I have the same jacket, love that it is as comfortable as a cardigan but looks a little more polished. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-purchases#post-2066266 Fri, 04 Oct 2019 10:03:10 +0000 Style Fan 2066266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The trench coat looks fabulous.&nbsp; Glad your kitty is safe and well.&nbsp; Your purchases look very cohesive and will work well together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-purchases#post-2066258 Fri, 04 Oct 2019 07:47:24 +0000 Anonymous 2066258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your plaid coat is fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-purchases#post-2066254 Fri, 04 Oct 2019 07:39:43 +0000 notsaf 2066254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all!&nbsp;</p> <p>CardiffGirl and Shevia: glad you like the combo!</p> <p>Sarah: yes, I was thinking the same thing (about pairs) when looking at your autumn capsule this morning. You seem to have done the same with prints + cardis, right?</p> <p>Angie: Cross my heart, I will press the blouse before wearing! And yes, you are so kind to ask: the kitty arrived safely with us in London (after only the minor ordeal of waiting 6 hours for her to clear the animal center at Heathrow) and we're all settling in nicely! Will update with some wardrobe pics soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-purchases#post-2066232 Fri, 04 Oct 2019 02:55:11 +0000 Angie 2066232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sets are FABULOUS. Monogamous marriages work for a reason :)</p> <p>Your set is KILLER, and so is the Theory trench. All good things come to those who wait.</p> <p>*presses and straightens the white bow of the blouse*</p> <p>Are you and doggie in London yet?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-purchases#post-2066217 Fri, 04 Oct 2019 01:16:09 +0000 Jaime 2066217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very good point about sets being fab when you love them! This one looks great on you and why not wear your best combination instead of looking for variety! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-purchases#post-2066215 Fri, 04 Oct 2019 01:03:53 +0000 rachylou 2066215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sweet! An elegant collection of pieces! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-purchases#post-2066211 Fri, 04 Oct 2019 00:57:58 +0000 SarahD8 2066211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done on finding so many workhorses and breaking out of the buy-return cycle!</p> <p>I like your thinking on the blazer and blouse. If you are happy to repeat outfits (and there is no reason not to be...just a matter of personal preference), then a pair of items that go perfectly with each other and only each other are no less useful than items that could be remixed more extensively.</p> <p>I did the same thing with a pair of flat silver slides last summer -- bought them at season's end and wore them on repeat -- high five! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-purchases#post-2066181 Thu, 03 Oct 2019 20:24:57 +0000 Cardiff girl 2066181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blazer and blouse do indeed look fab together and I m glad that you ve managed to track down your perfect trench. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-purchases#post-2066175 Thu, 03 Oct 2019 20:08:13 +0000 notsaf 2066175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I picked up quite a few pieces this month for fall/winter, and have yet to wear many because I'm only now in the cold weather. These center around an outwear refresh (three pieces!) and workwear (five!). The silver sandals are a holdover from my end-of-season wish list, spotted on sale and worn on repeat during the last weeks of summer.</p> <p>The rest of these were purchased at brick and mortar stores and, since I've been tracking these things, I made MANY fewer returns this month than I had previously: basically everything I selected in a store that came home with me stayed home. That certainly is a sign that I'm shopping more confidently, which I think is a huge win!</p> <p>This is also the first time I've ever purchased a top and blazer as a set: they look great together, and I think that's how I'll wear them. A bit like the trouser + shoes equations that the rest of you have been exploring. In the past, I might have thought of this blazer as too "specific," because it only looks good (on me) with a bright white blouse; Angie has taught me that "sets" are ok, and even fab!</p> <p>Finally, the tale of the trench coat ends here, with this lovely black one from the Theory factory store. I only have a mediocre shot of it in the dressing room, but I promise the fit is spot on.</p> <p>As always, thanks for your feedback and for reading! </p>
