Even though I don't think they are priced low end. &nbsp;(Not buying them as much any more for this reason.)</p> <p>So of course I think you should keep the bright striped cardigan.</p> <p>One of my favorite aspects of cardigans is that I can rip them off instantly when I get a hot flash. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-chicos-and-tj-maxx-had-a-baby-kr/page/2#post-1583347 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 18:36:21 +0000 rachylou 1583347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hilarious. #2 is standout. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-chicos-and-tj-maxx-had-a-baby-kr/page/2#post-1583244 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 13:23:57 +0000 dakotacheryl 1583244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann, I absolutely love the skirt and the cardigan of many colors on you...wonderful finds!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-chicos-and-tj-maxx-had-a-baby-kr/page/2#post-1583079 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 00:22:45 +0000 Beth Ann 1583079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lyn and Melllls for taking time to report in on my finds!&nbsp; </p> <p>FC:&nbsp; You're right about my wardrobe needs --- I think I'm rebelling a bit --- deep inside my little 'ol heart -- against my casual-in-transition lifestyle.&nbsp; If I had some extra cash, I would have an amazing holiday capsule that I have no place to wear!&nbsp; Hee.&nbsp; On the plus side, I've been improving my uber-casual and lounge wardrobe over the past couple of years.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-chicos-and-tj-maxx-had-a-baby-kr#post-1583002 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 19:50:54 +0000 Mellllls 1583002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We get commercials for Steinmart but I don't know where there is one near us :)</p> <p>The outfits look great and I love that cardigan. &nbsp;Great finds1 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-chicos-and-tj-maxx-had-a-baby-kr#post-1583001 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 19:45:31 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1583001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your shopping outfit! (There's that great strategy at work again--wear something fabulous, and see if the new offerings stack up.)<br />I'm afraid I like both pieces and would advise you get them both. So much for my help on the budget!<br />The patterned skirt is a great fit, and it will go with all your black, white, gray, and jewel toned tops, tights, shoes, boots. I agree with unfrumped, it is a good option to supplement but not duplicate your existing beautiful black and white wallpaper print pencil skirt.&nbsp; <br />The colorful cardigan is gorgeous on you, and given that your lifestyle is more casual these days, I think you'll find many opportunities to wear it. </p> <p>In fact, if you had to leave one item behind, I would suggest the skirt, as you may not be wearing pencil skirts enough to worry about saving your favorites from too much wear this season. I bet you'd find a similar pencil skirt later on, closer to spring when you might reach for them more. </p> <p>Oh, and Steinmart is a store my mom likes a lot. There was one near my parents in Florida where they wintered until the past year, and one near them where they are now. Mom likes the deals, even though I don't think they really have a lot of things she likes to wear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-chicos-and-tj-maxx-had-a-baby-kr#post-1582898 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 10:22:01 +0000 lyn67 1582898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you do really dress nice for shopping-YLmore thanF, and I LOVE &nbsp;LOVE LOVE the new scuba skirt-have to say it anything else abou?:-) The cardi is also a keeper to my eyes as itz has cheery colors, and you say it is lightweight, too-great!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-chicos-and-tj-maxx-had-a-baby-kr#post-1582856 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 04:16:29 +0000 Beth Ann 1582856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia:&nbsp; Color is a mood lifter, isn't it?&nbsp; I just wore a neutral outfit today -- deep olive pants, cream and black striped tee, black drapey cardi ---- snoooooooze.&nbsp; Someone else would have look fab, but I just wasn't feeling it.&nbsp; I add an animal print scarf with a little purple.&nbsp; Meh.&nbsp; Switched out the black for a burgundy cardi.&nbsp; Ahhh.&nbsp; That's better!</p> <p>Unfrumped: Your experience at SM is very similar to mine!&nbsp; And you're right about the skirt serving me differently.&nbsp; It is a little less "dressy" than my older skirt, and the scuba material is durable while giving a smooth appearance.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-chicos-and-tj-maxx-had-a-baby-kr#post-1582850 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 03:45:22 +0000 Suz 1582850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I'd definitely keep both items then. The skirt is really a no-brainer and the sweater is just plain happy, so why the heck not? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-chicos-and-tj-maxx-had-a-baby-kr#post-1582831 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 02:40:46 +0000 Jaime 1582831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You must keep the cardigan of many colors, you will sing your way right out of that well if anyone dares mess with you. I like the skirt outfit also, but the colors really make you glow.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-chicos-and-tj-maxx-had-a-baby-kr#post-1582830 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 02:39:05 +0000 unfrumped 1582830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The new skirt splits wears in the most basic sense of "neutral patterned pencil" , but it has a more muted color scheme going on and might" go" with some different colors than your " old" skirt ( or, go better or suggest an interesting new combo) and give a different vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-chicos-and-tj-maxx-had-a-baby-kr#post-1582825 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 02:29:06 +0000 Beth Ann 1582825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Echo!&nbsp; I'm shopping at SM more because it's convenient to my new location, but I'm still learning how to shop the store efficiently!</p> <p>Aida: I hadn't planned on buying a skirt this winter, since I'm not working much yet.&nbsp; This one will replace a soon-to-be retired animal print ponte (not as nice as this one, or as flattering). It will also help me split wears with a favorite that I want to keep for a long time (see below)!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-chicos-and-tj-maxx-had-a-baby-kr#post-1582820 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 02:20:43 +0000 unfrumped 1582820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt is great. Has interest but classic.<br /> I live the colors of the sweater and you are tall enough to handle the length. I'd base decision on the fabric-- does it feel good, hang well, has enough substance.<br /> We have SteinMart and I know what you mean. Items will catch my eye and then be just not quite right. They carry certain brands and don't really get in the occasional " gems" that sometimes turn up at TJ or Marshall's.<br /> Still I may get one or 2 things there every year. I do check them out for dressy capsule, though have not had luck lately. I don't find much of my workwear there. I got some great loafers last year - good leather. I got my autumn- print cardi there. They carry a bazillion cardigans, so it's a great place to find particular color or print to go with something or be a refresher. So definitely, leave no retail stone unturned! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-chicos-and-tj-maxx-had-a-baby-kr#post-1582793 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 01:20:48 +0000 Aida 1582793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both cardigans! The colorful one is fun and, yes, a good way to brighten winter. And the purple is a gorgeous color and shape on you. Quite like the skirt, very nice fit and that's a versatile fabrication that can be made more casual than a typical woven pencil. Can't give you very good input about whether or not it's "the one skirt" for the season without knowing the rest of your skirt situation. But if you don't have another patterned skirt, in particular, this looks like a great addition to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-chicos-and-tj-maxx-had-a-baby-kr#post-1582786 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 01:14:40 +0000 Echo 1582786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm up north, and we have a Stein Mart. I have to agree that it is really hard to tell their general clientele, but the skirt in #1 and the second sweater are absolute winners on you!&nbsp;</p> <p>I sometimes look there and find fab things to wear (plaid skinnies and black with grommets). Other times, I wonder who could ever shop there (bad polyester and clown-like colours). So Stein Mart runs completely hot or cold for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-chicos-and-tj-maxx-had-a-baby-kr#post-1582691 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 21:34:34 +0000 Beth Ann 1582691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Always Trying:&nbsp; I didn't see the Bandolino knit jeans, but there was a big selection of Earl.</p> <p>Cecilia:&nbsp; Thanks for the encouragement!</p> <p>X:&nbsp; I know exactly what you mean about the bling!&nbsp; You still have to look beyond and behind the fancy-schmancy.&nbsp; Right now, for instance, they have a great selection of puffers --- Kors, Camuto, Ann Klein.&nbsp; Great prices.&nbsp; Of course, they're in the far back of the store!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-chicos-and-tj-maxx-had-a-baby-kr#post-1582643 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 19:38:55 +0000 Anonymous 1582643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cute skirt, and the sweater's colors look really great on you.&nbsp; I vote keep the sweater if it's not acrylic.&nbsp; </p> <p>I live near a SteinMart, but I haven't been there in ages.&nbsp; I'm not sure if they changed buyers or what, but the clothes got so blinged-out it was blinding to go in there, and all the fabrics seemed to be cheap synthetics.&nbsp; The home goods were still pretty good, though.&nbsp; I'm glad you found some cool stuff there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-chicos-and-tj-maxx-had-a-baby-kr#post-1582633 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 19:18:46 +0000 celia 1582633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all, love your shopping outfit. Love it !<br /> I think the pencil skirt looks great on you.<br /> The cardigan is super fun, and you will enjoy wearing it this holiday season.<br /> I vote keep to both . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-chicos-and-tj-maxx-had-a-baby-kr#post-1582630 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 18:48:36 +0000 Susie 1582630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wasn't familiar with Stein Mart before we moved south and I've only been there a few times.

I still wear this one happily, but it's getting a lot of wear -- this new skirt would split wears, extending its lifespan a bit.&nbsp; That said, I have to be careful -- my life is even more casual than it was. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-chicos-and-tj-maxx-had-a-baby-kr#post-1582599 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 17:32:53 +0000 Peri 1582599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a fan of the card, I vote keep. It does have a cozy, comfy, I wear beautiful things at home vibe. Fun but not dressed up.&nbsp;</p> <p>The skirt is wow wow amazing though! I think you could wear that anywhere. Keep for sure!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-chicos-and-tj-maxx-had-a-baby-kr#post-1582593 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 17:11:48 +0000 UtahDesert 1582593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything works, and I definitely think you should keep the colorful long cardigan and wear it frequently! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-chicos-and-tj-maxx-had-a-baby-kr#post-1582588 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 16:52:44 +0000 Carole 1582588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits.

The next time I saw my mom she told me she went in to the store and concluded it was only for kids. The stores are still open so I guess they found their people, my family is just&nbsp;not part of the group.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-chicos-and-tj-maxx-had-a-baby-kr#post-1582577 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 16:36:30 +0000 Sara L. 1582577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the skirt and sweater.&nbsp; I love your shopping outfit as well.&nbsp; That purple is a beautiful color.&nbsp; </p>
