Your only problem now is what to bring to Paris!! These are fabulous. The tencel denim shirt is great. I had a tencel denim riding skirt (long gored skirt) from LL Bean,believe it or not, years ago, and I almost cried when I had to give it up. I LOVED the drape that much. This shirt may be similar for you. It plays so well with the darker denim and will also look fab with whites for spring/summer. </p> <p>Your booties are Ah-mazing and I like them laced both ways; do as you wish! Love the shirt, as well - so fun yet sophisticated. As for the tunic, I can't say enough how wonderful that is on you. GORGEOUS. Just fantastic. </p> <p>Good luck with all your trip preparations and do keep us posted! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-loot-from-chicago#post-575192 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 00:49:32 +0000 Anonymous 575192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your new pieces are all winners and I can't wait to see how you remix them in different outfits.. I want to steal the animal print blouse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-loot-from-chicago#post-575176 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 00:37:50 +0000 Debora 575176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great daughter you are to give one of the tops to your mom - a great way to thank her for all her expert alterations! I saw the denim top in Anthro and love how soft the material is. It's a great top. Love the animal print top and booties, too! The fit of the pants is divine and the color block dress looks fantastic on you! I love the cobalt with your dark hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-loot-from-chicago#post-575169 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 00:34:57 +0000 Sarah A 575169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Living vicariously through all of your awesome finds! The leopard blouse and colorblocked tunic would be my faves but really the whole lot is incredible...I also hope these great new options have reduced the stress of packing for your trip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-loot-from-chicago#post-575156 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 00:27:51 +0000 Jonesy 575156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know how I feel about everything :)! Love the Express trousers--congrats on finding a perfect pair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-loot-from-chicago#post-575113 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 23:50:09 +0000 Aida 575113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab haul Sveta! I love everything about #1, heck add some jewelry and wear that one out and about! Great flares, I'm sure you'll have lots of fun with those. Very pretty blouse! I'm on the hunt for a non-sheer gray leo blouse myself, you've reignited my desire to find it! The booties are SUPER FABULOUS, I like the laces both ways. I rather like them left out for a more casual look, and tucked away for a cleaner, dressier look. Nice trousers, I'm pretty sure I'm wearing almost those same ones right now actually (mine are a light gray almost-plaid) ^^ And you know I love that tunic, WOW it's bold and graphic! Love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-loot-from-chicago#post-574815 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 19:05:01 +0000 celia 574815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, when you shop you shop to perfection.I know that this time you also had expert help.Still, these are all 20's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-loot-from-chicago#post-574737 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 17:20:33 +0000 morethanbeige 574737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great haul, Sveta!

Some of my favourite wardrobe items are basics - and ALL my best wardrobe stuff is simple. Simple and basic can be exciting too. Well, it can be to me </p> <p>Thanks for clarifying why you rolled!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-loot-from-chicago#post-574711 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 16:47:07 +0000 Sveta 574711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, you are right: i really like how this lighter denim plays with darker denim colors. I know it is not a column of color but I like it this way.<br /> Sara, I am DESPERATELY trying to get ready for my big trip - I think I have sorted out what to pack for clothing (yes, at least 3 new things from Chicago are gong with me :-)<br /> Angie, I felt that they are not as exciting compared to things other got (like Jonesy's coat and dress or bj1111 cape) but I LOVE them anyway :-). Thank you for helping me with the Editors: without you I would go with the bigger size for sure...<br /> As for the black trousers: I rolled them up so you all can see the booties - I would never wear them like this, don't worry!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-loot-from-chicago#post-574587 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 14:28:04 +0000 Angie 574587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I have to defend the so called "boring basics" that you bought in Chicago - as you referred to them in an earlier thread. They are ALL 10's and that's brilliant! You can't do better than that :)</p> <p>LOVE #1. That's strong and simple at it's best.</p> <p>The Editors are perfect! </p> <p>(You'll wear a cami under your blouses I think :))</p> <p>I vote roll down the black trousers - but then you probably could have bet on that. Also like the laces tucked away as you did on one of the booties. Superb! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-loot-from-chicago#post-574585 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 14:27:40 +0000 MNsara 574585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for Chicago shopping! See how much that trip helped you get things you need for your next trip? :-)</p> <p>I'm go glad you like the Tencel shirt! Altering the cuffs is a great idea. Also happy you got the official Angie pick on the Express trousers. Plus, those are wonderful booties! I'd definitely tuck in the laces to keep the print in its starring role ;-)</p> <p>I missed the jeans, but I'm celebrating with you -- my sister-in-law struggles wtih inseams and she doesn't even worry about PPL, so I know this is an exciting find!</p> <p>Such a nice thing to do with the second animal print blouse! Plus, you can probably borrow it, or swap with your mom, if needed. </p> <p>Good luck getting ready for the BIG one now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-loot-from-chicago#post-574530 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 13:16:15 +0000 Lisa 574530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great haul you have here Sveta!<br /> #1-That denim shirt and the jeans both fit you very well. And they play well together too. It is rare but don't you jus love when jeans are already the length you need instead of having to shorten or take out hems on them?<br /> #4-The animal print top is a fun piece and a great replacement top for your tiger one. How sweet of you to give your duplicate to mom.<br /> #6-The animal booties, I don't mind the laces in or out. Out has a slightly funky vibe that can be fun with the right outfit. In is a tad more classic. These are a great find, I really like the soft print and the color will mix really, really well with your wardrobe.<br /> #7-The light colored trousers are a perfect pair to the new booties!<br /> #8-A fun color blocked tunic. I think this is a great piece to have fun layering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-loot-from-chicago#post-574523 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 13:09:36 +0000 Sveta 574523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the comments and for sharing my joy wth me!<br /> Shevia, christieanne, Shannon, Amy, Kirti, Manidipa, Meredith, Rita - thanks!<br /> Anna, this means a lot coming from our Queen the Coolest Shoes!<br /> Kelly, these flares are long - at least 1.5" longer than my Hidden Hills. Too bad they did not work for you but it is such a rare find for me to have hems long enough for my highest heels that I am very happy. I even hemmed my Hidden Hills a bit so i can wear them with flats and heels under 1.5" becasue have those flares for higher heels.<br /> Zap, I wil see about the laces: I guess for now I can hide them and see how I feel about it.<br /> Claire, I got a haircut just a night before going to Chicago so I did not post any pictures for it. I was trying to grow it a bit for that front longer sweep through 3 cuts now and it is almost there!<br /> AJ, I was and actually my 3h drive was very fast because of this :-)<br /> MaryK, I decided to keep the darker color. My biggest concern (after I got over the initial shock) was to get a visible roots growth but ithas been 5 weeks and no roots at all - hey for henna! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-loot-from-chicago#post-574503 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 12:04:38 +0000 Meredith1953 574503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta,<br /> I just swooned over pic #4 (that blouse with those booties + the trousers=divine!) I then drooled all over pic #8. That color block tunic is so gorgeous on you! All the other things were lovely as well, but those two just bowled me over completely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-loot-from-chicago#post-574475 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 11:04:15 +0000 modgrl 574475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything is great but I am dying over the jeans!! They look amazing on you!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-loot-from-chicago#post-574451 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 09:43:23 +0000 Kirti 574451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're ALL 10s Sveta! You have a great eye </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-loot-from-chicago#post-574363 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 04:27:12 +0000 ManidipaM 574363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for you in those perfect, perfect pants, Sveta! Congratulations on the end of frustration there!</p> <p>LOVE the colour-blocked tunic on you, with the skinnies you have on there.</p> <p>I actually like the booties both ways --- and they're stupendous shoes either way to me! --- but do you prefer sleeker always, for sure? If yes, go ahead and cut. The bow gives me a more playful, girly vibe --- so if you ever want to play that way, maybe just keep them tucked otherwise?</p> <p>That shirt too is lovely on you. Versatile, nice sheen, lovely shape. And I like your mum's idea of adding zips to the cuffs --- so cool of her to come up with that!</p> <p>Loved the story of your two shirts. So touching. You just put an all-morning-long smile on my face with that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-loot-from-chicago#post-574345 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 04:10:25 +0000 MsMary 574345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SO FAB! It's all just amazing, and the most fab thing of all is your HAIR! What a happy accident that turned out to be!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-loot-from-chicago#post-574334 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 03:59:43 +0000 AJ 574334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh fabulous loot! You must have been beaming all the way home from Chicago! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-loot-from-chicago#post-574299 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 03:04:27 +0000 Amy 574299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice haul! I like the asymmetric hem on the tencel shirt too. The trousers in #7 look really, really nice! That tunic is super cute too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-loot-from-chicago#post-574294 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 03:01:35 +0000 Transcona Shannon 574294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG!!! All fantastic Sveta - and I need those booties! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-loot-from-chicago#post-574292 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 02:58:54 +0000 Anonymous 574292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those long flared jeans are amazing on you Sveta! I think you'll get a lot of use from the tencel shirt, too. So many shirts I've picked up lately don't have cuffs and don't button to the top, grrrr! Lucky your Mom can alter for you if you want! Everything you got looks so good and fits you so well, but I can't take my eyes off your haircut. I must have missed the post on that but I love it! Have a great time on your trip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-loot-from-chicago#post-574290 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 02:55:50 +0000 christieanne 574290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking amazing in everything! The tunic is so mod and super cool on you. </p> <p>On the boot laces - I think I liked the tucked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-loot-from-chicago#post-574284 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 02:41:47 +0000 Anonymous 574284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great loot, trouser twin!<br /> Don't cut off the laces on the leopard booties, they look so cool with the long laces:) I would leave them out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-loot-from-chicago#post-574282 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 02:41:20 +0000 kellygirl 574282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blue button down is just fantastic on you. I love the hemlines. Super duper. The new booties are delish and I prefer them with the laces hidden. It looks sleeker to me and more like you. Gorgeous animal print blouse and colorblock tunic. They are both fab pieces on you. Nice trousers too! What an awesome haul, Sveta!</p> <p>ETA: LOL! I tried those Canyons at the Rack and could not believe how long they were--I was standing in a pool of denim. If I were to hem them almost the entire flare would be gone. Glad they worked out for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-loot-from-chicago#post-574278 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 02:37:31 +0000 annagybe 574278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Booties are amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-loot-from-chicago#post-574275 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 02:35:10 +0000 Jaime 574275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow times 8. I love the tencel shirt on you. Love the animal prints. Love the trousers. Love the tunic. Does that cover it? I prefer the bow hidden on first glance, but would have never thought of this option myself, so am not the best person to ask. Now I will look again. Great buys! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-loot-from-chicago#post-574273 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 02:31:38 +0000 Sveta 574273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, I don't have much time to be on the forum this week - as I spent last weekend in Chicago I am on the "critical path" to get ready for my trip next week.<br /> Anyway I wanted to post my other purchases from Chicago - not as K-R but just to share the joy!:-)<br /> 1-3: Anthro "denim" tencel shirt Sara and Jonesy convinced me to get and I love it. I love the drape, the swing, the asymmetric hem, the color... The only complains I have about it that the buttons don't go all way to the collar and that the cuffs do not have buttons and therefore cannot be cuffed. However I think I will ask my mom to fix this: add 2 buttonholes and split the cuffs apart so I can cuff them She even had an idea to add zippers to the cuffs which I am mulling over: we will see!<br /> Also these pictures feature another steal from Chicago: Paige Canyon Flares which are long enough for my heels and which cost me $50 at the Rack! I LOVE them too!</p> <p>pic 4-6 I got 2 animal print shirts in Chicago: this Bellatrix polyester one and Esprit silk one in black and grey animal print. While driving home I was chiding myself for buying both: they are different in color but close enough in style and print - why did I think I needed two? And then I had that light bulb moment: so I can give one to my mom! So the silk Esprit one is living now in her closet and makes her happy and I am happy with my Bellatrix! Now my 15-year old tiger print shirt can rest in peace...<br /> These David Tate animal print booties are another purchase from this trip even though not from the meet up. I was looking for this kind of booties since Angie showcased her fab Matisse booties last fall. I hope these babies will hold through the walking test because they will be a very useful addition to my booties regimen (so far containing my only one pair - black Clarks booties).<br /> I have a question about them though: in pic 6 I have one boot with lace bow exposed and another where it is hidden. I feel that those exposed lace bows look too clunky - should I cut the ends of so they look sleeker? There is a zipper on the side so I will never tie or untie them.<br /> pic 6 - Express trousers. They were approved by Angie - Zap, where are you, my trousers twin?<br /> pic 7-8 Michael Kors coloblocked tunic I found on a sale rack in Macy's. I wish it was 4" longer so I could wear it as a dress but I think it will work well with leggings and skinnies for me. I guess I was just smitten with this color combo of cobalt and black!<br /> Need to run now - talk to you later! </p>
