I'll have to check them out. How do you find their fit and sizing? (I'm normal-to-wide across the ball of the foot with high arches that sometimes make shoes fit too snuggly.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-purchases-1#post-2081632 Tue, 03 Dec 2019 10:52:10 +0000 Emilia Spencer 2081632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh it’s so beautiful !!!

It's perfect! Hope you will too.</p> <p>Fun items that look like they will fit into your style well. Fab wild cards too.

I've only ever purchased on sale, and find that their longevity makes it worth the price (I'm in dress shoes almost every day).</p> <p><b>slimcat</b> - you've already been pointed to the size chart. I would add that these feel higher than mid on me... waist is about the same placement as my Wit and Wisdom jeans, if that helps.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>sterling</b> - Red is an outlier this month, but it's about 12% of my wardrobe overall. And it will be a nice statement on top of ivory or navy ensembles! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-purchases-1#post-2081138 Sun, 01 Dec 2019 00:24:30 +0000 Anonymous 2081138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great finds- and love the clutch, and of course the red coat (which I thought was only left in black), most! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-purchases-1#post-2081077 Sat, 30 Nov 2019 21:07:53 +0000 Cee 2081077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Impressive, Gretchen </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-purchases-1#post-2081069 Sat, 30 Nov 2019 20:48:36 +0000 Anonymous 2081069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done. &nbsp;Your color palette is gorgeous. &nbsp;Very calming.</p> <p>The red coat does stand out. &nbsp;Was that an outlier? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-purchases-1#post-2081064 Sat, 30 Nov 2019 20:28:29 +0000 Susie 2081064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful collection of pieces!

Looks like 9.5" for petit 2 and almost 10" for 2 regular. It's a bit high for me - more like high rise jeans ( I'm short waisted ).&nbsp;<br />It is very precise chart - very helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-purchases-1#post-2081057 Sat, 30 Nov 2019 17:55:40 +0000 notsaf 2081057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Slim Cat</b>, Boden gives garment measurements for every garment in every size (it is amazing): just click "Szie Guide" and scroll all the way down to the bottom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-purchases-1#post-2081037 Sat, 30 Nov 2019 16:41:48 +0000 slim cat 2081037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely collection - very thoughtful choices.&nbsp;<br />Boden' cord jeans look fab. On the website it labeled "mid rise" - would you measure as how many inches it is?.. I like straight slim shape but many mid rises are too high for my short waist. The color is one of the best for winter - not too christmas-y but festive and elegant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-purchases-1#post-2080984 Sat, 30 Nov 2019 09:38:54 +0000 Style Fan 2080984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pieces.&nbsp; I love the Patagonia jacket.&nbsp; I have my eye on something similar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-purchases-1#post-2080976 Sat, 30 Nov 2019 08:40:04 +0000 notsaf 2080976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who really stocked up in November!

That was a busy shopping month. Good job sticking to your palette and getting wildcards.

I'm ok with this as every item, except the 2 from the Met Store, were on sale for 25% off or more. (And, I benched 21 pieces this month, so my wardrobe isn't expanding)</p> <p>Most of these buys are in line with my goal of keeping to a tighter color palette, and filling holes to make my wardrobe more versatile&nbsp;</p> <p>Tops:&nbsp;<br />BR cable sweater. Navy comfy goodness. Perfect for winter.&nbsp;<br />St John twinset. Will work as a pair, but with the navy color, both pieces will mix well as standalone items.&nbsp;<br />Talbots t-neck. I'm picky on t-necks, but this one has enough looseness that I am comfortable. Good layering piece for winter.&nbsp;</p> <p>Bottoms:<br />WHBM Gray jeans. Replace a benched pair. Have already worn multiple times.&nbsp;<br />Boden Green Corduroy jeans. Fun for festive season, but will work into Jan/Feb as a solid base.&nbsp;<br />Talbots Velveteen jeans. Also good for all winter long.&nbsp;</p> <p>Outerwear:&nbsp;<br />Patagonia Sweater. Replaces 2 jackets that weren't working.<br />Boden Seacole jacket. Winter Peacoat fabness. Replaces an older winter coat that needed to go.&nbsp;<br />Avec les Filles Jacket. Late to the party on this one, but I couldn't resist when I saw it on sale at Nordstrom.</p> <p>Wildcards:<br />M Gemi sandals. I wanted these last summer but wasn't willing to pay full price. Great to see them on sale.<br />Boden Christmas fair isle. Love the lighter colors, and with Boden quality expect this to last several years.&nbsp;<br />Met Store: Durer zodiac scarf. Fun, perfect colors, planning to use in my next travel capsule.<br />Met Store: St Xavier clutch. A navy clutch with stars and sparkles? Sign me up! Something fun for holiday parties.&nbsp; </p>
