I chuckled when you mentioned an "unhealthy love"! Interesting abou the blouses adding a little sweetness. I know that is usually somewhat lacking in my outfits. I guess I'm afraid that sweet will either come off juvenile or little old lady. Not sure which would be worse! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-just-delivered-my-order-from-express/page/2#post-581818 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 15:11:57 +0000 rachylou 581818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hehe. I am the opposite of Una, I love a puffy sleeve (albeit an unhealthy love). I also really kinda love Express... like I walk the dog by the store window on a weekly basis.</p> <p>The red jacket is indeed totally awesome.</p> <p>And back to the puffy sleeves - I really like the tops on you. I feel they're different and unexpected, a bit of sweetener that perks things up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-just-delivered-my-order-from-express/page/2#post-581770 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 14:44:31 +0000 Meredith1953 581770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ManidipaM,<br /> Thanks! I'll look at the polka dot dress and see.</p> <p>@Amy,<br /> I only have about three things in red in my closet and I do love the color so I guess I need more now!</p> <p>@Modgirl,<br /> If I could find these gorgeous scarves in blouse form I would love it! I seem to do well picking out scarves but blouses I have more trouble with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-just-delivered-my-order-from-express/page/2#post-581767 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 14:40:44 +0000 Meredith1953 581767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Angie,<br /> Yes I am keeping all of it. I'm so glad you like the pieces!</p> <p>I do have a question. I am desperately looking for some patterned soft blouses. I have none so if you could do a posting on types that would work well for my body type (hourglass/pear) and style (hopefully modern classic) I would be so grateful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-just-delivered-my-order-from-express/page/2#post-581766 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 14:39:24 +0000 modgrl 581766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all the jackets and blouses. I'm not sure about the scarves - I would like to see these prints in blouse form. That would be pretty! I like seeing you in colors~! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-just-delivered-my-order-from-express/page/2#post-581762 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 14:33:21 +0000 Angie 581762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it all! Are you keeping the lot? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-just-delivered-my-order-from-express/page/2#post-581694 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 13:31:17 +0000 Amy 581694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it all too. You should wear red more. It looks fantastic on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-just-delivered-my-order-from-express/page/2#post-581682 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 13:20:44 +0000 ManidipaM 581682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops, my bad! I was so taken with the close-up in #6, I somehow slotted that as the new scarf! Green lizardly now makes me think of lovely garden geckoes! What fun! Maybe with your polka dot skirt for a subtle pattern mix? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-just-delivered-my-order-from-express/page/2#post-581676 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 13:13:34 +0000 Meredith1953 581676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ManidipaM,<br /> I am so glad you approve of the hair and the jackets and scarves.<br /> The BW one is actually a check gingham pattern. I have several black and white scarves but I wanted something with a checked look. The emerald one was just so lovely and actually has slight lizardy pattern. The blue is a tribal print all right.<br /> I love all three scarves so much! The blouses I was torn about. They fit well but the puffs take a little getting used to. I think they will look fine underneath sweaters and jackets etc and it occurs to me that I and put the white one over a dress (I have a black INC sheath) to make it into a sort of skirt and top look. I also have a black polkadot swingy A-line midi that I wore to the Puccini Martini Blast and I could put the black blouse over that for a slightly retro feel.<br /> Anyway, that is what I am going to try. If the poofs start to bother me I can alway get them taken down a notch via a tailor. </p> <p>@CocoLion<br /> You are very wise! In order to make those blouses work I will have to wear them differently since I agree that I am going towards a strong and hopefull modern classic look. I'm glad you think they look good but you are right about needing to make sure they work stylewise for me. In my comments to ManidipaM (see above) you can see what I intend to try to do. I still want to find a few blouses (print, and at least one more of black and one of white) that are more in my line. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-just-delivered-my-order-from-express/page/2#post-581608 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 10:39:20 +0000 ButterflyLady 581608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fantastic haul - I love both the jackets, all the scarves and the blouses - I love how they look on you (I have broad shoulders, so they look awful on me). The red jacket in particular is fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-just-delivered-my-order-from-express/page/2#post-581564 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 07:02:17 +0000 CocoLion 581564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the whole lot with the exception of the puffy sleeved blouse. I haven't read the comments, so don't know where you or others stand on it, but my opinion is that it's a little frilly for your strong classic style. Even though you look great in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-just-delivered-my-order-from-express/page/2#post-581559 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 06:38:21 +0000 ManidipaM 581559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Meredith, you sharpened up your hair! Love! Do go get 'taken out'!</p> <p>I can't decide which jacket I like better, so I'm simply going to say I adore the black and white scarf with the red and the green with the butterscotch, and bet the blue&amp;black will look fabulous with your grey!</p> <p>Love that you got scarfs in three very different trends --- black &amp; white print (floral? B&amp;W), tie-dye (tribal and blue+black), and solid emerald (bright, 'it' colour)! </p> <p>I hear you about the difficulty of finding print blouses. I'm right there with you. A print is so easy for self-accessorizing or doing away with accessories entirely, but it has to be just so, doesn't it?</p> <p>ETA: Commented on the puff sleeves in your other thread. I have too say these aren't all that voluminous even as-is, and balance your shoulders and hips very nicely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-just-delivered-my-order-from-express/page/2#post-581450 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 02:55:07 +0000 Meredith1953 581450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Joy,<br /> Thanks so much! I love the green too! I know what you mean about puff sleeves but I do think these work pretty well and the fit is good so if all else fails and the sleeves bug me I can layer them under a jacket or sweater. The faux leather jacket s are so much fun!!</p> <p>@Makrame,<br /> Thanks for the thumbs up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-just-delivered-my-order-from-express/page/2#post-581429 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 02:34:00 +0000 Makrame 581429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your haul looks great! The jacket are fab, and while I generally am not a fan of pouffy sleeves, these seem to be not-too-pouffy, and the fit of the blouses looks very nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-just-delivered-my-order-from-express/page/2#post-581427 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 02:32:04 +0000 Anonymous 581427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Meredith, leather jackets were made with you in mind. The red is my favortie. Of the scarves, the green one is the standout for me, but all are lovely. I have a poison eye for short sleeves but these tops really fit you well. You can pull them off in style. I'm sorry that the leopard blouse didn't work out, but you have a great haul to play with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-just-delivered-my-order-from-express/page/2#post-581415 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 02:22:50 +0000 Meredith1953 581415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Shevia,<br /> Thank you! I played around with several colors of scarves but I do think the gray zebra brings a little something extra to the outfit! Thanks for liking the jeans on me also!<br /> @Sarah,<br /> Woohoo indeed! I do love this red jacket. I have very few pieces of clothing that I just feel smashing in but I do love this one....and my poppy red raincoat too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-just-delivered-my-order-from-express/page/2#post-581412 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 02:16:20 +0000 sarah 581412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOOHOO! That red jacket is aMAzing on you. LOVE it with the zebra scarf. And the others are cute, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-just-delivered-my-order-from-express/page/2#post-581387 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 01:55:14 +0000 Meredith1953 581387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Aida,<br /> Thanks! I tried a deeper lip color since the scarf<br /> seemed to need it!<br /> @Dianthus,<br /> I agree that the red just seems to be superb but the butterscotch is nice and<br /> a little more of a work jacket!<br /> @Suz,<br /> "Mr. Meredith" LOL! I haven't shown him the two jackets<br /> yet but he KNOWS we are stepping out before this week is out!<br /> You are right about the tops. These will definitely do for now as I am sadly lacking<br /> and was able to get these for a very reasonable amount and they do fit and seem reasonably flattering to my figure. I am mostly disappointed that I have not found a printed pattern top yet that I like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-just-delivered-my-order-from-express/page/2#post-581386 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 01:52:21 +0000 Jaime 581386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both jackets but REALLY like the red one. Love it with the zebra scarf. Also your legs look a mile long in those jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-just-delivered-my-order-from-express#post-581328 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 01:04:23 +0000 Suz 581328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that red jacket is so fab on you! I hope Mr Meredith took you out because you deserve it for such savvy shopping! The scarves are beautiful, too, but then you're already one of our resident Queens of the Scarf! Butterscotch jacket is great, too. And I already weighed in on the tops. I hear you about the sleeves, too. I think eventually you will find a cut of woven top that works for your shoulders but also feels more "you." For now, these will work just fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-just-delivered-my-order-from-express#post-581288 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 00:23:34 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 581288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally love #6. That red just brings so much life and color to your face. I think it is a gorgeous color on you. I really like the butterscotch too but the red is just fabulous. It fits you beautifully too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-just-delivered-my-order-from-express#post-581277 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 00:13:00 +0000 Meredith1953 581277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Claire,<br /> I wanted to love Mr. Leopard but it was not meant to be!<br /> Yep! I am a "girl gone wild"!<br /> @Citygirldc,<br /> Thanks so much for giving your approval. I love them too!<br /> @Deborah,<br /> I agree I MUST keep both! I'm glad the sleeves don't look puffy to you.<br /> @Jen,<br /> Go get one! You will feel fabulous in it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-just-delivered-my-order-from-express#post-581275 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 00:08:06 +0000 Aida 581275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I like the whole lot :D<br /> (The last close up of the blue scarf... your lipstick color looks so fab!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-just-delivered-my-order-from-express#post-581229 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 23:30:05 +0000 jen 581229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want a RED JACKET!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-just-delivered-my-order-from-express#post-581214 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 23:07:07 +0000 Deborah 581214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You must keep both jackets! I love them both on you and my goodness how fab is the red on you Scarves are fab and I don't see any issue with the shirts. I have a couple myself and I find them very useful. Sleeves are not too puffy at all. Infact they create a lovely streamlined look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-just-delivered-my-order-from-express#post-581157 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 22:33:23 +0000 citygirldc 581157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are really great jackets. The length, cut and color are perfect on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-just-delivered-my-order-from-express#post-581124 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 21:58:43 +0000 Anonymous 581124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The outfit you have on right now sounds gorgeous. I'm starting to think that everything you try on fits you right off of the rack! Well, almost everything. Too bad about Mr. Leopard. I'd be doing a little dance now too, if I were you. Geez, we give you a week off of school and you just go crazy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-just-delivered-my-order-from-express#post-581093 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 21:33:34 +0000 Meredith1953 581093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jem! I feel terrific in it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-just-delivered-my-order-from-express#post-581092 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 21:31:55 +0000 Meredith1953 581092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Diana and Inge!<br /> I am practically doing a little dance right now. Out of 8 pieces I ordered (3 scarves, 3 tops, two jackets) I am only returning one item. It is a blouson leopard print that I like in theory but didn't work at all on me. I'm determined to find one that will though. I may have to ask Angie is she can make some recommendations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-just-delivered-my-order-from-express#post-581091 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 21:31:14 +0000 Jem 581091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is the red jacket, it looks amazing on you! </p>
