But, once you find those pieces, it is so worth it! Also, I have found certain brands work better for me than others. Keep a mental note of those as it can really help in the future. For example, I love Talbots. Not trendy or "cool" but good quality and they fit me. I like J Crew, but they just aren't cut for my body shape. Makes it easier with time, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-frustration-1#post-942408 Mon, 27 May 2013 02:23:07 +0000 Peri 942408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! I will try hard to hang in, but shopping is really not my favorite sport! </p> <p>The pants really were a great thing to find...at least that's good. And the Loft Ts being fine but boring is telling me this...I'm ready for some FUN. I can be very casual and I lean to artsy, but not all the way boho because I feel like it wears me when I try...too much.</p> <p>Also on the requirement list is cool for our awful summers...and hot flashes...and behaving well laundry wise.</p> <p>What I feel is another challenge for me is my figure. I'm small but busty...32DD...and broad shouldered. I'm Very self conscious about this and reject everything that puts too much attention on "the girls". </p> <p>if I was your client Angie I think you would hate me! But I'm open to suggestions...both on styles and where to look.</p> <p>And Parsley...I never dry things!! Everything hangs except sheets and towels! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-frustration-1#post-942384 Mon, 27 May 2013 01:16:28 +0000 Angie 942384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I heard you, Suz! And am shouting it from the roof tops :)</p> <p>Don't worry, Peri! You're doing well. Really! It's not a race. How can we help you find the right stuff? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-frustration-1#post-942381 Mon, 27 May 2013 01:12:40 +0000 Suz 942381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shopping can really be hard work, it's true. But it does get easier over time. I am a poster child for that. I used to kick and scream instead of shop, and felt like a total loser at it. This year I've actually started to enjoy it! <i>Shhh, don't tell Angie!! :-)&nbsp;</i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-frustration-1#post-942367 Mon, 27 May 2013 00:52:19 +0000 Parsley 942367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What kind of tops are you looking for?</p> <p>As far as shrinking, maybe you need to avoid putting your tops in the dryer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-frustration-1#post-942366 Mon, 27 May 2013 00:51:28 +0000 Caro in Oz 942366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hang in there Peri Shopping can be very frustrating but then so is having lots of ho hum stuff in your wardrobe. Sounds like your pants are a big score. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-frustration-1#post-942364 Mon, 27 May 2013 00:46:42 +0000 Peri 942364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shrinking top has put me over the edge a little! Shopping is so frustrating...how does Angie do this for a living?!</p> <p>Since the big purge and vowing to update my closet this spring, I feel like I've been obsessed with shopping. I've gone at least once weekly and look online almost daily. Lots of buying, ordering, lots of returning. And here's what I have to show for it:</p> <p>Spring was decent...4 tops and a cardigan, like them all.</p> <p>Summer...trouble. 3 Loft T shirts which are kind of utilitarian. I will wear them but the happiness factor is middling. Three tops I really like. One I liked but will probably return due to the shrinking. Two great pairs of pants. </p> <p>That's it for almost two months of solid effort. Agh! This is hard! </p>
