I have a purple Tippi that just doesn't work on me, and seeing yours makes me realize I should have sized up at least one size if not two. Yours looks so perfectly slouchy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-and-ink-good-and-bad-news#post-1108367 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 04:02:19 +0000 marianna 1108367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great sweater.

I advice get 2 sizes to compare if shipping and returns are free. They also have merino V-necks which may be a more flattering neckline for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-and-ink-good-and-bad-news#post-1108302 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 03:02:22 +0000 Eliza 1108302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta- that sweater is stunning.

It will work well with lots of the colors you wear. </p> <p>Bummer about the shoes, but it's worth it to take good care of your feet.

I am ordering from it to the border but it is more expensive and less convenient than having it delivered to your home for free with free returns :-(<br />Rae, I tried to stretch them out but I think the toe is too pointy to be comfortable for me. Oh well, maybe another time... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-and-ink-good-and-bad-news#post-1108226 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 01:48:17 +0000 Angie 1108226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad about the pumps, but the killer ink Tippi made up for it I hope. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-and-ink-good-and-bad-news#post-1108214 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 01:34:19 +0000 rae 1108214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no, is there no stretching the shoes? :(</p> <p>The sweater is gorgeous, no wonder you ripped off the tags ASAP! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-and-ink-good-and-bad-news#post-1108169 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 00:33:39 +0000 jennifer 1108169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah I know about the wide foot thing Seriously Annoying !<br /> I got the Calvin Klien (SP?)

The colour is lovely on you.

Now I want one. Should have pounced when the going was good.&nbsp;</p> <p>What a shame about the shoes. I do understand about hard to fit pumps. My issues are different but I can't find any either. These were so pretty but you are doing the right thing sending them back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-and-ink-good-and-bad-news#post-1108083 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 23:20:59 +0000 Thistle 1108083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorges sweater. And I am very sorry about the shoes. I understand your shoe pain. I can't wear heels more than an inch or so, despite how much I live the look. At leas some flats are tending these days.</p> <p>And your Canadian location does seem to make things more difficult. No Zappos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-and-ink-good-and-bad-news#post-1108081 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 23:20:24 +0000 Anonymous 1108081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta that Tippi is so just-right slouchy on you. Inge and Gaylene did a great job helping you out. I can see why you're addicted! Is it cashmere or merino?&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm so sorry about the pumps. I bought some very similar Calvin Klein kitten heels that had a very, very pointy toe. Even thought the heel height was ideal, there was no way I could squeeze my toes into it for very long either (I thought my feet might shrink enough in the cold to make them work but they didn't) and I just let them go last week. You will be chic and happy in another option and won't damage your tootsies that way.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-and-ink-good-and-bad-news#post-1108078 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 23:16:31 +0000 annagybe 1108078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sweater is gorgeous on you.

This week I got 2.</p> <p><b><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_feature/NewArrivals/sweaters/PRDOVR~46725/ENE~1+2+3+22+4294967294+20+225~~~0~15~all~mode+matchallany~~~~~tippi/46725.jsp?isSaleItem=false&amp;isFromSearch=true" rel="nofollow">Ink blue JCrew Tippi sweater</a><br /></b>This was my first ever order from JCrew (thanks for the encouragement, Gaylene!) This ink blue Tippi sweater was such a clear winner that I cut the tags and wore it already twice this week (Go Team Wear!)<br />This color was on a good&nbsp;sale and with additional 30% discount it came to $42! This color is completely gone now so I am glad I pulled the trigger - thanks for Inge to helping me on the size.&nbsp;I am afraid I am going to become a Tippi sweater addict...</p> <p><b><a href="http://www.zappos.com/trotters-paulina-black-kid-suede" rel="nofollow">Navy trotters Pauline pumps</a><br /></b>I have been looking for pointy toe pumps forever. It is a very hard style to find when your forefoot and toe box are wide and especially when sizing up 1/2 is impossible because they just don't make them.<br />I loved these pumps form the moment I opened the box and put them on. They are very pretty in this navy patent suede lizard pattern and the heel height is ideal for me. Alas - they are going back because the toe box is still too narrow for me even in WW It almost broke my heart but there is no point to keep the shoes I cannot wear or more that 1h...</p> <p>Just wanted to share&nbsp;my good and bad news with you... </p>
