You are so kind! You know I was so tiny before having my daughter ten years ago, I might have looked skinnier than this while I was three month pregnant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-purchase-today#post-6153 Fri, 09 May 2008 01:47:50 +0000 Nicole 6153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that it looks like maternity wear. You don't look pregnant in it, but it's not flattering below the bust. I do like the length though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-purchase-today#post-6151 Fri, 09 May 2008 01:45:02 +0000 Julia 6151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny I bought the jacket in petite, also in white. It fits me pretty well, I think, you know I don't trust the mirror any more. I'll wear it tomorrow and take a picture to share. Since it's Friday tomorrow, I can wear jeans. Maybe you can wear something similar and post the picture too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-purchase-today#post-6136 Fri, 09 May 2008 01:27:19 +0000 Tanya 6136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I echo the feeling that it's not bad, but you could probably find something much much nicer. The length is nice tough, and it fits you very well at the chest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-purchase-today#post-6134 Fri, 09 May 2008 01:24:40 +0000 shiny 6134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Julia, love the earrings and the suit... since I have the same jacket (except in white) - we'll have to plan to wear it on the same day. </p> <p>Did you buy the jacket in petite or regular? They didn't have it in petite (sold out) so I bought in regular. I think it fits me fine. If you got petite though, I'll be curious to see how it fits on you compared to me. </p> <p>The dress... I did not see this one when I went to ATL. I did try on some dresses while I was there. But I am always hit or miss with their dresses!! I'm hit or miss with *most* dresses, especially AT, so I don't know why ATL would be any different. </p> <p>I agree with Angie - it's not horrible but yeah you could probably do better. </p> <p>Color is very pretty though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-purchase-today#post-6125 Fri, 09 May 2008 01:11:00 +0000 Julia 6125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's funny Katieck, it does look like a maternity dress once you mentioned it. I was very disappointed too, and I even tried it on before I bought it! </p> <p>Since i started taking pictures, I can tell much better whether something works for me or not. I don't trust the mirror any more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-purchase-today#post-6118 Fri, 09 May 2008 00:56:47 +0000 katieck 6118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness, Julia. I'm so glad to hear you say this about the blue dress. I went to AT Loft last weekend, found the dress, tried it on and was completely underwhelmed. First, it was too short on me. In addition, it was just blah. Fit great at the bust, but then it just hung on me. Maybe I'm paranoid, but I always feel like that style looks like maternity on me. And since I'm SOOOOOOO done having kids, I don't ever want people to mistake my attire for maternity. ;)</p> <p>I was disappointed, b/c I really like the dress...on the hanger. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-purchase-today#post-6109 Fri, 09 May 2008 00:32:57 +0000 Julia 6109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it's worth the effort to alter it. I'll return it. Angie is there anything you know that's worth trying? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-purchase-today#post-6108 Fri, 09 May 2008 00:27:16 +0000 Angie 6108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress does NOT look bad. But I think that you can do better. There is something about the empire cut that is just not right. Would you agree? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-purchase-today#post-6107 Fri, 09 May 2008 00:24:41 +0000 Ana 6107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, Julia! I wasn't going to put it quite like that, but I'm in general agreement with your comment. It sure fits your chest area nicely, though. Is there any way you could have it taken in at the waist? Maybe if you pin it back and take a photo, we could help you decide. Or if you don't think it's worth it, I say send it back. The J. Crew dress I coveted did the same thing to me. I may try on a larger size though and see if I can have it taken in (I'm keeping my fingers crossed). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-purchase-today#post-6105 Fri, 09 May 2008 00:13:43 +0000 Julia 6105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You might very much be in the majority. I don't know what's wrong but it sure makes me look fat and short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-purchase-today#post-6096 Thu, 08 May 2008 23:44:10 +0000 Maya 6096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From a personal perspective, I tend to like things that are either very fitted or very over-the-top voluminous. Anything that falls in between looks like a mistake to me. I feel like I would rather see you in something that either has more waist definition OR a shift dress style that isn't really meant to be that close.</p> <p>I have a feeling I'll be in the minority on this, but perhaps being body type twins will give my response more weight </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-purchase-today#post-6090 Thu, 08 May 2008 23:18:47 +0000 Julia 6090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My shipment came yesterday. I'm not sure about the dress. Here's the picture:</p> <p><a href="http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk271/JuliaYLF/week%202/5-8-4.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i282.photobucket.com/al...../5-8-4.jpg</a></p> <p>Should I keep it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-purchase-today#post-5141 Fri, 02 May 2008 18:49:13 +0000 Julia 5141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Katie, check your local store. Mine had loads of them in regular size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-purchase-today#post-5130 Fri, 02 May 2008 17:53:35 +0000 katieck 5130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, shoot! That dress is a petite, and I don't see it in regular sizes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-purchase-today#post-5116 Fri, 02 May 2008 16:41:34 +0000 katieck 5116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I want that dress. I need some summer dresses and that one looks perfect. Great purchases! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-purchase-today#post-5097 Fri, 02 May 2008 13:51:07 +0000 shiny 5097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the jacket, but the pants didn't fit me right so I passed them up. (ATL pants don't usually fit me - except sometimes the Ann's fit okay). Yesterday I played around and figured out multiple uses for the jacket - over jeans, over skirts, over dresses. You'll love it!! </p> <p>Those earrings are adorable. The dress, I'm sure will provide an elongating effect. I didn't see that one at my store. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-purchase-today#post-5071 Fri, 02 May 2008 05:58:40 +0000 Angie 5071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! White pants AND jacket. Perfect. You are ready for Summer. Love this look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-purchase-today#post-5068 Fri, 02 May 2008 03:20:38 +0000 Maya 5068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea of the white work outfit. Unexpected but still professional, perfect for summer. The earrings are pretty too. You should model everything for us...or at least for me so I can see how everything would look on me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-purchase-today#post-5066 Fri, 02 May 2008 03:16:15 +0000 Ana 5066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the earrings! I may have to order a pair of those in gold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-purchase-today#post-5065 Fri, 02 May 2008 03:10:18 +0000 Julia 5065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! I sure should try to take more pictures and post them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-purchase-today#post-5063 Fri, 02 May 2008 03:07:13 +0000 Tanya 5063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Julia, those are great purchases! I especially like that dress, very pretty!<br /> Enjoy wearing them and post a few pictures for us if you don't mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-purchase-today#post-5061 Fri, 02 May 2008 02:55:02 +0000 Julia 5061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inspired by Shiny, I stopped by ATL today on my way home. I tried on many pieces and liked them a lot. Since I have a coupon at home, I came home and ordered online (free shipping above $75 and 20% off above $150.)</p> <p><a href="http://www.anntaylorloft.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=13727&#038;No=15&#038;pCategoryId=217&#038;Ns=CATEGORY_SEQ_225&#038;N=1200027&#038;Nty=1&#038;categoryId=225&#038;defaultColorNameFromCategory=Embellished%20Blue&#038;defaultSizeTypeFromCategory=Petite" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylorloft.com/c.....ory=Petite</a><br /> This dress is so comfortable and casual. I plan to wear it during my Summer trip with a white shrunken cardigan if it gets cold.</p> <p><a href="http://www.anntaylorloft.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=14185&#038;N=1200037&#038;pCategoryId=231&#038;categoryId=235&#038;Ns=CATEGORY_SEQ_235&#038;defaultColorNameFromCategory=Soft%20Silver&#038;defaultSizeTypeFromCategory=Misses" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylorloft.com/c.....ory=Misses</a><br /> I love this earrings. The picture doesn't do its justice. I've been searching for something like this for a while and glad to find them. I got it in silver.</p> <p><a href="http://www.anntaylorloft.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=12824&#038;N=1200023&#038;pCategoryId=217&#038;categoryId=221&#038;Ns=CATEGORY_SEQ_221&#038;defaultColorNameFromCategory=White&#038;defaultSizeTypeFromCategory=Petite" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylorloft.com/c.....ory=Petite</a><br /> I tried this pants one in the store and it fits like a dream. I need one for work and this is perfect. I was not sure if this link is the one I tried on because of "Sateen" in the name, I sure didn't notice any thing "sateenish" while trying it on. I hope it's the same that I saw.</p> <p><a href="http://www.anntaylorloft.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=12818&#038;defaultColorNameFromCrosell=Deep%20Blue" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylorloft.com/c.....eep%20Blue</a><br /> The matching jacket, a good piece for work too. If you buy both pieces in a set you get additional 30% off.</p> <p>I'm surprised that I bought so much in such a short period. </p>
