Makes me think I should keep a more open mind about sourcing my own weird wardrobe....</p> <p>And oh yes, I too will be eyeing that peacoat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-good-surprises#post-2329273 Thu, 06 Jul 2023 21:01:14 +0000 Ginger 2329273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope it works for both of us, Janet! I struggle to put teal with denim so that's one of the unknowns with styling a pea coat.</p> <p>Carla, they had some really pretty pieces in that color this year! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-good-surprises#post-2329267 Thu, 06 Jul 2023 20:22:24 +0000 Janet 2329267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As a teal fan, I’m eyeing that pea coat too — I haven’t had a good pea coat in a long time! They’re tough for me because double-breasted styles are not easy on the busty, and the length tends to be a bit neither-here-nor-there on me. Hope it works for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-good-surprises#post-2329242 Thu, 06 Jul 2023 15:39:43 +0000 Carla 2329242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good eye,&nbsp;<b>Ginger</b>! &nbsp;Love the idea of white cowboy boots and the teal pieces are giving me the wantsies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-good-surprises#post-2329239 Thu, 06 Jul 2023 14:49:40 +0000 Ginger 2329239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Y'all are really talking me into the cowboy boots!&nbsp;<b>Roberta</b>, I agree that the DL reviews are both a bummer and helpful. The Dolce Vita is a good brand, so I'm not opposed to trying if I know they'll get use.</p> <p>I'm feeling all the dark teal love, too. I ordered a couple of the Emmy Design cardigans in similar shades just a few days ago. Really looking forward to leaning into that color this fall.</p> <p>Thanks for the shoe rec,&nbsp;<b>Angie</b>. I'm not sure if roomy will help; I have a very low-volume, high-arched Roman foot. It's more the angle of the point, plus the fit of the shoe keeping my foot from sliding downhill and cramming my toes in the point. I can't size up much because my feet just slide around.</p> <p>I saw that lacey Halogen sweater, too! I tried to think of how I could use it, but I can't think of a setting where I won't be either hot or cold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-good-surprises#post-2329228 Thu, 06 Jul 2023 12:23:12 +0000 RobinF 2329228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are nice! Love the teal and the cowboy boots would be so fun!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-good-surprises#post-2329214 Thu, 06 Jul 2023 10:33:39 +0000 Olive Green 2329214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cowboy boots are fab, especially in that white or cream.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-good-surprises#post-2329184 Thu, 06 Jul 2023 02:46:09 +0000 Kyle 2329184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh! I’m in love with that French Connection turtleneck. The color and style are perfect!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-good-surprises#post-2329174 Thu, 06 Jul 2023 01:45:36 +0000 Anonymous 2329174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love white footwear. The teal will be lovely on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-good-surprises#post-2329162 Thu, 06 Jul 2023 01:18:22 +0000 Suz 2329162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh,&nbsp; Ginger -- those teal items could be amazing on you if the fit it right! I'm excited to see them on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have had good luck with Naturalizer shoes this year and am crossing my fingers for those pumps, as well. Fun white boots, too!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-good-surprises#post-2329154 Thu, 06 Jul 2023 00:47:28 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2329154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see all these items on you, Ginger. I really like that dress with the boots, and all the teal items. I can imagine how that particular shade of teal you describe would be gorgeous on you. The Dolce Vita western boots caught my eye--I love that subtle tone-on-tone look of the appliqué design. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-good-surprises#post-2329149 Wed, 05 Jul 2023 23:49:57 +0000 Angie 2329149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go Team White Footwear, and super fun cowboy boots :)</p> <p>This reminds me of you too!&nbsp;</p> <p>Btw, this black slingback is not on the NAS, but comfy, and has worked well on clients who don't typically like pointy toes! ROOMY.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-good-surprises#post-2329145 Wed, 05 Jul 2023 23:14:21 +0000 Roberta 2329145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That peacoat is an unusual and wonderful color! I have two peacoats and get a LOT of wear out of them. They're just the right length for a crisp or outright cold day, and look so dashing with a bright scarf.&nbsp;</p> <p>Bummer about the Dirty Laundry boot reviews, but that is kind of a bonus given that the Anniversary Sale items usually don't have any reviews at all. I really like how tall the DL boots are. I feel like the "scoop" at the top of the Monikka boot is too exaggerated, so why not try the Dolce Vita?&nbsp; The savings is substantial, and it's a good brand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-good-surprises#post-2329142 Wed, 05 Jul 2023 22:58:44 +0000 kkards 2329142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The white cowboy boots- either pair, although the &nbsp;cream are pretty cool as well. And the teal pieces are a lovely color&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-good-surprises#post-2329141 Wed, 05 Jul 2023 22:27:17 +0000 Ginger 2329141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wasn't looking for anything in particular, but I browsed the usual categories and found some things I'm rather excited to try. <ul> <li>Green FP crop top. This length should actually be right at the waistband of a skirt. I love the color and the way the fit looks.</li> <li>Open Edit coral cropped bouclé jacket. This is a wild card, since it looks pretty boxy, but it does seem short enough to float over waistbands. I'm going to be very picky about color and fit on this. If it works, it will be a more dressy piece to go with several winter skirts.</li> <li>Eliza J teal floral dress. I have tan suede tall boots like the model picture and love how the color is picked up in the floral. It may be shorter than I like, but still worth a try.</li> <li>Caslon light teal t-shirt. I like these for layering pieces with skirts and cardigans. I'm full up on pastels but this is a great mid-tone color.</li> <li>French Connection dark teal sweater. This may be a duplicate with similarly colored tops, but I'll try it anyway. The wide midriff design is terrific for my shape and can be either tucked or not.</li> <li>Sam Edelman teal pea coat. I don't technically need this but it looks a pretty classic cut, barely mostly wool, and great color.</li> </ul> Note! Most of my life I've really avoided aqua, turquoise, and teal. Usually those colors are too bright/clear/jewel tone for me, and I have a hard time putting them in outfits. But last year I ended up with a couple of blue pieces that just had a hint of green - obvious only when next to something truly blue - and I fell in love. They make my eyes really stand out. Finds are at the end, another Prairie Underground hoodie and a Boden top. The top is great with both golden-brown and gray skirts. So now I'm on the lookout for more in this color family.</p> <p>The shoes are a lot more questionable, but I want to try at least a few of them.</p> <p>Black pumps -&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't really have a favorite black pump at the moment, but I need to have something, especially for choir. My feet are fussy and usually my toe/foot silhouette hates pointy toes, so it's hard to find something really comfortable. <ul> <li>Sanctuary knit pump.&nbsp; There's a possibility the knit material may have some toe box give that will work with my toes.</li> <li>Naturalizer Evelyn pump. This is one elegant shoe! I <i>love&nbsp;</i>those curves. Ankle straps help keep my foot in the right place, and the heel is a good height.</li> </ul> White/light cowboy boots - Totally not a need but I love white footwear, and I would definitely use cowboy boots.&nbsp; <ul> <li>Dirty Laundry - not great reviews but the price is worth trying.</li> <li>BP Monikka - the measurements look promising; they're fabric so won't come apart but make it harder to keep clean.</li> <li>Dolce Vita - more expensive and not white, so it's a long shot in case I really fall in love with the look and just must have.</li> </ul> <br />Here's hoping everything I'm interested in doesn't sell out before I can buy!&nbsp; </p>
