I know Maya has had mixed results. They will, however, alter for free. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose/page/2#post-387425 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 00:11:05 +0000 Mo 387425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, as it turns out, I will end up with c) none of the above! I found a few boot measurements (they are never the same, incidentally) that put these boots about an inch larger around than my current cognac ones that barely fit my scrawny calves. So it ends up the bra, belt, and boots are all too big. Argghh. But if anyone wants some Fryes for $175 instead of the retailed $600 have at it!! <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&#038;item=120749121437&#038;ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA.....K:MEWAX:IT</a></p> <p>I am now officially on a bra quest with the remainder of my shopping budget from these returns. BRA or BUST ha ha. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose/page/2#post-387370 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 22:58:09 +0000 Jennionthefarm 387370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops, sorry, Mo! Didn't read the posts well enough. Perhaps a seamstress could alter a bra for you. I love the boots but a good bra is essential:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose/page/2#post-387356 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 22:45:41 +0000 Aida 387356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo I think you can find boots you like often because many boots have lots of fun hardware detailing (and zippers!) I say hold out and keep looking for a bra and when you find one that fits, get a few! I need to do this myself; I'd give up a pair of boots for fab bras and I'm totally 500000% a shoe gal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose/page/2#post-387255 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 20:31:53 +0000 Lisa 387255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote bra and belt. Especially since you already have boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose/page/2#post-387251 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 20:26:05 +0000 Mo 387251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thx, Rita, I live in an out of the way place in FL right now and will soon move back to an out of the way place in the CA mountains lol! Maybe on our cross country road trip I can make a stop in Atlanta or some other big city along the way for bra shopping - my BF will think I've lost my mind! Is there one in San Francisco? That's only 3 1/2 hours from our CA house. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose/page/2#post-387244 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 20:22:47 +0000 modgrl 387244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have an intimacy near you? They carry a wider range of sizes and may have something that fits you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose/page/2#post-387242 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 20:19:56 +0000 Mo 387242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jennionthefarm, as I said, Nordie's fitter only had 4 to choose from (2 being identical in different colors) and none worked :(<br /> I have found brands over the years who's shapes I like, but most of them don't make size 30. I'm finding 30D cups are way differently shaped than the sister size 32C I make do with. I'll continue searching at some point but feel pretty fed up right now. I mailed off 2 near miss bras just last month to other forum members. Seems I've been doing this search for like a decade now . . .</p> <p>Still eagerly awaiting the belt, hoping for an uplifting, great fitting, delivery! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose#post-387224 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 19:52:56 +0000 Jennionthefarm 387224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you used a bra fitter? I had one at Penney's last fall and it made a big difference. She was much better at finding ones that would work and figuring out if they fit well or not. I probably won't buy bras again without a bra fitter's assistance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose#post-387174 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 18:27:54 +0000 DressLover 387174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That stinks, Mo. Bras are worse than jeans. I hope the belt works. Hey, look at it this way - money saved for fall purchases! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose#post-387172 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 18:24:36 +0000 Mo 387172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Much ado about nothing - the bra doesn't fit. I shouldn't be surprised. No bra fits The one time I got to actually try on size 30 bands last month, only 4 were to be found in all of Nordstroms. I feel like Goldilocks. Simone Perele 30D was too small, Panache 30DD was too big - Betsey Johnson 30D was spaced too far apart. Sigh. Where is my just right? Back it goes . . .<br /> Still waiting on the belt sometime today. If it doesn't fit, I'm back to the boots, or maybe zilch! argh </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose#post-386878 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 12:57:29 +0000 Freckles 386878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with the two bra vote. Maybe one in a fun colour? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose#post-386837 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 07:37:51 +0000 sunnycloud78 386837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i voted boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose#post-386820 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 06:07:50 +0000 Marley 386820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A good bra is golden. Get the bra! There are zillions - yes, zillions of great boots out there! You will always be able to find a pair of boots that you love. But a perfect fitting bra? As I said earlier - it is golden. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose#post-386814 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 05:45:34 +0000 Kate 386814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the bra. If it will be your one and only size 30, I might even ditch the belt and just get two bras. </p> <p>Remember, shopping isn't just about the hunt! It matters how much you use the things that you buy, not just how great of a deal the stuff you don't use was. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose#post-386811 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 05:43:36 +0000 Refugee 386811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hate when I have to choose between something that is going to make more of my wardrobe look fab that no one is going to see and something everyone is going to see with a few outfits. So, even though it hard for me to say, get the bra. It will make a bigger difference, even if most people won't know it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose#post-386796 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 04:57:46 +0000 rae 386796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mmm, 7-8 pairs of boots is decent enough that I'd hold out for a great bra even if this one isn't your glass slipper. If the girls ain't happy, nobody's happy... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose#post-386795 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 04:53:44 +0000 Steph 386795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess bra and boots, ditch the belt, is not an option? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose#post-386792 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 04:49:33 +0000 modgrl 386792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Get the bra, it sounds like you need one that fits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose#post-386789 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 04:41:34 +0000 catgirl 386789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go for the bra! There are so many boots out there to love, and you have yet to use your new pair. But a good bra bargain should not be passed up... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose#post-386778 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 04:28:27 +0000 Jenava 386778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such suspense! LOL... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose#post-386768 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 04:16:06 +0000 Mo 386768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, Rae, it's a tough one for me too! I have enough boots (7 or 8 of varying heights and colors) but one can always find room for a new color to join the group! And, yes, I plan to be back in Tahoe this winter. But, a bra that fits would be gold. As you know first hand, I've had a few near misses But I've never actually tried on a bra that really fits me. So I guess it all boils down to whether the bra is my glass slipper tomorrow. If not, back it goes and I will begin dreaming of boots. But if it fits, it's a keeper. Stay tuned! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose#post-386580 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 23:39:31 +0000 rae 386580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cognac boots aren't your only boots, are they? And you're still going back to cold weather soon? </p> <p>This is a tough one for me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose#post-386490 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 21:25:23 +0000 rachylou 386490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I'd pass on the belt too. I'd go with the boots unless I were in desperate need of a bra. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose#post-386489 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 21:16:06 +0000 Joha 386489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for bra and belt here. </p> <p>I'm having so many issues right now with all my worn out bras. Outfits, that were fab a year ago are now looking wrong (gaping holes in blouses, funny marks on shirts etc). </p> <p>So yes, I vote for bra and belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose#post-386425 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 19:41:27 +0000 Aziraphale 386425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say bra and belt. Foundations are more important than extras, and it sounds like you already have an equivalent boot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose#post-386422 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 19:39:55 +0000 Rachel 386422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sucks having to choose between something fun and something practical but I have to with bra and belt. If you haven't worn the other pair yet then there really is no point duplicating even if they are in a different colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose#post-386413 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 19:23:37 +0000 DressLover 386413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bra for sure. I totally understand that bras aren't the most fun purchase because no one sees them (er, almost no one!), but everyone sees the results of a good bra. A proper fit truly enhances every outfit, so I believe bras are the best clothing investment you can make. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose#post-386385 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 18:18:49 +0000 CocoLion 386385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go with the bra. Chantelle at 1/2 off is a good deal. Did you check all the nice bras on sale at NAS? They have all the good bras that never go on sale, on sale right now. Maybe not 1/2 off but good deals. I just ordered a Natori myself.</p> <p>I'd pass on the belt, I think you can find something similar if you wait, for less.</p> <p>Pass on the boots too if they are redundant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose#post-386383 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 18:14:13 +0000 Briar 386383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IMO, a good bra will make all outfits look better and the belt is versatile. The boots are def drool worthy, but let the price gratification go and wear the new ones you have. </p>
