I keep seeing them in ads and wondering about them, because none of you has ever mentioned them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-november-and-december-shopping#post-2163777 Tue, 05 Jan 2021 06:58:34 +0000 Bijou 2163777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such great and considered purchases. I love how you are practical with what you buy and yet the items are always interesting. The corduroy jacket is going to be spectacular on you. I will have to investigate guying my bras online, I was shocked at how expensive they were last time I bought some new ones from my local retailer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-november-and-december-shopping#post-2163708 Mon, 04 Jan 2021 19:24:37 +0000 Suz 2163708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, please, share your Canadian sites for us!! Eager to learn. And love your vintage jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-november-and-december-shopping#post-2163698 Mon, 04 Jan 2021 17:00:08 +0000 Style Fan 2163698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much, everyone!</p> <p>Staysfit, I agree that finding an online source for bras was time-consuming, but in the end, it was worth it.&nbsp; I buy my bras when I travel because the local store has a limited selection.&nbsp; Well, we know what that means.&nbsp; Also, they were much less expensive online than in the stores.<br />Finn Comfort does take custom orthotics.&nbsp; I don't use custom ones.&nbsp; The ones that come with the shoe mould to your feet and can be replaced.&nbsp; They work so well for my feet.&nbsp; Happy New Year to you!!!!</p> <p>Angie, the corduroy jacket is very 70s.&nbsp; It does need some tailoring, which will have to wait until things open up.</p> <p>Rachy, I was chicken about online shopping, but what was I going to do?&nbsp; Wear PJs all day?&nbsp; Live in my yoga clothes?&nbsp; I am still a bit nervous about buying from places like Shopbop because they don't give measurements.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Suntiger, I think brand loyalty becomes important with online shopping.&nbsp; I know what to expect now from places like Everlane.&nbsp; They do give measurements, and they show different models.&nbsp; That is so helpful.</p> <p>La Ped, I can see the Cheeky Jeans being workhorses for me too.&nbsp; They work for my body type.&nbsp; I might order them in another wash if these work out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-november-and-december-shopping#post-2163602 Sun, 03 Jan 2021 16:11:16 +0000 Staysfit 2163602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can imagine how nice the rich warm brown items &nbsp;look with your skin and hair. &nbsp;You have had remarkable shopping successes given the circumstances! &nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>Finn Comfort shoes are supposed to be well made and I believe they accommodate custom orthotics. &nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Finding online sources for the bras I prefer was time consuming but worth the effort. &nbsp;They turned out to be less expensive than when I purchase them from the lingerie boutique in town. It will be a hard choice deciding if I will continue to purchase online in the future or give my business to the local shop...</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Happy New Year Style Fan!&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-november-and-december-shopping#post-2163589 Sun, 03 Jan 2021 15:01:22 +0000 Angie 2163589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such YOU items!

I didn't used to understand all the brand loyalty in my early days here, since I was shopping in stores and just picked up whatever looked interesting- but now I do. Too much guesswork online otherwise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-november-and-december-shopping#post-2163517 Sun, 03 Jan 2021 00:14:57 +0000 Style Fan 2163517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, everyone!&nbsp; It was a big step for me to shop online but a necessary one.&nbsp; Shopping locally is not an option here, and I had run out of clothes.&nbsp; Yes really.<br />The Canadian sites that I have been using are:</p> <p>1/&nbsp; TheBra for lingerie.&nbsp; They do not have a huge selection, but fortunately for me, they carry Chantelle, which I like.&nbsp; I know my size in that brand.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>2/&nbsp; Pop and Emm for vintage clothing.&nbsp; I found them through Lisa P.&nbsp; She posts on Instagram.&nbsp; Shipping is $12.00, but her prices are reasonable, so I am okay with that.&nbsp; I usually wait until I have a few pieces before I have her ship things to me.</p> <p>3/&nbsp; Everlane.&nbsp; They are not Canadian, but they do not charge duty, and returns are so easy.&nbsp; The returns go to Calgary, so that helps speed the process along. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-november-and-december-shopping#post-2163514 Sun, 03 Jan 2021 00:06:31 +0000 LaPed 2163514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like you’ve had a good year style wise.

The shoes are the most difficult for me, lingerie- only familiar brands.
