to WHBM for a dress right away. You need a shift - not a sheath.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-to-be-kick-started#post-1849577 Sat, 30 Sep 2017 14:12:20 +0000 cindysmith 1849577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's definitely a retail problem! I don't do dresses, so I can't help you there. Old Navy's sister company The Gap does a good job with tall clothes, maybe they're equally good for petite? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-to-be-kick-started#post-1849576 Sat, 30 Sep 2017 14:02:45 +0000 Debbie 1849576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First I need to apologize for not being around much. My personal life has been a mess and shopping took a back seat.<br /> Right now I could really use a kick start. My nieces wedding is next weekend and I need a dress. I cannot wear black or I would wear a cute dress in my closet that has the split sleeves. I have been everywhere and just struck out. I am gong to Houston to see my youngest and will look there.</p> <p>The second thing I need is tops for work. I bought a couple of pair of pixie pants at Old Navy so I am set on that for now. ( I am trying to leave no stone unturned). </p> <p>Any suggestions on dresses or tops or place to look will be appreciated. My problem with the dresses I have tried on is length. If you are 5'3' and the dress is too short that is retail problem in my opinion.<br /> Thank-you in advance. </p>
