Once again, I'm touched by how generous YLFers are with each other. Not just with advice and encouragement but also with actual clothes. What a remarkable community... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-shopping-in-kirstenkps-basement#post-104652 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 04:17:57 +0000 marianna 104652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone!</p> <p>Kristen, your items have found a warm home in my closet.

How fun is that?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-shopping-in-kirstenkps-basement#post-104588 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 22:26:41 +0000 Christie 104588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The tweed jacket looks so pretty with the black polka-dot blouse. Everything you selected flatters you so beautifully! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-shopping-in-kirstenkps-basement#post-104583 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 22:10:04 +0000 Maya 104583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love reading about these YLF meetups (and am terribly envious of all of you who get to participate in them). Everything looks wonderful Marianna. Love the cream cardi and pin especially. Kudos to Kristen for her generosity! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-shopping-in-kirstenkps-basement#post-104577 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 21:53:00 +0000 Kristen 104577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my GOSH look at how great those pieces look on you! I am particulary wowed by the cream cropped sweater; the pin was a brilliant stroke, and it looks SO GOOD ON YOU. I never, ever got that one to work for me. Just goes to show how different body types we all have even if we are the same size and weight. </p> <p>Oh, my lovely first long cardigan, and the sweet floral print, and the coolly graceful curved hem cardi...oh, SIGH. I am so happy all the other sweaters -- and the awesome jacket! -- have found a good home with you; those were some of my favorite pieces of all time, and I was sad when I had to put them away. Enjoy them as much as I did! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-shopping-in-kirstenkps-basement#post-104571 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 21:34:11 +0000 cciele 104571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great finds, Marianna! I can't pick a favorite. The floral cardi is particular sassy and perfect for Anthro. Yay for Kristen and YLF for enabling such sharing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-shopping-in-kirstenkps-basement#post-104568 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 21:30:21 +0000 Louise 104568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic i love the jacket too x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-shopping-in-kirstenkps-basement#post-104558 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 21:07:09 +0000 Queen Mum 104558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You found some great pieces there!

Marianna, you look beautiful in everything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-shopping-in-kirstenkps-basement#post-104544 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 20:32:05 +0000 marianna 104544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristen has obviously lost tons of weight and she has boxes full of clothes that are too big for her. She invited me to look through the boxes and see if there was anything I'd like. I took her up on her offer. Here's what I came away with:</p> <p>1) Maroon &amp; grey boyfriend cardi. MOTG look #1:<br /> <a href="http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae339/mariannacecile/IMG_2060.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i985.photobucket.com/al.....G_2060.jpg</a></p> <p>2) Black curved hem cardi. Also MOTG look #1:<br /> <a href="http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae339/mariannacecile/IMG_2065.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i985.photobucket.com/al.....G_2065.jpg</a></p> <p>3) Cream wool cropped cardi. I added a flower pin:<br /> <a href="http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae339/mariannacecile/IMG_2067.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i985.photobucket.com/al.....G_2067.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae339/mariannacecile/IMG_2077.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i985.photobucket.com/al.....G_2077.jpg</a></p> <p>4) Mini floral print cardi. I thought this might be cute for work at Anthro:<br /> <a href="http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae339/mariannacecile/IMG_2080.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i985.photobucket.com/al.....G_2080.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae339/mariannacecile/IMG_2083.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i985.photobucket.com/al.....G_2083.jpg</a></p> <p>5) Awesome Ann Taylor tweed jacket that I know I will wear a ton:<br /> <a href="http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae339/mariannacecile/IMG_2091.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i985.photobucket.com/al.....G_2091.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae339/mariannacecile/IMG_2104.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i985.photobucket.com/al.....G_2104.jpg</a></p> <p>Kristen is awesome and she was so kind to let me rummage through her boxes. She let me try on anything I wanted, including some interview suits, but we had no luck there. I also tried on a few coats but nothing worked out either. I am very happy with what I found and the cardigans and jacket definitely fill a gap in my fall wardrobe! Kristen, thank you SO much. </p>
