These are low already.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's taken me some time to feel comfortable in oversized clothing, and I admit this shirt is a blatant lemming purchase. I never would have looked at it myself - I also never look at the BR site anymore as there are no stores around here and the pricing model is so different now with their new direction. &nbsp;And lastly, yes, your influence has a lot to do with it &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lots-of-ordering-going-on-reviews-etc#post-2318302 Sat, 15 Apr 2023 13:13:16 +0000 Irina 2318302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting, I like higher necks or crew necks on tops and I have a large chest myself. Hope the MD top will work for you.&nbsp;<div>Also, I’m surprised that an oversized striped shirt is so popular. I like it but I wear my clothes oversized. Maybe my style is gaining popularity on the forum? :)</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lots-of-ordering-going-on-reviews-etc#post-2318266 Fri, 14 Apr 2023 23:35:01 +0000 Janet 2318266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great purchases!</p> <p>I like that BR top a lot on Suz, and I bet it suits you too. The shorts are so good! That inseam is a good length on me and is not always easy to find, so great score there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lots-of-ordering-going-on-reviews-etc#post-2318249 Fri, 14 Apr 2023 19:29:29 +0000 Jonesy 2318249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your new purchases look fabulous! I love that print dress--it looks chic, summery, and so versatile! Awesome striped linen sweater too, and that boxy striped shirt looks great. I happen to love that sort of taupe-y brown color. Also love your lavender short sleeved sweatshirt--I have my eye on a light blue one. Too bad about the Zara print top... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lots-of-ordering-going-on-reviews-etc#post-2318130 Fri, 14 Apr 2023 02:30:09 +0000 Roberta 2318130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shorts are particularly good - that elusive 7 inch inseam! It is so hard to find shorts in the right length. They look perfectly comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lots-of-ordering-going-on-reviews-etc#post-2318126 Fri, 14 Apr 2023 02:07:56 +0000 Sal 2318126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice collection of pieces!&nbsp; Really like the dress and the print - perfect weekend piece.&nbsp; The lavender top appeals to me ( I have just added two lilac/lavendar merino tops and am loving the colour at the moment) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lots-of-ordering-going-on-reviews-etc#post-2318125 Fri, 14 Apr 2023 02:06:05 +0000 slim cat 2318125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice collection! Great to find the perfect shorts in the spring time plus pretty shirt to wear with pretty much everything . Hope the dress and the rest of the pieces will work out ( lavender sweatshirt - yummy ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lots-of-ordering-going-on-reviews-etc#post-2318116 Fri, 14 Apr 2023 01:19:28 +0000 Kari 2318116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sleeveless, knotted sweater looks like it could be an awesome fit with your style, Lisa. It has that blend of elegant and refined and comfortable. Hoping the new orders work out well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lots-of-ordering-going-on-reviews-etc#post-2318109 Fri, 14 Apr 2023 00:57:05 +0000 LJP 2318109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m also looking for a dressier pair of cream coloured mules or flats . I’ve got spring fever in a bad way, haha. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lots-of-ordering-going-on-reviews-etc#post-2318107 Fri, 14 Apr 2023 00:45:02 +0000 Dee 2318107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shame about the puff sleeves but it looks like you’ve got the makings of a nice summer refresh. Hope the Simon’s order works out for you as well. Those sandals look great for summer. Hmm… I’ll have to check them out since its Bay Days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lots-of-ordering-going-on-reviews-etc#post-2318104 Fri, 14 Apr 2023 00:33:19 +0000 Angie 2318104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! I fully understand, <b>LJP.</b> It has to feel right! Which this didn't. I am always on the side of the wearer :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lots-of-ordering-going-on-reviews-etc#post-2318102 Fri, 14 Apr 2023 00:30:07 +0000 LJP 2318102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - I just don’t feel me in a puffed sleeve . I think had it been a really dramatically puffed sleeve then maybe , but it’s just too prim for me . I expected a completely different shape and think I must have been thinking about a different blouse to be honest . The colour and print were perfect though . Oh well ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lots-of-ordering-going-on-reviews-etc#post-2318100 Fri, 14 Apr 2023 00:26:42 +0000 Angie 2318100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad the Zara blouse didn't work out, <b>LJP</b>! I could see the silhouette working beautifully on you since the sleeve lanterns above a broad cuff as well as the subtle puff on the crown. Elegant. Oh well! Not for you. Next ;)</p> <p>I'm excited to see <b>Suz's </b>striped blouse on you!&nbsp;</p> <p>Dress is super cute and I REALLY hope it works out.&nbsp;</p> <p>The knotted sweater could work well over wide crops!&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lots-of-ordering-going-on-reviews-etc#post-2318099 Fri, 14 Apr 2023 00:26:12 +0000 LJP 2318099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz - I’ve ordered often from Simon’s and have had NO issues with quality , shipping , navigating the website etc . I find items that are great value for the money , which is always what I’m looking out for . BR blouse colour is fine - just a surprise . </p> <p>JP. -I ordered an M in the blouse and it fit me fine . Any larger and the shoulders would have been off -which would have been fine had the sleeves not been puffed . The colour and print are really lovely . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lots-of-ordering-going-on-reviews-etc#post-2318095 Fri, 14 Apr 2023 00:07:29 +0000 Suz 2318095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad about the blouse -- it had potential. Zara sizing tends to be on the narrow side except when it is ultra oversized, LOL. Colours would have been lovely.&nbsp;</p> <p>Shorts look fab for you and it's great to have that sorted at the start of the season.&nbsp;</p> <p>I hope the BR top works out. You can try it with a few pants to see if you like the colour, no? </p> <p>And the other items, too! Sandals are definitely a no brainer for you and thanks for the Bay Days reminder. </p> <p>I will be curious to hear about the Simon's ordering experience. I have looked and looked but never purchased from them. But a friend recently showed up wearing a really great print shirt she got there. And I do like a lot of what they carry and it is not too hard to negotiate the web site.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the Massimo Dutti top, too. It's quite elegant.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lots-of-ordering-going-on-reviews-etc#post-2318091 Thu, 13 Apr 2023 23:56:34 +0000 JP 2318091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great shopping! I like your purchases and I hope the rest will work for you as you've pictured them. I just ordered the Zara shirt and I too did not read the reviews to size up, but based on their size guide I ordered large instead of medium, so I hope it will fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lots-of-ordering-going-on-reviews-etc#post-2318080 Thu, 13 Apr 2023 23:13:13 +0000 LJP 2318080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been on a bit of tear with on-line ordering. Here's what I've <b>ordered and received:</b></p> <p>1. <b>Zara printed blouse </b>- mentioned on the blog a few days ago - <b>returning</b>. I didn't notice the puffed sleeves in the photo, nor did I notice the reviews that suggested going up a size. &nbsp;Grr. &nbsp;The puff sleeves are a deal breaker for me when they are a regular set-in sleeve (I don't mind them on a dropped sleeve). The overall quality was just meh, and it looked like a $55 shirt and nothing more. &nbsp;</p> <p>2<b>. ON denim shorts - perfect</b>. &nbsp;Loose fit, longer length and wider leg. &nbsp;I'm set for the summer now in this category.</p> <p>3. <b>BR striped shirt - as per Suz </b>;) &nbsp;Used my GAP/BR points for a bit of a discount, and I'm <b>excited to wear this</b> . Super cute - only surprise was that the colour is a much cooler brown (verging on grey) than the website suggested. &nbsp;</p> <p>4.<b> Massimo Dutti linen blend sleeveless sweater</b>. &nbsp;<b>Undecided</b> here . &nbsp;It's a great colour, and an interesting piece, but I need to try it on again with a minimizer bra to see if it helps with the very high neckline (often not the best look with a larger chest ) . &nbsp;Super cute though and top-notch quality . &nbsp;</p> <p>The <b>second batch are on order from Simons</b>&nbsp;and the <b>sa</b><b>ndals from the Bay &nbsp;</b>.No finds are available - all are in screen shots below.</p> <p>1. linen striped oversize sweater - a bit of a departure for me (the stripes) and I'm excited to see it.<br />2. print dress - hoping this is as cute IRL . I imagine wearing this just about everywhere in hot weather. &nbsp;</p> <p>3. peach skin lavender short sleeved sweatshirt - another no-brainer and expect to put it into rotation immediately.<br />4.. Cougar suede and leather sandals. &nbsp;Not much can go wrong here - this is a no-brainer style and fit for me. &nbsp;Bay Days pricing is really good too . &nbsp; </p>
