I think I'll only keep the first black top. The blazer is a bit big and the sleeves are tad short. The b&#38;w tunic is pretty unflattering, and while the purple one is a bit better, it's still not so good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-redoute-clearance-alert-038-new-purchases#post-18693 Sun, 03 Aug 2008 20:20:56 +0000 Kyle 18693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya: The first top is very chic and distinctive. It's a keeper. I also really like the blazer. It has a funky twist and looks great with the jeans. I'm not sure about the tunics. The one labeled black and white stripe reads oatmeal on my monitor, and it does not do you justice. The belted dress shows off your tiny waist. I think I would prefer that one worn as a dress instead of over jeans. Hope this helps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-redoute-clearance-alert-038-new-purchases#post-18688 Sun, 03 Aug 2008 19:23:28 +0000 katieck 18688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a complete pain, Tanya. I'm sorry you have to deal w/ this. Better luck tomorrow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-redoute-clearance-alert-038-new-purchases#post-18665 Sun, 03 Aug 2008 18:04:48 +0000 Tanya 18665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for you compassion ladies. There's nothing much on the agenda today, other than getting some sleep ( we hardly got any because there were tons of things to be done before the trip, since this is also BF's moving out trip) and maybe going to our favorite restaurant for dinner. Then tomorrow morning it's the airport again </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-redoute-clearance-alert-038-new-purchases#post-18661 Sun, 03 Aug 2008 17:39:25 +0000 Angie 18661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no.

What's on the agenda today? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-redoute-clearance-alert-038-new-purchases#post-18659 Sun, 03 Aug 2008 17:23:49 +0000 Lena 18659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to hear about airline delays, Tanya.

So after an 'exciting' round trip to the airport we are back at home, about to go to sleep. Tomorrow we shall try for the second time to leave, but that's one vacation day less. I hate airlines sometimes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-redoute-clearance-alert-038-new-purchases#post-18637 Sun, 03 Aug 2008 13:43:21 +0000 Ana 18637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have a great trip, Tanya! Have fun in NM (you'll be so close by!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-redoute-clearance-alert-038-new-purchases#post-18616 Sun, 03 Aug 2008 04:57:23 +0000 Angie 18616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohhh! I’m sorry I missed you. Have a super trip!</p> <p>Love the black top and the rest of the items are nice, but not fabulous. I’d love to see your waistcoat over that black knit top. </p> <p>I say return the rest. The purple dress is too clingy. Beautiful colour though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-redoute-clearance-alert-038-new-purchases#post-18612 Sun, 03 Aug 2008 04:49:02 +0000 Tanya 18612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I Just wanted to say Goodbye to everyone, I am off to sleep and early tomorrow to the airport. I do not know how much time I'll have to post here while in NM. i shall miss you all a lot!</p> <p>I'll worry about which of these LR stuff to keep when I get back. Feel free to post your opinions though </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-redoute-clearance-alert-038-new-purchases#post-18567 Sat, 02 Aug 2008 21:04:29 +0000 Tanya 18567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, so is the consensus to keep the black top and purple tunic and return the rest? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-redoute-clearance-alert-038-new-purchases#post-18533 Sat, 02 Aug 2008 17:04:29 +0000 marianne 18533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with Nicole, I like the black top and the purple tunic looks good belted. How is their quality? If it's not very good, I wouldn't keep the tunic. I don't care much for b/w tunic - I think someone in her early 20s could maybe pull it off. The satin blazer shape isn't great, but it would be a fun piece otherwise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-redoute-clearance-alert-038-new-purchases#post-18531 Sat, 02 Aug 2008 16:32:14 +0000 Nicole 18531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the black top and the purple dress belted. Not crazy about the jacket--looks too big? and the other tunic top has funny bunches in the armpit area. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-redoute-clearance-alert-038-new-purchases#post-18528 Sat, 02 Aug 2008 16:11:42 +0000 Tanya 18528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, right now I'm feeling like keeping the black top, returning the striped tunic, and undecided on the jacket and purple dress. I'll wait for more advice from you great gals here </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-redoute-clearance-alert-038-new-purchases#post-18520 Sat, 02 Aug 2008 15:56:48 +0000 Dani 18520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, I LOVE the black tie blouse. The jacket is OK, I could take it or leave it. The others I would return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-redoute-clearance-alert-038-new-purchases#post-18518 Sat, 02 Aug 2008 15:53:28 +0000 Anonymous 18518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful Tanya! I really like the neck-tie blouse on you: it's very striking because of the fitted torso and voluminous sleeves... it's a keeper in my book! The grey crushed satin blazer looks a little short in the sleeves, but that could be easily fixed depending on how it is constructed. It isn't as curve-showing as some of your other outfits we've seen, but I know you were looking for that when you went to your conference - how do you feel about it? I love the tunics: I thought they was a dress originally and thought of pairing the striped one with a long jet-black beaded necklace, flats or heels, and a clutch for a night out! I like the purple tunic belted the best. However, I've not entered into wearing tunics yet, so we'd better trust the opinion to someone else besides me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-redoute-clearance-alert-038-new-purchases#post-18516 Sat, 02 Aug 2008 15:51:33 +0000 Tanya 18516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Cyan, I feel the same regarding LR. I kept checking their UK site whole summer and drooling over a lot of stuff and hoping that they are only late getting them in USA, but no luck. Same now for the fall. I am going to be extremely sad if they decide to ditch the USA site </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-redoute-clearance-alert-038-new-purchases#post-18502 Sat, 02 Aug 2008 15:39:50 +0000 cyan45 18502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oops: make the 'cut' </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-redoute-clearance-alert-038-new-purchases#post-18501 Sat, 02 Aug 2008 15:39:47 +0000 Tanya 18501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting. Thank you for your input. I absolutely love the black LS top, it's a definite keeper. It would be probably worn with something over it most of the time. </p> <p>I am still wondering about all the other items though. My Bf absolutely hates the striped tunic. You should have seen his face when I put it on </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-redoute-clearance-alert-038-new-purchases#post-18500 Sat, 02 Aug 2008 15:39:20 +0000 cyan45 18500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wow, unique looking pieces! my favorites are the belted tunic and blazer. the others are interesting too, but from my gut reaction, don't quite make the make somehow...what do you think?</p> <p>i bought a wrap sweater and cream 3/4 trench from la redoute a few years ago, and am sad their US priority has dwindled. their store is wonderful! i just checked the UK website, and shed a tear </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-redoute-clearance-alert-038-new-purchases#post-18465 Sat, 02 Aug 2008 13:33:48 +0000 katieck 18465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sihaya, we have completely opposing opinions on the first two items. So funny! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-redoute-clearance-alert-038-new-purchases#post-18461 Sat, 02 Aug 2008 13:26:46 +0000 Sihaya 18461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, these are good. I especially love the crushed satin blazer. I prefer the purple tunic dress unbelted. And I'm puzzled by the black tie neck top - I think it's really pretty and looks good on your body. At the same time, that would be the first piece I'd choose to return - I think it may be that there are one too many curves on it? Your own wonderful curves, the curves on the sleeve and the neck cutout? It could probably be mitigated by having a jacket or cardi on top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-redoute-clearance-alert-038-new-purchases#post-18460 Sat, 02 Aug 2008 13:25:28 +0000 katieck 18460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the LR clearance info. I have a couple items from them which I like--one of them being the brown cropped cardi I wore yesterday. :)</p> <p>OK, down to business:</p> <p>I really like the black tie neck top. A keeper, in my opinion. I'm not crazy about the gray satin jacket on you. I don't know if the wrinkly effect is throwing me off, but I'm not feeling like it really maximizes your great figure. Let me go back and look at the last 2 photos again... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-redoute-clearance-alert-038-new-purchases#post-18434 Sat, 02 Aug 2008 04:03:34 +0000 Tanya 18434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For those of you who are not familiar with it, this is a French catalog retailer that has inexpensive trendy stuff. Angie blogged about them a while ago:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2006/09/08/the-la-redoute-catalogue/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2006/09/.....catalogue/</a></p> <p>There are currently having a huge clearance. There are great bargains to be had. For some reason, they haven't received any new merchandise for Spring 2008 and it seems that they won't for fall either- maybe they decided to stop having business in USA.</p> <p>Here's what I have just received from them. I am looking for a very honest feedback, I am trying to limit the additions to my wardrobe to only perfect stuff ( at least 8 on 1-10 scale). I think that some items are keepers and for the others I am not so sure. So please critique away!</p> <p>1.
