Highly recommended. They know their stuff and can point you to the best brands and styles for your body in a variety of price ranges.<br /> Summer handbags I use most are satchels ( medium sized) in black and white ( I like black handles and bottom for practical reasons) and silver/pewter metallic. I tend toward larger bags for summer these days in order to carry a jacket or cardi for air conditioning, meds with blue ice packet, a bottle of water, and sun glasses; sometimes a visor or cap too. You should consider what you want to carry. My list is what I add in summer in addition to the usual billfold, keys, folded bag, tissue packet, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springsummer-purse-a-wiggle-and-a-hop#post-1793990 Mon, 03 Apr 2017 02:12:38 +0000 Bonnie 1793990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie always advises getting fitted for a bra first and I think she's right. I enjoyed your bra fitting story and next time I'm near Nordstrom (90 miles away) I vow to just do it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springsummer-purse-a-wiggle-and-a-hop#post-1793869 Sun, 02 Apr 2017 19:33:57 +0000 LACeleste 1793869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loved your story Faith! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springsummer-purse-a-wiggle-and-a-hop#post-1793860 Sun, 02 Apr 2017 18:20:42 +0000 Barbara Diane 1793860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a wonderful start! Keep on keeping on. And style is a journey, not a destination. I learned this watching Angie change up her look over the years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springsummer-purse-a-wiggle-and-a-hop#post-1793852 Sun, 02 Apr 2017 17:55:35 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1793852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry that I don't have a lot to offer on handbag choices - I am not very knowledgeable on that one, but know that you will get lots of help from Angie and others! I just wanted to say that I am so happy for your great experience finding a bra. What a wonderful place to start. I'm also excited for you on your style journey - this is the place to be for support and advice along the way. Everyone will walk with you and cheer you on as you go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springsummer-purse-a-wiggle-and-a-hop#post-1793838 Sun, 02 Apr 2017 16:55:40 +0000 Faith 1793838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm headed to NYC on Tuesday and at the top of my list is a purse for spring &amp; summer, I'm not shy about investing some money into one and I'm looking for some recommendations? I'm thinking shoulder bag or smaller? No cross body. I also wanted to quickly share a story, I'm struggling to dress myself, it's a struggle for me after wearing a uniform for half my life and skating by on "passable if I stand in a corner all night" for the other half, it's a process. One thing I did yesterday was get fitted for a bra at Nordstrom. Amira was the sales person who helped me and she was literally what I imagine Zsa Zsa Gabor with a Marilyn Monroe chaser to be, proud of her femininity, proud to have a womanly shape and proud to dress it! She made an awkward process manageable and at the end showed me how to put my bra on with a wiggle and a hop which is just shimmying yourself into the cups while bent over and then giving a little hop while standing up, I could have cried she was so fabulous. I just wanted to thank everyone on this blog for the inspiration! Even though I usually lurk, reading all the blog and forum posts have been super helpful for a clothing misfit like me! </p>
