Perfect for you! And yes, Gabor tends to be very comfortable.<br />Chris - Fab that you’ve also discovered Gabor! Your sandals are wonderful!<br />Style Fan - Thank you! Shopping with Angie is such a treat!!<br />Joy - High five!<br />Jenni - I hear you about the psychological aspect. Yes, I do set a budget beforehand and really try to stick with that. (and for me it does amount to approximately the same number as when I was shopping in “dribs and drabs”;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-latest-arnhem-loot#post-1981841 Wed, 12 Dec 2018 09:15:00 +0000 Jenni NZ 1981841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks a wonderful haul Inge! I'm extra attracted to the green sweater dress and the metallic booties.<br /> It does sound a good way to shop. Do you set a budget for shopping in a big hit like that? I don't have a budget as such but maybe feel better when the money goes out in dribs and drabs... probably just psychological though, it may add up the same. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-latest-arnhem-loot#post-1981810 Wed, 12 Dec 2018 05:06:57 +0000 Anonymous 1981810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your loot!

Very smart way of shopping, everything looks very cohesive. I always had the better success when shopping in similar way, but I rarely do so. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-latest-arnhem-loot#post-1981619 Tue, 11 Dec 2018 18:40:55 +0000 karen13 1981619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooooh aaahhh. Such a great haul. Now we need the WIWs.

I feel more organized this way: I review what I have 3 or 4 times a year now, right before our next shopping outing, which gives me a better understanding of what's been working for me, if there are any wardrobe holes, what I would like to refresh my wardrobe, which trends I'd like to incorporate, etc.</div><div><br /></div><div> Also, while in the stores being able to shop from the same collection is an easy way to create mini wardrobe capsules (and the new items usually work great with what I already have and are a fun way to create new outfits). <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I definitely want to continue doing this. <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-latest-arnhem-loot#post-1981600 Tue, 11 Dec 2018 18:17:27 +0000 Laura 1981600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hurray for another successful outing and what wonderful finds! You two certainly are the dynamic duo together. And I like the idea of shopping a few times a year. Do you like this way of shopping now, Inge? Will you continue it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-latest-arnhem-loot#post-1981591 Tue, 11 Dec 2018 18:08:32 +0000 Inge 1981591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kyle - Thanks. My wardrobe definitely feels “refreshed”, just what I needed.<br />La Pedestrienne - I’m all for a good capsule!-)<br />Lisa - *chuckle*, this way of shopping really works for me.<br />Angie - You are making me blush!! And smile!!-) I’m thrilled with my new loot!!!<br />Christina - Thank you:-))<br />Elizabeth - It’s just so incredibly fun indeed!! Will model asap!<br />Bj - Ooooh, now I feel quite badass!-)<br />Suz - Yezzz!!! I’ll definitely try other laces too. And you are right, I knew the pewter boots reminded me of something. I still love your Elodies!! And I know, I got so lucky!!<br />Barbara Diane - Don’t give up on white boots just yet, I think a lot depends on the style of the boot.<br />Taylor - I couldn’t agree more!-))<br />Sterling - Thank you! It usually happens pretty automatically because I tend to be drawn to certain colour palettes, and lucky for me, they tend to work really well together. <br />Rachy - Thanks:-)<br />kkards - Thank you. I’m just so thrilled I found those booties!!<br />Cardiff girl - Thank you. The day was a big “success” all round! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-latest-arnhem-loot#post-1981587 Tue, 11 Dec 2018 18:03:46 +0000 Cardiff girl 1981587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you had a fun and productive day.All your new stuff looks great,l look forward to seeing the outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-latest-arnhem-loot#post-1981580 Tue, 11 Dec 2018 17:53:25 +0000 kkards 1981580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>those white booties.....TDF.<br />and the rest of the stuff is pretty good as well... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-latest-arnhem-loot#post-1981577 Tue, 11 Dec 2018 17:51:15 +0000 rachylou 1981577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow!

The white boots-I’ve avoided white boots because my feet are large but I like how the black laces both break up the white and can tie it in to other parts of your outfit or bookend hair. Big fan of pewter boots also.<br /> Looking forward to seeing you in all your fab finds. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-latest-arnhem-loot#post-1981551 Tue, 11 Dec 2018 17:03:28 +0000 Suz 1981551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what a fantastic haul and how well these items will work into your wardrobe! Love the white boots -- those are super fun. You could change out the laces for any number of options, too -- statement laces to go with your statement socks! The pewter booties remind me a bit of my Summit Elodies from last year (still going strong). I find the lift of the flatform really forgiving on on hard pavement.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the herringbone pattern in the new hat and the beautiful textures in the scarf. To have found 2 pair of jeans and a dress in addition is really spectacular!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-latest-arnhem-loot#post-1981532 Tue, 11 Dec 2018 15:48:26 +0000 bj1111 1981532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you guys are the KHALEESI of shopping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-latest-arnhem-loot#post-1981529 Tue, 11 Dec 2018 15:45:59 +0000 Elizabeth P 1981529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>OMG, what an amazing haul!&nbsp; And it sounds like such a wonderful way to shop :)</div><div>Please model for us!<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-latest-arnhem-loot#post-1981524 Tue, 11 Dec 2018 15:35:01 +0000 Christina F. 1981524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous loot!

These all look like wonderful finds and great new additions to your wardrobe. Can’t wait to see you model them. Hard to pick a favorite...they are all special! Glad you had a fun and productive day together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-latest-arnhem-loot#post-1981502 Tue, 11 Dec 2018 14:54:33 +0000 Inge 1981502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was lucky enough to <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-inge-wore">spend an entire day with Angie in Arnhem</a> (the Netherlands) last Friday. We had an absolutely brilliant time catching up and shopping despite the dreadful weather.</p> <p>I had a long shopping list, and certainly didn’t expect to find everything I was looking for, but with Angie’s expert help, I managed to find most of it!!! Including the most important items, which are also the hardest to shop for: jeans and footwear. Woohoo!!-))</p> <p>I desperately needed a denim update, and found not one but two pairs of on-trend jeans:<br />- a pair of dark-wash high-waisted straight leg jeans at Levi’s<br />- a pair of dark-wash cuffed full-length baby bootcut jeans at Expresso</p> <p>At Expresso we also saw a beautiful scarf in pink and grey tones (the colours are a bit lighter irl) that worked perfectly with the berry-coloured puffer I was wearing (which I bought at that very same store last time I was in Arnhem with Angie;-)</p> <p>I was also hoping to find an extra pair of booties that weren’t suede (because we have very rainy Winters in Belgium). I really wanted white booties because I wore my white Zara pointy-toe booties into the ground and had been looking for a replacement ever since. They were incredibly versatile and dressed up everything I paired them with, while making all outfits look extra fresh and modern. I didn’t have high hopes though because the stores here hardly had any white booties available.</p> <p>But, dear Fabbers, I found a new pair at Gabor!!-)) Hurrah!! They are sporty yet dressy at the same time. And they look amazing with everything I’ve paired them with so far. I am beyond thrilled with them!!</p> <p>Then at Mephisto, I snapped up a pair of pewter booties in a leather-suede mix. The pewter is a bit shimmery which makes them extra fun, and the cool-toned metallic works great with my wardrobe. </p> <p>Both pairs are super comfortable and fit my orthotics. I really scored there!</p> <p><div>I would have been more than happy to go home with “just” these purchases, but then we stopped by Claudia Sträter and they had so much good stuff!!</div><div><br /></div>I walked out with these gorgeous dressy trousers in a black and ink floral pattern. The fit is fab, and I love that I can wear them for dressy occasions (will be wearing them for at least one holiday party) and dress them down for more casual days. If the matching blazer had been longer, I would have bought that too, it would have made a marvelous suit.</p> <p>Earlier in the day, I had tried on 2 fantastic green midi sweater dresses at COS. They looked amazing on but were sooooo itchy (lambswool), so I had to leave them at the store. Luck would have it that Claudia Sträter also had a green sweater dress, this one with a beautiful diagonal collar. I had to try it on of course, and I was sold:-))</p> <p>While Angie was trying on stuff at Scotch &amp; Soda (I’m sure she’ll report on that soon;-), she found me the cutest tweed hat in shades of burgundy that also works perfectly with my puffer. I wore it straight out of the store, added the new Expresso scarf and felt very stylish and warm:-)</p> <p>Last purchase of the day was a green leopard print scarf that looks great with the new green sweater dress. I can’t find a product photo online, so will take a picture asap.</p> <p><div>I came home with quite the haul and am beyond thrilled with everything I found!!!! Angie remarked that I do all of my shopping in Arnhem these days, and she’s right. It appears I'm a seasonal shopper now, and I just save my pennies for our shopping outings;-) In addition to the well-known high-street chains, Arnhem has amazing smaller boutiques, and having Angie help me find things that work for me makes the shopping so much easier, faster and extra fun!!!</div><div><br /></div><div>Apologies for writing a book:-)<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div> </p>
