The top is nearly identical to the one you showed today. Is that the Mink Pink one?</p> <p>Cocolion - thanks. I don't have a black a -line, but I have a couple of black stretchy skirts and a grey straight one, maybe a blue straight one. I will try them all with the sheer blouse</p> <p>Lynne - thanks for the insight into the dress. I'll hold off altering for the moment</p> <p>Jen - Thanks!I am wearing wedge sandals in no 3. Were you thinking of something different?</p> <p>Stringy - I'll trying pinning the halter and see what you all think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-trip#post-284615 Sun, 23 Jan 2011 04:37:10 +0000 stringy 284615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all great! I particularly like the shirt dress. If the halter neck is bugging you, I think it'd be worth altering as it's otherwise perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-trip#post-284365 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 15:41:15 +0000 jen321 284365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You found some great items! Have you ever tried wedge sandals? I think they would look great with some of those figure flattering dresses! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-trip#post-284303 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 13:22:54 +0000 Lynne 284303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are lovely, and the halter dress is my favourite. The light blue tshirt is lovely with your blonde hair - well done! I don't think you need to alter the shirt dress, they do tend to bubble a bit and all you need to do is pull up the blousing above the belt now and then. Having said that, if you wanted to stitch some shallow darts down the back it will give it more shape - up to you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-trip#post-284294 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 11:30:19 +0000 CocoLion 284294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the bubblehem! but I agree it might be sleeker w/ cropped leggings. Also I like 2, 5,6,7. Do you have a black A-line skirt? If so it would look beautiful as a dressier (or not) option for the sheer blouse. So sexy! I am impressed that you look so great for $160. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-trip#post-284288 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 10:13:47 +0000 Theresa 284288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GREAT haul Anne!!!</p> <p>It must be nice to be shopping in the city with a few more options than usual!!</p> <p>Your striped Target top is very similar to my Mink Pink top and its been a very useful this summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-trip#post-284250 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 06:11:13 +0000 Christie 284250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, you look so good. I love the shirt dress especially. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-trip#post-284244 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 05:49:42 +0000 anne 284244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kyle and Medusa.

Absolutely killer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-trip#post-284120 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 01:04:21 +0000 Kyle 284120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you are stunning in number 2 and 3. Your haircut has transformed you and showcases how beautiful you are. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-trip#post-284116 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 00:56:24 +0000 anne 284116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Angie, what a lovely surprise to get that! The improvement is mostly due to you, you know! ( I dreamed I was going to go shopping with you the other night!)</p> <p>Evie, Thanks! - I have worn 6 7 and also 1 and 2 and 3 already! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-trip#post-283864 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 16:11:16 +0000 Angie 283864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, I have never seen you look SO good. Your style has evolved in leaps and bounds and I am so proud of you. </p> <p>Fabulous haul! You get a KILLER rating for the lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-trip#post-283845 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 15:34:05 +0000 Evie 283845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #6 and #7 on you. You know it's a keeper if you want to wear it right away! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-trip#post-283796 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 14:14:46 +0000 anne 283796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Teri. I haven't heard of these. I am very small breasted, barely an A cup, but after 3 babies a bit on the saggy side and like the added padding of bras! But I can see they would help with the bra issues! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-trip#post-283794 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 14:06:58 +0000 teri 283794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the dresses are sooo cute on you.<br /> May I suggest getting some "petals" to wear under your dresses to avoid the bra issues. I wear these all the time with summer dresses<br /> <a href="http://www.target.com/Fashion-Forms-Disposable-Petal-Pair/dp/B003P4K0MG/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&#038;keywords=petal_bras&#038;searchSize=30&#038;searchView=grid5&#038;searchNodeID=1038576%7C1287991011&#038;searchPage=1&#038;fromGsearch=true&#038;sr=1-6&#038;qid=1295618705&#038;rh=&#038;searchBinNameList=subjectbin%2Cprice%2Ctarget_com_primary_color-bin%2Ctarget_com_size-bin%2Ctarget_com_brand-bin&#038;searchRank=target104545&#038;frombrowse=0" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/Fashion-.....ombrowse=0</a></p> <p>these work great to cover, but they give no support, so if you are large breasted I wouldn't suggest them alone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-trip#post-283788 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 13:49:19 +0000 anne 283788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rute - yes I think ! is supposed to be a dress. Maybe leggings would look better with it</p> <p>I am almost wishing I hadn't bought 2. (though thanks for the approval QM) I have to pull it so tight around the neck to avoid showing my bra that it cuts in around my neck and armpits. I am thinking of converting the straps to normal shoulder straps</p> <p>Rute, I agree on length of 5 - Maybe it is a candidate for tucking. Hope this won't become an orphan top as I am not sure I have a skirt to wear with it.</p> <p>QM - the bubble hem was something I really liked about it (My sewing would be up to rehemming it, however) I have wanted a bubble hem since Angie showed her wearing one <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2010/03/03/denim-shirt-ensemble-bubble-dress/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2010/03/.....ble-dress/</a><br /> I know the outfit doesn't really hide my pear tendencies but is the bubble that bad? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-trip#post-283783 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 13:26:27 +0000 Queen Mum 283783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great haul Anne! I especially love #2 on you... so flattering!<br /> Do you sew at all? my first thought was to cut the bubble hem off of #1. I love the neckline. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-trip#post-283768 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 09:19:18 +0000 rute 283768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love 3 and 7!!!!<br /> For 3, I would go for another shoes!<br /> 1 seems a bit long to wear with shorts, but the neckline is lovely!<br /> I like 2, not a 10.. but I would give a 9..<br /> The blouse on 5 is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But too short for pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-trip#post-283749 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 06:10:50 +0000 anne 283749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On Saturday I went for my first shopping trip in about 6 months and spent my summer budget in one day! (only went over about $10 of my $150 budget, I think, and also bought some gear , which I didn't include in this budget)</p> <p>1. Tunic (sold as dress) - an impulse buy. bubble hem. Temt outlet<br /> 2. Halter neck dress. I am least sure about this as I am finding the neck tie a little uncomfortable - but the tags are off so I am keeping it. Target Sale<br /> 3. A black poplin shirtdress. Much more expensive than the rest (it was reduced to $50) I love love love this and hope it will be part of my wardrobe for years. The belt actually fits at my natural waist, which is a rarity. I feel it is really flattering though don't know if the photo backs this up. Only thing is it is SO similar to what my Mum wore in the 70s! Jacqui R<br /> 4. It bags a little under the belt at the back, above my bottom. I am not sure how well the photo captures this and if I should try to take it in.<br /> 5. ruffled tartan sheer blouse (should be worn with a cami, unlike here. Probably too short for pants. Temt outlet<br /> 6. ruched sleeve t shirt with blue and white stripes Target Sale<br /> 7. tshirt fabric dress very cheap and so comfy. Bought thinking of wearing around the house and to the beach/pool but have already worn sightseeing and to lunch! Temt outlet </p>
