The hat is shipped in a bag and came completely crushed.  I'd only buy in store.  Who ships a hat not in a box?? Well, my big over buying is whittling to a reasonable amount by attrition anyway.  Sigh.

I bet I'll dry clean at first and one day decide I am just going to try delicate machine wash and hang dry.  Aida, I did have some pairings in mind when I chose each of these.  Even though the blue was impulse and not pre planned, I have that color in other items and know it works.  Utmost in my mind was skinny pants, and my Vince leather in particular, with booties.   But half tucked into Leith track pants, tucked into skirts, with certain shorts . . . I have ideas! Still waiting on the blush and the hat.  minimalist on "Scratched the itch, but it was in a different place." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scratched-the-itch-but-it-was-in-a-different-place#post-1324441 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 03:29:47 +0000 minimalist 1324441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love those! Somehow Mo it makes me happy to see you shopping again. I've been shopping dutifully, but nothing so fresh and cheery as you're posting.

I love the blue shirt... Will you really dry clean it (I think you said you avoid dry clean shirts)? I know sometimes you can wash rayon in the washer on gentle but I never know when. I would like either the blue or white one.

These all look perfectly versatile, to dress casually in, toughen up when desired, or even to pair with something a bit dressier if needed. SUPER colors for you, and they can all be paired very nicely with both white and black along with blush. Clever, was this on purpose? I think you'll have enough fun playing around with these pieces to help curb any itch that pops up. Plus it'll give you a chance to really figure out if you're missing something that might bridge even more looks with them together. cheryl on "Scratched the itch, but it was in a different place." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scratched-the-itch-but-it-was-in-a-different-place#post-1323369 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 00:35:08 +0000 cheryl 1323369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh I love that purple top!

(by the way, the blue looks way better IRL - I would never have looked twice at it online by that pic) Otherwise, I am starting to get carried away.  I also have a black Costco Equipment-like top courtesy of Una. And since they are a bit out of season for me still, I really need to put on the brakes, as I won't know just how often I'll wear them for at least another month or two. The red random find dress and the blue blouse took the place of the white sundress I was contemplating.   The white shorts and blush blouse were on the list.   The hat has been a 'keep an eye out' since spring.   Time to chill out on the buying again :)
