You are not alone though, and I share Angie's very wise opinion that something better awaits. Enjoy the time with your family, try not to worry too much, and you're going to come out of this just fine.</p> <p>Meanwhile I am also watching some of the same Aqua dresses that Tanya posted. Let's all keep each other in the loop if we see a price drop (and hopefully it will be big!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-length-sweaters#post-37614 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 07:08:04 +0000 Angie 37614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whenever a door closes, a window opens somewhere else. I’m sure you’ll make sense of the situation in good time, Marianne. Something better is waiting for you. We are here if you need us – for laughs too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-length-sweaters#post-37611 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 06:23:35 +0000 marianne 37611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone. I didn't mean to bring this conversation into minor scale, and things could be a lot worse.</p> <p>Tanya, those sweaters are very nice. I hope they'll REALLY go down in price though.</p> <p>Thank you Antje, I would love to meet for coffee sometime! I imagine your schedule is pretty busy during holidays, but let me know what works for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-length-sweaters#post-37607 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 05:53:32 +0000 Antje 37607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Marianne, I am SO sorry to hear about your layoff. I've been thinking about you every time I read about the company in the last few weeks (so pretty much daily) and was wondering whether your job was safe. This is awful news to get, especially whilst in the midst of another huge adjustment with your second little one. Well, let me know if you ever want to hook up for cruising the consigment stores together (or just to have coffee and chat). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-length-sweaters#post-37574 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 04:06:32 +0000 Alecia 37574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianne, I don't have any advice on tunic but I wanted to tell you how sorry I am to hear about the layoff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-length-sweaters#post-37573 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 04:01:36 +0000 Tanya 37573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so sorry to hear that Marianne. I hope things work out for you.</p> <p>I have tried on that Express dress ( and all the similar ones they have) and looked absolutely ridiculous in it, like an hourglass caricature. I have found a few online at Bloomies that i will be stalking, i really hope they go on significant sale after Xmas:</p> <p><a href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=127025&#038;PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results#mainProductImage" rel="nofollow">http://www1.bloomingdales.com/.....oductImage</a></p> <p><a href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=122404&#038;PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results" rel="nofollow">http://www1.bloomingdales.com/.....sn_results</a></p> <p><a href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=122402&#038;PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results#mainProductImage" rel="nofollow">http://www1.bloomingdales.com/.....oductImage</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-length-sweaters#post-37562 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 03:16:39 +0000 marianne 37562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, to be honest, I am still digesting the news and trying to figure out the plan. I don't think I'll be a SAHM long term, but I might take time off for a while. Or I'll see if I can find some arrangement that leaves time for the family, at least while my kids are little.</p> <p>Could you take a look at my Roxanne thread? That was also a purchase for my SAHM list </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-length-sweaters#post-37556 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 02:59:28 +0000 Angie 37556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohhhh Marianne. I'm so sorry to hear that. How are you feeling about things? </p> <p>Your plan for casual festive attire sounds great – and you know I’m all for you getting those docs </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-length-sweaters#post-37547 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 02:31:10 +0000 marianne 37547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, I'll check out UO and Macy's. I always forget about Macy's because it's always overwhelming for me, and I need a lot of time to comb through it.</p> <p>Maya, I agree about the quality of that sweater, but it gave me a good idea of the proportions I want. I am not a fan of Express quality in general (sorry everyone!)</p> <p>Angie, the festive top shopping didn't happen, because I found out I'm getting laid off and I couldn't get in the right mood :(. Last weekend I went to a (casual) party and wore my houndstooth CM vest and a simple black top, and I think I can make it work for more festive occasions. It's possible I'll have to be a SAHM for some time, and my focus shifted to more casual stuff like sweaters. And those 20 eyelet docs are moving higher on the priority list too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-length-sweaters#post-37526 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 01:01:35 +0000 Maya 37526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>By the way, I also tried that Express sweater and was appalled at the quality. I know Express is not the bastion of high quality, but they do have some good pieces. Those sweaters were atrocious though. I was even willing to overlook the bad quaity if the fit was right, but it was really poor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-length-sweaters#post-37519 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 00:37:54 +0000 Maya 37519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got mine from Urban Outfitters:</p> <p><a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?itemdescription=true&#038;itemCount=60&#038;startValue=1&#038;selectedProductColor=&#038;sortby=&#038;id=15366636&#038;parentid=W_APP_DRESSES_SWEATER&#038;sortProperties=+product.marketingPriority,-product.startDate&#038;navCount=198&#038;navAction=poppushpushpush&#038;color=" rel="nofollow">http://www.urbanoutfitters.com.....038;color=</a></p> <p>It's a loose fit but I like it a lot. It's almost embarrassing how many times a week I wear it. I might have to duplicate it in red. It says it's a dress, but it's much too short for a dress (and I'm only 5'2). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-length-sweaters#post-37517 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 00:32:40 +0000 Angie 37517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried Macys? How did your festive holiday outfit shopping go? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-length-sweaters#post-37478 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 19:56:26 +0000 Antje 37478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw a couple cute ones at Tulle: <a href="http://www.tulle4us.com/style/sweaters/?page=all&#038;size=&#038;sort=new" rel="nofollow">http://www.tulle4us.com/style/.....8;sort=new</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-length-sweaters#post-37469 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 19:12:54 +0000 Patience 37469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianne, I've been looking for tunic length sweaters this season as well, although not too intensely. I tried the express one and just felt I could do better. Other than the boyfriend cardigans, I haven't come across much either. So I'll be watching this thread. I want them to not be too clingy also-- more sack like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-length-sweaters#post-37465 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 18:22:14 +0000 marianne 37465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Any suggestions on where to look for tunic length sweaters? I tried on this one at Express, only solid - it's not online for some reason:<br /> <a href="http://www.express.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=1818&#038;parentCategoryId=2&#038;categoryId=20&#038;subCategoryId=20" rel="nofollow">http://www.express.com/catalog.....egoryId=20</a></p> <p>- something along these lines, but preferably wool or cotton, or at least high content of either, and not too expensive. I checked BR, GAP and J Crew. I would appreciate any ideas! </p>
