You really know how to put something on and make it shine! I love it all, except possibly the coral sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----haul-from-trip-to-la#post-527559 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 03:56:06 +0000 Angie 527559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a perfect example of how to wear classic items in a VERY modern way. You haven't lost that edge though, Denise :)</p> <p>I see your style simplifying and I like it! All KILLER pieces. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----haul-from-trip-to-la#post-527510 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 02:54:24 +0000 sarah 527510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great haul, Denise. I LOVE the striped blazer - what fun! And the colored jeans are fab, too.</p> <p>The only thing I am not super excited about is the coral sweater - maybe it reminds me too much of something I wore in the distant past. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----haul-from-trip-to-la#post-527495 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 02:42:52 +0000 modgrl 527495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love everything, especially the green jeans. I have been eyeing a pair for myself. Colored denim is so addictive! The coral sweater seems big though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----haul-from-trip-to-la#post-527452 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 01:29:45 +0000 taylor 527452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Goot time and good haul from L.A:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----haul-from-trip-to-la#post-527445 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 01:24:37 +0000 Jaime 527445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #1,2 and 3. Both jackets and the blouse and the jeans all look superb. I love the color in the blue and black sweater and the salmon sweater, but don't think the salmon sweater looks as great on you as the rest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----haul-from-trip-to-la#post-527377 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 00:12:18 +0000 Parsley 527377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Denise,<br /> The black blazer is great- I think you'll wear it a ton. The pinstripe shirt is another good basic.<br /> The striped jacket I'm having more trouble with. I really like it and it looks great on you. So what's the problem? I'm just having trouble reconciling it with my image of your style. But it could be that it's part of a style evolution, in which case that's great. My question is- does it feel like "you" ? If so, cool!</p> <p>The green skinnies look great, and I have to agree with spending a smaller amount on a trendy item. (although I do LOVE the Sevens in Una's link!)</p> <p>The striped sweater from F21 looks good, and Yay for made in the USA!</p> <p>The coral sweater is a nice color, but the I think it's the fit that I'm not loving. Or maybe I'd like that fit in a gray or black edgy color but it seems wrong with a "sweeter" coral color. I don't know, but if it feels good to you, what the heck- go for it!</p> <p>Anyway, great choices, you look terrific as always. Your LA get-together looked like so much fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----haul-from-trip-to-la#post-527375 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 00:08:26 +0000 morethanbeige 527375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great haul, cl! I love both jackets and both sweaters. And I actually love the color of the coral sweater. It looks cozy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----haul-from-trip-to-la#post-527369 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 23:58:48 +0000 Jjsloane 527369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you got a a great haul. I think they all look good on you. My personal favorites are 1-3. 4 is just not my style. I think the coral sweater looks totally cozy and drapey at the same time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----haul-from-trip-to-la#post-527366 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 23:57:00 +0000 Travelgal Nicole 527366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look at everything you scored. Looks great on you and my faves are the green skinnies and the blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----haul-from-trip-to-la#post-527365 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 23:55:24 +0000 Deborah 527365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*Giggling* you should send that Caslon Striped jacket to me!!! That jacket is stunning on you. I love it. And the green skinny jeans are fabulous.</p> <p>I love #1 and #2 very classic. </p> <p>I actually like the coral sweater and can see how this would be a great casual peice but in fact could be dressed up also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----haul-from-trip-to-la#post-527363 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 23:52:14 +0000 catgirl 527363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm good with the shape, it's the color giving me trouble. It's just not a color I like, though, in any context (other than actual salmon!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----haul-from-trip-to-la#post-527359 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 23:50:06 +0000 CocoLion 527359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary and Rae -- I was jonesing for our meet up which was exactly a week ago! That was truly the most fun I've had -with girls- in a long long time. </p> <p>I hear everyone on the salmon sweater. The funny thing, it's the first thing from my haul that I wanted to wear. I like looking at the color and it feels good. Maybe I'll ask the DBF (dear boyfriend) what he thinks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----haul-from-trip-to-la#post-527357 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 23:45:01 +0000 rae 527357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW, that blazer is so much nicer on you than the online pic! So gorgeous - now I want one, too!</p> <p>Actually, I love everything except for the coral sweater, which I don't think hits at the most flattering spot. Still don't *hate* it, but the rest is just so perfect. You look great in a collared shirt and blazer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----haul-from-trip-to-la#post-527350 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 23:33:54 +0000 catgirl 527350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, you've seen these, right? They are a crazy gorgeous shade of green IRL!</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/7-for-all-mankind-the-skinny-overdyed-jeans-kelly-green-wash/3231489?origin=keywordsearch&#038;resultback=0" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/7-.....sultback=0</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----haul-from-trip-to-la#post-527347 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 23:32:24 +0000 MsMary 527347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise, much as i would love for you to come back down here right this minute and return it all and start over, I have to say I think all of it is fab-u-licious!!</p> <p>You totally rock the classic looks in 1-2. Love the new sweaters in 4-5.</p> <p>OH MY GOODNESS! THAT STRIPED BLAZER!!! Love times a million! It is so cute and chic and witty and playful on you that I just. cannot. stand. it. So fab!!</p> <p>And the green skinnies look great!</p> <p>Hurry back so we can have another playdate!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----haul-from-trip-to-la#post-527345 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 23:31:15 +0000 catgirl 527345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am all about F21 finds! I like almost everything. The first outfit is a wonderful suit look to my eyes. What are the pants - are they skinny jeans or something else? That striped jacket is great too. It's all good! I kind of have poison-eye for coral or salmon so I'll let others chime in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----haul-from-trip-to-la#post-527340 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 23:29:27 +0000 annagybe 527340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK so the stripes on the Calson jacket are very Sonia Rykiel. Love the green skinnies (plus I've been seeing that color in skinnies everywhere, and am now kicking myself for not getting a pair of Current/Elliott that I saw at the Rack). Blazer is good too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----haul-from-trip-to-la#post-527337 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 23:24:42 +0000 CocoLion 527337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking at everything, I went pretty modern classic, Angie I see your influence!</p> <p>1 -- Banana Republic basic lightweight wool jacket (wardrobe hole filler).<br /> <a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=17132&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=423456" rel="nofollow">http://bananarepublic.gap.com/.....pid=423456</a></p> <p>2 -- Banana Republic blue pinstripe shirt. Another basic.<br /> <a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=5039&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=429803" rel="nofollow">http://bananarepublic.gap.com/.....pid=429803</a></p> <p>3 -- Two new items: Caslon knit striped jacket.<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/caslon-one-button-knit-blazer/3262597?origin=keywordsearch&#038;resultback=0" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ca.....sultback=0</a></p> <p>and, kelly green skinny jeans from F21, couldn't find on line. These ($15.50) replace a pair of bright pink skinny jeans from CoH ($194) that were not very comfortable and pretty spendy for a trend item. So I returned them.</p> <p>4 -- Striped sweater from F21 (couldn't find on line). I was really happy to find Made in USA sweaters at F21. </p> <p>5/6 -- Caslon coral sweater. I sized up, it was on sale and really really soft, this is borderline loungewear to me. I see both of these sweaters as immediate-use, from now until May.<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/caslon-v-neck-shaker-stitch-sweater/3211556?origin=keywordsearch&#038;resultback=1474" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ca.....tback=1474</a></p> <p>Please feel free to direct your comments in any of the following directions:<br /> - Anything that needs to go back?<br /> - Any styling suggestions?<br /> - Does the classic preppy look suit me?</p> <p>Thank you very much for looking and commenting!<br /> Denise </p>
