It's absolutely stunning on you.<br /> Tory Burch Dress: Gorgeous.<br /> Kate Spade pants? Killer. Can't wait to see how you style them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-shopping-spree-with-pics#post-318589 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 23:51:41 +0000 rae 318589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved seeing your pictures! Everything is SO pretty. The Theory items, the color of the dress in #1... I am envious. I think the blazer can definitely look great depending on how you style it. Maybe with a pencil skirt and an interesting top or something? The color definitely has potential! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-shopping-spree-with-pics#post-318579 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 23:24:11 +0000 catgirl 318579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love everything, including the wrap dress (send it to me, please!). i understand the need to return, though... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-shopping-spree-with-pics#post-318574 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 23:07:04 +0000 Auburn 318574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what an ego boost, ladies!<br /> I wore the lime green Kate Spade dress to a work meeting in LA on Thursday--it was unseasonably cold and so I paired it with tights, patent leather kitten heeled pumps and a dressy boyfriend cardigan. It carried me from a 6am flight to 10pm cocktails with ease and I felt professional and attractive (not to mention St. Paddy's Day appropriate)!<br /> The blazer and TB wrap dress will have to go back, but I'm not too sad about that. I also picked up an oversized Equipment blouse in poppy (which I wore with jeans this weekend and LOVED), a pair of luggage color wedges, yet another striped sweater (this one with dolman sleeves) and some two-tone ballet flats. I'm ready to call my spring shopping done, and so is my wallet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-shopping-spree-with-pics#post-316527 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 14:36:56 +0000 Lisa 316527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1-lovely dress, keep<br /> 2-you look like a knock out in this, keep<br /> 4-pretty but if you already have a few of this style wrap dress and like the print, perhaps they made a blouse or tank in this print instead?<br /> 5-lovely, keep<br /> 7-not up to par with the rest although the color is lovely. A tad boxy, not the same style as these other pieces, return<br /> 8-super fab, keep and have waist taken in </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-shopping-spree-with-pics#post-316434 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 05:26:40 +0000 Sylvie 316434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both the lime green KS dress and the Theory dress, but the lime green dress is my absolute favorite. It's stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-shopping-spree-with-pics#post-316428 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 05:19:15 +0000 Marley 316428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them all - absolutely beautiful pieces. The Theory dress is gorgeous. Love the lime dress. LOVE the red pants. My least favorite item is the Classiques blazer - your other pieces are just so much more FAB than the jacket - it looks so-so - nice color on you - but just not up to the standards of the rest of your haul! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-shopping-spree-with-pics#post-315878 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 17:36:59 +0000 Scarlet 315878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these all look absolutely wonderful! The classiques blazer stands out as being more classic and mature than the other pieces, but I still think the color and cut suit you. I would say for that one, it depends if that is filling a hole in your work wardrobe. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-shopping-spree-with-pics#post-315876 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 17:36:47 +0000 MsMary 315876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all of it! My fave is the first dress -- that color is FAB!! But I vote "keep it all!!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-shopping-spree-with-pics#post-315850 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 17:12:33 +0000 amyreh 315850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am soooooo in love with that 1st Kate Spade dress - gorgeous! I love all of this stuff though! Those red pants are amazing and I want some now! With the red jacket I feel you can definitely jazz it up with maybe a slim cut pant or pencil skirt and some fun jewelry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-shopping-spree-with-pics#post-315819 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 15:53:32 +0000 FoolOfATook 315819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a fantastic haul! Probably my least favorite of the bunch is #4 ( the print is not my favorite). Oh my goodness, dress #2 is stunning. No wonder it makes you feel like a million bucks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-shopping-spree-with-pics#post-315812 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 15:41:06 +0000 morethanbeige 315812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Auburn lovely haul! My favorites are 2, 5, and 8. You look stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-shopping-spree-with-pics#post-315810 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 15:39:30 +0000 Heather 315810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great haul, Auburn. You are a KNOCK OUT in that lime KS dress! Holy Cow!</p> <p>And the KS red trousers.....*fanning* ADORE. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-shopping-spree-with-pics#post-315806 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 15:30:34 +0000 Angie 315806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Being a Kate Spade and Theory gal myself, I know all those pieces. LOVE! All absolutely sensational. The Theory pieces are actually my favourite on you, Auburn. They are k-word worthy for sure. The TB dress and red trousers are next.</p> <p>The Classiques jacket is the weakest of the lot, even though it's still fabulous. Does that make sense? </p> <p>Enjoy your beautiful new haul! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-shopping-spree-with-pics#post-315761 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 14:18:19 +0000 Mo 315761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1, #2, #7 super keep!!! #8 keep. #4 and #5 are okay but just not personally my taste so I can't form an unbiased opinion </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-shopping-spree-with-pics#post-315756 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 14:11:33 +0000 Sarah 315756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Wish that were my haul. :)</p> <p>#1 is stunning. Amazing color and style. Keep!!! </p> <p>#2-3 is fantastic and super versatile. Keep.</p> <p>#4 - Wow, adore the pattern on this! If it were mine I'd keep it, but I don't have anything like it in my wardrobe.</p> <p>#5-6 - Unique, but I agree that it hides your shape somewhat. </p> <p>#7 - So flattering! Red is so your color. (I'm not understanding the BF's reasoning.) Keep!</p> <p>#8-9 - See first two sentences of #7! Those are fantastic. Keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-shopping-spree-with-pics#post-315753 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 14:08:23 +0000 Anonymous 315753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those pants are unbelievable on you!!!! LOVE!!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-shopping-spree-with-pics#post-315737 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 13:42:25 +0000 modgrl 315737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am dying for the red on you! Sorry BF didn't like the red jacket, I think it is darling on you, a perfect fun color piece for the office. </p> <p>Also OMG those pants are TDF, calling them stunning seems like an understatement. I can see them with just a fitted white T and 5" platform stilettos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-shopping-spree-with-pics#post-315734 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 13:36:38 +0000 Jonesy 315734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the Theory pieces, especially the blouse. I think the wrap dress looks wonderful on you, but I get the need to rein yourself in if you already have 4 in your closet :). Love the red pants as-is. They look sporty and super chic, IMO. I am less into the lime dress (it fits you well, I think it's just too preppy for me, but of course I'm not wearing it, you are, and I think you definitely have some prepster in your style, right?) and the red jacket. I could maybe see the jacket with a different belt and a pencil skirt, but here with the pants, it doesn't quite live up to your other pieces (or other outfits you've posted). Just my two cents, of course! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-shopping-spree-with-pics#post-315724 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 13:04:16 +0000 liss 315724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 - LOVE<br /> 2 - LOVE LOVE LOVE<br /> 4 - LIKE<br /> 5 - LOVE<br /> 7 - LOVE<br /> 8 - LOVE LOVE !!!!!<br /> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-shopping-spree-with-pics#post-315722 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 12:57:19 +0000 sarah 315722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did really well - keep it all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-shopping-spree-with-pics#post-315684 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 09:22:16 +0000 Aunty 315684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Superb haul. You look great in everything! KEEP </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-shopping-spree-with-pics#post-315664 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 07:14:16 +0000 CocoLion 315664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in love with your spring haul and impressed that you wear dresses. I only wear jeans (although attempting to do so with style).</p> <p>Dress 1: beautiful and unique. KEEP.<br /> Dress 2: stunning, the draping is fantastic. It looks like a $1500-2000 dress. KEEP.<br /> Dress 3: my least favorite, and not because you are thinking of returning it. Just not as special as the others. You have set the bar high.<br /> Theory Top: Special but it hides your figure. Is this one of those 3D tops that needs to be seen in motion? If you keep it, it needs slim tapered pants to balance the volume on top.<br /> Blazer: I love this, it fits so well, is versatile and colorful. It just needs some stylish cohorts to bring out its beauty. I vote KEEP.<br /> Pants: Also KEEP, they don't look big to me, they look quite perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-shopping-spree-with-pics#post-315659 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 06:44:58 +0000 thimblelina 315659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What great pieces! I think the jacket is cute and not stodgy at all. L. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-shopping-spree-with-pics#post-315646 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 06:09:22 +0000 Auburn 315646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I buttered up the BF and got him to snap pics of my spring haul. I've included my thoughts about what to keep vs. return but would sure love to hear yours.<br /> Caveat: there is something weird happening with the lighting in this room, creating a shadow around my legs which adds at least 15 lbs. Not good. I promise that all of these are far more flattering in person!</p> <p>1: Kate Spade dress. The camera angle (BF was laying in bed) is making the waist look too high but I think it hits properly IRL. I like this with tights for work and without for a fab weekend brunch. The lime color is something I don't have much of in my closet.</p> <p>2-3: Navy Theory dress. I included the 2nd pic so you can see the draping at the waist which is my favorite part of the dress. I feel like a million bucks in this one and think it will prove highly versatile.</p> <p>4: Tory Burch faux wrap dress. I really like this one but am almost certain I'll return it--I have several (okay, 4) of this same EXACT dress in different patterns (and made by Issa) in my closet and they just haven't been getting much wear at my new job so I don't feel that I can justify yet another, as lovely as the print on this one is. </p> <p>5-6: Navy Theory blouse. I would do more in the way of styling IRL, but, again, I fell for the draping on this one. The front panel is silk while the sleeves and back are a soft jersey knit. Something I see being a closet workhorse.</p> <p>7: Classiques blazer (on sale). This is the only piece that BF flat out did not like--he thought it looked dated and not fashionable enough. It meets my criteria of being a not overly conservative and non-black/grey blazer that I can pair with work pants and skirts but I'd love to get YLF input on this one. Can I do better?</p> <p>8-9: Kate Spade pants. I LOVE these! No styling for picture purposes (besides my leopard print pumps) and I'm not totally certain I can pull such aggressive pants off at the office but I really like the way they fall. These do seem a tad baggy, especially around the waist, but I fear the size down could be fitted (NOT what I want), so if these get approval, I would have them taken in a tad. </p> <p>Thanks for looking!! </p>
