Some baggy short shorts excitement worn to perfection on the forum! I can't believe it took so long! They are KILLER, C1. Add your new blazer and sheer black hose. </p> <p>In Spain, head to all the local retail stores - Zara and the like. Great fashion at the best prices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/update-and-what-ive-bought-recently#post-221371 Sat, 25 Sep 2010 16:35:39 +0000 Mellllls 221371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>those shorts are so cute on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/update-and-what-ive-bought-recently#post-221370 Sat, 25 Sep 2010 16:30:46 +0000 crazyone 221370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>bumping for Angie: how do you think I should style the shorts, and any recommendations for Madrid shopping?</p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/update-and-what-ive-bought-recently#post-220931 Fri, 24 Sep 2010 14:40:30 +0000 lynne 220931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shorts look great on you. I love the idea of them with a blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/update-and-what-ive-bought-recently#post-220916 Fri, 24 Sep 2010 13:44:16 +0000 crazyone 220916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ: yes, I just got back from India a few weeks ago. It's been super busy...</p> <p>bumping for Angie's opinions, especially since she had a blog post on the look. I think it's the red tights throwing people off, and maybe the top half, which is not at all what I'd plan to wear. What about black textured tights, white blouse, cognac boots, and a black blazer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/update-and-what-ive-bought-recently#post-219877 Wed, 22 Sep 2010 06:11:41 +0000 AJ 219877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Didn't you just go on a trip? Oh, have fun in Spain! Look forward to reading about your shopping there.</p> <p>I like the shorts and how they fit. The contrasting tights seem off to me.. I think both the boots and the booties will work, but match the tights to the shorts or the shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/update-and-what-ive-bought-recently#post-219858 Wed, 22 Sep 2010 05:11:23 +0000 Scarlet 219858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I can't give a full opinion until you style the top half, but my initial reaction is the shorts look good on you and I think you can wear boots and booties, but the overall color scheme needs some attention. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/update-and-what-ive-bought-recently#post-219784 Wed, 22 Sep 2010 02:14:32 +0000 crazyone 219784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jonesy: I'm not sure. I hope that doesn't happen!</p> <p>Alaskagirl: glad I could be an inspiration!</p> <p>Lisa: Yeah, I'm starting to think the boots+burgundy tights doesn't quite work, since it's a lot of high contrast. I still think I'd prefer to wear the boots with the shorts, because it's more coverage, but maybe brown or black textured tights would be better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/update-and-what-ive-bought-recently#post-219487 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 16:43:07 +0000 Lisa 219487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the shorts look great. I actually like them better with the booties. With a textured tight, it will really show off the shorts nicely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/update-and-what-ive-bought-recently#post-219482 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 16:26:10 +0000 catgirl 219482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those shorts are great - I bought something similar last year at the Gap on sale and forgot I had them (out of season at the time!)... you've inspired me to drag them out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/update-and-what-ive-bought-recently#post-219462 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 15:35:31 +0000 Jonesy 219462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look really cute on you. But the practical side of me can't help wondering, regarding all cuffed short shorts: When you walk around in them, are you going to be constantly tugging them down on the inside part of the thigh, because the cuffs rubbing together makes the shorts ride up? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/update-and-what-ive-bought-recently#post-219417 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 13:26:02 +0000 crazyone 219417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>bumping for opinions on the shorts... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/update-and-what-ive-bought-recently#post-219244 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 01:25:39 +0000 crazyone 219244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, yes, I do know Spain is a fabulous shopping destination! Any recommendations for Madrid? I'll be in Granada (for the conference) and then Madrid (for relaxation). If I do have time to shop (well, I'll have time, but I'll be traveling with boys...), it'll be in Madrid.</p> <p>And here are some pictures of the shorts! I haven't properly styled my top half (I have ideas, but I either don't have the clothes yet--should be coming tomorrow --or I was too lazy to pull them all out), but these are two pairs of shoes that I was planning on wearing on the bottom. The boots are what I always planned to wear, but do the booties work? I also have black, gray, patterned black tights as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/update-and-what-ive-bought-recently#post-219188 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 23:03:09 +0000 Angie 219188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Short shorts look best a little baggier to my eye. </p> <p>Have a wonderful time in Spain and good luck with the presentation. Ahem....you do know that the shopping in Spain is phenomenal. Best you bring back some goodies </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/update-and-what-ive-bought-recently#post-219054 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 17:53:59 +0000 crazyone 219054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Marianna! I didn't get a chance to do this last week, but congrats on your job at Nordies!</p> <p>I got the tweed shorts this morning! And fortunately, they do fit. They're a tiny bit loose at the waist but I prefer it this way, because I wanted a baggier fit...I do feel like they're "enhancing" my widest parts a bit, but we'll see...I didn't get a chance to properly style them.</p> <p>Pictures tonight, hopefully! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/update-and-what-ive-bought-recently#post-218842 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 04:40:26 +0000 marianna 218842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nordies has no return policy. They will gladly help you out in anyway they can! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/update-and-what-ive-bought-recently#post-218831 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 04:17:20 +0000 taylor 218831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>always love to see your goodies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/update-and-what-ive-bought-recently#post-218829 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 04:11:44 +0000 Sihaya 218829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No - it's totally ok - the joy of purchasing at Nordstrom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/update-and-what-ive-bought-recently#post-218828 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 04:09:33 +0000 crazyone 218828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>all the stuff I mentioned buying I haven't yet received. I'll definitely post pictures when I get them.</p> <p>Jenava and Sihaya, does it matter that it's been more than 30 days since I purchased the sweater? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/update-and-what-ive-bought-recently#post-218826 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 04:07:13 +0000 Jenava 218826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They will swap it or give you a refund with no questions asked, I'm sure!</p> <p>Can't wait to see your shorts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/update-and-what-ive-bought-recently#post-218821 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 04:00:44 +0000 Sihaya 218821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have a great time in Spain - I'm jealous! I'm sure Nordie's will be open to a swap/return on your sweater. We need to see pictures of your loot soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/update-and-what-ive-bought-recently#post-218817 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 03:59:12 +0000 crazyone 218817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've mostly been lurking and not posting very much, since I've been very busy these days. But I've been busy for a good reason--I'm going to Spain on Saturday, for my very first conference talk! A free week in Spain (some of which will be spent traveling around). I need to spend some time thinking about what would be best to wear for it...more on that in a few days.</p> <p>Things I've bought recently: the sanctuary tweed shorts, which are taking *AGES* to arrive, and Nordstrom didn't give me a tracking number They did say estimated delivery date of Sept. 24, even though they shipped out on the 11th. Can't wait to style them.</p> <p>A knit blazer (much sharper looking than the one I have from U. O.) that I nabbed off of Esprit for about 20.00! The strange thing was the price of the blazer (which wasn't listed as a sale item) was briefly at 29.99 (there was a 30% off promotion), so I had to nab it. Hopefully it'll look as good as it does on the website, but if not, Esprit has free returns </p> <p>I also bought a red tunic buttondown from there, and that should be nice, too.</p> <p>BTW, I found a hole in my Trouve puff sleeve sweater that I bought during NAS I'd never actually worn it until that day, so I'm pretty sure I didn't snag it somewhere. Is there any possibility of redressing this with Nordstrom? </p> <p>And of course, I've been wearing my Miss Sixty Moto jacket loads, just like in the WIW I posted last week. </p>
