Next month would be the outfit lab and some experimentations.<br />I'm developing some attraction to soft pink recently - we will see if I'll be able to do more outfits with some of my older pieces in the mix.</p> <p><b>Angie</b> - I've got couple of cropped jeans altered ( the waist was dropped on my fav lower level ). I've already worn them and will post soon. I may just wait on the new jeans/pants until the fall and see what merchants will bring into the stores. <br />My shoes are probably just alright now - the new insoles fixed some fit' problem but the rest needs some professional/medical help. Hoping to see a doctor next month as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---affordable-summer-shopping#post-2190631 Wed, 28 Apr 2021 14:18:07 +0000 Helena 2190631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super pretty pieces! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---affordable-summer-shopping#post-2190601 Wed, 28 Apr 2021 13:26:13 +0000 Angie 2190601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Slim Cat,</b> can we help you with your jeans search?</p> <p>Also read on another thread that you need more comfy shoe options.

I got 2 Johnny Was tops, one ever worn still with tags and two pair pull on crops in black and in white. I got a small citron yellow colored bag and a sapphire blue linen EF cardigan that matches a sleeveless EF dress I already have and also matches a sleeveless silk EF top. I can’t wait for the weather to warm up, but sweaters and jackets must stay out for trips into the higher mountains in warmer weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---affordable-summer-shopping#post-2190501 Wed, 28 Apr 2021 02:20:29 +0000 Jaime 2190501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All very nice and I like the flares with sneakers too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---affordable-summer-shopping#post-2190351 Tue, 27 Apr 2021 17:11:19 +0000 Angie 2190351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wha<b></b>t <b>LisaP</b> said.

I tried top and skirt together in the fitting room and it looked good enough - but I'll need to experiment more with some contrasting tops ( and adjust the waist band - it's a bit loose ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---affordable-summer-shopping#post-2190326 Tue, 27 Apr 2021 15:52:23 +0000 Anonymous 2190326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s a very pretty bag . The 3 pieces make a nice little outfit on their own ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---affordable-summer-shopping#post-2190325 Tue, 27 Apr 2021 15:49:36 +0000 slim cat 2190325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was looking for navy blue pieces for my spring/summer collection ( neutral enough with some interest ). The goal was to add things that I can wear to work and after ( natural fabrication preferably ). I went to big mall and visited BR factory, EXPRESS, Marshall’s and ON. GAP factory was the easiest winner. This is what I’ve got: rayon sleeveless top with fan print ( white and pink/purple colors - perfect for now ), rayon midi skirt with small polka dots ( a little loose but fixable) and Sakroots Crossbody bag with white, black and blue/pink in the print - instant wardrobe essential .<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.gapfactory.com/browse/product.do?pid=680541001&amp;cid=1174316&amp;pcid=1042791&amp;vid=1&amp;grid=pds_34_36_1#pdp-page-content">https://www.gapfactory.com/bro.....ge-content</a> </p> <p></p> </p>
