I thought I might get more wear from the similarly printed tee under dark cashmere.</p> <p>I am going to have to try styling the DVF cardi more before I decide on it, it has a good color combination for me, and I like leopard patterns, but I would like to avoid looking like I am wearing my bathrobe. (That is where the much desired architectural stance would come in.)</p> <p>The Vince dress I am still waiting on and will post photos when I I receive it.</p> <p>Just so everyone knows, the bad side of that otherwise excellent Club Monaco tee is that it is not a simple machine wash item. I find myself limiting it to non-sweaty days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/order-arrived-today-pretend-i-didnt-say-that-i-wasnt-going-to-go-wild#post-1529114 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 23:58:32 +0000 Anonymous 1529114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just seeing this now - and am glad I did! &nbsp;I totally love the Ted Baker cardi on you, and think it looks fantastic against the white pants and your blonde hair. I know that was not styled that way, but I love it on you . &nbsp;You wouldn't get much wear out of it? &nbsp;I also am in love with the CM tshirt and have to get in there tomorrow and check it out. &nbsp;Also really like the fringe Joie cardi - and I can't really make out details on the DVF cardi, so can't really comment. Leopard print can be a tough one - I find. Sometimes it's fantastic, and other times it looks less so. &nbsp;So what happened with the Vince dress? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/order-arrived-today-pretend-i-didnt-say-that-i-wasnt-going-to-go-wild#post-1529097 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 23:36:00 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1529097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The aquatalia boot is very nice, comfy, a good fit, and the kind of taupe we have agreed upon as a good bookend. I almost kept it, but I am so well set for excellent basics that I am trying to focus on pieces thst make more of a statement. I would say there is a 50/50 chance I will regret sending them back, on a cold wet day in November, before the snow begins.</p> <p>That Club Monaco grey tee with built in semi tuck is in finds. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/order-arrived-today-pretend-i-didnt-say-that-i-wasnt-going-to-go-wild#post-1529093 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 23:29:34 +0000 Suz 1529093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, wow, what a haul! You look amazing in everything (except the one you decided was a miss) so it must be really tough to choose. I love all the items you've decided to keep on you - the Trouvé top is interesting, the tee is flattering and fun, the sweater adds some texture.&nbsp;</p> <p>I was very tempted by the DVF sweater also. It looks like a great leopard on the cooler side. It's so pricey, though, and I wasn't sure I would get enough wear from it to justify. So I ordered a leopard scarf instead, playing it safe...</p> <p>Tell me about the Aquatalia booties. Why did you decide not to keep?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/order-arrived-today-pretend-i-didnt-say-that-i-wasnt-going-to-go-wild#post-1529070 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 23:01:31 +0000 AviaMariah 1529070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great finds. &nbsp;But what about that gray tee? &nbsp;Not NAS I'm assuming but looks like such a great top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/order-arrived-today-pretend-i-didnt-say-that-i-wasnt-going-to-go-wild#post-1529063 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 22:43:12 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1529063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA some decisions at the top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/order-arrived-today-pretend-i-didnt-say-that-i-wasnt-going-to-go-wild#post-1521191 Thu, 16 Jul 2015 18:05:04 +0000 Barbara Diane 1521191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't know your budget or life but I too love the cardigan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/order-arrived-today-pretend-i-didnt-say-that-i-wasnt-going-to-go-wild#post-1521173 Thu, 16 Jul 2015 17:21:21 +0000 rachylou 1521173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm especially loving the Ted Baker tee.

And the black blouse. And the Joie cardigan.

The Ted Baker stuff is amazing on you. Love the colors. Adore the Trouve piece too--it's so different and cool. Grey tee looks like an excellent basic.

Too bad the jacket didn't work out, but sometimes it's a relief to have an easy discard if you're trying to narrow down things at all.<br />Do the floral tee and jacket coordinate? Could be fun some fun, hectic pattern-mixing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/order-arrived-today-pretend-i-didnt-say-that-i-wasnt-going-to-go-wild#post-1520417 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 17:31:41 +0000 rachylou 1520417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't wait to see you model these! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/order-arrived-today-pretend-i-didnt-say-that-i-wasnt-going-to-go-wild#post-1520415 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 17:27:10 +0000 merwoman 1520415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More love for the DVF cardigan...and I'm not even a 'cardi' kind of gal!<br />Better hide that one away!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/order-arrived-today-pretend-i-didnt-say-that-i-wasnt-going-to-go-wild#post-1520414 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 17:27:08 +0000 Susie 1520414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with viva, that cardigan looks beautiful. I love the Joie&nbsp; blue one (love the fringe) and wanted to try it but I was pretty sure that the sleeves would be too long for me. Please report back with an update on your keepers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/order-arrived-today-pretend-i-didnt-say-that-i-wasnt-going-to-go-wild#post-1520401 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 17:13:06 +0000 viva 1520401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, that DVF cardigan looks pretty amazing! I can't wait to see that on you. I have not been lured onto the long cardigan bandwagon, and I am not sure why -- but that one is truly beautiful. I am imagining it with your Micks and all your narrow pants. Gorgeous.</p> <p>Tell me more about the Trouve blouse. What fabric is that? Looks interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/order-arrived-today-pretend-i-didnt-say-that-i-wasnt-going-to-go-wild#post-1520397 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 17:05:01 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1520397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>editing at the top: I have decided to keep the pink Ted Baker tee, the blue Joie fringe cardigan, the Trouvé wet look blouse, and maybe the DVF leopard cardigan.</p> <p>I am trying a different size of the burgundy Laundry jacket.</p> <p>I also ordered the burgundy Vince dress to try, and also this black Rebecca Taylor dress, mostly because in my week of wearing dresses, I was reminded that RT fits me better than any others, and also that a black dress with sleeves might not be a bad thing. I feel like it would be hard to top how Viva looked in the Vince dress but I thought I'd check anyway.</p> <p>All this stuff is in finds, any item not mentioned, I returned. None of it was bad, I'm trying to be super fussy.</p> <p>I've collected the finds for what I ordered and received today. Later to"day I will do photos and a more detailed review. Unfortunately for my weary Nordstrom card, a lot of it looks promising. </p> <p>The only thing I have completely ruled out is the IRO Ajuma jacket. I didn't like anything about it - the shape didn't suit me at all, it's an extremely heavy weight (I was thinking of it as an indoor piece) and some of the knit was already coming loose.</p> <p>I've added my photos. I took the tripod out and everything, only to learn that my cheapie remote shutter died. Please note that nothing is styled, I didn't bother to wear shoes, and my hair is progressively more disordered in each photo. Please feel free to tell me your thoughts, especially if they are bad. My bank account will thank you later.</p> <p>Ted Baker tee -- the colors and print are very nice. Prints are a mainstay for me. The only reason I hesitate is that I got the same shape tee in a red toucan pattern earlier this summer.</p> <p>Ted Baker cardigan -- this is a very high quality piece. Even the buttons are fab. However, I did not buy this as a two piece set, because I would not get enough wear out of it. I think it would look a lot better in the full set version. It will also not be very warm in winter if worn alone or with just a camisole, because the front print pieces are cloth only. Finally, it needs a higher waist bottom piece, even if not the matching skirt.</p> <p>Trouvé black shiny blouse. It looks like a cross between leather and lamè. I like it and think it will add good texture to dark outfits in the fall.</p> <p>Joie skinny gray pants - I liked these better than I thought I would for such a narrow fit. The fabric quality is soft and heavy. However, I felt them sliding down due to wide waist/ narrow hips.</p> <p>Joie blue fringed cardigan. I am breaking the blue ban for this one. I like the fringe because there's not too much of it. Susie I am 5'4" but do not wear petites ever because my limbs are on the long side for my height. The sleeve length suits me.</p> <p>DVF leopard cardigan -- I like it, but it's still expensive and I don't know if I will wear it as much as I hope. I have another long EF cardigan that I like but have not worn as much as I expected because I feel like I am sweeping around in a cape. The colors of this one are perfect, it's something like a soft lambswool so I don't think it will be doing a lot of draping and sweeping. I will probably have to do a better styling effort before deciding.</p> <p>IRO jacket -- I already said why I didn't like it.</p> <p>Oops, included a picture of Reed and the Daylilies by mistake. </p>
