Would be so tempting if it did!  Chris987 on "Meet-up "in the petites return line" :-)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-up-in-the-petites-return-line--/page/2#post-1982626 Fri, 14 Dec 2018 19:55:17 +0000 Chris987 1982626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ First of all, shiny and diana, of COURSE we could open up the possible Jan Boston meet-up to fabbers of all heights Great idea. Jane Somogy I guess you win the Queen Super Petite award! karen13 we'd do a global petites party if there was any way but the technology is not quite there...and glad you enjoyed the freedom trail (I did it as a Girl Scout) and Legal Seafood - always a treat. I still love eating there or at one of the several other locations.  A bit pricey but they do seafood better than any other restaurant I've ever been to.  robinf you can join us too. Yep the online ordering thing is such a hit or miss, it truly is frustrating. I don't find shoes any easier Thanks La P, Jaileen, kkards, Janet, Jussie, Elizabeth P, Suz, cindysmith, shevia Jenni NZ yes that's definitely a cute song... rachylou, I have heard anyone say "neato" in such a long time! Not that I literally heard you, but close enough. Love it! Jane you can definitly join us! shiny, thanks for the kind words, we really had a blast didn't we! I can tell you about my quite simple skin care regime if you wish. The reality is that even though I can partly attribute my good skin to a lifetime of  healthy habits, it's mostly genetic. My mom, at 90, has her fair share of wrinkles and sagging of course but very good skin overall. I'm very lucky that way. firecracker, if I had had my normal amount of returns we WOULD have been standing in the line together, although by plan not accident Angie you are spot on about Jennifer, a fun dynamo she is! She made sure we looked carefully at some luxury brands in Nordstrom that we knew would not fit but it was fun to look anyway! And thanks I hope to hug you someday too! Christina F sorta petite is close enough!

I've met her. Jennifer is fun and a little dynamo.  I haven't met Chris yet, but she screams gentle-intelligent-positive-kind lady on this forum, and I hope to hug you one day.   Firecracker (Sharan) on "Meet-up "in the petites return line" :-)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-up-in-the-petites-return-line--#post-1982472 Fri, 14 Dec 2018 05:13:01 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1982472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a riot--I love the title!

Did you find out whether that Teddy coat came in petites? It was beautiful on you. Such a pretty color.  Chris was very patient with me as I had a lot to return: I'd been deliberating holding on to packages I could have easily and more quickly returned to the mall that's closest to my house, but this was much more fun to meet up halfway and enjoy an afternoon.  Things I noticed about Chris: 1) she has such beautiful skin. It glows. I neglected to ask her what her secret is. Maybe next time she can give me a tutorial. and 2) her feet are adorable! As for future meet-ups, Diana (and anyone else who's local) let us know if you'd like us to include you.  Regarding my outfit: it wasn't all that different than other WIW's I've shared and it was pretty formulaic so you can probably imagine it:  1) ON high waisted rockstar skinny jeans 2) white boots 3) handbag (in this case the Lo&Son's Waverly, a small crossbody that is great for hands free shopping) 4) A Lord & Taylor V neck merino sweater -- I have this same sweater in a lot of different colors, acquired over the last few years. Meetup sweater was cobalt blue. Worn with scarf that matches the sweater.  5) Zebra print belt (to coordinate with white booties) 6) LOFT navy peacoat  Style Fan on "Meet-up "in the petites return line" :-)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-up-in-the-petites-return-line--#post-1982388 Thu, 13 Dec 2018 19:54:58 +0000 Style Fan 1982388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love hearing about meetups.  Thanks for the great write up Chris.     Elizabeth P on "Meet-up "in the petites return line" :-)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-up-in-the-petites-return-line--#post-1982384 Thu, 13 Dec 2018 19:10:27 +0000 Elizabeth P 1982384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <div>Love hearing about meet ups!</div><div>Of course I like hearing better with pics....  ;-)</div><div> </div> Diana on "Meet-up "in the petites return line" :-)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-up-in-the-petites-return-line--#post-1982376 Thu, 13 Dec 2018 18:34:26 +0000 Diana 1982376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Aww, this is so cute. :). So glad you two were able to meet up and had so much in common! Isn’t it great when that happens? We should have a Boston meetup soon. Maybe in the new year. I might even be shopping again then, lol.

I am only 5'2" so would fit right in! It is frustrating trying to find petites, plus I have bad luck with online ordering so it is even more frustrating. I mostly assume I will have to buy regular sizes and alter. Maybe that's why I love shoes! karen13 on "Meet-up "in the petites return line" :-)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-up-in-the-petites-return-line--#post-1982325 Thu, 13 Dec 2018 16:47:29 +0000 karen13 1982325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So fun! I wish I was there. Petites party! Now for more pics please. I was in Boston for one day on my cruise last October- I dragged DH and DBIL on the Freedom Trail and to Legal Seafood.
