You look awesome in the new duds!! April I'm curious to know whether you scored at Express as well - do share!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-cheers-for-april#post-218726 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 00:35:13 +0000 Sparky 218726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for both April and Mae ~ you two are so good and sweet to each other. April, you have an *incredible* eye for picking out the perfect items for Mae! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-cheers-for-april#post-218719 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 00:30:00 +0000 Mae 218719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April, I did wear the blue one untucked over my BR Martins this week, but belted it. It does have enough shape without the belt, but felt a little less put together. Plus, when I tuck I'm challenging myself to tuck. I haven't tucked in *years*. But, yeah, point taken. xo (And having your teenager for two weeks was a pleasure!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-cheers-for-april#post-218703 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 00:16:08 +0000 April 218703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mae neglected to mention that the Express package was a thank-you for her hosting of my teenager for two weeks (!) when I went back to work but he wasn't yet back in school...</p> <p>Jonesy, here's how it works. If I'm shopping and I see something amazing -- preferably also at an amazing price -- I always check to see if they have Mae's size as well as mine. Since I don't know exactly what's in Mae's closet and never remember what I've already sent, I have a loose list of things that are needed in said closet, and I try to find those things. But sometimes, I just go with my impulses. :)</p> <p>Mae -- have you tried those Express shirts untucked? They are shaped enough to look pretty good that way. (You can absolutely tuck in -- looks great on you -- but try the other way for ease. I especially love my black button-down untucked over white pants.)</p> <p>Katiepea -- there's always room for one more sister! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-cheers-for-april#post-218684 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 23:50:40 +0000 Michelle 218684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April and Mae make me smile! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-cheers-for-april#post-218623 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 22:48:52 +0000 Jonesy 218623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You two have the cutest sister relationship! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-cheers-for-april#post-218599 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 22:34:01 +0000 Katiepea 218599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April, can you be my sister too? (And can I have a good dose of your genetics while I'm at it? Pretty please.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-cheers-for-april#post-218590 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 22:26:54 +0000 Katja 218590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're looking great, and April is a great sister.</p> <p>If all black ever goes out, I'll have a heart attack! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-cheers-for-april#post-218585 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 22:17:45 +0000 taylor 218585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very Fab sister!!<br /> I have recently adopted my own~ very~ stylish sister...everyone needs one!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-cheers-for-april#post-218573 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 22:08:06 +0000 Mac 218573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Huzzah! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-cheers-for-april#post-218569 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 22:01:58 +0000 shana 218569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for sisters!!! Wish I had one....I dig the Johnny Cash look - let's just call it a NYC look??? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-cheers-for-april#post-218520 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 21:00:32 +0000 Kari 218520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How wonderful of April to share her "hand me downs" with you! The trousers in particular look FANTASTIC. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-cheers-for-april#post-218512 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 20:44:25 +0000 Louise 218512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What great items x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-cheers-for-april#post-218507 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 20:23:50 +0000 Mae 218507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jonesy, in this case, I think she was feeling sorry for me after my horrible closet day and miserable budget situation and wanted to send a boost of basic items that would integrate well. But I do get the closet discards too (tops and accessories only...since her legs are about 4 inches shorter than mine). Some of those "discards" are my favorite items! </p> <p>I have no idea if she also purchased some Express items for herself... I'm sure she'll chime in as soon as she has a moment's break from our parents who are visiting.</p> <p>Yes, Zapotee- good eye! These are the Editor pants. They are so perfect! Long-leggers take note: the tall size works perfectly with heels! </p> <p>Hmm... I thought all black was *out*, but I guess it's ok after all these comments? Maybe I'll give it a go, even though I didn't really intend to wear it all together like that. Thanks everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-cheers-for-april#post-218502 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 19:53:56 +0000 AJ 218502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both looks are fab, but I especially like the Johnny Cash version. Yay for sisters! I'm heading off to visit mine on Saturday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-cheers-for-april#post-218491 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 19:17:54 +0000 Anonymous 218491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How cool, I need a big sister.<br /> Are those the Editor Pants?

So, how does this work? Does April go shopping and buy two of each (one for her and one for you)? See things that she thinks suit you? Or get items home, decide they are not for her, and send them on to you? Any way you slice it, it's very sweet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-cheers-for-april#post-218455 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 17:59:52 +0000 bella 218455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your sisterly love is really making me miss my sister! *sniff* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-cheers-for-april#post-218453 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 17:56:05 +0000 MNsara 218453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, nice sisterly sharing :-)</p> <p>You look great in those pieces - they really fit you beautifully!

You look amazing, Mae!

The perfect black trouser (PPL!)<br /> 2. Two button downs with fabulous details that fit perfectly (one blue, one black)<br /> 3. An elastic belt with a zipper flower</p> <p>All from Express.</p> <p>All were integrated seamlessly and my closet is beaming. I couldn't help wearing the belt *almost* every day. :)</p> <p>I snapped a couple of photos, but didn't have time to catch every look. The all black is a Johnny Cash look that I probably wouldn't actually wear, but wanted to show April as many of the pieces I could get together in one outfit. The black and white is what i actually did wear. Not pictured: the blue button down, belted, with BR skinnies and Me Toos; the black trousers with purple knotted shirt and red sandals.</p> <p>Thank you, thank you, thank you April!!! </p>
