Maybe a couple of times. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jcrew-keep-or-returns-bonus-shot-of-my-new-handbag-and-new-shoes#post-355908 Thu, 26 May 2011 00:46:18 +0000 sarah 355908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>THANKS, Aida (and everyone else). I will try the cognac belt solution - do you think a lighter taupey belt would work, as well? I'm sort of looking for one of those, too. The hem of the pants does actually drag on the floor a bit, and with white pants, that seems like a disaster, so I think I can get away with a bit of hemming. I'll see about belting the dress - I tried belting over the cardi and it looked a bit odd, and the dress has an empire waist. But I'll have to experiment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jcrew-keep-or-returns-bonus-shot-of-my-new-handbag-and-new-shoes#post-355906 Thu, 26 May 2011 00:41:02 +0000 Aida 355906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah! I LOVE all of these items on you, what a great haul (and would happily "borrow" any of them, hehe)!! The pants look really, really good; I wouldn't hem them shorter if the shoes you have on in the photos are of the heel height you'll be wearing with them. I DIG the striped flyaway cardi, and have to second Louise's thoughts of pairing with slimmer bottoms/dresses so you don't end up with too much volume (the pairing with the dress looks like too much volume to me, but could possibly be remedied by belting the dress or both cardi and dress). The last outfit is SUPER awesome, and a double yay for your new turquoise bag!! In regards to your belt question, try cognac instead </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jcrew-keep-or-returns-bonus-shot-of-my-new-handbag-and-new-shoes#post-355756 Wed, 25 May 2011 20:21:10 +0000 sarah 355756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isabel - I just noticed that limited colors are on sale at the Nordie's half-year sale! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jcrew-keep-or-returns-bonus-shot-of-my-new-handbag-and-new-shoes#post-355746 Wed, 25 May 2011 20:08:29 +0000 Isabel 355746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah ! Thank you so much ! Coincidentally Born flats are the only flats that work for me...I hit the jackpot ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jcrew-keep-or-returns-bonus-shot-of-my-new-handbag-and-new-shoes#post-355730 Wed, 25 May 2011 19:45:14 +0000 Louise 355730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All fab. I personally would keep the cardi for slimmer fit bottoms (like the jeans as opposed to the dress) to balance the volume. Luuurve the bag x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jcrew-keep-or-returns-bonus-shot-of-my-new-handbag-and-new-shoes#post-355620 Wed, 25 May 2011 17:22:13 +0000 nancylee 355620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fabulous in everything, and that handbag is so unique.

I'm glad to know that petites and longs can look great in some of the same summer jeans!</p> <p>Isabel - the shoes are actually the Born Adele flats that Angie mentioned in her post here:</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2011/04/26/dressing-from-desk-to-dinner/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2011/04/.....to-dinner/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/born-adele-black-full-grain-leather" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/born-ade.....in-leather</a></p> <p>They come in the most amazing colors - I wish I could order all of them. They are super comfie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jcrew-keep-or-returns-bonus-shot-of-my-new-handbag-and-new-shoes#post-355521 Wed, 25 May 2011 14:50:15 +0000 Jonesy 355521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I have those white bootcuts! Though mine are the ones with the 36" inseam :). You look wonderful in everything. Loooooove the cross-body bag--the color is perfect with your coloring and your color palette.

But I'm not sure what color I would substitute.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jcrew-keep-or-returns-bonus-shot-of-my-new-handbag-and-new-shoes#post-355300 Wed, 25 May 2011 03:05:21 +0000 modgrl 355300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your new loot!

I am *majorly* blushing over here in the Midwest. THANKS for your warm praise. It means so much to me.</p> <p>I have to admit - I was feeling VERY fab sporting my new handbag today - and it even fits in my bike bag ; ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jcrew-keep-or-returns-bonus-shot-of-my-new-handbag-and-new-shoes#post-355290 Wed, 25 May 2011 02:56:37 +0000 Angie 355290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You get the next TWO YLF awards with this loot!

I agree that everything is a keep, but I would not wear the dress-sweater combo as you can't see your nice figure.<br /> The look #7 is fantastic...I usually avoid Jean on Jean but the colors are so different it really works! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jcrew-keep-or-returns-bonus-shot-of-my-new-handbag-and-new-shoes#post-355273 Wed, 25 May 2011 02:28:15 +0000 MsMary 355273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE LOVE LOVE!! All of it!!

Great color choice for the handbag love the turquoise. The MM Heather are fab and look good with white. Are they comfortable? Keep the white jeans!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jcrew-keep-or-returns-bonus-shot-of-my-new-handbag-and-new-shoes#post-355265 Wed, 25 May 2011 02:19:48 +0000 rae 355265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I love it all! Hope that helps, lol. Your turquoise bag is especially fab - makes me want to bust mine out ASAP. Great haul! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jcrew-keep-or-returns-bonus-shot-of-my-new-handbag-and-new-shoes#post-355253 Wed, 25 May 2011 02:09:34 +0000 Mo 355253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yay for a first ever handbag!! I really like the striped cardi but not so much over the dress. I think it needs a slimmer bottom silhoutte to balance it out - like the white jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jcrew-keep-or-returns-bonus-shot-of-my-new-handbag-and-new-shoes#post-355236 Wed, 25 May 2011 01:49:40 +0000 kellygirl 355236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did someone say "handbag?" Wow! Great haul. I LOVE everything. The white denim is fab--especially with those Heathers! I love the stripey cardi too--looks so fresh and springy with everything you paired it with! The crossbody is delish too! Big thumbs up on the whole shebang! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jcrew-keep-or-returns-bonus-shot-of-my-new-handbag-and-new-shoes#post-355232 Wed, 25 May 2011 01:39:15 +0000 Isis 355232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, Great haul! </p> <p>The white boot cuts are a spectacular fit and I don't mind the pockets in front. Keep!</p> <p>The striped cardi is great as you've styled it with the bootcuts, keep! I am not so fond of it with the dress as it strikes me as too much volume. The new bag is really cool, LOVE the color!</p> <p>And your shoes, especially the MM are really great! </p> <p>What's wrong with the black belt? Is there a better color you were considering? Just curious..... </p>
