As a lover of Bao Bao bags, I think you need to wait until you find one that thrills you. They come in all different shapes, sizes and colours and I find they tend to find me rather than the other way around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-purchases-and-bd-gift#post-2237574 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 09:41:56 +0000 approprio 2237574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Many happy returns! Or should that be keepers?&nbsp;</p> <p>I shop less and less. However, I have always maintained a “when you see it, buy it” principle, rather than sticking to a specific pace. If something is a rarity, specific to your style or body shape, you should go for it. </p> <p>I really like the bag. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-purchases-and-bd-gift#post-2237559 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 06:15:53 +0000 Suz 2237559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Birthday! I love the bag -- such a beautiful shape and in that colour it is even more moon-reminiscent.&nbsp;</p> <p>The jeans look super fab! Is the waist really really really high on them, or not so high? And did you take your usual size or size up?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-purchases-and-bd-gift#post-2237554 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 05:41:56 +0000 rachylou 2237554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 is my fave.

You look as chic and elegant as ever-in a sweatshirt! I’m in awe. And I think the room looks tidy!<br /> I second you on buying supposed crops that are full length on shorties like us-I am even shorter at 155 or 156 cm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-purchases-and-bd-gift#post-2237539 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 03:56:53 +0000 Jaime 2237539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this outfit and love your bag choice - that one is on my short list of bags I would recognize and snag in a second! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-purchases-and-bd-gift#post-2237519 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 02:00:25 +0000 Irina 2237519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you,&nbsp;<b>Minaminu, Jonesy, Style fan, Lisa p, nuancedream, slim cat!<br />Minaminu</b>, yes the opening of the bag is tight and the bag is very structured. I hope it will soften with use but I’m not too concerned about it. I’m used to narrow openings on small bags.<br /><b>slim cat</b>, thanks! This is used to be my son’s room but now it is my “outfit lab” :)</p> <p>I pushed my style forward with the color of the bag (or so I hope). My default choice is always black but I’m experimenting with my accessories, a shaky ground for me. Thank you for your support! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-purchases-and-bd-gift#post-2237515 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 01:33:07 +0000 slim cat 2237515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy birthday!

Duplicating jeans that work well for you makes total sense to me, as does replacing a wool scarf with a cashmere one. Happy birthday!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-purchases-and-bd-gift#post-2237481 Tue, 09 Nov 2021 23:32:59 +0000 Minaminu 2237481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>happy belated birthday! I had my birthday last week, my present is still to come I like your new pieces! Love the APC bag, I would be interested to hear how easy to use it is, the opening is a bit strange! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-purchases-and-bd-gift#post-2237475 Tue, 09 Nov 2021 23:11:31 +0000 Irina 2237475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you,&nbsp;<b>Angie &amp; Sal</b>!<br /><b>Sal</b>,&nbsp;<b></b>these are both straight ribcage in ankle length. I’m so grateful for cropped jeans and pants, all full length bottoms would need to be shortened for 5’3 (160 cm) me.<b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-purchases-and-bd-gift#post-2237470 Tue, 09 Nov 2021 22:42:14 +0000 Anonymous 2237470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking forward to seeing them Irina ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-purchases-and-bd-gift#post-2237469 Tue, 09 Nov 2021 22:39:53 +0000 Angie 2237469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER cute look! The stripe in the sweatshirt works soooo well with the mules.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hope you had a fab birthday!</p> <p>Essentials SHOULD be duplicated. Well done </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-purchases-and-bd-gift#post-2237461 Tue, 09 Nov 2021 22:17:01 +0000 Sal 2237461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great additions. Love the bag - it is very you!!</p> <p>I have these jeans too I think (mine are ribcage straight - I had to get them chopped a wee bit).&nbsp; Mine come to my navel - they are my highest rise and don't have much stretch - but I do love them.&nbsp; The black wash is fun as a mix up as well - has a bit of an 80s flavour.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-purchases-and-bd-gift#post-2237447 Tue, 09 Nov 2021 21:17:15 +0000 Irina 2237447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><u><b></b></u><b>Janet &amp; lozz_oz,</b><b><u></u></b> seems I’m in a good company of duplicators! :)<br /><u><b></b></u><b>lisa p</b><u><b></b>,&nbsp;</u>they&nbsp;are higher than any of my other jeans but not extremely so. “Ribcage “ used to spook me, too. This is why I haven’t tried them before. These are a mix of lyocell and cotton, so they are softer and already stretched a bit. I will post a picture tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-purchases-and-bd-gift#post-2237440 Tue, 09 Nov 2021 20:59:09 +0000 Anonymous 2237440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh - I'll take everything here, please and thank you. That sweatshirt is so chic, if that's at all possible for a sweatshirt. &nbsp;And gorgeous bag. I'd love to see the jeans on you - if you are at all interested in posting a picture. &nbsp;I've been thinking about ordering a pair, because every blog everywhere raves about them, but the word "ribcage" in the description freaks me out. Are they really THAT high waisted? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-purchases-and-bd-gift#post-2237439 Tue, 09 Nov 2021 20:54:46 +0000 lozz_oz 2237439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely wardrobe ‘enhancements’! I duplicated Levi’s wedgie jeans for the same reason as you. I like the sweatshirt with the stripe welt detail and can see its versatility for your wardrobe. Beautiful bag that is just your style. All round these look like very considered additions. Belated birthday wishes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-purchases-and-bd-gift#post-2237437 Tue, 09 Nov 2021 20:36:28 +0000 Janet 2237437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, that bag is sweet! Happy birthday! The jeans look like a really useful purchase, even as duplication -- I duplicated my favorite straight leg jeans (AG Harper) in black and grey, in addition to blue, so you'll hear no criticism from me. The sweatshirt looks fab too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-purchases-and-bd-gift#post-2237435 Tue, 09 Nov 2021 20:33:22 +0000 Irina 2237435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My wardrobe &nbsp;“enhancement” should be only 1 item per month but I bought two. Don’t know how I feel about it. On one hand I slipped and duplicated an item in a different color (promised myself not to do it)but on another hand I bought things (jeans) that are hard for me to find. Or so I tell myself.<br />My birthday gift was supposed to be a Bao Bao bag but when I tried the one I had in mind, I was not as excited as I thought I’d be about it. So, I went with my second option.<br />Also, in full disclosure, I also bought a beige cashmere scarf (not shown here) as a replacement for my very old wool beige scarf.</p> <p>1. Levi’s ribcage ankle jeans in blue - replacement for my old 7FAM jeans<br />2. Levi’s ribcage ankle jeans in black acid wash - unplanned enhancement&nbsp;<br />3. Cream sweatshirt from Massimo Dutti - planned enhancement. Very sorry for a mess on the background, trying a new spot for taking pictures.<br />4. Birthday gift - Half Moon bag in taupe from APC</p> <p>Thank you for looking! </p>
