But that's good.</p> <p>I often wear a sweatshirt at home at nights, to and from yoga or pickleball, or with jeans at the beach.&nbsp; I like the patagonia grey one and the stripe one - the red fleece is very much utilitarian and I only wear it gardening or walking etc..&nbsp; It's a good colour, but not a good shape on me.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/march-has-been-a-shopping-month#post-2408878 Wed, 25 Mar 2026 21:12:09 +0000 Suz 2408878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love the new cream boots and the dramatic pants! Those are especially fab, but all your new items look good. I like the idea of a bright sweatshirt for you - -it has crossover appeal.&nbsp;</p> <p>I got a red sweatshirt this fall and it has proved to be a workhorse, especially with my accident, since it is a zip thru style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/march-has-been-a-shopping-month#post-2408838 Tue, 24 Mar 2026 23:44:48 +0000 Sal 2408838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks LJP.&nbsp; I love red especially with denim.</p> <p>Roberta - you can have the dark red and I will take the tomato!</p> <p>Thank you Jaime - I hope they get good wear.&nbsp; The wide legs are proving useful already.</p> <p>Angie - 80s and 90s!!&nbsp; My red pants have a tinge of rust - I might create a column of red but I think it will be hard to get the undertones harmonious.</p> <p>Slimcat - I suit true red or tomato red - and I like a raglan sleeve sweatshirt not a drop shoulder..... I would also consider coral or lilac - or yellow - something cheerful to wear with jeans on an easy weekend day or night.</p> <p>Lise, Lisa and Robin - thank you!!&nbsp; I am looking forward to them all too.</p> <p>Sisi - I bought the skirt to wear with my long blazer and a black top&nbsp; (or ivory top) for more dressy occasions.&nbsp; I think I could wear it more casually too and it might work the right sweater.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks - I am yet to wear the black trousers and slip skirt.&nbsp; The others have all had at least one wear.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I think because retail is struggling here that neutrals are even more popular.... since December three local boutiques have closed - there has been one new one open - and two closed last year.</p> <p>That leaves me with two locally owned boutiques (fitting my tastes) plus a couple in small neighbouring towns.&nbsp; I am not their largest customer but that is my first choice.....We do have a couple of NZ designer stores as well plus a variety of chain/mall/high street brands, some Australian and some NZ.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/march-has-been-a-shopping-month#post-2408814 Tue, 24 Mar 2026 14:54:20 +0000 Lisa 2408814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely new additions. I especially like the ivory boots. I have two pairs of ivory boots (one with a square heel and one combat style) and they both get lots of wear, very easy to pair into outfits. A red sweatshirt sounds like a fun future addition! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/march-has-been-a-shopping-month#post-2408808 Tue, 24 Mar 2026 12:45:53 +0000 RobinF 2408808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great new pieces! New jeans are very exciting and I love the boots!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/march-has-been-a-shopping-month#post-2408806 Tue, 24 Mar 2026 10:57:12 +0000 Sisi 2408806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great shopping, Sal! All the pieces are beautiful and very "Sal". I like them all and would wear them all in a heartbeat. A special mention for the satin skirt <b>(my</b> type of skirt, long and slim) and the fabulous cream booties. I encourage you to get the red sweatshirt. Now I am curious to see you sport your new purchases.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/march-has-been-a-shopping-month#post-2408803 Tue, 24 Mar 2026 04:22:20 +0000 Star (Lise) 2408803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look like well thought through additions that will have longevity. Well Done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/march-has-been-a-shopping-month#post-2408801 Tue, 24 Mar 2026 02:38:42 +0000 slim cat 2408801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice additions - excited about wide leg jeans and cream boots!&nbsp;<br />Red sweatshirt sounds like a fun option ( cherry red or true red?.. ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/march-has-been-a-shopping-month#post-2408797 Tue, 24 Mar 2026 01:28:31 +0000 Angie 2408797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OOOH! Cream boots and wide pleated pants! My '80s gene is tickled! I know these will be stellar on you :)&nbsp;</p> <p>The jeans look like awesome additions too. The black top and slip skirt swing you into the '90s! Excited to see it all in action,<b> Sal.</b></p> <p>YES to the red sweatshirt. Create a column with your red pants.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/march-has-been-a-shopping-month#post-2408792 Tue, 24 Mar 2026 00:38:46 +0000 Jaime 2408792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Makes sense that you are interested in more things as the seasons change Sal. The black trousers look great! Like your other picks too. A red sweatshirt (or sweater) sounds like a good plan too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/march-has-been-a-shopping-month#post-2408783 Mon, 23 Mar 2026 22:18:39 +0000 Roberta 2408783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good looking everything! Finding jeans you like is a struggle, so congratulations. Funny, I was also thinking about a red sweatshirt this past week. I have a red zip front hoodie that I like a lot, but I'd apparently like a pullover version too. Dark red, with no orange in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/march-has-been-a-shopping-month#post-2408782 Mon, 23 Mar 2026 22:06:09 +0000 LJP 2408782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice new pieces! &nbsp;I think a red sweatshirt would work well in your wardrobe. I get a fair bit of use from mine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/march-has-been-a-shopping-month#post-2408780 Mon, 23 Mar 2026 20:27:15 +0000 Sal 2408780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been on a shopping spree in March.</p> <p>After two months without shopping (and very little from September to December) I have bought quite a few things - and have some more in mind.</p> <p>- two pairs of denim, one wide leg and one slim straights.<br /> - a pair of cream ankle boots<br /> - black satin top <br /> - black pants - barrel leg?<br /> - satin slip skirt</p> <p>I have also had fun making up some capsules in finds based around autumn and winter toppers.</p> <p>I don't need much more this season - keen for a shirt and have found this one (see photo) that I am considering.  I think it would be great with navy, red and black work pants and blue and cream denim.</p> <p>I also would like a new knit, not sure what colour - or style - or price range.  </p> <p>I would also like something bright and cheerful as I seem to be adding more subdued colours.  Maybe a red sweatshirt for weekend wear would be just the ticket?  </p> <p>Then I think/hope I will be set up for winter.... </p>
