Good luck on the fit.</p> <p>The boots are exactly what I've been shopping for without success, too bad they're too wide. I seriously need a pair of warm boots to wear with a skirt for funerals where you stand around in the funeral parlor for hours and then go to the gravesite for the rest of the ceremony in the cold and wind with snow at least two feet deep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-pulled-the-trigger#post-782929 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:18:26 +0000 Suz 782929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Marianna. I could not really tell what the colour was; it is darker on the Nordstrom's site than elsewhere, but I was hopeful I would like it either way. The only trouble is that it might not work with denim. But since I want heeled boots more for wearing with dresses and skirts, and I think it will work with all my winter dresses and skirts whether it's sapphire or ink blue or something in between, I figured it was worth the risk. </p> <p>The dress is iffy. It's not lined. The fit may be off. The fabric may not be great. But the colour and style seemed really promising to me and I love Theory, so I figured it was worth a try; I can always return if it doesn't work. </p> <p>The jeans should be fine. I own another pair of DL jeans and love the quality. I sized up because I wanted a slightly more generous fit with the shiny brocade. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-pulled-the-trigger#post-782922 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:12:19 +0000 marianna 782922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous picks. I have seen the blue boots in person and the color is soooo pretty and unique. I hope they work for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-pulled-the-trigger#post-782852 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 10:35:05 +0000 Jjsloane 782852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have chosen wisely. May they fit as you wish them to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-pulled-the-trigger#post-782840 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 09:22:00 +0000 lyn67 782840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All beautifull Suz, can't wait to see!:-)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-pulled-the-trigger#post-782805 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 05:39:43 +0000 ManidipaM 782805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fingers crossed for fit and windfall alike, Suz! Lovely choices, all three, and I especially love the colour and drape of that dress. That purple should be so great with fuchsia... :-)</p> <p>It's funny---the drape-y waist of the dress actually reminded me of the tunic you struggled so much with until you pulled off that fabulous skirt pairing. And something about the patterned jeans reminds me of the luxurious sheen of those fuchsia pants from the suit... Seems there *was* a reason all along you were attracted to those pieces, even if they weren't quite there where you wanted to be. It's like an aspect of each is super-refined here... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-pulled-the-trigger#post-782608 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 00:31:04 +0000 rachylou 782608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Classy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-pulled-the-trigger#post-782604 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 00:27:03 +0000 Nicole D 782604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those boots are gorgeous!

I really like the boot too but I'm biased as a Born lover. I'm not a huge fan of the jeans but I bet you will make them look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-pulled-the-trigger#post-782548 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 23:34:37 +0000 Sveta 782548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck, Suz!

Lovely items.</p> <p>I'm afraid I caved and ordered from Cleo's CyberMonday specials. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-pulled-the-trigger#post-782532 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 23:16:29 +0000 Mochi 782532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, that dress was made for you, and those boots were made for that dress. The jeans will add a lot of fun to your life. I just had a money blowout with a few purchases but am looking at it as treating myself well. We are out in the world and function better and are perceived and treated better when we look like we are taking care to present our best selves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-pulled-the-trigger#post-782478 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 22:09:24 +0000 Anonymous 782478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These all look great!

I can't choose a favorite, the items are all excellent. I'm sorry for your financial windfall, but in my experience, the expenses will soon be forgotten, and if the pieces are right for you, you will get a lot of wear out of them all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-pulled-the-trigger#post-782386 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 20:19:11 +0000 Emily 782386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh, that will be an exciting box to open!
