I vote to go for it, Malina! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-and-returned-and-what-i-realized#post-683120 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 11:39:28 +0000 Deborah 683120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The top looks like you Mo and i could see you wearing it with short shorts too. The dress is #1 is a great idea so I'm sorry it didn't work for you, If it makes you feel better, I have been returning a lot lately too. I really like trying things on at home, in my mirror, with my things:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-and-returned-and-what-i-realized#post-682981 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 19:44:49 +0000 Kate 682981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The top is adorable Mo, and would suit you to a T! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-and-returned-and-what-i-realized#post-682974 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 19:35:35 +0000 texstyle 682974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm wondering about the color - I really like the warmer tones in that purple dress, but I understand it's not an option. I've seen ikat designs at several places online - BR, Territory Ahead, even Gap maybe. Have you exhausted all of those places in your search? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-and-returned-and-what-i-realized#post-682945 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 18:49:39 +0000 Mo 682945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, I am seriously considering it. I'm so gun shy about returns lately that I want to be 99% sure, you know? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-and-returned-and-what-i-realized#post-682943 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 18:48:07 +0000 Jem 682943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that top would suit you perfectly? Are you going to get it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-and-returned-and-what-i-realized#post-682938 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 18:37:22 +0000 Mo 682938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today I had the car, so I ran some quick errands and ducked into the outlet store. I tried on a strapless dress I'd eyed there a few weeks before. Today I brought it home. Took a pic. Returned it within an hour. Lol. I had ideas of taking off the ruffle (held it up for the pic so you didn't get the full Carmen Miranda-ness of it). Then I realized the dress was wearing me, ruffle or not.<br /> Rewind to last summer, when I was stalking a purple dress waiting for it to go on sale. I finally ordered it, nearly full price, only to find the sewing was off by a full inch from the left bust to the right. Back it went! (by the by, it's STILL not any cheaper a whole year later - what's up with that!?)<br /> Conclusion: I am craving that particular tribal inspired print more than the dresses themselves. Now, possible solution? I also immediately fell in love with the ikat top worn by J Everyday in her blog last month. Will this satisfy my tribal lust in a wearable way? </p>
