I'll post pictures of it when it arrives. I hope it's a cooler beige color, with maybe a slight rose hue.<br /> Do not get me started on spring footwear. I have wishlists galore full of those! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ss-2011-trends-and-the-january-sales#post-278927 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 03:46:30 +0000 Melissa 278927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, Sarah: Permission! But I admit it's partly selfish, because I would love to know what that color actually looks like irl. It's hard to say from the photo what color "iron" really is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ss-2011-trends-and-the-january-sales#post-278764 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 23:26:56 +0000 Angie 278764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deal, Julie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ss-2011-trends-and-the-january-sales#post-278749 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 22:07:18 +0000 Dawn 278749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That Warehouse blouse is on my S/S list, or it will be once it goes on sale. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ss-2011-trends-and-the-january-sales#post-278731 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 21:36:35 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 278731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Polly - I am perfectly happy to hunt things out for you!</p> <p>Not on sale, but can someone please buy this...<a href="http://www.asos.com/Warehouse/Warehouse-Silk-Swallow-Print-Blouse/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=1508530&#038;cid=11318&#038;sh=0&#038;pge=0&#038;pgesize=20&#038;sort=-1&#038;clr=Multi" rel="nofollow">http://www.asos.com/Warehouse/.....;clr=Multi</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ss-2011-trends-and-the-january-sales#post-278669 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 20:18:22 +0000 RoseandJoan 278669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, the jacket is just gorgeous, great find and a fab price.

It also inspired me to find new ways to wear last Spring's items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ss-2011-trends-and-the-january-sales#post-278635 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 19:45:37 +0000 Angie 278635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. Thanks for actioning my blog post, Julie! The skirt looks lovely and the necklace is something I want to steal but just couldn't because your special Ben grave it to you. It's beautiful and will look fab with the shell. </p> <p>The only item that I bought in the sale is a lavender oversized banded pullover (sweater) by Tory Burch - which I have already worn to death! Also bought Gap's Long &amp; Leans - stay tuned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ss-2011-trends-and-the-january-sales#post-278594 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 17:43:28 +0000 RoseandJoan 278594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Four pairs of shoes Dawn, that's a great haul. </p> <p>Rute, you are on the ball.</p> <p>Polly, of course I will let you know of any bargains I find.</p> <p>Tanya, do you finish SYC soon?</p> <p>Laura, I really hope it fits too, I guess the cotton may be too heavy for most spring climates, but not mine (fingers crossed) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ss-2011-trends-and-the-january-sales#post-278223 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 00:03:36 +0000 Dawn 278223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I love that skirt, Julie! I was too late to properly shop the sales this year but I did manage to add 4 pairs of leather shoes to my collection for under €100. Bargain!</p> <p>I think I will wait until March or April before tackling the Spring trends. Hopefully I will manage a wardrobe cull before then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ss-2011-trends-and-the-january-sales#post-278201 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 23:21:50 +0000 Tanya 278201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would totally do that if I wasn't doing SYC! Love your purchases, and the necklace is gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ss-2011-trends-and-the-january-sales#post-278180 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 22:53:37 +0000 rute 278180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always think first of the trends for next spring (and even next fall because we have already the pre-fall collections) before sale shopping. I want pieces that will last but I want trendy pieces! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ss-2011-trends-and-the-january-sales#post-278170 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 22:48:10 +0000 Laura 278170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope the skirt fits, too - it looks so springy that I'm really surprised it was in Boden's fall line. Good find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ss-2011-trends-and-the-january-sales#post-278169 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 22:47:06 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 278169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely necklace! And very you. The Boden skirt looks great too.</p> <p>I know what you mean and I am certainly going to be on the lookout. I've bought a lot (for me) though in the last year or so, so will be looking out for cheaper things and accessories etc. Please keep us updated; I rely on you, Louise and Fi primarily to alert me to UK fashion finds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ss-2011-trends-and-the-january-sales#post-278112 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 21:35:43 +0000 RoseandJoan 278112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Teri - I like your thinking.<br /> Scarlet - thank you, Ben will be pleased.<br /> Kim - there is probably wisdom in waiting, perhaps I'm more likely to order because I mostly shop online? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ss-2011-trends-and-the-january-sales#post-278039 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 20:17:53 +0000 Queen Mum 278039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've learned to wait a while. When I try to shop too early in the season, I get frustrated not able to find all the great new stuff that is supposed to be out there. If I wait until March or April (or even May), there will be more of a variety.<br /> Plus, my UPS man just delivered the last of my "winter" shopping this morning... a few new sweaters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ss-2011-trends-and-the-january-sales#post-278032 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 20:04:39 +0000 Scarlet 278032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not shopping, but oooh, what a pretty necklace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ss-2011-trends-and-the-january-sales#post-277998 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 19:17:15 +0000 teri 277998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>well due to the pantone color trend report, I bought some lavender today.<br /> <a href="http://www.fashiontrendsetter.com/content/color_trends/2010/Pantone-Fashion-Color-Report-Spring-2011.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.fashiontrendsetter......-2011.html</a></p> <p>I am excited that white will be in since I just got a white jean jacket </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ss-2011-trends-and-the-january-sales#post-277994 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 19:14:10 +0000 RoseandJoan 277994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hands up, how many of you will judge your recent sales purchases or head to the nearest store/ website to hunt down the latest trends based on Angie's blog today?<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2011/01/10/25-trends-for-spring-2011/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2011/01/.....ring-2011/</a><br /> I recently read through Vogue's spring trend guide and then ordered two sales items<br /> <a href="http://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion/trends/" rel="nofollow">http://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion/trends/</a><br /> The first is this boden skirt, which taps into the a-line trend as well as brights<br /> <a href="http://www.boden.co.uk/en-GB/Clearance/Womens-Skirts/Above-Knee-Skirts/WG373/Womens-Relaxed-Casual-Skirt.html?NavGroupID=13" rel="nofollow">http://www.boden.co.uk/en-GB/C.....GroupID=13</a><br /> I plan to wear the skirt with grey hose through the rest of winter before adding white and turquoise/ lavender through Edinburgh's mild summers. I think this could be a good buy (hope it fits)</p> <p>The second purchase probably goes against the trend guides. Ben surprised me with the pearl necklace below and I wanted a simple modern top to highlight the necklace. I know the tank will go with jeans and charcoal/ black bottoms plus Chanel's S/S was laden with charcoal pieces but I will still probably return this item for something more on trend. Shallow? Fickle? I will let you decide.</p> <p>So over to you, did you shop the sales with transitioning to spring in mind? Has this led to orphans in the past? Do you prefer to shop for the here and now? </p>
