I’m usually not wowed by them for me but I’d wear those. They look excellent for your wardrobe colors. I love your camo leggings &amp; white denim. I’ve been wearing a lot of camo prints again and treating them like a neutral. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-challenge-june-july-and-august#post-2058216 Thu, 05 Sep 2019 13:59:31 +0000 Anonymous 2058216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those new pieces will probably be workhorses for you. I am looking for a few HEWIs and to replace tops and jackets that are too short and pants that are skinny and low rise with wider high rise. I do not want my wardrobe to get bigger. I replaced some worn out summer footwear and still want to replace some cashmere sweaters but have not yet found the colors I want in what looks like a good quality., so not much shopping going on this summer. I did buy a couple pair of higher rise jeans but am not sure they are any better than what I have, and a HEWI white summer dress but it is probably going back. I need to do a styling lab for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-challenge-june-july-and-august#post-2058192 Thu, 05 Sep 2019 12:29:49 +0000 Style Fan 2058192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Notsaf, I do almost all my shopping at B &amp; M.&nbsp; The only time I do online shopping is when I am in Florida for extended periods of time.&nbsp; I have limited options for online right now.&nbsp; Maybe that will change. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-challenge-june-july-and-august#post-2058187 Thu, 05 Sep 2019 12:02:23 +0000 notsaf 2058187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice finds and great planning!
