I've had my eye on that top for awhile now too--waiting for it to go on sale. (I have a hard time justifying paying full price for anything now that I'm a SAHM.) Love the tunic on you too!</p> <p>FYI--those gauze tops were on clearance at my local ON and they're having a 50% off clearance sale now too. I think it goes through Wednesday. You might nip back there and see about that price adjustment. I bought the same gauze top and paid $8 and change. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items-need-opinions#post-95375 Sun, 20 Sep 2009 18:13:03 +0000 chewyspaghetti 95375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok good.<br /> I'm a little annoyed with Old Navy right now. I came home to find that the tops that I bought were all on sale online- for quite a bit cheaper than I paid. I emailed customer service to ask if they coudl do a pprice adjustment. I at least expected them to tell me to order it online, and comp me the shipping. They did nothing, although they do offer price adjustjments in store if it goes on sale int he store.<br /> Anyway....<br /> That belt is about 2 sizes too big. I have just been making more and more holes (and cutting off the end), but even the last hole is too big. It's suede and it tends to fold over and get floppy and generally annoys me. It's wider than what I would like, too.</p> <p>Angie-<br /> The coat: There's plenty of room for layers underneath. Yes, the sleeves are long- and yes, this is common for me. I'm kind of torn on it right now. The price was right, but the sleeves need to be altered. I know that it will be three months until I could actually wear this, but I think that it will be ok still. I have a parka from last winter that I will probably still be able to wear this year.<br /> It wasn't me that said I didn't like tunics- I love tunics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items-need-opinions#post-95364 Sun, 20 Sep 2009 16:49:54 +0000 Angie 95364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay! I’m back. </p> <p>o The coat is beautiful. I see you aren’t wearing anything else underneath it though. Make sure it fits with all the relevant layers. Looks like its long on the sleeves? Do you usually have items fall long at the sleeve? </p> <p>o KILLER floral top. Duplicate. I really like the wide belt! It looks like it fits. Where is it too big? </p> <p>o Nice green blouse. I think its fine unbelted. </p> <p>o Great cord tunic! Was it you who said you don’t like tunics? I hope you like them now!</p> <p>o Sweet scarf. </p> <p>Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items-need-opinions#post-95341 Sun, 20 Sep 2009 15:33:10 +0000 Tanya 95341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also think that they are all keepers. You look great in belts and that first floral blouse is amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items-need-opinions#post-95338 Sun, 20 Sep 2009 15:20:19 +0000 shiny 95338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are all keepers. Kristen has a good point about the coat, which fits you very nicely at the moment. I like the belt -what don't you like about it?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items-need-opinions#post-95322 Sun, 20 Sep 2009 11:44:54 +0000 Kristen 95322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE you in the woven tops and a belt! This is definitely a look that will work for you with your new shape -- and you will be able to get more mileage out of it longer because you can cinch the belt the more you keep losing.</p> <p>Everything is a keeper: the teal top, the pattern one, the cord tunic (that is SO YOU), and while I can't see the pattern of the scarf well, it's probably great. The only thing I would caution is buying a wool coat this soon in the season; you are losing inches very fast right now, and it likely will not fit when it's time to wear it. Buy that when it actually gets cold -- it will probably be on sale by then anyway! I learned that the hard way with suits. :)</p> <p>I PM'ed you about belts, by the way. I have many that don't work for me anymore, and I am happy to ship them out to you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items-need-opinions#post-95306 Sun, 20 Sep 2009 06:15:18 +0000 Chris 95306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your moto jacket - must have missed that post from before. What brand is that one if I may ask?</p> <p>Grey coat is killer shape and practical yet fashionable color. Cream would be gorgeous but needs cleaning more often right?</p> <p>Love you in a belt - what a waistline!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items-need-opinions#post-95302 Sun, 20 Sep 2009 05:17:34 +0000 chewyspaghetti 95302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh good Angie- cuz I love that. I may duplicate it in a solid.<br /> San I am dying to find belts, but haven't been able to. I am going to try and get to Kohl's because they have some online that I like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items-need-opinions#post-95300 Sun, 20 Sep 2009 05:10:04 +0000 Angie 95300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll comment in more detail tomorrow but I just wanted to chime in swiftly and say that you ARE SHRINKING at a rate of knots! And that the purple floral peasant blouse in KILLER. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items-need-opinions#post-95287 Sun, 20 Sep 2009 04:42:57 +0000 Anonymous 95287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great with a belt. This must be your new hourglass figure speaking to you. You should defantely go and buy a collection of belts to play with in styling your outfits. I just bought 4 today and I can't tell you how excited I am about playing around with my wardrobe. This is what makes it fun. I had no idea what I was missing all these years. I always had the attitude that I would not spend money on accessories. I was missing so much.<br /> I also bought some necklaces and a bracelet and a new scarf. All of these things were on sale at Nordstroms. They are moving out the last of summer items to make room for the new cool weather clothes.<br /> Anyway I'm sorry I got off topic.<br /> You look wonderful in your new things and I just love the belt on you!!!! I love the big buckle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items-need-opinions#post-95237 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 23:38:19 +0000 chewyspaghetti 95237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, I picked up a few things today and I need opinions. Forgive the quality of the pictures. I can make more tomorrow if need be.</p> <p>First of all- a wool coat. I had wanted a cream colored coat for this year, but because it will probably only fit for one winter, the price point was important. This one is charcoal gray, but I love the detailing.<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chewyspaghetti/3934948153/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/c.....934948153/</a></p> <p>Tops<br /> I'm using this belt for demonstration purposes. It's currently the only belt that I have. It's too big, and much too wide. I'm on the hunt for a narrow, brown belt with gold or brass hardawrd, but it'as proving difficult to find.</p> <p>#1<br /> I really like thsi one belted, and if I can ever find the right I think that it will be fine<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chewyspaghetti/3935729074/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/c.....935729074/</a></p> <p>#2<br /> I like the color of this one, and I think that it may even be ok unbelted.<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chewyspaghetti/3935729174/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/c.....935729174/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chewyspaghetti/3935729192/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/c.....935729192/</a></p> <p>#3<br /> This cord tunic top/utility dress was on sale and I couldn't resist it. I see lots of layering options here.<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chewyspaghetti/3934948123/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/c.....934948123/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chewyspaghetti/3934948111/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/c.....934948111/</a></p> <p>lastly, a plaid scarf<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chewyspaghetti/3935729240/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/c.....935729240/</a><br /> I've been looking for just the right one, and I think the colors in this (which don't show very well in this picture) might go with lots of what I already have.</p> <p>Opinions? </p>
