You got out and about for some retail therapy. Good stuff. Very necessary for our ongoing heatwave. I love that first Madewell white shirt. Am wearing a Madewell top right now too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping#post-1515727 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 14:19:52 +0000 jackiec 1515727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great stuff, Anna. I hear you on the heat. I've been having quite a lot of success at Aritzia lately too. Didn't know they had vintage Levis. Cool.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping#post-1515723 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 14:17:01 +0000 Janet 1515723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad you found some things that work! I hear you on having to try lots of options and feeling dissatisfied. I'm glad I managed to find one new pair of shorts this year (Anthro), and that even though I picked up a bit of weight over the winter, most of my summer stuff from the last couple of years was roomy enough that it still works. I had great luck at Madewell for tops this year, so I'm glad you found something there as well. Good luck with the heat, and with the trip to your dad's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping#post-1515697 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 13:27:25 +0000 Elizabeth P 1515697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you!&nbsp; sounds like a bit of work, but some great pieces to get you through.&nbsp; Feeling discouraged every time you get dressed doesn't help anyone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping#post-1515690 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 13:09:42 +0000 Eliza 1515690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice options, Anna. Glad you did a bit of shopping; it makes a difference to have choices that work. Love the shorts and charcoal stripe top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping#post-1515677 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 12:26:43 +0000 lyn67 1515677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, nice haul Anna!

Having clothes that work on your current body is the most important thing. So glad you found some fun summer clothes that you like! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping#post-1515590 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 06:34:15 +0000 kellygirl 1515590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun haul! I can't wait to see you style these your way. The shorts from aritzia are exactly what DD had been looking for so thanks for the link! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping#post-1515581 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 05:46:33 +0000 SandyG 1515581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're going to look so good!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping#post-1515553 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 03:10:14 +0000 Carla 1515553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, sales up here were very good, but you really had to cull through the stuff. I spent 3 hours in Canada's (purportedly) second largest mall - 'Square One' while DS #2 went through some Pan Am volunteer training.</p> <p>I actually picked up 2 cropped sweaters to pair with my fuller skirts a la Angie outfit from last week, as well as a navy sweatshirt bomber with eyelet sleeves, and a pair of plain navy crops. Pretty classic stuff, but deeply discounted. </p> <p>I'm sure that in some kind of strange disconnect, F/W stuff will be put out as the heat wave rolls over Ontario! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping#post-1515548 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 02:53:49 +0000 unfrumped 1515548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That striped top is great!</p> <p>I am feeling the effects of a too- sedentary winter and had to set aside some pants and skirts. Haven't decided whether to toss completely but it was a great relief to get them out of the closet and not keep bashing into them. Even things that are just a smidge too snug can bum me out and make things worse. So you are right to keep up enough current things that fit well and are comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping#post-1515545 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 02:41:38 +0000 annagybe 1515545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I decided that I couldn't survive this very atypical extended heat wave in Seattle with only three pairs of shorts. It's going to be in the 90's most of this week. Plus I'm going home this week for Dad's birthday, where it's even hotter.<br />I called former forum member Amy for lunch and shopping. Pretty much all the stores were having sales.<br />We hit up Madewell first. Shorts were a bust there but found some good tops. Mixed striped and plaid button down. Striped linen tee. I tried the charcoal version, but found it scratchy. Also got plastic white strap Birkenstocks (find shows black version). Couldn't find online the short sleeve blue plaid button down that was on sale.&nbsp;<br />JCrew was a total bust, despite trying on lots of shorts. But yeah overall we weren't impressed with there offerings. The "fashion" stuff was on the strange side, but the classics weren't working either.<br />We also stopped at a local boutique called Mercer. I was too big for everything I tried on, which was pretty disheartening.<br />Aritzia was unexpectedly good. I found these vintage Levi shorts in the bleached wash. True vintage and it shows how sizing has changed. I got a size 14. I really liked the high rise.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://us.aritzia.com/product/cutoff-short/56435.html?dwvar_56435_color=1274#lastViewed=73&amp;start=5"><a href="http://us.aritzia.com/product/cutoff-short/56435.html?dwvar_56435_color=1274#lastViewed=73&#038;start" rel="nofollow">http://us.aritzia.com/product/.....#038;start</a>...</a><br />Also found a pair of short black silk shorts. I have a pair that used to be a workhorse, but now they're too small. So I was glad to find a new pair.<br />At Gap I got these striped shorts and the cut-off sweats.&nbsp;<br />I'm still not happy with my current size, but at least I now have stuff to wear. </p>
