I have boots that ae tolerable but I have barely worn them because I don't like skinny jeans. But... If they were stretchy sleek comfortable knit pants I bet I would like them a lot more.</p> <p>Yay! Now just to find my perfect pair! And tops to wear with them... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rrr-returns-reap-rewards#post-1017294 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 22:42:33 +0000 rae 1017294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, must investigate the B44 ish dress. Great girl math!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rrr-returns-reap-rewards#post-1017276 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 22:18:07 +0000 Caro in Oz 1017276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it when I return something that isn't perfect &amp; find something I <b>really </b>love, nothing like rewarding good behaviour </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rrr-returns-reap-rewards#post-1017266 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 22:06:44 +0000 Anonymous 1017266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You had a phenomenal shopping day!

PPP! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rrr-returns-reap-rewards#post-1017099 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 18:22:12 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1017099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz - I'm totally the WRONG person to ask if you have shopping coming to me.....we all know I have a problem - lol!</p> <p>lyn - why couldn't I have studied girl math in school??? I would have gotten much better grades! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rrr-returns-reap-rewards#post-1017096 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 18:20:15 +0000 lyn* 1017096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome! I love girl math like this, and especially having money towards something really really awesome later on! :3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rrr-returns-reap-rewards#post-1017095 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 18:17:22 +0000 Suz 1017095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that sounds great, Shannon. We got a Bay flyer today with some lovely stuff including some coupons for early in September. So maybe I will go take a peek (online, in my case) and see what I can find.&nbsp;</p> <p>And yes, the girl math makes sense to me. I just returned boots, and 4 things from J. Crew that weren't right...surely I have some shopping coming to me, too, right? Right.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rrr-returns-reap-rewards#post-1017092 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 18:11:41 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1017092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I boxed up and sent back the two Zara silk blouses on the way to work this morning and then went on my lunch break and returned the Jeanne Beker blouse and the NYDJ Megan jeggings. It felt reaallllly good!</p> <p>One of my issues with the NYDJ jeggings was the rise - it was just too high for my body type, even though I am high waisted. The waist just hit in the wrong spot and I kept wanting to either pull them up or slide them down.&nbsp;I do still want a pair of ponte knit slim pants for tucking into boots and wearing with long sweaters like my Eileen Fisher charcoal sweater. So I stopped quickly to look in the Lord &amp; Taylor petite section after making my returns. I have a pair of Lord &amp; Taylor black pants (made into slouchy pants by Wonder Woman), a L&amp;T animal print merino wool cardigan and my striped voluminous L&amp;T wool sweater. I love the brand, quality and fit for me. Well lo and behold...they had lovely mid weight skinny ponte pants in petite (just put out today apparently). I tried them on and they were PERFECT. The waist is a bit lower than the NYDJ jeggings and in my sweet spot - no muffin top and no sliding down. They have nice wide belt loops for someone who wants to semi tuck and some seam detailing on the inner calf to look a bit like equestrian riding pants. And they were only $59! Sorry no pics - I didn't have my phone with me and they aren't on The Bay website to show you. But they came home with me and I couldn't be more thrilled.</p> <p>Then I had a peek at the INC petite section and they had a fabulous Bailey 44 type dress in black/cobalt/white - the fabric is heavier than the Bailey 44 version and when I tried it on, didn't show a single lump or bump. In fact, I prefer the fit and fabrication of this one to the much more pricey Bailey version.&nbsp;At $89, it also came home with me.&nbsp;</p> <p>So doing the girl math, I still ended up with $254 returned to my account! I couldn't be happier with my new items and will wear them to death - I can already see the dress with all sorts of my toppers and footwear. And to stick with my budget, the dress will be in place of one pair of work trousers.</p> <p>I'm also noticing a fall and winter color palette in my wardrobe that is primarily black, cobalt, white and grey - LOVING IT!!!</p> <p>Thanks for listening to my rambling... </p>
