Both tops look great. I particularly like the ruffle/peplum hem on the darker one. The neutral tones in both will work with a lot of bottoms and jackets too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-shopping#post-1689967 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 01:33:54 +0000 deb 1689967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yea for successful shopping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-shopping#post-1689965 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 01:28:47 +0000 DonnaF 1689965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look great and very versatile.&nbsp; Congrats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-shopping#post-1689928 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 23:40:03 +0000 Angie 1689928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous.

That's something I never really considered before. I would just buy things because I liked them or they fit my budget criteria. </p> <p>During my shopping, I kept asking myself lots of questions about fit, undergarments, silhouette, etc. I realized that if I needed a special bra to wear something, it was never going to get worn. Or if I thought the cut of a skirt made my hips look too wide, I knew I wasn't going to wear it - even if the rest of it was super cute.</p> <p>You lovely ladies have given me a lot to think about! My husband also mentioned he hasn't heard me be so positive about clothing in a while. I can't wait to really get my closet in good shape, but I know it's a process. Just glad it's finally begun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-shopping#post-1689791 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 18:40:12 +0000 Anonymous 1689791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This sounds great. I have found in the past loft pants to be a good choice for work pants. And I like both tops. </p> <p>I have been trying to keep thinking about what I really need and what would be most beneficial to purchase when I am out shopping. That can keep me from getting too easily distracted by things that may not fit my daily life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-shopping#post-1689758 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 17:41:43 +0000 Anonymous 1689758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are good choices.&nbsp; Very cute and you'll be able to wear them with so many things.&nbsp; You'll have to post some of your outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-shopping#post-1689756 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 17:41:18 +0000 rachylou 1689756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great tips! There's something very satisfying, is there not, about shopping with 'developed criteria.' I realise now my version of shopping with a plan, before YLF, was the same as having no plan at all. Lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-shopping#post-1689748 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 17:21:54 +0000 Suz 1689748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those look like great tops -- &nbsp;they have "stand alone" power. Glad you had such a positive shopping experience!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-shopping#post-1689745 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 17:15:56 +0000 paperlust 1689745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went on my first shopping trip since joining YLF and really feel great about what I brought home! Both trips were during my daughter's nap time, so I was somewhat limited to where I could go, so I stayed close to home. </p> <p>Saturday I went to Kohl's and found 3 tops and a cute little summer cardigan to go with my sleeveless shirts.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sunday I went to LOFT and ended up with 3 bottoms (dark wash skinny jeans, linen capris and some utility-type pants) and 2 tops. I even scored everything half off!&nbsp;</p> <p>My thought process this time was much different than my usual shopping trip. I really put some effort into finding weekend wear that I loved, but that was comfortable and that could be worn to work if I wanted to. Those outfits will also work if I have to go out for a photoshoot on a hot day. The other pieces I bought to wear for work are dressier and will go with different bottoms. I feel like I need to update my shoes some now, but I'll probably wait for the right pieces to come along, especially since I spend a good chunk this weekend!</p> <p>Thank you all for the links and advice on my first post here a few weeks back! That really helped me narrow my focus instead of just shopping for whatever was on sale or fit ok.</p> <p>I couldn't find links to everything, but here are two of the tops I brought home. Wearing the leopard one now, and have gotten several compliments on it already! </p>
