I'm sure you will find the Kelly green one too. It looks like your new orange jacket could work with all of these tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shirt-replacements#post-1001197 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 01:41:53 +0000 pastrygirl 1001197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz -- your words about what may or may not work after weight loss were in my head the whole time! Really, with all my shopping lately. I am branching out and trying different shapes and styles than before. I don't want to go back to my old standby, same-old look.&nbsp;It's so much FUN! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shirt-replacements#post-1001195 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 01:37:48 +0000 Suz 1001195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I am gobsmacked! Like Declawed, I was convinced you had set yourself on a fool's errand. And I wondered why you why you even bothered.&nbsp;</p> <p>Well, you taught me a lesson! What fantastic replacements! As Kat says, it looks as if you upgraded vs. simply replacing.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love your idea to post the old and the new together. And I love your new jacket, too!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shirt-replacements#post-1001193 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 01:36:15 +0000 pastrygirl 1001193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! I am beyond thrilled. I don't feel like I compromised at all, which was my goal with these particular items.</p> <p>Kat -- what is PPP?&nbsp;</p> <p>Ornella -- originally started with a WIW, because I wore the the top in #3 today, then realized I really wanted to compare what I'd bought with what I had. And, I wanted to clear out the old stuff from my closet. :)</p> <p>DonnaF -- I know! I really thought it was a futile effort, and that MAYBE I'd find one top, and even then, that I'd be settling for something ho-hum. And even when I found these in the store, what was the likelyhood that they would WORK?? And, the supreme bonus for me -- that they'd all be machine wash/dry? I'm over the moon, to say the least!</p> <p>Parsley -- I've been weightlifting (real weights!) since February, but my latest push is Drop Two Sizes by Rachel Cosgrove. I'm on week 8 of a 12-week program, and my results have been unbelievable. I look at my body and think I look the same, but then the clothes (and photos)&nbsp;tell a completely different story.</p> <p>pil -- I found all but the lace tank in one store (Bon Ton), which I visited for an hour. The lace tank was the day before at TJMaxx, also maybe an hour spent. But I've been looking a couple of times a week in my local stores&nbsp;since April or May! With kids, so brief excursions.&nbsp;Macy's, TJMaxx, JCP, Ann Taylor/Loft, Chico's, Gap, etc. Patience (or frustration?) paid off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shirt-replacements#post-1001183 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 01:27:21 +0000 hedgiehog 1001183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PG, you did a great job with the replacements!

What perfect replacement tops you found! They all look great.&nbsp;<br />And you are looking sleek and trim as can be!

I love the jacket on you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shirt-replacements#post-1000991 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 22:29:07 +0000 Ornella 1000991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did a fantastic job with replacing the old favourites. What I like most is your strategic approach - you knew what you were after. I don't think we had a thread like this, it's perfect illustration of upgrading. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your beautiful new clothes.</p> <p>And post WIWs too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shirt-replacements#post-1000827 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 19:54:00 +0000 Debra 1000827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow.......you go girl, all of those great buys in one hit....the stars were definitely aligned...I love them all, especially the little black and white houndstooth top and orange jacket </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shirt-replacements#post-1000791 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 19:26:21 +0000 Peri 1000791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you did fantastically! I really like the top in picture #3 and the bright orange jacket the best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shirt-replacements#post-1000762 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 18:19:46 +0000 Makrame 1000762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, looks great! &nbsp;I especially like the first and the last top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shirt-replacements#post-1000752 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 18:10:53 +0000 christieanne 1000752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great idea! You have inspired me to photograph a few that I still like but could use an upgrade. Then I can use for reference in the stores. Brilliant. </p> <p>I just love that peplum jacket on you - maybe it wasn't in the plan but when something is so great for you, you should jump! Lovely. All of your choices will be great. </p> <p>And the first t - very nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shirt-replacements#post-1000748 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 18:04:11 +0000 DeclawedJaguar 1000748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all the replacements! They are very similar to the originals, but so much fresher. And that jacket in 5 is incredible! Peplums were made for you!&nbsp;I can't wait to see outfits with it. It will look amazing with a pencil skirt. I think this is the most exclamation points I have used in a post, ever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shirt-replacements#post-1000744 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 17:58:51 +0000 Glory 1000744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow you have done a terrific job. I absolutely love the neck line on the 3rd new top.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shirt-replacements#post-1000739 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 17:48:35 +0000 Kat 1000739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Must say it looks to me that you didn't just replace, you upgraded!&nbsp; Just Excellent.&nbsp; And now all that focus can go into the kelly green shirt and you can wait for PPP. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shirt-replacements#post-1000736 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 17:42:56 +0000 pastrygirl 1000736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After a couple of months of failure, I decided to try EVERY store in my in-laws' sad shopping area when we visited. I decided to try Bon Ton last-minute, and found everything but the lacy tank there. In a single store!! With 75% off clearance. All the stars aligned! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shirt-replacements#post-1000735 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 17:38:18 +0000 rachylou 1000735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's incredible. What great matches and replacements. How on earth did you find them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shirt-replacements#post-1000733 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 17:32:18 +0000 pastrygirl 1000733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I started this thread a few weeks ago about replacing favorites that I can't wear anymore: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/replacing-unwearable-favorites" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-favorites</a></p> <p>I found some great replacements and wanted to share (photos 2-4). Still looking for an elusive kelly green top! I'm also looking for a sassy sweatshirt, but found a t-shirt that will do the trick for now (1). I also need to start building a jacket/topper collection, and fell in love with this bright orange jacket with a peplum back (5). The last top (6) was just an extra I found, because I love pink and orange together! </p>
