If I needed more than that, I think I'd pass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sometimes-the-old-fashion-way-is-best#post-1700977 Sun, 24 Jul 2016 01:14:36 +0000 Staysfit 1700977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kkards, glad you found the SW's in your size. I am toying around with stretching the pair I have that is a bit snug. I'm a little worried about doing it. What if it doesn't work or if it ruins the shoes so I can't return them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sometimes-the-old-fashion-way-is-best#post-1700961 Sun, 24 Jul 2016 00:50:07 +0000 marianna 1700961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those "meant to be" moments! Great choices here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sometimes-the-old-fashion-way-is-best#post-1700889 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 23:05:09 +0000 MsMaven 1700889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought the EF top in red brick--a little worried that it might be too bright or too orange, but it is great color and great fit. I like that it is so stretchy but not clingy.</p> <p>I too bought a couple of things in person that I wouldn't have bought online. Sometimes I just have to touch the fabric and get the feel of it, and then hold it up to the mirror before deciding to try it on.&nbsp;</p> <p>So glad you got the shoes--they are beautiful.&nbsp; </p> <p>Oh, and both times I went in the stores that jacket caught my eye. Tempted, but I already have an olive jacket that I wear a lot.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sometimes-the-old-fashion-way-is-best#post-1700885 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 23:02:35 +0000 carter 1700885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was meant to be! &nbsp;I love the feel and drape of the EF tee. I so wish it came in a V-neck, which is better suited to my shape. Love the army jacket. I must have missed the bomber jacket. Looking forward to the showdown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sometimes-the-old-fashion-way-is-best#post-1700873 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 22:51:36 +0000 Anonymous 1700873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I could go in person, I would.<br /> I think it would be so much easier.<br /> Not one anywhere near me though.<br /> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sometimes-the-old-fashion-way-is-best#post-1700863 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 22:37:49 +0000 kkards 1700863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Crazyone-- I usally end up having to order shoes, so I was completely surprised they had them. Sometimes the stars just align<br /> Suz, I took home the olive jacket, and I have a smaller size coming, so as soon as that arrives it's decision time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sometimes-the-old-fashion-way-is-best#post-1700857 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 22:27:28 +0000 Suz 1700857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like those Franco Sartos and have had good luck with comfort in that brand. So great about the SW pumps as well!&nbsp;</p> <p>The EF tee will be a workhorse, I'll bet. And yes, can't wait for a jacket showdown!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sometimes-the-old-fashion-way-is-best#post-1700856 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 22:22:57 +0000 crazyone 1700856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>kkards, that's funny, I went to a brick &amp; mortar Nordstrom today. &nbsp;I found it actually kind of confusing, though--much easier to browse by category online, and there was a lot of stock missing or never brought into the store in the first part. &nbsp;The whole concept of "departments" made it a little hard to navigate and find things that corresponded to Angie's picks. &nbsp;Now that I have the card, maybe I'll do an in-store preselect next year.</p> <p>Glad you got the right size of SW pumps! &nbsp;I actually wear a 5.5 or 6 and I don't ever buy shoes in person because they almost never have my size in store--I had the same experience today. &nbsp;I have the same Franco Sartos on order as well. &nbsp; The tee and jacket look nice, have you tried styling them?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sometimes-the-old-fashion-way-is-best#post-1700852 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 22:13:12 +0000 kkards 1700852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd been stalking the Nordies site since Thursday for the SW pumps in navy in my size. Said they where sold out....said my local store didn't even have that shoe In stock in any size....went upto the store today to return the size 6.5 that was to big, and to see if they could find any store that had a 6. Walked in, took a quick look around, and there they where...in a 6....like they where just waiting for me. The right foot is perfect, the left a smidge tight, but I'm sure I can stretch it.<br /> And while I was there, tried this top pick....which they didn't have in my size, but we ordered it. It's got a slightly preppie thing going on, but with such a modern nowness<br /> And I picked up this EF piece in black, because the fabric just felt so nice, and the drapeyness was wonderful.<br /> And this olive jacket found it's way into my bag as well....not sure if it's a keeper., but I was oddly attracted to it....need to have showdown with it &amp; the bomber jacket. </p>
