And the sleeve son the polka dot top don't bother me. I have been sensitive about sleeve shape lately and needed a gut check, that's all. Sounds like they look okay. :)</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Angie&nbsp; </b>- our styles are colliding - I guess you're a good influence! So happy that most of my purchases have been successful this season. (I did leave off a couple of items that went back immediately.) The raincoat especially--SO hard to find one that fit with my color parameters. I have the pink top on today, and the polka dots can stay too. It wasn't the top I expected to get, so I had to decide if I was okay with what I did get. it will look good with the white jeans. I think it's a shoulder season item war weather but not high summer), but I'm okay with a few items like that now that they won't get lost in my tiny closet ;)<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>smittie -</b> HI!

Fantastique!<br /> I hear you about raincoat colours and I think this colour is great. Really lovely.<br /> Really nice dress and tops.<br /> I wouldn’t size down on the pink.<br /> I also hear you on exuberant sleeves. I think the top fits you as expected. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-purchases-for-spring#post-2184618 Mon, 05 Apr 2021 17:00:08 +0000 Angie 2184618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE IT ALL, <b>Christina</b>!&nbsp;</p> <p>That green raincoat is all sorts of KILLER FABNESS!

Love the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-purchases-for-spring#post-2184325 Sun, 04 Apr 2021 14:19:18 +0000 lyn67 2184325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, those jeans!!!!

I will keep both items. </p> <p>The blouse is a bit of a worry in terms of layering over, as Liesbeth pointed out. But I like it and I don’t need my closet to be all workhorses. </p> <p>I wanted to add more pink to my wardrobe and the pink sweater top fits the bill as long as it looks okay. Love the color. </p> <p>I’m so glad to have finally found a raincoat. It has a cute lining, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-purchases-for-spring#post-2184259 Sun, 04 Apr 2021 01:58:49 +0000 Jaime 2184259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are the green trench, white jeans and pink top.

I might have to copy you on the raincoat as I’ve been looking for non black as well. I’d vote keep the polka dots and the pink.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-purchases-for-spring#post-2184244 Sat, 03 Apr 2021 22:13:01 +0000 Cardiff girl 2184244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How nice to have some fab new pieces going into spring.l paticularly like the raincoat on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-purchases-for-spring#post-2184236 Sat, 03 Apr 2021 21:14:08 +0000 Irina 2184236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great new additions, my favorite is #3.

I like the polka dot top a lot; the sleeves do not seem like too much to my eye. The pink top is a really pretty colour on you, and I don't think it looks overly fluid, just a nice relaxed fit, which seems to be the way everything is moving these days. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-purchases-for-spring#post-2184224 Sat, 03 Apr 2021 18:57:39 +0000 Anonymous 2184224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great group of new items! I’m especially partial to the white jeans and striped sweater outfit. I like the subtle flare on the jeans.<br /> The polka dot top looks good to my eye. But if the sleeves bother you, send it back. There’ll be a better one along soon enough! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-purchases-for-spring#post-2184213 Sat, 03 Apr 2021 18:02:03 +0000 Mirjana 2184213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great new pieces!

Teal!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-purchases-for-spring#post-2184201 Sat, 03 Apr 2021 17:04:26 +0000 Liesbeth 2184201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great new pieces. I especially like the raincoat, such a cheerful color.<br /> The pink top is a great shade for you and looks like an ideal layering piece for under a blazer.<br /> I really like the polka dot top too, especially the sleeves ;). But you will know best if you would wear it. Harder to layer over and will probably require ironing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-purchases-for-spring#post-2184197 Sat, 03 Apr 2021 16:30:10 +0000 slim cat 2184197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab new pieces! Love the rain coat ( great color ), striped sweater and &nbsp;Boden dress&nbsp;especially! The pink top looks good to my eye, and jeans fit well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-purchases-for-spring#post-2184195 Sat, 03 Apr 2021 16:28:36 +0000 notsaf 2184195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that raincoat and the striped sweater is gorgeous on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-purchases-for-spring#post-2184194 Sat, 03 Apr 2021 16:14:51 +0000 Christina F. 2184194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve been shopping a bit with a few keepers.</p> <p>I think I found one of my HEWI’s - a non-lightweight raincoat that’s not black or navy (or some color I can’t or won’t wear). This green one from J Crew fits the bill. </p> <p>I also got some new jeans that are straight leg and actually look it on me—most straight legs look more like skinnies. The length is neither here nor there - i’ve had this problem a lot lately but haven’t bothered taking anything to the tailor during the pandemic. Cropped jeans would actually be more of a problem at home right now, since we keep the place on the colder side. </p> <p>The sweatshirt is a bit big in the sleeves but that’s actually good - it’s easier to layer under that way and mostly for very casual wear, around the house. </p> <p>The white jeans replace the tight ones I just passed on. The striped sweater is fun and has already been worn a couple of times. </p> <p>Boden dress - very cute and comfortable. Too cold for it now though. </p> <p>I am unsure about two of the items:</p> <p>Pink top - should I size down? It seems fluid but not in an intentional way, if that makes sense? </p> <p>Polka dot top - I expected this to be a knit rather than woven item. I like it, though, but I am a little concerned that the sleeves are too exuberant on me. It’s a nice length for my short torso, which is rare. </p>
