I usually just follow in your footsteps!</p> <p>Ramya, the dress keeps selling out and then coming back into stock, especially the petite sizes. I have it in a size 4 Regular. I'm not sure which one I'll be keeping yet, but let me know if you want the other. I would be happy to send it you.</p> <p>KKards, I haven't worn espadrilles in years, but I have always loved them. I need to put them on my shopping list.</p> <p>Jeanne, lobster rolls and chowdah at the Cape! am so jealous. Have some fried clams for me, but make sure they are the ones with the bellies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/madras/page/2#post-960769 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 12:21:07 +0000 Jjsloane 960769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun thread Deborah! I'll be at the Cape next week with my people (my family and&nbsp;the preppys) Looking forward to Lobstah rolls and Chowdah!</p> <p>I think the Southie Boston accent (think Affleck boys in Good Will Hunting) use wicked alot.&nbsp;</p> <p>Glad you are sorted and my most comfortable summer shoes are espadrilles (wedges no less). I'm hunting for flat ones now and contemplating the Liberty print ones at Lord &amp; Taylor.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/madras/page/2#post-960742 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 10:25:25 +0000 kkards 960742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>they both look wicked good, (another new england native girl -- anyone else love the hopper commercials), but i like the lighter one best. &nbsp;<br />i haven't felt the pull of the madras this year, but i admit that i still have a pair of espadrilles&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/madras/page/2#post-960702 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 08:21:21 +0000 ramya 960702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deb:D An Indian from a region close to Madras(Or Chennai as it is called now) :D<br />I normally don't like the Madras print coz it reminds us of the lounge clothes that men wear at the villages see <u><a href="https://www.google.no/search?q=lungi&amp;oe=utf-8&amp;aq=t&amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;client=firefox-a&amp;channel=fflb&amp;um=1&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;hl=en&amp;tbm=isch&amp;source=og&amp;sa=N&amp;tab=wi&amp;ei=pLvCUfqKIfKL4gS174CoCg&amp;biw=1366&amp;bih=704&amp;sei=ubvCUYu5O-GG4ASm4IDQCw" rel="nofollow">link :P</a></u></p> <p>But I love both of this so much that I am contemplating the shipping cost to Norway...

Some people have a knack for accents and soak them up like sponges. I didn't pick up on Valley Girl when I met you. Now that I think about it, I think the award for most endearing accent must go to our Angie. I could have listened to her all day!</p> <p>Kristin, I bet you'll be dreaming in a British accent next! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/madras/page/2#post-960595 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 02:58:21 +0000 Kristin SF 960595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, I just caught up on all my Downton Abbey and I've caught myself actually "thinking" in a British accent, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/madras/page/2#post-960577 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 02:42:02 +0000 Diana 960577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I didn't notice an accent when I met you.&nbsp; Mine (the valley girl) comes and goes and some people notice it a lot more than others.&nbsp; </p> <p>My husband is a singer, and picks up accents super quickly.&nbsp; He is a native Bostonian but doesn't really normally have a Boston accent.&nbsp; But he picks it up when he talks to other people who do have the accent, and he also picks up a British accent (he spent a couple of years at school in the UK) when talking to Brits or, actually, when watching British TV or movies.&nbsp; It cracks me up.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/madras/page/2#post-960562 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 02:27:40 +0000 Angie 960562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wooohooo!

They nailed the accent and I died when that baseball cap kept switching from NY to the Sox, lol!</p> <p>Angie, that makes perfect sense. I have to tell you that Mr. Debora prefers the lighter version. Thanks for chiming back in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/madras/page/2#post-960541 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 02:11:49 +0000 Angie 960541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Debs, brunettes wear ALL blues well :). To my eye the lighter blue is more fresh and youthful - the darker blue more expected. FWIW! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/madras#post-960538 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 02:08:50 +0000 catgirl 960538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you don't mind the language (and there is a bit), someone from back home JUST posted this to my FB! &nbsp;The QUINTESSENTIAL Boston accent and attitude:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWVcIn7Q4Cc">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWVcIn7Q4Cc</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/madras#post-960536 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 02:05:03 +0000 Debora 960536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia, you are getting closer in geography now. I don't think I have an accent, either. </p> <p>Diana, you've met me... accent or no? I am laughing at the thought of a valley girl-accented wicked!</p> <p>Una, that it too funny! I am in stitches! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/madras#post-960534 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 01:59:10 +0000 Jaime 960534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Come to think of it my mother is from Pittsfield and she doesn't have a New England accent at all - nor have I ever heard her say wicked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/madras#post-960533 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 01:58:58 +0000 Diana 960533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, I say wicked on occasion but in my valley girl accent. =P.

To be truthful, my nieces and nephews use the word wicked much more than I do. Every so often my Mom will burst out with one. :)</p> <p> Una, I would be so curious to hear your voice some day. Ok, you ladies who have met Una - does she drop her 'R's' ?</p> <p>Ceit, thanks so much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/madras#post-960522 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 01:49:58 +0000 Debora 960522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh gosh, this is going to be a tough decision! The votes for the darker version have taken a slight lead.. Can you see me wearing madras? I have visions of wearing it at Cape Cod or while visiting my girl friends in Maine, LOL. Full disclosure: it's been at least 25 years since I've been to the Cape.</p> <p>Kristin, Long Island is close enough - hello neighbor!</p> <p>Joy, I ALWAYS try to match my outfits to the wall paper. BTW, was it you who said we have the same wallpaper?</p> <p>Donna, so funny about your flannel duster! I can see why you are leaning towards the darker color. :)</p> <p>Angie, I'm surprised! I thought for sure you would say the darker blue because I'm brunette. Is is because I have warm tones in my hair or is it my skin color?</p> <p>Debbie, thanks! Good point about personal preference.</p> <p>Suz and Janet, the two of you are cracking me up with your talk of Mr. Suz, dresses and cowboy boots!</p> <p>Caro, my eyes are brown with amber flecks. They have warm tones to them.</p> <p>Rachy, Excellent point! I was thinking of my tan sandals might look better with the darker dress.</p> <p>Sarah, I love NH! Have a wonderful time.</p> <p>Diana, I was wondering about the same thing. Lots to ponder here!</p> <p>Una, we have the same home state! :)</p> <p>Jeanne, no one does preppy like you do! You always wear it to perfection. Vineyard washed - that's a perfect description.</p> <p>Una and Jeanne, stop it!!!! You girls know I have fussy feet! Now you have me thinking about huaraches and all sorts of unsuitable (for me) footwear.</p> <p>Thanks, Shannon!</p> <p>I hope I didn't leave anyone out.
