I love all the tops other than the blue striped one. The brown one is my favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-on-a-few-things-today#post-19824 Mon, 11 Aug 2008 14:02:51 +0000 Angie 19824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah Brandy! You did well and are the furthest thing from a lost cause. Here's my 2 cents:</p> <p>o Straight leg jeans look pretty good. Are they too big? They look like they might grow. Back pockets like that tend to look bulky under tops and you have a fab little bottom so show it off sans the pockets.<br /> o Trouser jeans are too tight<br /> o Brown spot blouse and white shirt look fantastic!<br /> o Sleeveless empire looks great too</p> <p>Well done! Now go buy some of those goodies cause you look fab :-)</p> <p>San, you have done SO well too. Please do not give up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-on-a-few-things-today#post-19801 Mon, 11 Aug 2008 05:58:52 +0000 amy29 19801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really liked the first pair of jeans too. Nice fit. I think of the tops, I was partial to the white with the black skinny belt first, and my second favorite on you was the dotted brown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-on-a-few-things-today#post-19797 Mon, 11 Aug 2008 04:20:25 +0000 Sihaya 19797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MVM - you are doing great. Way to go. San, just put on that kick-ass dress you have and strut around and the 'tude should come back in no time </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-on-a-few-things-today#post-19790 Mon, 11 Aug 2008 01:24:04 +0000 Anonymous 19790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No way are you a lost cause. You are right on top of your game. I'm proud of the work you've been doing here. It's a lot of thinking and trying things. It's a big effort.<br /> I myself am falling into a bit of a slump on whether it s all worth it, so I need to slap myself and get back an attitude of having fun with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-on-a-few-things-today#post-19788 Mon, 11 Aug 2008 00:55:39 +0000 minivanmom 19788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's their website. Honestly, I don't know if they are selling their brand of clothing or something else. I'd never heard of any of the brands in there. It's not exactly high quality clothing I don't think. But they have some cute trendy stuff in there. But locally, all we have are Peebles(I'll be checking there next!), Cato, Walmart and Kmart.</p> <p><a href="http://www.catofashions.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.catofashions.com/</a></p> <p>Thanks for the replies everyone! As for the patch pockets. You know, on most of my more "casual" pants I actually prefer this type of pocket. I think they look better on me. BUT for when I'm dressing a little dressier, I go for a flat pocket.</p> <p>I loved the sating brown polka-dot top. Definitely going back to get it. The white shirt looked cute, but it just didn't "feel" good on. I liked the sleeveless top a lot, but felt when I looked in the mirror that I looked particularly "busty", but I may rethink it and get it too. It was really comfy and I liked the print a lot. Yeah, the blue stripe looked really weird on. I felt extra rectangular-ly(?) in it. </p> <p>As for the jeans, I think I may go back and get the first pair. They were only $20 and really fit great. Definitely pass on the 2nd pair. Just too tight! </p> <p>I was nervous to post these pics! I knew that some I liked and some I didn't, but was afraid you all were going to hate them and think that I'm a lost cause! LOL! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-on-a-few-things-today#post-19784 Sun, 10 Aug 2008 23:23:01 +0000 Nicole 19784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey! OK---I liked the first jeans. The second ones were good, but a tad too snug based on the pulling in the lower abdomen, upper thigh area. BUT---I did not like the faded thighs. I think that's a very young and quite sloppy look best left to young sloppy people.</p> <p>I liked all three tops, except the striped one. I did not like the sleeve and the pattern was a little dizzying. But I loved loved LOVED the last top! My order of preference would be 1. the last top. 2. The first top and 3. the second top--white with the belt.</p> <p>I never heard of Cato...do they sell their own line (like Gap?) or do they sell major brands? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-on-a-few-things-today#post-19777 Sun, 10 Aug 2008 22:36:13 +0000 Sihaya 19777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MVM - these are awesome. Good for you for maximizing nap time with shopping time. I love the jeans on you though yes, if they're whiskering you probably need a bigger size. Love the shirts except for the blue ribbon on the striped shirt. The last top is nice - however, it's shorter length seems more appropriate for skirts than jeans. Way to go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-on-a-few-things-today#post-19766 Sun, 10 Aug 2008 22:01:40 +0000 Inge 19766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the straight-legged jeans on you, but like Dani, I'm not sure about the back pockets.</p> <p>I love the white shirt with the belt. It looks so crisp and clean.<br /> The sleeveless top in the last picture looks great too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-on-a-few-things-today#post-19765 Sun, 10 Aug 2008 22:01:37 +0000 Alecia 19765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seems like I'm often agreeing with Dani. We must have similar taste. I was going to comment about the patch pockets, too. However I would say that I think the trousers are a little small because of the whiskering on the hips. On the tops, I'm back to agreeing with Dani. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-on-a-few-things-today#post-19760 Sun, 10 Aug 2008 21:23:32 +0000 Dani 19760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first pair of jeans. How do you feel about the patch pockets? I find I get tops hung on these type of pockets. The trousers are cute. Where did they feel too small? </p> <p>Of the shirts, my favorite is the polka dot shirt. The sleeveless and the white shirt work well too. I'm not sure about the blue striped shirt. Looks like you had a good shopping trip </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-on-a-few-things-today#post-19757 Sun, 10 Aug 2008 20:51:16 +0000 Anonymous 19757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You found some good things. I love the white, brown, and swirly blue patterned blouse. The only one I didn't care for was the blue striped with the ribbon tie.<br /> I really love the white one on you.<br /> I like the dark wash straight leg jeans the best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-on-a-few-things-today#post-19756 Sun, 10 Aug 2008 20:32:06 +0000 minivanmom 19756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While the kids were napping, I took off to our local Cato's to try on a few things.
