I bought mine specifically to be a travel raincoat, since it's lightweight and easy to pack, but I love it so much and it's so versatile that I wear it quite a bit at home too. That might change this fall since I'm so in love with the metallic bronze one I bought in this year's sale, but I'll still be very happy to have this one for travel. </p> <p>All of that is by way of saying, I think you'll really enjoy the one you've picked out so I hope it works out for you.&nbsp;</p> <p>What a fun homecoming you'll have, coming home to all these packages full of pretty colors and new thing to wear!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jumping-in-with-both-feet#post-1940625 Tue, 24 Jul 2018 01:45:26 +0000 Ginger 1940625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie</b>, I am now super excited to get my haul!</p> <p>That's great to hear,&nbsp;<b>Roberta</b>. I hope I like it. I almost didn't order but then I got nervous it would disappear. Good thing I did, since it appears to be gone now.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Like the Season</b>, I will definitely report back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jumping-in-with-both-feet#post-1940608 Tue, 24 Jul 2018 00:31:56 +0000 Like the Season 1940608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous colors! I'm especially in love with the Free People top in green. Will be anxious to hear how everything works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jumping-in-with-both-feet#post-1940602 Tue, 24 Jul 2018 00:06:56 +0000 Roberta 1940602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Saw that scarf in the store and had to put my hands in my pockets. Such a beautiful design and textile. I hope you just love it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jumping-in-with-both-feet#post-1940597 Mon, 23 Jul 2018 23:45:59 +0000 Angie 1940597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NICE</p> <p><b>Ginger</b>, you're going to LOVE some of those tops. Fab colours </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jumping-in-with-both-feet#post-1940586 Mon, 23 Jul 2018 23:12:30 +0000 Ginger 1940586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the confirmation,&nbsp;<b>Suz</b>! I was surprised how much I enjoyed shopping for these, and how excited I am to see how it all works when they arrive.</p> <p>Thank you,&nbsp;<b>Kate</b>! I have to admit I will be in a pickle if the Free People top works. It's still a bit pricey to triplicate! :p&nbsp; I'm pretty excited about the raincoat, too.</p> <p><b>Janet</b>, I certainly hope they work. I adore these skirts, but it's been surprisingly hard finding tops that can balance them without competing for attention.</p> <p><b>Berkley Girl</b>, I hope the drape jacket comes back in stock, for you! I keep the tabs open for things I'm stalking I just refresh regularly. Both the tunic and raincoat were things I found at odd times, like late at night or mid-morning on Sunday. Anyway, thanks for the best wishes! The FP tee could be a real winner for several combinations. And I'm silly excited about the scarf, although it will be probably three months before I can bear to wear it.</p> <p>Thank you,&nbsp;<b>unfrumped</b>! Crossing my fingers. ;)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jumping-in-with-both-feet#post-1940567 Mon, 23 Jul 2018 21:07:03 +0000 unfrumped 1940567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hoping a bunch of these work out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jumping-in-with-both-feet#post-1940550 Mon, 23 Jul 2018 20:10:05 +0000 Berkeley Girl 1940550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also committed to pink here! And I’ve also ordered the pink sweatshirt tunic, which I think will be such a useful go-to piece. Or more accurately, to-go, haha — to go over yoga clothes, running weekend errands, out for a walk, etc. (What I really wanted for that was the Caslon drape jacket, in cream, but it sold out so quickly — I tried to order it the first day and it was already gone. I’m holding out some faint hope that they’ll restock it; they really should since it’s so popular! But even if I can get it, this other piece is so cute and so useful that if it works I might keep both.) </p> <p>The other piece that pops out for me here is the rainbow thermal tea, which is just lovely in the photos. I can see why you’re considering multiple colors, and hope it works for you.</p> <p>Also the pretty scarf, which will go with so many of the other pieces you’ve chosen, and will be a real asset for pulling outfits together. </p> <p>Fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jumping-in-with-both-feet#post-1940543 Mon, 23 Jul 2018 19:40:52 +0000 JAileen 1940543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m with you - I’m wearing pink too, after years of avoiding it. Your picks look really good. I think they will look good with vintage skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jumping-in-with-both-feet#post-1940530 Mon, 23 Jul 2018 18:56:20 +0000 Kate 1940530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love a good fun sleeve too, and you've made some great choices, Ginger. That Free People top looks like a real winner for your wardrobe if it works out.&nbsp; Even though pink looks like death on me, I love pink for your coloring. My mother has pale skin and red hair and always looked gorgeous in pink. Fingers crossed for the pink raincoat. Love that hooded trench in pink. Looking forward to your posting pictures when you come back to your Christmas in August haul. Enjoy your vacation! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jumping-in-with-both-feet#post-1940526 Mon, 23 Jul 2018 18:52:52 +0000 Suz 1940526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ginger, these all look very much like your style and I can see them being terrific on you if the fits are good. Looking forward to your reviews when they arrive! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jumping-in-with-both-feet#post-1940519 Mon, 23 Jul 2018 18:38:50 +0000 Ginger 1940519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(Clever title, eh? Except I'm not buying any shoes. Hmm.)</p> <p>This is the first year I've really participated in the NAS. I'm actually at a pretty good point with my wardrobe, and I'm getting ever more picky as time goes on. But I am needing a bra refresh, and I remembered a couple of holes in my wardrobe from last fall/winter. So I shopped!</p> <p>Most of my holes are for long sleeve tops, fairly tailored and warm-ish, in pretty colors, particularly pastels. Nice tees and thin sweaters are best. I particularly want them for pairing with patterned vintage skirts and untucked with skinny jeans.</p> <p>Vince Camuto Bubble Sleeve tee - in red. I love fun sleeves! Volume on top with a tailored waist is usually very flattering for me, and works either untucked with jeans or tucked into a big skirt.</p> <p>Bobeau Blouson Sleeve top - in emerald green. Small has been sold out since I could order, but I did order a small petite. Despite my height I am shortwaisted with regular arm length, and I have success with short sleeve tops in petite sizes. I love this color and I'm hoping the sleeves will be generous.</p> <p>Free People Rainbow Thermal tee - in pink, blue, and green. Reviews are dubious on this, but the colors, and color combinations, have home run potential for me. One of my skirts is a gorgeous pale yellow quilted satin that needs a soft but saturated color to balance it; the green may be perfect, if it fits and feels right.</p> <p>Halogen Knit Cotton Tee - in apricot and red. The apricot is one of the few pastels I found. I'm considering the green, but it is very dark.</p> <p>1901 Ringer Tee - also in red. I won't keep all of these red shirts even if they all fit, but I wear red a lot in cool weather.</p> <p>Gibson Blouson Sleeve Fleece Pullover - in pink. I'm desperate for cozy pastels, so I snagged this although it's a wild card. It looks pretty boxy. But I will just have to try it.</p> <p>I am committed to pink, in case it wasn't clear.</p> <p>Treasure &amp; Bond Tassel Scarf - in pink. This is a wild card. Historically I do not wear scarves much. I have pretty jewelry they cover up, they tend to fall off my narrow shoulders, and I wear a badge at work. So it gets complicated. But this is one of the most gorgeous colors and prints I've ever seen (with bonus tassels). It also has the potential to lighten up my winter wardrobe in a big way. It leans very, very heavily to burgundy, forest green, navy, and black - which is why I'm so desperate for pastels to pair with things. I can see this scarf going a long way.</p> <p>Caslon Hooded Tunic - in pink. This is a long shot, both on fit and fabrication. But I love my short dress + leggings combinations.</p> <p>Cole Haan Back Bow Hooded Raincoat - in pink. My splurge! If it works. I don't strictly have a need for a raincoat, but it's beautiful and I know I will use it. This is one I had to stalk. Thankfully it has shipped.</p> <p>Most of these are still "Getting Ready" since Friday morning. I'm guessing they're buried in the open access orders from that day. Most of my more recent orders (including the scarf, tunic, and raincoat) are already shipped.</p> <p>I am also going on vacation from now until August 2. It will be CHRISTMAS when I get back to the house. Boxes galore! </p>
