Aw, thanks Cindysmith! I’m having darts put in the bodice, because I don’t fill it out. Haven’t clipped the tags, could still send it back. If I do, I’ll chalk it up in the “fail” column, but so far I’m optimistic about the dress, really like how it fit from the (short) waist on down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whoopsie#post-2057095 Sun, 01 Sep 2019 01:11:02 +0000 cindysmith 2057095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, if you were gonna have an "oops", at least you did it right. I agree that these pieces feel like you, and I think they're adorable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whoopsie#post-2057094 Sun, 01 Sep 2019 01:10:41 +0000 cindysmith 2057094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, if you were gonna have an "oops", at least you did it right.

The dress is at the seamstress right now. I should've picked it up already, but it's been hot out lately, and I don't want to arrive sweaty to try it on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whoopsie#post-2057070 Sat, 31 Aug 2019 22:01:47 +0000 Sal 2057070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jumpsuits in particular the pink and white - I have just bought one in a similar style but mine is black. Nice flat walking footwear too.</p> <p>You were looking at altering the green patterned dress - did you get it sorted? I do like that print a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whoopsie#post-2057058 Sat, 31 Aug 2019 20:19:27 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2057058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Nemo, rachylou, and Sterling. I might have actually hit the sweet spot this summer. Local makers will only sweeten it more. </p> <p>Cardiff, not sure which jumpsuit you mean, but thanks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whoopsie#post-2057045 Sat, 31 Aug 2019 17:02:35 +0000 Anonymous 2057045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whoopsie#post-2056965 Sat, 31 Aug 2019 02:11:06 +0000 rachylou 2056965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These all seem very good purchases. And neither too much or too little. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whoopsie#post-2056954 Fri, 30 Aug 2019 23:43:49 +0000 Cardiff girl 2056954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look nice.l particularly liked the look of that jumpsuit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whoopsie#post-2056830 Fri, 30 Aug 2019 14:33:33 +0000 nemosmom 2056830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely haul, Fashintern! Sounds like they are flattering AND functional! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whoopsie#post-2056804 Fri, 30 Aug 2019 12:53:09 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2056804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Bijou! Good point about the toppers. I guess the coral jumpsuit is confined to white cardi island. I was really intrigued and pleased at how well that color works on me--it isn't one I usually wear, and it somehow made it look like I had a tan. But you're right--the others will mix well with toppers for shoulder season (or in case of aggressive fans!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whoopsie#post-2056800 Fri, 30 Aug 2019 12:46:19 +0000 Bijou 2056800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well all of these look so very you! Adding toppers will take these into Autumn easily. Keeping the berry colour theme for summer and winter makes sense, as then your toppers work with summer dresses and jumpsuits on those transitional days in Autumn and Spring. I really hope they fit well and are good late summer additions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whoopsie#post-2056792 Fri, 30 Aug 2019 12:28:38 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2056792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>So much for my decisions not to shop this summer, and that when I did get back to it, I would buy from local makers or second hand. I seem to have slipped and fallen into some Zalando orders.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>I have to laugh at myself for that and because, as much as I insist that the berries color scheme is for feeling cozy in the winter, half of what I have here fits in with it very well.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>There are two different sizes here; I've worn each of them at some point this summer. The dresses are somewhat short-waisted, as am I with my current pot belly. I think they make me look leggy in a good way. Everything is comfortable and breezy (a little too much sometimes--at a school function, I had to ask a mom wearing hijab to switch places with me because of a fan blowing at my bare back. She was gracious enough to do so.) and feels good with my sandals or Børns (Oxfords or Derbies? I always forget), which are not new.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>I tried a few pairs of bronze sandals, but none of them worked for my feet; they were the right size (length-wise) but the wrong shapes for my feet. Darn.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>Previously this year, I purchased a blackberry cardigan, paisley blouse that goes with everything, 3/4 sleeve cream top, and red bell-bottom jeans. Eight months into the year, nine purchases. I don't feel like I'm scrimping or splurging, although I've learned I like shoes more than I realized. So many good pink ones are on sale now, from German shoemakers--must go make some money!!<br /> </div> </p>
