The pink makes me happy too:-) Shame that you no longer have the stores, but finding the brand at the garden centre is fab (and unexpected indeed). I've got some really nice things from Esprit the last three years, so definitely worth keeping an eye on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shorts-surprise#post-2266417 Tue, 07 Jun 2022 16:48:16 +0000 RobinF 2266417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice shorts, love the blue linen. I like to have shorts that work with bathing suits, easy to wear and be beach- or pool-ready. I haven't been doing much shopping lately and when I do it seems like I return most. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shorts-surprise#post-2266385 Tue, 07 Jun 2022 13:17:03 +0000 BlueJay 2266385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b></b></p> <b><br /> </b> <p><b></b>Thanks Inge, Rachylou, Carla, Angie, and Jaime. Happy to make everyone laugh! :)<b></b></p> <b><br /> </b> <p><b>Inge</b>, those pants look fantastic! I especially love the pink. Esprit stores used to be in Canada and I enjoyed shopping there. Unfortunately, the Esprit website won't even ship here. However, I stumbled across Esprit clothing at a garden centre (of all places)! I will stalk their website for more surprises.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Carla</b>, I love your funnel neck sweater because it was a surprise, but also a navy workhorse. I'll have to try the No Bull sneakers. I love that you threw them in the wash! That's a great surprise! I want to wash my mostly white Skechers, but I'm worried they'll fall apart.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shorts-surprise#post-2266338 Tue, 07 Jun 2022 01:39:40 +0000 Jaime 2266338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great finds and great line about the camping shorts! I have been lucky finding cotton prints, which have turned into my go to tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shorts-surprise#post-2266325 Tue, 07 Jun 2022 00:26:01 +0000 Angie 2266325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Retail can surprise us sometimes - and just like that! We find the right thing when we aren't looking for it. Glad you found fab pairs of shorts,<b> Blue Jay</b>!&nbsp;</p> <p>Dead, right. I like the orange pair best! The denim a close second. And fab match of bathing costume and shorts. Enjoy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shorts-surprise#post-2266324 Tue, 07 Jun 2022 00:20:51 +0000 Angie 2266324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>".......weeded out three pairs that I was holding on for "camping" even though we don't camp'.....</p> <p>HAHAHAH :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shorts-surprise#post-2266321 Mon, 06 Jun 2022 23:56:21 +0000 Carla 2266321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Spring has been a little on the cool side, or at least it cools down quite a bit around supper time. &nbsp;I keep grabbing a cheapie ($15.00) cotton knit funnel neck sweater I picked up last month, to throw over whatever short sleeved top isn’t warm enough for the evening. &nbsp;I even wore it to yoga one cool rainy day. &nbsp;</p> <p><div><br /></div><div>A new backup Tilley hat is edging out it’s khaki predecessor as the hat of choice for outdoor activities.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>&nbsp;Though picked up last summer, I continue to be impressed by the comfort of the NoBull sneakers I lemminged when Toban posted about them. &nbsp;The black ones have become my go to gym sneakers since I returned to the gym, but the lilac florals are my favourite walking shoe. I put them through the wash after a week of marathon gardening and they look brand new!<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shorts-surprise#post-2266298 Mon, 06 Jun 2022 19:36:11 +0000 rachylou 2266298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute! You made me laugh too re camping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shorts-surprise#post-2266294 Mon, 06 Jun 2022 19:19:27 +0000 Inge 2266294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Oh what excellent finds, BlueJay! I'm loving all the colours (fun bathing suit too) and your "<i>I was holding on for "camping" even though we don't camp</i>" made me laugh:-) <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I've been loving the two pairs of Esprit linen trousers I got a little while ago. Good quality, the linen doesn't crease a crazy amount, and the new shorter full length works perfectly with all my footwear.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shorts-surprise#post-2266290 Mon, 06 Jun 2022 18:35:58 +0000 BlueJay 2266290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been trying to find dresses this summer, but without much luck: too pouffy, tiered, too long, etc, etc. However, I have had luck with shorts, which is a great surprise!! Purchased four pairs this year and weeded out three pairs that I was holding on for "camping" even though we don't camp. (What was I thinking?) Out they go! I don't know why finding shorts in the past has been difficult, but this is perhaps the summer of the short! I am pleasantly surprised.</p> <p>All these shorts are pull-on styles. Perfect for WFH, and then popping out to run errands after work without having to change. They're all practical, can be machine washed, worn on the weekend, and mixed and matched with lots of other colours. I love the bright blue because they're such a great cobalt colour. They&nbsp;<i>almost </i>matched a blazer to make a suit, but it does match a bathing suit so I would like to duplicate the blue so I can pull it over my bathing suit without worrying the chlorine will fade the colour.</p> <p>The orange, although looking perhaps like a wild card, will be worn many times, because I love orange with blues, teal, black, white, navy, and pinks. The orange will provide a sizzling summer addition to my summer wardrobe. (I'm sure Angie with her love of orange would agree.) ;)</p> <p>Pale blue, linen, will go with nearly anything. The jean shorts I was going to cut shorter, but I might leave them.&nbsp;</p> <p>Are there any items that have been pleasant surprises for you this spring or summer? </p>
