Looks like you had fun shopping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-spree-and-stripes-overload#post-1565519 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 02:53:59 +0000 Maneera 1565519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're damn right, Suz. It most definitely helped my resolve! All of a sudden, shopping is no longer a mindless activity for me. I enjoyed browsing a lot, but i only wanted to buy something that I knew:</p> <p>1) Will add value to my wardrobe, full that it is already<br /> 2) Will be worn and enjoyed immediately </p> <p>I've been enjoying dressing casually a lot this month, and i didn't want to buy anything that felt fussy. I have far too many dressy clothes....don't need any more. </p> <p>The boat neck tee is actually a Bardot neck and designed to rest off the shoulders. It definitely needs a strapless bra (I usually wear mine with a transparent halter neck strap) but avoid these bras as much as possible. They simply don't offer the support I need and can only be worn for short periods of time. And why would I buy a tshirt I can only wear for short periods of time? I really really love that top too....it's extremely flattering....just impractical for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-spree-and-stripes-overload#post-1565403 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 22:23:51 +0000 Suz 1565403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That first shirt is fantastic on you. And the tees will be really useful as well. I loved the boatneck one on &nbsp;you but if you can't wear it practically, I guess it is a no go. You did brilliantly to let the other stuff go. I wonder if the month off shopping helped your resolve. Do you think so?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-spree-and-stripes-overload#post-1565397 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 22:02:19 +0000 Aida 1565397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good job on the bra hunt! I have a feeling the fading on the chambray shirt is less noticeable in person. The shirt looks great on you! I also love the boatneck tee on you, that's a remarkable neckline on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-spree-and-stripes-overload#post-1565377 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 20:55:35 +0000 Carole 1565377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Liked what you picked, Maneera! I like the different color stripe T's and the chambray shirt is very feminine and flattering! I love that you were able to walk away from some of the other pieces, such discipline! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-spree-and-stripes-overload#post-1565357 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 20:01:15 +0000 Jenn 1565357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chambray and stripes are some of my favorites, so yay for those! That boatneck version looks amazing on you, too, but I hear you on the bra issues. I rule out any pieces that would force me to buy a special bra, especially for everyday... an evening gown might be a different matter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-spree-and-stripes-overload#post-1565321 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 18:15:14 +0000 Maneera 1565321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know what you mean Ankita. I didn't notice that before! </p> <p>Oh well, I didn't notice it while I had the shirt on so I hope it's not going to bother me. If it does - a pretty scarf to the rescue!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-spree-and-stripes-overload#post-1565285 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 17:06:41 +0000 Ankita 1565285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to be the horrible one and say I'm not a fan of the chambray shirt... didnt notice earlier when you sent me pictures, but here I can see those 2 faded patches just around the chest area that I don't like... otherwise a total winner :)<br /> So glad you left the booties and jacket... I do love live love #3 on you though.<br /> Awesome wine stripey tee! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-spree-and-stripes-overload#post-1565266 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 16:20:02 +0000 Anonymous 1565266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One can never have enough stripes.

Great finds here </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-spree-and-stripes-overload#post-1565265 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 16:17:17 +0000 celia 1565265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the new chambray shirt.<br /> Good job just bringing what really suits you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-spree-and-stripes-overload#post-1565233 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 15:04:58 +0000 shedev 1565233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the chambray top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-spree-and-stripes-overload#post-1565232 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 15:04:13 +0000 Maneera 1565232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie! </p> <p>Stephanie, my fingers and toes are crossed for you! I like the shirt too. For me, waist definition is imperative coz I wear a size 36E bra. My shirts and most woven tops almost always need alterations, or they fall down from my bust like a tent! It's why I prefer knits....they fall into the body. But a well fitting bra is A MUST with knits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-spree-and-stripes-overload#post-1565213 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 14:22:05 +0000 Stephanie 1565213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't even need to comment on the bra shopping...you already know how I feel about that! I'm happy you were able to find some great bras. Keep your fingers crossed for me.</p> <p>That chambray top looks phenomenal on you. It is SO flattering. I have a chambray top now that I like, but don't love. I really like how yours offers some waist definition..that's what I need to find. Love your striped tops </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-spree-and-stripes-overload#post-1565179 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 13:57:17 +0000 Angie 1565179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first shirt and striped tee are my best - #1 and #3. Flattering.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-spree-and-stripes-overload#post-1565151 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 12:34:23 +0000 Ginger 1565151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That chambray shirt looks really good. And with the tuxedo front, too. Love the stripes as well! Good for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-spree-and-stripes-overload#post-1565146 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 12:18:24 +0000 Anonymous 1565146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hehe! So fun to see all the change room pics and the ones that got away! </p> <p>I love the chambray shirt! And I know you were after striped tops, so you did brilliantly. Well done on getting the bras too...I hate bra shopping as well :(</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-spree-and-stripes-overload#post-1565145 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 12:15:10 +0000 Word Lily 1565145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you had success on your main goal and found some fun things, too!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-spree-and-stripes-overload#post-1565143 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 12:11:43 +0000 Maneera 1565143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went shopping today because I needed to buy new bras. Ugh....always a painful task for me! In any case, I persevered and tried designs one after the other and finally bought 5 new bras. They all fit great! Mission accomplished! </p> <p>And since September is over, I thought I'll shop a bit too! I'm sharing dressing room pictures here - just for fun </p> <p>I tried on many things that didn't click....and a few that did! </p> <p>Showcasing here:</p> <p>1) Chambray shirt. I didn't have any so I bought this one. </p> <p>2) A Bardot style tee with stripes. Loved it....but it would require a strapless bra and I gave up! </p> <p>3) A striped dress. Sorry - I tried it over my jeans! It was such a cute sailor dress But I didn't buy this either. I have helmet hair here! *chuckle*</p> <p>4) Weird burgundy booties with a patterned heel. Tried just for fun! </p> <p>5) A black jacket. I liked the fit but didn't love the finish. I left it....so proud of that! </p> <p> 6) This is what came home - 3 new striped tees! I love the wine tshirt on the extreme right....it's mega cute!</p> <p>ETA: Already wearing the wine striped tee! </p>
