I especially love the striped tank and red purse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-purchases#post-507725 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 00:23:16 +0000 Katiepea 507725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are wonderful. I love red shoes! </p> <p>In fact, I loved my own pair of red shoes so much that they literally wore out and I'm patiently waiting for summer to be over so I can go and buy a new pair.</p> <p>Congratulations on graduating from the nappy bag phase too, BTW. I'm trying to recover from the shock that my "baby" starts school in just over a week. How on earth did time fly so fast?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-purchases#post-507642 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 23:45:26 +0000 anne 507642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the positive feedback!</p> <p>Diane - so we are body type twins!! How tall are you? I am 5"4. Have you posted any pictures yet? I will be sure to look out for them.</p> <p>Deborah - I did go to Target as well but didn't get anything there. We have a country Target in my town which I do pop into quite often, though the selection is not as good as the normal ones. And I have had success with the teen shops in the past. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-purchases#post-507575 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 23:16:50 +0000 Aida 507575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great purchases Anne! Love the cobalt on you, and the red handbag looks wonderful. Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-purchases#post-507559 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 23:04:45 +0000 Deborah 507559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great purchases Anne. I say keep checking out the teen shops as y never know what you might find. I struggle where I live and have to make trips to Melbourne to shop:) We have a good Target store here and I do shop there a bit, particularly for casual things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-purchases#post-507258 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 18:30:00 +0000 diane 507258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Our bodies are the same from the chin down! We could trade heads and nobody would know the difference!! Well, maybe close family members would.<br /> Anyway, I have found that length of pant to be perfect. You look great, Anne! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-purchases#post-507124 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 15:51:24 +0000 Angie 507124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All wonderful purchases, Anne! Enjoy them and feel beautiful </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-purchases#post-507123 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 15:49:39 +0000 Mo 507123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blue is awesome!! Some of my favorite casual purchases are from both Kmart and Walmart As for the teen clothes . . . I was/am in your boat with having a hard time finding other comparable places to shop as I approached 40. Locally, I have a discount chain here in Florida (Beall's Outlet) that carries all things from designers like DKNY to Target Mossimo and the Canadian Jacob brand. When I move back to California I always miss not having this store anymore. Do you have anything similar to TJ Maxx or Ross? Those are good places to still find a bargain but not have to get teen wear to do so. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-purchases#post-507070 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 14:45:02 +0000 Suz 507070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, you're looking wonderful! Great simple Ts and wonderful new bag! Wish I could advise about Australian shops to try. It is surprisingly difficult to shop for clothes that are neither too young nor too old. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-purchases#post-507068 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 14:40:13 +0000 missvee 507068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have to agree, that cobalt blue is so good on you. Make sure you add some more of that colour to your closet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-purchases#post-507053 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 14:20:59 +0000 Sara L. 507053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the red shoes and bag! The tees look like they will be very versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-purchases#post-507048 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 14:14:46 +0000 Jem 507048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You found some great purchases! I love the colors you got! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-purchases#post-507044 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 14:11:58 +0000 kimlee 507044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne - The shoes and bag are stunning. The color of both items is rich and will work great in your wardrobe. The two tees are just fab - the blue pops off your skin and the stripe showcases your great figure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-purchases#post-507036 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 13:55:59 +0000 anne 507036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lantana. I didn't know that sade of blue was called cobalt.</p> <p>I realise that I can fit the teen clothes, and perhaps carry it off, but I didnt end up buying anything from them despite spending hours waiting in the dressing room queues at Temt, Valley girl and Ally.<br /> I am not sure where else to go though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-purchases#post-507034 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 13:48:00 +0000 Lantana 507034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>great purchases, well done. those sandals and bag are a super colour that will work hard in your wardrobe. i love the cobalt blue with white, very yummy. nice stripy tee and i love the pants length on you . altogether fab. and with your svelte figure i think you can confidently keep hitting the teens shops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-purchases#post-507030 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 13:36:15 +0000 anne 507030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I returned recently from a trip to the city, mostly for Christmas/ family/ relaxing time but including an element of shopping.</p> <p>I braved the boxing day sale crowds, but apart from stocking up on necklaces bought only these sandals. Not bad for $40. (on sale at Williams the shoeman)<br /> Have come to the conclusion that I should stop, as a woman in my late thirties, going to the teen shops - but they have the bargains, and they carry my size.</p> <p>Anyway, later in the holiday I bought a new bag ($30 on sale at Strandbags) - my first for over 8 years and now I have given up on nappy (diaper) bags (actually I was using a backpack from a luggage shop, that can now revert to that purpose,)<br /> Then on the last day of holidays, I bought some sewing materials (results have or will be featured on other threads) and bought some absolute bargains at Kmart: a tankini top for $5 (not pictured!) a blue tshirt ($7) in a shade that I believe is flattering and was eager to get something in this season, and a striped tank (less than $10).<br /> Summer shopping should now be almost over. </p>
