Love that print. I find pants very hard to fit so hard to order online unless it's a repeat and even then sometimes doesn't work. Sorry you returned the gold cardigan but you know your own needs better than we do! Good for you staying focused.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swing-and-a-miss#post-2145129 Mon, 21 Sep 2020 13:12:58 +0000 Minaminu 2145129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes certain things are not meant to be, I am sure you will find better alternatives soon.

I like the print on the blouse too. Too bad about the fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swing-and-a-miss#post-2144926 Sat, 19 Sep 2020 17:02:07 +0000 nemosmom 2144926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, poo!&nbsp; The print on the blouse is SO pretty, and all these pieces looked perfect.&nbsp; Good on you for being picky and patient!&nbsp; I really admire how carefully you consider each piece. What else do you have your eye on? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swing-and-a-miss#post-2144925 Sat, 19 Sep 2020 16:31:29 +0000 Anonymous 2144925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That *is* too bad. The 3 pieces would have been good together too. &nbsp;I'm headed out right now in fact to look for a cardigan that isn't black . &nbsp;Looking for olive or even a wacky stripe.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swing-and-a-miss#post-2144924 Sat, 19 Sep 2020 16:18:33 +0000 Jenn 2144924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had pretty good luck shopping online this year, but I made a flurry of orders recently to get my winter closet in order, and have had a lot of disappointments.</p> <p>Here's what's going back so far:</p> <p><i>Eddie Bauer Cityscape Ankle Pants</i> - I've had good luck with Eddie Bauer pants in the past, so I thought these would be a no-brainer, but the slim cut was not for me, despite them being labeled a "slightly curvy" fit. While the waist was fine, I could barely squeeze my thighs in.<br />(<b>Angie,&nbsp;</b>when I went back to the site to process the return, I saw that Eddie Bauer is doing a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.eddiebauer.com/p/H4000606/eddie-bauer-x-sub-pop-flannel-shirt?sp=1&amp;color=Barn%20Red&amp;cm_re=homepage_1_OB_P_subpop_200916">collab with SubPop</a> for flannel shirts! Soooooo Seattle. I love it, and thought you'd be amused, even if they're a bit TOO grunge for your aesthetic.)</p> <p><i>Amour Vert Amy blouse -&nbsp;</i>I've been wanting to try one of these Amy blouses FOREVER, and their new fabrication is a viscose that's supposed to feel like silk, but be easier to care for. It...sort of feels like silk, I guess? More like a Georgette than the soft silk I was anticipating. I might have kept it, though, if the upper arms weren't tight on me. No size up.</p> <p><i>Garnet Hill lantern&nbsp;sleeve cardigan&nbsp;<b></b></i>- Talked extensively about this in my <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/decision-time-kr">other thread</a>. It's a really lovely sweater and I almost kept it.</p> <p>I'm a little sad that none of these worked out, but so it goes. I'm most disappointed about the blouse, because I really liked the print! </p>
