Great haul. I especially love the 2 tops - they are flattering on you. I am not as big a fan of the boyfriend cardi. Have fun with your new stuff and your projects! Creme brulee - yumm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-birthday-spree-haul#post-41861 Mon, 05 Jan 2009 18:57:11 +0000 Angie 41861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Susan. Please comment on today’s blog post and I’ll hook you up with Alecia. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-birthday-spree-haul#post-41837 Mon, 05 Jan 2009 12:54:46 +0000 susan 41837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alecia-You did very well! I really like everything you got and am amazed how something as simple as adding a belt really "ups" the look. The top really looks good under your suit.</p> <p>Angie-I am the Susan who would like Alecia's pattern. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-birthday-spree-haul#post-41833 Mon, 05 Jan 2009 09:01:17 +0000 stacychen 41833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>happy new year !

I'm so glad things passed muster. It took all my will power not to wear any of them until getting feedback. I am excited to get them into the rotation. I'm so happy to be getting clothes that are cute and work for me as opposed to being cute but working against me. Thank you so much, Angie and the ylf ladies!</p> <p>In non-fashion related things, I got a creme brulee torch that I can't wait to take for a test run and a staple gun so I can work on home projects. Yes! Can't wait. I've got a fashion-related project in the wings that I'll post when I get it done. I think you'll like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-birthday-spree-haul#post-41715 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 13:59:41 +0000 Inge 41715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Belated happy birthday from me as well Alecia, it looks like you had a fun (shopping) day.<br /> Great buys, I love the colour of the booties and I think you will get lots of use out of them.</p> <p>Everything looks wonderful, my favourite is the BR dress (I don't see a problem with the sleeves), it fits you so well and you look amazing in red! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-birthday-spree-haul#post-41688 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 04:01:29 +0000 Angie 41688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>woopsie, double post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-birthday-spree-haul#post-41687 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 04:00:57 +0000 Angie 41687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also, if you start a separate thread "for Susan", I can hook you up. There are a few Susans on this site and I need to clarify who your Susan is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-birthday-spree-haul#post-41685 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 03:58:18 +0000 Angie 41685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy belated birthday, Alecia! If I’d known I’d have started a separate birthday thread. I hope you felt celebrated and I apologize for not wishing you ON the day. </p> <p>The booties are fabulous! I have a friend who wears those day-in-day-out and adores them. I also love the top, dress and boyfriend cardi belted. You did really well! It’s nice to have lucked out with a superb birthday stash. Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-birthday-spree-haul#post-41678 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 03:38:56 +0000 Eva 41678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shopping, what a fun way to spend your birthday! I love the tops (ATL belted) and the Style and Co. with and without the jacket. The BP dress is beautiful, too. The booties are great. It is so hard to find nice flat heeled booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-birthday-spree-haul#post-41671 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 02:09:53 +0000 Dani 41671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy birthday (late)! Hope you had a great day! I love all your purchases. I especially like the red patterned shirt under your suit! LOVE the BF cardi belted and the ATL top belted as well. The BR dress is a great color on you and the sleeves seemed fine to me. Can't wait to see pictures of your booties on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-birthday-spree-haul#post-41663 Sat, 03 Jan 2009 23:38:13 +0000 bella 41663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy belated birthday and what a great haul. Booties and BR dress absolutely killer. The boyfriend cardi looks a bit too big to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-birthday-spree-haul#post-41651 Sat, 03 Jan 2009 21:50:55 +0000 Nicole 41651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice job Alecia--and Happy Belated Birthday!</p> <p>I love the BR dress, sleeve length looked good to me. The booties are adorable and I love the printed tops and the BF cardigan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-birthday-spree-haul#post-41650 Sat, 03 Jan 2009 21:48:25 +0000 Anonymous 41650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Birthday, Alecia! I love all your new things except the boyfriend sweater. Belting it helps, but it still seems a bit big through the shoulders.<br /> The red dress and red and black ruffled blouse are my favorites. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-birthday-spree-haul#post-41649 Sat, 03 Jan 2009 21:42:11 +0000 Tanya 41649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Alecia, what a great haul! I love everything you got, and it all fits you very well.<br /> I especially like the BR dress, and they think that sleeves work fine. The BF cardi works well too. I like those booties, and I think that the color can be worn with anything, including brown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-birthday-spree-haul#post-41643 Sat, 03 Jan 2009 21:35:18 +0000 Alecia 41643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all -</p> <p>I waited until my birthday yesterday to hit the stores. I was armed with my list of things and found quite a few. There are still things to get but ran up against my budget. I'm sure I'll be able to make due. :-)</p> <p>First, I order a pair of booties to wear with pants that I wear with flats. They haven't arrived yet, but here is the link: <a href="http://www.overstock.com/Clothing-Shoes/Report-Womens-Brooklyn-Booties/3519010/product.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.overstock.com/Cloth.....oduct.html</a> I hope they work out. The link says they're grey, can I wear them with brown?</p> <p>Here's a link to the stuff I got on my birthday trip:<br /> <a href="http://s508.photobucket.com/albums/s330/sasisierra7/birthdayshop/" rel="nofollow">http://s508.photobucket.com/al.....thdayshop/</a><br /> password - ylf2009</p> <p>A couple things were final sale, so I hope they're ok. They were the jcrew skirt and the ATL top. I need to get the jcrew skirt altered a little in the waist, which I think will also bring up the length. I also tried on some other suiting there. I have picked out which one I want to get and can start saving.</p> <p>One of the things on my lshopping ist was pant length tops. So many of my tops are too short for pants. It's really been frustrating me. So the ATL top and the Style &#38; Co top are attempts to remedy that a little. I figure the ATL will work for weekends and Style &#38; Co for work.</p> <p>Regarding the BR dress, how do you think the sleeves work for me? They seem a little long to me. Should I see about getting them shortened? </p> <p>I had wanted the boyfriend cardi from BR. I think it's better quality, but I waited too long so they were out. But I think this one works. Do you think so?</p> <p>Thanks everyone.</p> <p>P.S. - Angie, can you send me Susan's e-mail off line so I can get her the pattern to the earwarmer? Thanks! </p>
