I'm definitely going to plan to swing by the COS store in NYC when I am there for the conference in late Feb. I'll post some fitting room pics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-me-the-person-who-took-a-shopping-reprieve#post-1427522 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 16:01:40 +0000 catgirl 1427522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Viva, it runs big - I need an XS and that size is sold out. Sigh. Thanks for sharing the link to this site... I blame you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-me-the-person-who-took-a-shopping-reprieve#post-1427521 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 15:59:00 +0000 viva 1427521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Una, thank you for shopping! Hahaha. I am so happy to hear this rave review, especially about quality. The sale prices are fantastic! </p> <p>I'm so tempted by that citron sweater dress -- over leggings or slim pants or skinny jeans. But I have two citron sweaters already. Is that just too much citron? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-me-the-person-who-took-a-shopping-reprieve#post-1427416 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 12:05:55 +0000 Dimity 1427416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And COS has just opened a store in Melbourne, too! Just a quick hop, step and 1800km away...<br />I'll have to pop in next time I'm there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-me-the-person-who-took-a-shopping-reprieve#post-1427185 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 23:00:54 +0000 tulle 1427185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I must thank you for falling off the shopping-abstinence wagon! Checking the links to your COS picks, I found the twin of a dress I had 20 years ago, a much-loved, all-occasion Ann Taylor wool knit swing dress with long sleeves that was a boon to the pear-shaped. I snapped up the black version of your purple dress (which looks great on you, by the way) in spite of difficulties in placing the order (the site claimed my address doesn't exist, so I had to have the dress sent to another address.) I look forward to receiving it.&nbsp; The swingy sweater is another temptation; it looks wonderful with that bronzey skirt, both very chic on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-me-the-person-who-took-a-shopping-reprieve#post-1426630 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 23:05:13 +0000 Eliza 1426630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Appreciate the reviews and when I clicked on the citron dress I was excited for you. You wear that color so well, and it is the perfect antidote to a long winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-me-the-person-who-took-a-shopping-reprieve#post-1425848 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 18:28:36 +0000 catgirl 1425848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, didn't think about the IT thing but that could be why their clothing was so attractive to me! It's definitely a lot of looser cuts that hang well on shoulders. Don't see much that is bodycon or fussy looking, more clean lines and drape. They are worth a try if you like these fits - what I appreciate is the consistent style I see so far. I know Angie loves Club Monaco but I don't find their clothes work as well for my body type. :(</p> <p> The citron dress runs big - I can pull off the S but if there was an XS available I would size down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-me-the-person-who-took-a-shopping-reprieve#post-1425550 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 04:04:28 +0000 Janet 1425550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, can't wait to see them on you.

I've been looking though tops.</p> <p>I'm curious though...all the models look IT! I'm wondering if they are, or if it's the way they are standing, or if the styles are such that they broaden the shoulder line. That might mean the cuts are IT friendly, but I usually feel that if the model looks wide shouldered in something, I will look even more so.</p> <p>Thoughts on this, my fellow IT? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-me-the-person-who-took-a-shopping-reprieve#post-1425476 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 02:03:38 +0000 Anonymous 1425476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the citron sweater dress!
