It's worth a try for store credit!&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, the Lanai -- have you showed it to us? Please put it on and show how it looks. I think you must have half a dozen tops/ pants / jeans you can wear with it. It's the one like I bought (and have not decided whether to return) right? You could still return it as well, could you not?&nbsp;</p> <p>I haven't decided yet on mine. Will &nbsp;decide for sure within a few days.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, when a woman gets a winner like that lace dress of yours is a winner, she has won the entire season and possibly the entire decade. That dress is so killer on you it makes up for any multitude of sins. :-)&nbsp;</p> <p>How's that for girl math? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-fw-shopping-inventory#post-1072499 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 23:43:50 +0000 Nicole D 1072499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these analyses! &nbsp;Take the jacket back to H and M and see if they will at least give you store credit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-fw-shopping-inventory#post-1072432 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 22:31:06 +0000 Caro in Oz 1072432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are such interesting reads.&nbsp;Re orphans - would the blouse work with the jacket?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-fw-shopping-inventory#post-1072388 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 21:44:13 +0000 Gigi 1072388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Amy, good job! You have a quite long list of successes. :^) I should do the same; sometimes it's easy to get hung up on the mistakes and forget about the successes.</p> <p>I'm glad I'm not the only one who is struggling with being fashionably dressed for winter. I think there are still a lot of lightweight clothes out in the stores, and it is easy to be smitten by them and forget that they won't fit the weather.</p> <p>For the orphans, maybe you could post a pic or two of yourself wearing them and then the forum members could give you ideas on how to style them?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-fw-shopping-inventory#post-1072373 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 21:30:52 +0000 Amy 1072373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a useful exercise. I've returned the vast majority of things I've purchased, so know I'm becoming better at recognizing what will and won't work for me. Still, I've made some mistakes and haven't significantly advanced my goal of being warmly and fashionably dressed this winter. I need to stop buying lightweight blouses and focus on cozy things like sweaters and jackets.</p> <p>I'm ok with the orphans. I'd like to gradually create different color palettes in my wardrobe, specifically more earth tones and more navy-based outfits.</p> <p>Successes</p> <p>Intarsia bow sweater<br /> Green lace dress<br /> Green lace blouse<br /> Munro booties<br /> White jeans<br /> Brown oxfords (wear a lot on the weekends)<br /> Gray oxfords (wear a lot on the weekends)<br /> A.E. Jeans (ugly but comfortable)<br /> Burgundy wrap sweater</p> <p>Impractical for cold weather but still like</p> <p>Blue express portofino blouse<br /> Leopard print portofino blouse</p> <p>Orphans</p> <p>Navy lanai blazer on deep discount ( having trouble figuring out how to wear it)<br /> Earth tones chiffon floral blouse (gorgeous but matches nothing I own)</p> <p>Mistakes</p> <p>Black ankle pants (comfy but not practical for wet winter weather...don't work with my booties)<br /> Black ballet flats (too short in the toe box)<br /> Military jacket from h&amp;m (just doesn't look good on me-lost receipt so can't return) </p>
