Jeans last year's CoH Agnes crops. Shoes, last year's Franco Sartos. Top, part of the Land's End twinset I bought my mother about 5 years ago and kept after she died. Earrings last year's Nickel and Suede.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm still going to check on the tee -- no harm in ordering another size for comparison. It might shrink, too, so could be worth doing anyway. I do adore it. The silvery crush is so fun.&nbsp;</p> <p>The red sweater has come with me on my trip -- I am writing from Quebec City where I'll wear it tonight! :)&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-reviews-and-report/page/2#post-1830257 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 16:12:49 +0000 Anonymous 1830257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My goodness, your decision to add some red to your wardrobe was BRILLIANT! I love that you had the opportunity to wear the sweater immediately!<br /> Everything you are keeping is fab, but I do particularly like that velour tee on you - it is so Suz! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-reviews-and-report/page/2#post-1830242 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 15:55:49 +0000 Susie 1830242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, you did great....you chose some really nice things and they look great on you! LOVE that last picture; the floral top with the red cardigan is lovely and the whole outfit is smashing on you. Who knew red pants could look so good?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-reviews-and-report/page/2#post-1830214 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 15:03:11 +0000 Jaime 1830214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow what a great bunch of new favorites - I love the red flares, the bell sleeve sweater, the new jeans, the silver velvet top and probably everything else shown too!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-reviews-and-report/page/2#post-1830203 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 14:50:55 +0000 LaPed 1830203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you make those red kick flares look like a million bucks! From the stock photo, I never would have expected them to look so amazing!&nbsp;</p> <p>Those CoH jeans look great, too. I mean, it all looks great, but seeing those jeans on you makes me tempted to splurge. ;)</p> <p>And I think the grey scarf is the right choice -- perfect support act for your bold colours.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-reviews-and-report/page/2#post-1830202 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 14:50:38 +0000 Angie 1830202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I missed the last outfit too.

Which I assume is your out-to-dinner outfit? &nbsp;And what are the booties? &nbsp;I'm feeling quite over my summer clothes - already - and am in the mood for some kind of change. Can I have this whole outfit? &nbsp;lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-reviews-and-report/page/2#post-1830145 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 13:29:24 +0000 Angie 1830145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FAB that you are reunited with Fire Engine Red. And I believe you when you say the size of the velour tee feels right. Photos can play tricks with your eyes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-reviews-and-report/page/2#post-1830139 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 13:22:57 +0000 Laurie 1830139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So much to love here. &nbsp;Just want to say that your outfit in the last shot is real perfection. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>The cardi is tempting - thank you for styling it with a skirt and with jeans. I think it would be versatile. &nbsp;</p> <p>The velour tee is fabulous tucked in and under the jacket. I would not have looked at that item in a million years if you hadn't styled it for us. &nbsp; It IS just great with your hair.</p> <p>Very well done!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-reviews-and-report/page/2#post-1830109 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 11:20:28 +0000 skylurker 1830109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your outfit, so stylish, the cardi is fabulous with the florals and dark denim and your hair looks fantastic. Also love the earrings with the red cardi.<br /> (I don't find the velvet tee clingy, it's the fit of neckline and shoulders-armholes that look off to me) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-reviews-and-report/page/2#post-1830102 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 10:53:57 +0000 kkards 1830102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz....once again i bow to a master...you knew what you wanted and picked the perfect pieces to achieve your goals! love the red on you! beyond fab with your hair</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-reviews-and-report/page/2#post-1830097 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 10:43:36 +0000 Scarlet 1830097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to hear you found some great pieces to work for you and that you have accomplished your goal of reintroducing red into your life. It's interesting to see how the cardigan hangs on you (fantastically) because I was put off by how the pockets seemed really floppy and open on the model. So weird about the inconsistency with the sale pricing. That would drive me batty. Your going out to dinner outfit is beautiful! Love the red with the floral on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-reviews-and-report/page/2#post-1830092 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 10:09:33 +0000 Style Fan 1830092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic items Suz.&nbsp; I love the C of H jeans.&nbsp; I have always loved their jeans.&nbsp; I also love denim rich jeans.&nbsp; I might give them a try.&nbsp; They would be very cropped on me.<br />I love the all red outfit.&nbsp; Looks so good on you.&nbsp; The velvet tee is a great piece.&nbsp; Navy would be a good addition too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-reviews-and-report/page/2#post-1830088 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 09:11:46 +0000 Staysfit 1830088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mission accomplished Suz! You have some great red for your wardrobe. I really love the velvet top and the red Cardigan. I think those are my two favorite pieces from your NAS purchases. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-reviews-and-report/page/2#post-1830084 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 06:48:00 +0000 Eliza 1830084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a wonderful and productive NAS for you. Great to have the tall boot box ticked; those can be challenging. I love Aquatalia's quality and how they do their waterproofing is amazing. </p> <p>I am tickled to see you in red from head to toe- so good with your hair and love the column of color. The proportions of the bell sleeved top are lovely on you and probably will provide a fun update to many outfits. Glad Angie drew attention to that crushed velvet top- it was a "sleeper" as an online item, yet amazing on you. </p> <p>Smooth travels and enjoy your new pieces! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-reviews-and-report/page/2#post-1830046 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 03:17:00 +0000 Suz 1830046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>KL,</b> that's fantastic about your boots. Pull them out! :)&nbsp;</p> <p>I will check the top. It's a sort of knit fabric that feels a bit like a woven, if that makes sense. A knit crepe? Sounds like a contradiction in terms. but that is how it feels. Not the nicest fabric in the world, but hugely practical, I think. One thing I will say -- I was wearing my Natori feathers bra and it showed the outline of the lace. I'd probably wear a cami or a different bra under it IRL.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'll definitely wash in the machine on the delicate cycle, hang dry.</p> <p><b>Sharan</b>, thank you for the nice words, and I think you'd like the CoH the next time you need a pair of jeans. ;)&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-reviews-and-report/page/2#post-1830044 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 03:11:02 +0000 Keix 1830044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great NAS haul, Suz. You're seriously tempting me on that bell sleeve top -- fuchsia is also a good color for me, although my coloring is totally different from yours. What kind of a polyester is the fabric, and is it really machine-dryable as claimed?</p> <p>In less expensive temptation I have a pair of very comfy black tall boots in good shape that I brought with me to CA 3 years ago and proceeded to rarely wear, due to the mild weather and being "off" tall boots. So I can shop my closet to try out tall boots again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-reviews-and-report/page/2#post-1830010 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 02:17:39 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1830010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, you scored, big time! How you came away with so many winners is truly impressive. I am wowed by how great you look in red--love the whole column of red with the cardigan and pants together, too. (And your going out to dinner outfit with the new cardi is super fantastic--the print tee, the booties--all of it!) <br />I love the new bell-sleeve pullover on you, and I can tell it's a really gorgeous color for you. I'm sorry to see you're passing up the blooms scarf--I think it's so pretty on you in the closeup, but you know what your comfort is with prints. So I'll give you a break here. <br />So frustrating about the Paige Hoxtons, but man, those CoH look and sound just perfect. (Now I want to try them. But I hardly need another pair of jeans at this point, so I'll refrain.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-reviews-and-report/page/2#post-1829997 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 01:54:04 +0000 Suz 1829997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny -- the velour top would probably fit but it might be longer on you. Then again, it might not. You're an IT and have more of a bust I do and that might take up some of the extra. I would say order up in size, though. I'm going to order up to compare -- this is an XS. And while it is in no way as snug on my arms/ torso as it may appear in the photos, you can see that it tends that way.&nbsp;</p> <p>The Cece top might fit if you can take it in a small size. This is XS. It fits me perfectly in the shoulders. If my bust were bigger it might be a problem. The sleeves are perfect for me and I do have short arms so it's worth a shot.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-reviews-and-report/page/2#post-1829989 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 01:48:00 +0000 shiny 1829989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adding the CeCe and velour top to my wishlist... how would they fit on 5'0 me? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-reviews-and-report/page/2#post-1829960 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 00:31:56 +0000 fathenry 1829960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Suz, The gray velvet tee shirt is so much fun! I think it looks good in the size you have it. The red kick flare pants are fun too. Everything looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-reviews-and-report/page/2#post-1829959 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 00:27:55 +0000 Suz 1829959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Column, Windchime</b> -- I was writing while you wrote -- thank you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-reviews-and-report/page/2#post-1829958 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 00:25:22 +0000 Suz 1829958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your enthusiasm and advice! Super helpful. </p> <p><b>Lisa, Sara&nbsp;</b>I thought these earrings would be larger, also, but I like them this size for everyday wear. I wear silver earrings daily and these will be a nice alternative to my "quotation mark/ comma" earrings.&nbsp;</p> <p>Re the velour tee -- <b>Isabel, Angie</b>, others -- I will check on the size. Honestly -- I see in the photos why you might say this, but I think IRL it's probably the right size. It's perfect on the shoulders and quite loose and boxy/ baggy overall. It <b>looks</b> much snugger in the pics than it is, in fact, due to the reflective qualities of the velour and the way I was twisting to get a side view. Plus the fact that it was a bit muggy/ sticky today so the fabric wanted to cling.&nbsp;</p> <p>However, &nbsp;I got it in Canada and could order a size up for comparison without incurring costs, and then do an exchange if the size up is better, so I will attempt that.&nbsp;</p> <p>Either way, I know I will adore it. It's perfect with my hair and so easy to dress up or down -- a super item for my climate and lifestyle. I am actually tempted to order the navy also.&nbsp;</p> <p>Re the Aquatalias -- yes, to <b>Sal</b> -- they will get worn here! They are waterproof!!!! That is key. My booties that went unworn are suede and delicate silver toned leather with thin soles. These have a thicker weatherproof sole and waterproof leather -- I will wear them to death, just as I wore my Aquatalia weatherproof booties! I do still need a more rugged lug soled super casual boot for non-gear walking in bad weather. But that will be a second shop.&nbsp;</p> <p>Re<b> the red flares</b> -- <b>Isabel, Lisa, Aquamarine </b>-- yes, they do intimidate me, too...but I know from experience that this style loosens up a bit with wear and feel quite streamlined and okay. Plus, I will often be wearing with a long cardigan or longer-in-the-back sweater, which does mitigate the body con effect.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Beth Ann</b> -- these kick flares will be <b>AMAZING </b>on you. I am so glad you got them. Perfect for your job, too. Someone, I think it was <b>LIsaP,</b> mentioned that they had not become the workhorses she expected when she got them last year and she thought it was the waistband. I get the point -- it feels a bit thin for the weight of the pants, almost. But for me, the reason they weren't workhorses at first was the lack of front pockets. Once I paired with a cardigan that has pockets, everything changed. I think you might feel the same, <b>Beth Ann</b>, esp. for work. ETA -- I <b>do</b> have red booties. &nbsp;So I can create a column of red if I want to be really bold. :)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>DonnaF, </b>maybe if you size up in the velour tee it will be a looser neckline. That might also be good for me -- we'll see.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Merwoman, Gryffin, Banoffi</b> -- high five on the Aquatalias! And thank you. .</p> <p>Thank you,<b> Unfrumped</b>&nbsp;&amp; <b>Peri</b>-- the berry top would be lovely on you!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Diana</b>, thank you!! I know the top will be a "special occasion" kind of top for me, too, but its being knit makes it easier to wear and for dishes etc. the sleeves just fold back. :)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Joy</b>, you are going to love the velour tee!!</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, thank you! I accept the crown! I adore red and always have. &nbsp;Tomato is still a bit on the warm side for me but fire engine has come back into its own now that I am grey. I wore it for years as a child/ teen/ 20s young woman but in the past decade it didn't work with my complexion / dyed hair. Now it works brilliantly again. Cranberry is still also wonderful.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Smittie, JAileen, Gretchen, Joyce, Debora, Barbara Diane, Jenn --&nbsp;</b>thank you for your thoughts!&nbsp;</p> <p>I will order a size up on the velour tee for comparison and am considering what else I might send back or order anew! :)&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-reviews-and-report/page/2#post-1829950 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 00:04:37 +0000 Column 1829950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz,<br /> You slay! How you manage to get such variety out of a limited color palette is beyond me! Must study--and the bell sleeves SUIT you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-reviews-and-report#post-1829945 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 23:55:24 +0000 Windchime 1829945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the velvet top on you! All your keepers are fab on you; the red crop kick flares are going to be a fun style update; something about the red seems very you.</p> <p>Along with LisaP, I was expecting the earrings to be about 10 times larger! It must be the proportion of earrings to white space in the description. </p> <p>The Halogen vintage blooms scarf arrived at my house yesterday. The fabric certainly feels lovely, but I'm not yet completely sure if I'll keep it.</p> <p>Glad you're pleased with your items! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-reviews-and-report#post-1829941 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 23:44:26 +0000 JAileen 1829941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought the velvet top would look great, and I was right! I like bell sleeve top too. When I looked at the pictures, I thought the scarf looked really pretty, but what do I know? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-reviews-and-report#post-1829937 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 23:24:51 +0000 Anonymous 1829937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the red pants!!<br /> I like how you've styled them.</p> <p>The COH Caras--look great.

I hereby crown you Queen Fire Engine Red. That colour is Killer Sublime on you.</p> <p>LOVE everything that you got. Aren't those earrings <i>amazing</i>. Very under-loved on YLF.&nbsp;</p> <p>As far as bright red pants - I'm a fan - and happy to see you <i>back </i>on Team Non-Neutral Pants. Truly, red is a "neutral", and looks good with most colours. You wear them splendidly. Adore the looks you put together in #4. KILLER. Relaxed Radiance. *smiling*</p> <p>The bell sleeve top is a fun on trend look. A playful experiment. CoH jeans are super cute too.&nbsp;</p> <p>YAY FOR THE TALL BOOTS. A biased MAGICAL from me. They've moulded to the length of your lower leg like I thought they might because of the stretchy panels and excellent quality. The pointy toes are divine, not to mention the comfort.&nbsp;</p> <p>And AT LAST, someone is modeling the velour tee. It's sooooo fun. The colour is perfect with your hair, Suz. I do have to ask whether you think the size is right. Do you need to try a size up, perhaps?&nbsp; </p>
