It didn't look tight to me at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sept-14-running-errands#post-26174 Tue, 16 Sep 2008 01:25:26 +0000 shiny 26174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianne - I'll let you know as soon as they arrive - got the notice they've been shipped!</p> <p>I'd say they fit similar to the Citizens Amber's, but with a straight leg instead of a bootcut. And they do feel a "smidge" looser/higher in the waist. That part might be the fluke .... </p> <p>I have read that with mass-manufacturing, there's always slight differences ... due to the way the material is cut (they pile the fabric up and make one cut, so the top piece matches the pattern but the bottom piece is a smidgen larger... ) so it pays to try on all the jeans in the same size and brand that the store carries. This is what bugs me about ordering online - you can't try on! But I'm crossing my fingers.... </p> <p>Patience, the coach bag ... don't remember the style! I bought it last winter. It's medium size. I can take a close-up shot if you want to see if you can score one on ebay. Let me know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sept-14-running-errands#post-26136 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 21:50:33 +0000 Anonymous 26136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute top on you. You look wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sept-14-running-errands#post-26134 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 21:46:44 +0000 shell 26134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i thought i'd responded to this one, but it looks like i forgot to just wanted to say you do look fabulous! i adore the shoes with that outfit. i think the shirt is a definite keeper if it fits you well and you feel comfortable in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sept-14-running-errands#post-26105 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 16:22:51 +0000 naf 26105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you look great </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sept-14-running-errands#post-26101 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 16:04:38 +0000 Patience 26101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! I particularly like the shoes too but really everything works together *so* well.</p> <p>BTW-- which coach bag do you have? It always looks so good on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sept-14-running-errands#post-26098 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 15:59:45 +0000 marianne 26098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Shiny! That's what I meant - if the fit is the same as other Citizens. I've tried their Ava style and I thought it was better for a curvier person, but I figured you must have got a different style. When you get the second pair, could you let me know if the rise is the same? I might try ordering from Revolve because I haven't seen that style around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sept-14-running-errands#post-26066 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 12:59:03 +0000 shiny 26066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianne, they are the Citizens Elson high rise in Big Sur. I am not sure what "true to size" really means when it comes to jeans, but if you are familiar with Citizens, then yes, they run true to size for that brand. I take a 25 in them. </p> <p>I just ordered a second pair in Dark Paris (from revolve clothing) because I've been wearing them constantly -too constantly to even find time to wash them. And they are soooo comfy. The revolve site worried me because the rise listing for the Big Sur was 8" and for the Dark Paris it was listed as 7.5. I don't know why they'd be different rises in different colors! </p> <p>The pair I have measures 8" which is actually lower than I like... but somehow these work and are comfy around the waist. I hope I didn't get a "fluke" pair though and the duplicates I just ordered fit just as well!</p> <p>Susan - the shoes are me-too's that I bought at DSW last year. I love them, but I wish they didn't have the gold buckle, because I'm finding that limiting. For example, I'd love to wear red flats with a silver top.... but these won't work because the gold buckle clashes. Otherwise, I'm a huge fan of me-too's because you can walk all day in them. I had to size up 1/2 size - but I have to do that for *all* my ballet flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sept-14-running-errands#post-26057 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 12:04:09 +0000 susan 26057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You always look so cute! Where did you get those shoes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sept-14-running-errands#post-26056 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 12:02:28 +0000 Nicole 26056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Def not too tight looking. I know what you mean though about shirts that have no give to them. I don't even bother trying on clothes that have no stretch--I find them too uncomfortable and no matter how nice they looked, they'd never get worn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sept-14-running-errands#post-26039 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 06:07:18 +0000 Angie 26039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sept-14-running-errands#post-26021 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 03:16:23 +0000 marianne 26021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny, I agree with everyone - I think it fits great and you look sharp as usual!</p> <p>One question about the jeans - are these the straight leg Citizens you posted before? Would you say they fit true to size? They look awesome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sept-14-running-errands#post-26014 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 02:40:35 +0000 Ellen 26014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me it looks as though it fits perfectly - and it's such a classy top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sept-14-running-errands#post-26013 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 02:39:10 +0000 anne 26013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like it fits wonderfully Shiny! Makes me want to try that style of top too - but I think I may not have enough bust! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sept-14-running-errands#post-26012 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 02:36:51 +0000 Lori 26012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny - it doesn't look too tight to me! Outfit looks great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sept-14-running-errands#post-26010 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 02:26:04 +0000 Taffy 26010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks like it fits great. And there's no truer test to me than if you can make it through a sticky, humid day in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sept-14-running-errands#post-26009 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 02:21:08 +0000 shiny 26009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Continuing to try to wear things I didn't wear much (or, in this case, at all) this summer, before summer is completely gone. Day was 73, humid, and gloomy with spritzes of rain. </p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26254981@N05/2858433332/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/2.....858433332/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26254981@N05/2857603221/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/2.....otostream/</a></p> <p>My only explanation for why I didn't wear this top yet is that everytime I'd put it on, it felt a bit tight and constrictive in shoulders and waist, so I'd switch out last-minute for something more comfy. </p> <p>The material has zero stretch in it, and it didn't improve much during the day today (running errands with DD14 - no shopping for me; lots of shopping for her). It wasn't so bad and I got used to it. I also think I lost some weight effortlessly in Paris, and then I've been so busy since we returned, I may have lost a tad more too. Which helps. </p> <p>What do you think? Does it look too tight? </p>
