Your Autumn style evolution has started :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recruiting-people-to-help-me-with-a-huge-favour#post-79233 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 14:55:46 +0000 Michelle 79233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie: sure on the pullovers, love them. Scarves I have a hard time wearing. I'm always worried they're drawing attention to my bust. Irony is I have a decent assortment of them...I'll have to get advice from you ladies about how to make the most of them. With that all said, I'd certainly take a peak at any really outstanding-looking options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recruiting-people-to-help-me-with-a-huge-favour#post-79043 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 22:58:08 +0000 Angie 79043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful list, Michelle! How about scarves and pullovers? Could be fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recruiting-people-to-help-me-with-a-huge-favour#post-78986 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 17:10:06 +0000 cciele 78986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great list, Michelle! I'm not sure I will be able to get into the store on Friday, but I'll let you know if I find anything online that might work for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recruiting-people-to-help-me-with-a-huge-favour#post-78982 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 16:56:21 +0000 Michelle 78982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Inga and Sinead, for volunteering too!! With so many eyes out, there won't be too much onus on one person! </p> <p>Ok, here is a list of things that may turn up through the Nas. Some items from my fall/winter list will be purchased in person, so don't make it on here:</p> <p>Long, wide-calf boots where calves measure at least 17 inches for a size 10 (hellpful for Toronto winters. Would like a pair of low-heeled burgundy ones for every day and higher-heeled pair in black to swank up dresses<br /> etc.<br /> Dark-wash, boot-cut David Kahn jeans (they do make them in plus sizes. I'm probably an 18, but will double check)<br /> Pair of patterned or textured pants (microchecks, maybe)? Colour uncertain.<br /> Winter day dress (never had one, but think it would be great for work. Flexible on colour)<br /> Sweet pea top (about time I had one. Would prefer a v-neck or something similar. Flexible on colour/pattern so long as it's pretty and versatile).<br /> Jackets: only have one long-sleeved black jacket that will work for winter. Obviously at least one more will be needed.<br /> Denim skirt<br /> Cardigans in pretty colours<br /> Tops: would love a couple of cute ones. wrap-tops, maybe? Am flexible here about style and colour.<br /> Stylish black purse (I'm thinking either snakeskin or quilted chanel-esque pattern, but welcome suggestions from the more fashion-forward.</p> <p>If this list is absurdly demanding, please speak up and I'll pair it back!<br /> You're all wonderful, ladies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recruiting-people-to-help-me-with-a-huge-favour#post-78972 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 16:05:38 +0000 Inge 78972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's another volunteer. I'm too far away to go irl shopping (aaaah I wish we could hit the NAS together), but I can definitely help you look on-line for items on your list. It will be fun, I'll be able to "attend" the NAS after all;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recruiting-people-to-help-me-with-a-huge-favour#post-78971 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 16:04:17 +0000 sinead 78971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just read your post about coat shopping, so even if you have that covered, I'd be happy to check on other stuff in the store. Good luck with coats! I love finding a great one! Makes me feel good every time I put it on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recruiting-people-to-help-me-with-a-huge-favour#post-78954 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 15:33:22 +0000 sinead 78954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, I'd be happy to help if you need anymore helpers. I was going to go on Friday specifically to look for a coat (the one purchase I'm allowing myself) if I can find a great one at an affordable price. So I"d be happy to scope those out if that is on your list- or anything else you need. Just let me know. It would be fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recruiting-people-to-help-me-with-a-huge-favour#post-78936 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 13:50:46 +0000 Angie 78936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the info, Michelle. You are a lovely tall lass! </p> <p>I am very busy on NAS day #1. Have several app’s with clients that day, but if Laura and Sarah can get started, I’ll chime in a little later. </p> <p>I think the shipping rate is actually quite good. Perhaps I’m just used to Euro prices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recruiting-people-to-help-me-with-a-huge-favour#post-78839 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 00:31:07 +0000 Michelle 78839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yea for everyone being so fabulous!!<br /> Angie/Sarah/Laura: thanks for being willing to help me with stuff. I'll be back later to post a list of things I'm looking for that the sale may deliver (it'll be an abbreviated version of the list on the winter planning thread). Sadly I'm afraid we'll have to look through the plus section to find stuff. Angie, I'm 5-8, usually take a 1x or 16 in tops. Bottoms are an 18 at the moment. Dresses also 1x/16.<br /> Brianna: I found out the shipping rate for you. It's $35 flat fee, plus duties and taxes. Definitely a bit steep, but I'm not totally surprised by it. Too bad you can't get to Seattle and scope the goods in person! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recruiting-people-to-help-me-with-a-huge-favour#post-78814 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 20:52:25 +0000 Angie 78814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Dance! It would be my pleasure :0).</p> <p>Remind me of the sizes you usually wear, Michelle? And what is your height? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recruiting-people-to-help-me-with-a-huge-favour#post-78785 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 19:28:30 +0000 Laura 78785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, I've seen a fairly wide range of things at the pre-sale. I'd be happy to help you too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recruiting-people-to-help-me-with-a-huge-favour#post-78777 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 18:10:47 +0000 Ariadne 78777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, do you know how much shipping will actually cost to Canada? I'm curious b/c I may order some things too, but ONLY if shipping is reasonable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recruiting-people-to-help-me-with-a-huge-favour#post-78775 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 18:07:47 +0000 Ariadne 78775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, do you know how much shipping will actually cost to Canada? I'm curious b/c I may order some things too, but ONLY if shipping is reasonable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recruiting-people-to-help-me-with-a-huge-favour#post-78761 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 17:24:29 +0000 Sarah 78761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have seen a few of the items on the online catalog. They have a broader assortment of items. Would you like me to check those for you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recruiting-people-to-help-me-with-a-huge-favour#post-78760 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 17:23:42 +0000 Sarah 78760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It shows up on Friday at midnight PST. I wish I could get to the store early that day, but I have responsibilities. Hopefully someone is able to check them out for you! I'm not a cardholder so I don't get to do the pre-sale. I'm definitely reconsidering that, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recruiting-people-to-help-me-with-a-huge-favour#post-78759 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 17:21:39 +0000 Michelle 78759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh thank you, Sarah! Actually I was thinking more along the lines of helping me decide on a few items before the sale kicks off so I can then order them... Or does the sale merchandise not show up on the site until Saturday? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recruiting-people-to-help-me-with-a-huge-favour#post-78758 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 17:15:16 +0000 Sarah 78758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm game, Michelle! I won't be able to go to the store, but I will be at the computer here at work (with plenty of down time) by 7am PST.<br /> Just let me know if that would even be helpful and I'll do my best! I'm sure there are others who have seen the merchandise in person already, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recruiting-people-to-help-me-with-a-huge-favour#post-78754 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 17:05:05 +0000 Michelle 78754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I've done some research, and NAS purchases *can* be delivered to Canada so long as I place the order by phone!! I still have to find out if merchandise currently labelled as "pick up in store" is eligible for delivery come sale time, but that comes later.<br /> So now that I can take part in some of the NAS goodness, I'm afraid I'm going to ask you guys an enormous favour. Could you help me find a few nice things? Obviously I'll provide details and be as specific as I can, but I wanted to see if this task would prove too onerus before I started posting wishlists and getting all excited. </p>
