Fingers crossed it gets re-stocked in size L today.<br />Angie, this is size M and it is cut too close under arms for me - therefore slight pulling and slight discomfort as well. I definitely need to try size L - I don't even need to do a sit down test BTW I remember you said orange is harder to&nbsp; style with other colors...should I still go for it? What do you think?<br />Krish, my bag needs are 80% for work so this is what I need to splurge on. Anyway after looking at the picture I think I need a bigger size satchel for my frame - and magically it will fit my lifestyle also! :-)<br />Mona, there were some sleeved silk blouses too, you may want to check them out.<br />Suz, I am glad you like the tops &lt;wink&gt;. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unsuccessful-shopping-after-a-long-working-weekend--#post-948177 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 15:34:11 +0000 Mona 948177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I love this orange shade on you and the shirts are gorgeous. If they were not sleeveless, I would have gotten on for myself.<br />Too bad about the bag. I usually carry a handbag and a lunch box to work as my lunch/snacks don't fit into any of my bags. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unsuccessful-shopping-after-a-long-working-weekend--#post-948144 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 14:53:26 +0000 Angie 948144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*sobbing with you*</p> <p>I take full responsibility for breaking your NAS diet. </p> <p>The blouses are gorgeous. Have you done the sit down test? The red is a little tight under the arm and side bust - but that could be because your arm is making it pull that way in the photo. Make sure you so the sit down test </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unsuccessful-shopping-after-a-long-working-weekend--#post-948072 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 14:01:14 +0000 Raisin 948072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww, too bad about the bag. It's very nice, but I can understand if it doesn't suit your lifestyle there's not much point to keep it. I have a couple<br /> Purses that don't get used much because of this ;)</p> <p>I think the orange looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unsuccessful-shopping-after-a-long-working-weekend--#post-947931 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 09:11:34 +0000 krishnidoux 947931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry about these shopping misadventures!&nbsp;<br />Firstly, the bag is ever so cute, and suits you so well. Aren't you&nbsp;sure you won't find a use for it, other than your week wear?&nbsp;<br />As for the shirts, return ASAP. Orange looked nice though.&nbsp;Costco is frustrating this way in terms of sizes. I share sorrow on this with you, even if my size is not the same, they never seem to have it!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unsuccessful-shopping-after-a-long-working-weekend--#post-947923 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 07:18:55 +0000 jenanded 947923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't you hate when this happens... I would pick the orange top and sure the white bag will come - the LOOK works for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unsuccessful-shopping-after-a-long-working-weekend--#post-947884 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 03:47:34 +0000 Suz 947884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Sveta, the tops are gorgeous!! <b>LOVE</b> the orange, especially, for you. I do hope it comes in your size.&nbsp;</p> <p>Agree absolutely that you need a larger bag. Sad about that, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unsuccessful-shopping-after-a-long-working-weekend--#post-947859 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 03:00:10 +0000 Transcona Shannon 947859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad about the bag but definitely no point in keeping it if it isn't practical for your lifestyle.</p> <p>LOVE the orange top on you - it would look gorgeous with white trousers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unsuccessful-shopping-after-a-long-working-weekend--#post-947809 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 01:58:15 +0000 Sveta 947809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! I am returning the bag, after seeing pictures I also think it is too small for my frame. I definitely need bigger satchel.<br />I am going to check Costco tomorrow for size L. I am leaning towards keeping the orange and returning the blue in this case. As Deborah said it is nice but not quite my blue.<br />Deborah, our Costco stores have these travelling events when they bring some brand in for a couple of weeks and then it is gone to another store. Some stuff is pretty interesting so I always check them out - and you cannot beat the prices! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unsuccessful-shopping-after-a-long-working-weekend--#post-947722 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 00:00:05 +0000 Tanya 947722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both colors of the top on you, and would definitely try to find the right size. &nbsp;Sorry to hear about the bag, but I am sure you will find the right one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unsuccessful-shopping-after-a-long-working-weekend--#post-947721 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 23:58:32 +0000 Deborah 947721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta disappointing about the bag but I am sure a better sized one will come along.&nbsp; Re the tops, they are gorgeous. I don't know if our Costco has clothing but I really must plan a visit one day.&nbsp; Anyway, I think the orange is stunning on you.&nbsp; The blue is ok but I don't think it's quite 'your' blue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unsuccessful-shopping-after-a-long-working-weekend--#post-947718 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 23:55:35 +0000 Glory 947718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw these shirts at my local Costco and they are fantastic. I so badly wanted the blue one but couldn't reconcile it with my life style as a WAHM. I love both of them for you. They usually restock the sizes part way through the travelling show. Ceit - check on line to see when the items are in your area. Last week they had Josef Seibel here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unsuccessful-shopping-after-a-long-working-weekend--#post-947717 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 23:53:02 +0000 Carla 947717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad about the bag. I did get a white shopper (with brown bottom and handle's) for my mother for Mother's Day at the magic $99 price. It was leather, and surprisingly light. (Winners.) I hear you about the lunch bag...I toss mine in my sports bag, but that is still 2 bags to tote.</p> <p>Love both the blue and the orange on you. The orange slightly more, but think both could get a lot of wear this summer. Get both. </p> <p>The minimalist style you are sporting is very appealing, and clean. Love the pants and matching neutral shoes. Wowsa for the long leg line. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unsuccessful-shopping-after-a-long-working-weekend--#post-947715 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 23:52:24 +0000 rachylou 947715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab in blue and orange! Totally caught my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unsuccessful-shopping-after-a-long-working-weekend--#post-947711 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 23:47:27 +0000 Anonymous 947711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! Too sad about the bag. It's beautiful.</p> <p>Te shirts are lovely on you! I need I see if my Costco has them this weekend! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unsuccessful-shopping-after-a-long-working-weekend--#post-947705 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 23:40:16 +0000 Sveta 947705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I popped into mall yesterday to check out Gap denim biker jackets (Angie, what are you doing to my NAS diet!!!) &nbsp;and of course I could not pass Danier store without checking it out.&nbsp;&nbsp; This time I decided to check the bags.<br />I am not a bag lady. I can appreciate how a bag adds to the outfit but I am too lazy to switch my stuff from one bag to another every day. Saying this I wanted to add a white bag for summer (and maybe beyond) because I am on the white kick lately.<br />Danier has several nice white bags but this one called my name. It has a soft leather, minimal hardware and simple satchel design which really spoke to me. It was also on sale from $225 to $99 so it came home with me.<br />Alas when I came home I realized that it will not work for my lifestyle. I carry lunch to work every day. I don't like to carry a handbag AND a lunch bag so my handbag should be big enough to fit my lunch - and this white beauty is not &lt;sob&gt;<br />I am returning this bag with&nbsp; broken heart. It does not work for work and I don't have a need for a new bag outside of work.&nbsp;Instead I am thinking that maybe my ideal white bag is a tote where I can fit my lunch easily?</p> <p>Then I went to Costco for groceries and found these beautiful Hilary Radley silk shirts there. The fabric is gorgeous, washable and wrinkle resistant and colors are vibrant without being neon brights. I could not decide between blue and orange so I bought both to try at home. They did not have size L so I hoped M may work.<br />Well it did not. There is a very slight pulling across the chest and armholes are cut too high. I hope they may get size L this week so I am going to check them out but size M will go back.<br />Now in case size L is there and fits well - what do you think of the color and style? I don't have anything in this orange shade - is it too bright for me? Also this blue is lighter than cobalt I usually like, it is closer to royal blue I think so I am not sure it works for me either.<br />What do you think? </p>
