You look really great in that longer, high neck dress in pic# 7, it falls very nicely on you. </p> <p>I too find going shopping finally allows me that opportunity to dress up a bit more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tales-from-the-dressing-room#post-2305121 Sun, 29 Jan 2023 11:37:39 +0000 Olive Green 2305121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I gotta say outfit in 2 was stellar.

I adore the denim dress and like the jacket too, hopefully it goes on sale as it looks like a very useful piece given your climate and the need to stay warm. The hats are so much fun, especially the deer stalker. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tales-from-the-dressing-room#post-2305098 Sun, 29 Jan 2023 09:02:18 +0000 jussie 2305098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all these outfits, but I’m especially fond of both dresses, and the cuffed up jeans.<br /> The shacket is good…. But I do wonder if it’s versatile enough in the long run. But who am I to say what your wardrobe needs are. Nice shopping outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tales-from-the-dressing-room#post-2305093 Sun, 29 Jan 2023 08:22:00 +0000 Cardiff girl 2305093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suntiger,thank you.l don’t know that song,l will have to go look it up now.<br />Jaime,thank you.l love a good hat.<br />Sal,,l always admire the way you wear dresses so thank you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tales-from-the-dressing-room#post-2305044 Sun, 29 Jan 2023 02:25:24 +0000 Sal 2305044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab here - pleased you can<br /> seize the moment to dress up.

I do feel very sorry about the energy crisis in the UK. Have failed to ask my sister how she is coping with it. Should ask!<br /> I totally love the shacket especially. Zoomed in to see if it’s houndstooth, one of my favourite patterns. Looks like it is? Always hard to know whether to pay a bit more. Only if you would wear it at home maybe?<br /> The old menswear store looks great. And love you in the deerstalker- detective chic indeed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tales-from-the-dressing-room#post-2304931 Sat, 28 Jan 2023 20:37:17 +0000 Cardiff girl 2304931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Slim cat,thank you.Yes l did get the denim dress.Shirtdress are usually ok on me as l am not really a dress person.Anthro is really expensive isn’t it,shouldn’t have gone in then wouldn’t have been tempted!<br />Indigoprint,thank you,l wish l had an occasion to sport a tricorn hat but sadly not!<br />Suz,thank you for those lovely comments.l really appreciate it.Yes the boots would go really well with a jacket like that wouldn’t they,just got to find one now.l really like the shacket,it was lovely and soft with pockets(!) and had it been even alittle less expensive l would not have hesitated but it’s a lot to pay for what is essentially a poly shirt so l am thinking hard on it.It needs slim bottoms l think but l am not sure l would wear it with leggings like l have here ,it’s abit short for that .<br />MsMaven,to be described as chic!Thank you,you have made my day.<br />Tanya,thank you so much.Yes those are all good questions to ask myself before l buy or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tales-from-the-dressing-room#post-2304923 Sat, 28 Jan 2023 20:20:34 +0000 Tanya 2304923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful all around!&nbsp; &nbsp;The shopping outfit is so chic and like Suz, I am wondering if you&nbsp; got any of those great looking dresses.&nbsp; The shacket looks great on you,&nbsp; so I for me it would be a matter how well it fits your style and how often you could wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tales-from-the-dressing-room#post-2304922 Sat, 28 Jan 2023 20:16:19 +0000 Irina 2304922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that dress in #5! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tales-from-the-dressing-room#post-2304919 Sat, 28 Jan 2023 20:13:24 +0000 MsMaven 2304919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow--you are one chic shopper! Your #1 outfit is fabulous. ##2,3,4 are great, as well as the deerstalker cap.&nbsp;</p> <p>The last one reminds me of my Mom in her Pendleton jackets. You are much chic-er than my Mom.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tales-from-the-dressing-room#post-2304916 Sat, 28 Jan 2023 20:02:57 +0000 Suz 2304916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, you look amazing!!&nbsp;</p> <p>Let me just say before I comment on the outfits that seeing you with those lovely tall boots reminds me of the moto and the search for the moto and I really do think one in that caramel/ toffee tone could be brilliant on you, so I hope it turns up.&nbsp;</p> <p>Ok. Onto the pics -- I LOVE your shopping outfit! You look so great in the cuffed jeans (jealous, here, I can never make them work like that!) and I also love the coat. Scarf and bag also lovely on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like both dresses. Did you end up getting one (or both)? Or are you in consideration mode only.&nbsp;</p> <p>The deerstalker made me laugh but you actually look cute in it!&nbsp;</p> <p>And the shacket is gorgeous on you! Given the current heating situation there, it seems as if a splurge on something like that would be as smart as another fleece, no? It really looks good on you.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tales-from-the-dressing-room#post-2304912 Sat, 28 Jan 2023 19:49:41 +0000 Indigoprint 2304912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How clever of you. I do not have a good spot for photos at home but never thought about the option of dressing room mirrors! You wear hats well too. The tricorn is especially marvelous.<br /> I think your shopping uniform is quite good.<br /> I like the Anthro a jacket too, but for me I would want it a bit longer.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tales-from-the-dressing-room#post-2304906 Sat, 28 Jan 2023 19:40:32 +0000 slim cat 2304906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous shopping outfit - very slick and polished ( total envy )! Dress in #5 is so good on you - hope you've got it. Shacket is perfect - expensive as almost everything at Anthropology ( might be still doable if it fits your lifestyle ).&nbsp;<br />Love the hats in #6-7 . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tales-from-the-dressing-room#post-2304903 Sat, 28 Jan 2023 19:33:15 +0000 Cardiff girl 2304903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have noticed that one if the few times l “get dressed”these days I.e, wear something other than fleece in attempt to not put the heating on,is when l go shopping.Also the mirrors are regularly cleaned (whoops!)and the lighting is better than in my house so l have made an effort to photograph myself when out and about.l know!l feel terribly millennial .<br />Here then is an eclectic bunch of photos from various shopping trips l have made over the last few months for your perusal.<br />#1- trying to decide if l needed yet another fleece.Apparently l did because l bought it!<br />#2 my shopping uniform&nbsp;<br />#3 My attempt to wear something other than my shopping uniform!<br />#4 +5 trying on dresses.<br />#6and7,fabulous menswear shop in my old home town where l grew up .The shop is very old ,wonky ,wooden beam ceilings and old fireplaces and the fashion is definitely not fast but quite distinguished.l rather fancied myself in a tricorn hat!and the deerstalker reminded me of Angies detective chic post for April fools one year.<br />#8A lovely shacket in anthropology yesterday ,quite dear though,what do you think?l am humming and haa-ing.Would be useful but as l said expensive .<br />Anyway l hope that you enjoyed coming shopping with me.Any comments or photos of your own shopping trips welcome. </p>
