I chose black to make a column of color and it fits perfectly. Just what I need for my cooler climate.

I’m starting to crave color. A sweater like the COS or Treasure and Bond may be my first purchase after this hiatus. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reviews-feb-springsummer-keepreturns/page/2#post-2010271 Wed, 06 Mar 2019 15:09:37 +0000 Janet 2010271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>See, this is why YLF can be dangerous. I start to think, “ooh, spring shopping” and then remember that I DO NOT NEED ANYTHING FOR SPRING because our spring is so fleeting here and I already own too much transitional-season clothing. The reality is that if I am looking ahead, I need to be looking ahead to *summer* dressing — perhaps a couple of new casual sleeveless and short-sleeved tops, and a new casual summer dress or two. I will need some new shorts this year as well, and this is the absolute worst time to be thinking of shorts (pasty-white, out of shape legs), so I will live in denial for a while longer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reviews-feb-springsummer-keepreturns/page/2#post-2010268 Wed, 06 Mar 2019 14:49:43 +0000 Angie 2010268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <i></i><b>Mntsofthemoon</b><i></i>, we like the same colours so HIGH FIVE :)</p> <p><b>Nemosmon</b>, good to know.

I have not begun any kind of spring shopping but I expect to start looking soon. I don't know yet what my needs might be -- I expect I will need some lighter weight knits and possibly a topper for the milder weather here. And I'm definitely in the market for a fantastic waterproof coat.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reviews-feb-springsummer-keepreturns/page/2#post-2010054 Tue, 05 Mar 2019 16:06:58 +0000 Cardiff girl 2010054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bad luck on the Boden crops,I am tempted by these but the lack of stretch in the fabric is putting me off.Love your colour palette for the red trousers that make the grade. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reviews-feb-springsummer-keepreturns/page/2#post-2010053 Tue, 05 Mar 2019 16:05:57 +0000 Anonymous 2010053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful keepers that will work well in your wardrobe. The watermelon sweater is tempting but I have a similar colored wool sweater dress.

Stick to that.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Kathie</b>, I think they run TTS, actually. Maybe a little bit? Order tow sizes.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>bj111</b>, YES, if you order a petite. Habitual can fit me well too, and it’s a pity that these jeans don’t.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Adrianna</b>, good strategy. <div><br /></div><div><b>Bijou</b>, all on order! Thank you for always being lovely.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Suntiger</b>, whatever makes you happy :)</div><div><br /></div><div><b>April</b>, I didn’t think the waist of the Katherine dress was too high - it’s empire-ish. Looks good.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Anchie</b>, NAVY, of course!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Smittie,</b>&nbsp;the rigid La Coste type polo shirt collars pop really well. The knitted COS collar is too floppy to pop. COS stuff is often too oversized for my small frame, but every so often I do REALLY well. This keeps me coming back. Here are my COS items. I love their crisp integrity and quality:&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reviews-feb-springsummer-keepreturns/page/2#post-2010038 Tue, 05 Mar 2019 13:04:44 +0000 anchie 2010038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can bet that everything that you got look amazing on you, hope you share some pictures with us. I am trying to sit on my hands until April, but I am tempted by your Boden finds. Is the dark color in your new cobalt dress navy or black? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reviews-feb-springsummer-keepreturns/page/2#post-2010035 Tue, 05 Mar 2019 12:53:25 +0000 April 2010035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You color-loving thing, you.&nbsp; :)&nbsp; These are so Angie.</p> <p>The Boden Katherine dress is lovely; so sorry it didn't work for you.&nbsp; What did you think of the fit?&nbsp; One of the reviews mentions that the waist is too high. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reviews-feb-springsummer-keepreturns#post-2010023 Tue, 05 Mar 2019 12:15:55 +0000 Bijou 2010023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some beautiful additions to your wardrobe. I REALLY hope the KM skirt is a winner, because that looks so perfect for you.

They always help, although different body shape. I follow your lead in starting early. If we get another year with months of summer weather I want to be prepaired. I am looking for wide legged cropped/ culottes trousers, dresses and flowy tops that keep you covered but are interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reviews-feb-springsummer-keepreturns#post-2009979 Tue, 05 Mar 2019 03:21:00 +0000 bj1111 2009979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A friend of my sister’s designs and manufactures habitual. I’ll pass on your feedback about the weird fit. They have odd fit models. Of course the fit is perfect for my sister. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reviews-feb-springsummer-keepreturns#post-2009978 Tue, 05 Mar 2019 03:18:05 +0000 bj1111 2009978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Salivating over the Boden pants. Do you think it would be good for a petite pear? Looking for something between a wide leg and a palazzo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reviews-feb-springsummer-keepreturns#post-2009976 Tue, 05 Mar 2019 02:52:17 +0000 Kathie 2009976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Quick question- the Boden Hambledon pants seem to run a size (or maybe more) large, based on the garment measurements. Does that fit with your experience, since you were sized out? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reviews-feb-springsummer-keepreturns#post-2009975 Tue, 05 Mar 2019 02:50:05 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2009975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh. Such detailed reviews. I like the blue polo. And those red jeans (I have a pair of red l’agence on order already) come in a fascinating turquoise green. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reviews-feb-springsummer-keepreturns#post-2009973 Tue, 05 Mar 2019 02:29:19 +0000 delurked 2009973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some bright pieces for your spring. Hope the yellow and skirt work out too. </p> <p>I considered the green Boden dress. I’m also trying to be practical and focus on some less dressy dresses that fit my life better. I did wonder about the Boden Jersey midi you’re keeping, but I couldn’t decide if I like the hemline or not for me. And I’m trying to rein myself in a bit. Glad to see it worked for you though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reviews-feb-springsummer-keepreturns#post-2009972 Tue, 05 Mar 2019 02:27:54 +0000 cherylm 2009972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ladies - if you are looking for the AG jeans and can’t find them on the Nordstrom website - try the AG website. I was able to find my size there. <a href="https://www.agjeans.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.agjeans.com</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reviews-feb-springsummer-keepreturns#post-2009966 Tue, 05 Mar 2019 02:13:15 +0000 smittie 2009966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for this additional round up!<br /> What is the COS sizing like?<br /> At the risk of sounding like the popped collar guy: can you pop the collar on the tennis shirt? (Probably not, but just checking!)<br /> The treasure and bond pull over looks excellent. </p>
