I can't wait to move.... in 2-3 months. Sigh. I just hope the pandemic doesn't freeze all activity again in the interim. This apartment is way too small for us to both work comfortably. We need to put half our stuff into storage too, in order to start showing it; fortunately, the new purchase isn't contingent on us selling this one first.</div><div><br /> </div><div>The bomber arrived, and it's pretty great and actually fits over my hips. I think the arms look slightly bulky on me, and not sure sizing down would be a great idea due to my hips; proper coat and jacket fit can be a big pain on me. I'll take a picture at some point when it's less hot. I think I will be keeping it anyway. I like the thumb holes! ETA - here is a pic of me. Maybe I’m wrong to want to keep it. I clearly need a petite size, which they don’t make.<br /> </div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-ordering#post-2140949 Thu, 27 Aug 2020 15:16:31 +0000 Suz 2140949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on the new home!

Excited about moving and about my shoes. Moving may take up to three months due to NYC red tape, though.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>unfrumped - </b>we own our apartment now and something is always wrong! Just last week we needed a new toilet seat. We are upgrading from a&nbsp; 450 sq ft place (with a fab location) to a 1600 sq ft duplex with a yard. Though it doesn't have grass and we won't put any in, so no mowing. Yes, we are almost <i>quadrupling</i> our space, so lots more stuff can go wrong!</div><div><br /></div><div>We will have walk-in closets--plural!<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Another order update - my towels were mis-delivered. I got a refund, but the color I wanted is sold out The bomber will arrive today so I will hop back on with a verdict.<br /></div></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-ordering#post-2140854 Wed, 26 Aug 2020 21:40:46 +0000 unfrumped 2140854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad the footwear worked out.<br /> Congrats on your house. Now it’s time to watch “The Money Pit “ on some channel.

It looked gorgeous in the picture. I'm glad the other items worked out well, and fingers crossed for that adorable bomber. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-ordering#post-2140657 Wed, 26 Aug 2020 03:19:50 +0000 NancyW 2140657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Many congratulations on your new home! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-ordering#post-2140621 Tue, 25 Aug 2020 23:38:33 +0000 Christina F. 2140621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got everything but the comber so far (and my towels).</p> <p>Sofft sneakers are great, as other here have said</p> <p>Paolo boots are gorgeous. I have some tailors bunions and am starting to have to size up on things because of it, and this was the case here. The size 8 fit but as snug with a sock. Size 8.5 is perfect. &nbsp;Gorgeous boots!</p> <p>AVF coat - beautiful and seems well made, &nbsp;but it’s best for straight figures. I got a size L, and it did not fit my hips. I can tell that even if get an XL, it will still pull across the hips... and this coat is supposed tonreplace one that pulled across my hips but fit otherwise. Ah well. I will keep looking.&nbsp; </p> <p>I ordered one of my second round items, these jeans, which popped back up in my size. I also threw in some Kendra Scott earrings. I really want these shoes, too, but we are going to be cash poor for a while, so I will resist for now. Our home offer was accepted!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-ordering#post-2139613 Thu, 20 Aug 2020 13:38:19 +0000 Christina F. 2139613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Thanks everyone! All these items give me heart eyes, but especially the boots.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Suz&nbsp; -</b> too bad about the pockets! I can be fussy in some ways, but the the pocket entry doesn't bother me. Mainly, I want my phone to fit in the pockets of&nbsp; jacket and top entry is probably even a little better for that. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Angie</b> I will report back soon! The raincoat and boots are already on their way.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Karie</b>, I just hope the bomber isn't too long on me! I'm short-waisted and curvy, and a too long jacket often means it fits poorly on the bottom. Hence this is a HEWI for me. Fingers crossed!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Sal</b> - Definitely! I am living in slip on sandals right now.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I should have news on a potential new home very soon... we hope to make an offer shortly.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-ordering#post-2139589 Thu, 20 Aug 2020 10:50:03 +0000 Style Fan 2139589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck with your new home.&nbsp; I love those boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-ordering#post-2139573 Thu, 20 Aug 2020 05:23:52 +0000 Sal 2139573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all these picks and I can see you in them.&nbsp; Those boots are so much fun and slip on sneakers or slides deserve a place in many wardrobes.</p> <p>Good luck with the home:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-ordering#post-2139509 Wed, 19 Aug 2020 19:44:12 +0000 RobinF 2139509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice!

Of course I would order, too, except I got both snakeskin booties and plaid boots in that style last year. :)</p> <p>The coat looks really promising. I didn't like that it only has top entry pockets, though. That's a shame. Otherwise it would work really well for me also.&nbsp;</p> <p>So excited to hear your housing news.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-ordering#post-2139438 Wed, 19 Aug 2020 14:31:03 +0000 JAileen 2139438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-ordering#post-2139436 Wed, 19 Aug 2020 14:27:51 +0000 cindysmith 2139436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-ordering#post-2139425 Wed, 19 Aug 2020 13:37:53 +0000 Christina F. 2139425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shoot, I mis-categorized this post. Hoping Angie or Greg will fix it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-ordering#post-2139423 Wed, 19 Aug 2020 13:37:08 +0000 Christina F. 2139423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Yes, I'm still alive and have been lurking. I've been very focused on securing a new home! I may have news soon. Anyway, I have been following along with NAS and was ready to place an order right at the starting moment today.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>1. Avec les Filles raincoat - replacing a raincoat I just passed on. I like the color and print for fall.</div><div><br /> </div><div>2. Sofft mules - I have seen <b>Janet</b>'s good review. This will fill a need for me because I will soon be a person with outdoor space (fingers crossed)</div><div><br /> </div><div>3. Linea Paolo combat boots - I don't need boots; this is my pure "I don't need this but I fell in love with it" pick, and I am trying to limit myself to just one pick like that. (I am not a woman who needs more boots or winter coats, but those just call to me.)<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>4. Blanc Noir bomber - a bomber is a HEWI item for me.</div><div><br /> </div><div>I have a few other items I would kind of like (more boots, BP plaid shirt jacket), or love but need to talk myself out of right now (another winter coat). I may also some jewelry later on, and I'm ordering some of those towels <b>Angie</b> recommended, since I can replace a few towels before I move. I love lots of other home stuff, but I have no place to keep things for my future home in my current home, especially since we are both working from here...</div> </p>
