Enjoy the tunics and your future shopping days with the DDs.<br />Lisa - thank you!</p> <p>DD stopped by my office today and she scrolled through the responses. She said, "wow, I didn't realize that I was going to see you and get all of this positive affirmation!" She also remarked on how lovely people are on this forum - so true! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motherdaughter-nas#post-1696905 Mon, 18 Jul 2016 16:25:08 +0000 Lisa 1696905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous picks and DD looks lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motherdaughter-nas#post-1696872 Mon, 18 Jul 2016 16:02:03 +0000 AviaMariah 1696872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This puts a smile on my face. &nbsp;I look forward to the day my two DD's hopefully want to shop with mom!! &nbsp;(I also ordered that tunic.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motherdaughter-nas#post-1696862 Mon, 18 Jul 2016 15:50:10 +0000 Angie 1696862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BRILLIANT.

My daughter will certainly live elsewhere at some point but I'm going to enjoy the time now! My Mom (87) LOVES the booties and wants to try them in her size now. Give them a try!</p> <p>Nadya - Yes! Thank you, that's how they feel - kind of empowering. Ooh, enjoy your camel cardi - I bet you look fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motherdaughter-nas#post-1696834 Mon, 18 Jul 2016 15:01:36 +0000 KnittingGene 1696834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Robin - Thank you!&nbsp;</p> <p>KL- Thanks. I bet your Mom loves when you come home but you also have great new experiences to share with her when you return!</p> <p>RachyLou - Try them! I sized up a half size because I think they are cut a little narrowly.</p> <p>Firecracker - thanks, I really do want to keep some cool along with the comfort!</p> <p>GoldenPig - Thank you!</p> <p>Kerry - Thank you and glad the reviews helped a bit. You have such good things to look forward to with your daughter! I love watching them develop their own style at your daughter's age.</p> <p>Collette - Thank you, I love to know I had a part in a smile. We could all use more of them! I love your Mom story and had wondered how we would feel if we showed up wearing the same shoes. Now, I'm not going to worry. You're in IL? Would the tunic not work as a transitional late summer, fall piece (add leggings and topper)? I feel like we should have an acronym for Fingers Crossed For Paul Green Loafers (FCFPGL) since there are a lot of us! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motherdaughter-nas#post-1696797 Mon, 18 Jul 2016 14:03:35 +0000 Nadya 1696797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those sneakers are awesome - you two can take on the world in them! I got that drape front cardigan in camel - I agree it's nice that it's not too heavy! Enjoy all your great finds. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motherdaughter-nas#post-1696794 Mon, 18 Jul 2016 13:57:01 +0000 RobinF 1696794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love to shop with my daughter who is about the same age as yours, and my mom also. Unfortunately we all live in different places right now so it doesn't happen too often.</p> <p>Great finds! Love the booties and cashmere sweater especially. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motherdaughter-nas#post-1696771 Mon, 18 Jul 2016 13:13:41 +0000 Colette 1696771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was smiling while reading your post because I love shopping with my Mom. Your daughter is adorable! I especially like that you both bought the same shoes, sometimes my Mom and I buy the same things too. We used to call each other to make sure we didn't wear the same thing, but I don't anymore because I actually like when that happens. One time we wore the same top to a party but no one even noticed because we styled them differently.</p> <p>I tried that tunic and loved it but couldn't figure out how to make it work in my climate. It looks great on your daughter. And I have the PG shoes on the way to me and I'm also crossing my fingers they fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motherdaughter-nas#post-1696724 Mon, 18 Jul 2016 11:28:40 +0000 kerry 1696724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your daughter is adorable. I loved reading your post. Thanks! My daughter is 6 and I hope we can shop like this together when she's older. Fun!</p> <p>Thanks for the review of the items you both tried. I think I've added a few more items to my list! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motherdaughter-nas#post-1696663 Mon, 18 Jul 2016 05:29:54 +0000 goldenpig 1696663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun! So glad you and your daughter had such a fun shopping trip together and came away with great finds. I particularly love the matchy matchy mother-daughter shoes. I love doing matchy matchy with my daughter and hopefully can shop with her in the future. Great writeup! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motherdaughter-nas#post-1696650 Mon, 18 Jul 2016 04:48:10 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1696650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun shopping trip!

I'm glad I did, it's lovely - drapes well and flows simply down the body. DL - I find that cashmere, layered with something simple like cotton or a silk tank work well for me. And cardigans are helpful, of course, because they allow air movement!</p> <p>I kind of think the girl is cute too, Peri! Thank you. She's actually 5'5" (and slim but with curves) - to give you an idea of the fit for that tunic/dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motherdaughter-nas#post-1696619 Mon, 18 Jul 2016 03:02:15 +0000 Suz 1696619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fabulous story! And go Team Mother/ Daughter!! Brilliant choices and I love that you and your daughter are shoe twins. She looks adorable in the dress. And no doubt she will find some booties with higher heels to try it with also. ;)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motherdaughter-nas#post-1696609 Mon, 18 Jul 2016 02:40:27 +0000 Peri 1696609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great picks! I have my eye on that Halogen cardigan too. Your daughter is adorable...must be tiny to turn that tunic into a dress! So cute.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motherdaughter-nas#post-1696608 Mon, 18 Jul 2016 02:38:40 +0000 Anonymous 1696608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KG - this is so fun that you and your DD got to experience this together. </p> <p>Your description of the cashmere cardi is helpful. I'm always warm too. This isn't too hot? I like the color. Hope the loafers work out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motherdaughter-nas#post-1696600 Mon, 18 Jul 2016 02:28:22 +0000 KnittingGene 1696600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My 21 yo daughter and I have shopped the NAS together the last two years. I'm now attempting my first conversation starter - I hope I can make it work correctly! We had such a fun time together last night starting with shoes where our youthful, male SA was sweet, earnest and had a good sense of style. We each wanted booties but I thought all the heels were too high and she thought they were all too low (at her modest price point). 1) I had had my eye on the Gentle Souls sneakers and she fell for them too. She tried the red and I tried the gray. As is typical for that brand, they are really comfy - they do have a wide-ish fit at the top. They worked for both my high volume problem feet and her average width, carefree feet. Then she and the SA ganged up on me and persuaded me to get the red instead of the cement. They're right, the grey would be hard to match and since most of my clothes are black and grey, the red will look great. Note: the color is called brick but it sure looks more like plum to me (a little purple and no brown in the red). My daughter was delighted that we were going to have matching shoes and suggested that we looked like we could fashionably fight crime in these shoes.</p> <p>At the next stop, I picked up 2) a long cashmere cardi - not the thickest or highest quality cashmere but a good price, lightweight which works well for this always-warm 50-something and, fabulously, available in XL petite which isn't easy to find. I decided against the camel as I thought it would look like too much fabric for short, round me and the charcoal is beautiful. Franx, who aspires to a Cozy Chic wardrobe, absolutely fell in love with 3) the black, textured sweatshirt-like dress. She thought she would like it in grey but it's really smashing in black and, in-person, you can actually see the texture (unlike in the photo) - she sized up to a medium to allow plenty of freedom around the hips. She tried it on with the GS sneakers and it was great! AND pockets! She also picked up 4) a grey and black Caslon zip-backed sweater - the cotton/rayon fabric is lovely quality and I hope won't pill too quickly - she wore her usual size small.</p> <p>We each got our favorite undies and she got replacements for her Natori feathers bra and Zella leggings and was thrilled with the cost-savings. While trying to find some black pants for work (I got some on non-anniversary sale cause my store didn't have many at all), a SA went to look at plus-sizes for me (I'm on the cusp) and I was surprised to LOVE 5) leggings by Two by Vince Camuto - super thick and a great dark black. I can wear them with lower hip-length tops and not worry about see-throughness or accentuating my lumps and bumps. I do have to roll them but I'm used to that.</p> <p>Now, I'm just waiting for my 6) PG graphite loafers and crossing my fingers that they fit and are comfy. I'm also thankful that I read YLF and could see that they were going to sell out quickly and didn't wait for in-person shopping to get them.</p> <p>I've SO appreciated the posts about the sale here on YLF - thank you to everyone!&nbsp;</p>
