I envy all you ladies that can wear that and keep it white </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---emotional-shopping-ftw#post-2069495 Wed, 16 Oct 2019 22:42:49 +0000 Katerina 2069495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such great pieces you have found, Helena! I really like all of them.<br /> I hope you are feeling better and sending you lots of love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---emotional-shopping-ftw#post-2069402 Wed, 16 Oct 2019 16:52:47 +0000 Helena 2069402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much everyone! It was truly the George Costanza approach to shopping - do the opposite of my instinct lol! Or rather in my case, go with my instinct, but do not stop to have a debate with said instinct :D</p> <p>Glad everyone likes the cardi! I am looking forward to wearing it, and the plaid shirt. The white shirt feels like more of an 'essential' piece, and the Zara top is still in the bag ... still contemplating. Defo taking Angie's advice though and making a puffy sleeve sweater a priority to keep an eye out for.</p> <p>Glory, lemming away; I hope something works for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---emotional-shopping-ftw#post-2069395 Wed, 16 Oct 2019 16:35:43 +0000 RobinF 2069395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More love for the ON cardigan here. The color looks great on you and the v-neck works well. Love the jeans too. Nothing like a bit of retail therapy to perk me up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---emotional-shopping-ftw#post-2069384 Wed, 16 Oct 2019 16:12:30 +0000 Glory 2069384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these for you so keep and enjoy. Hope you are feeling a bit lifted from the doldrums. Like the lemming I am - checking on a couple of these and am especially interested in the ON Cardi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---emotional-shopping-ftw#post-2069381 Wed, 16 Oct 2019 16:01:27 +0000 Anonymous 2069381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything looks beautiful Helena, great picks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---emotional-shopping-ftw#post-2069277 Wed, 16 Oct 2019 04:01:04 +0000 kellygirl 2069277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, fab haul. I can totally relate to the retail therapy. It does help sometimes. Love the new jeans, the burgundy and the puffy sleeve sweaters. Great pieces to get into rotation. Enjoy and hope that you are feeling back to your normal self soon! Hugs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---emotional-shopping-ftw#post-2069275 Wed, 16 Oct 2019 03:55:14 +0000 Carla 2069275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wine V-neck, pink plaid, and button fly jeans get my vote! I particularly like that you are introducing a pattern (albeit very soft and low contrast) with the plaid. Hope you find the flannel was cozy as I’m finding mine on these cold days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---emotional-shopping-ftw#post-2069246 Wed, 16 Oct 2019 01:31:52 +0000 Christina F. 2069246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, target is met for sure! My favorites are the burgundy and OMG the jeans. You rock a button fly!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---emotional-shopping-ftw#post-2069239 Wed, 16 Oct 2019 01:16:09 +0000 fathenry 2069239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything looks great, looks like you did well. Love the jeans and the Zara sweater. Very fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---emotional-shopping-ftw#post-2069231 Wed, 16 Oct 2019 01:05:29 +0000 Jaime 2069231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jeans are perfect on you and I really like them with the burgundy v-neck. Not your usual neckline! Also like the Zara sweater on you. Your self-care was well deserved and not at all indulgent. Repeat to yourself three times! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---emotional-shopping-ftw#post-2069204 Wed, 16 Oct 2019 00:00:37 +0000 Angie 2069204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(((HUGS)))</p> <p>I hope you're feeling better, sweet <b>Helena.&nbsp;</b></p> <b><br /> </b> <p><b></b>LOVE THE JEANS. KILLER.&nbsp;</p> <p>Loooove the puffy sleeves, and think you need to milk it!&nbsp;</p> <p>Super cute plaid shirt and V-neck top too! You did REALLY well letting your emotions guide you :)<b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---emotional-shopping-ftw#post-2069183 Tue, 15 Oct 2019 22:54:04 +0000 Helena 2069183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, you're great with colour - what's your verdict on the black, a bit harsh? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---emotional-shopping-ftw#post-2069180 Tue, 15 Oct 2019 22:48:32 +0000 Suz 2069180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The burgundy is a total winner! Works really, really well. I also love you in the soft plaid. It's cozy and casual but also pretty. The off-white top is also great -- I know what you mean about feeling that something light "prettifies" a look. And the jeans look great from what I can tell. So much fun to have a fun splurge shop!!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---emotional-shopping-ftw#post-2069173 Tue, 15 Oct 2019 22:20:04 +0000 notsaf 2069173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Soft v looks great on you again — and is a super color!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---emotional-shopping-ftw#post-2069167 Tue, 15 Oct 2019 22:02:14 +0000 Cee 2069167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Supa-STAR !! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---emotional-shopping-ftw#post-2069165 Tue, 15 Oct 2019 21:47:22 +0000 Gigi 2069165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the texture on the first top. Texture like that makes me feel cozy!</p> <p>The burgundy top is amazing on you. Perfect color and style.</p> <p>I hear you on buying some lighter items for winter. It seems like everything is so dark in the stores! I'm trying to find some lighter-wash denim so that I can wear my dark tops and not feel like I'm just one dark column of color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---emotional-shopping-ftw#post-2069141 Tue, 15 Oct 2019 19:59:12 +0000 LaPed 2069141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My hands-down favourite is the burgundy v-neck!&nbsp;You seem to be hitting your soft and pretty target already. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---emotional-shopping-ftw#post-2069140 Tue, 15 Oct 2019 19:56:11 +0000 citygirldc 2069140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Been there, done that. :)&nbsp; Hugs to you. It's that time of year when I just want to sleep in and hibernate, but I do love the Fall and Winter clothing out there.&nbsp; Ohhh, I need to check out the Uniqlo mock neck sweater. It looks fab on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---emotional-shopping-ftw#post-2069137 Tue, 15 Oct 2019 19:35:00 +0000 Sal 2069137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry you have been feeling low- a big hug.</p> <p>I like these pieces especially the soft white and the pointelle - dressy warm tops are sooo useful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---emotional-shopping-ftw#post-2069126 Tue, 15 Oct 2019 19:27:43 +0000 Helena 2069126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone!</p> <p>Kathie, great point. I actually picked it up thinking it was ink blue, but alas ... hmm, I will sit with it for a while before de-tagging. I would likely not wear a scarf with it, but would wear earrings for sure.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---emotional-shopping-ftw#post-2069122 Tue, 15 Oct 2019 19:20:54 +0000 Bonnie 2069122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your guidelines and they worked! You found some wonderful tops and refreshed your wardrobe in one trip. Love the puffy sleeve top on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---emotional-shopping-ftw#post-2069113 Tue, 15 Oct 2019 18:38:27 +0000 Kathie 2069113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the plaid on you! Pretty, lovely colors, a bit different, but still your style. The cream and burgundy tops look great as well. I’m less enthused about the pointelle- I love the texture, and the ruched sleeves, but the black seems a bit harsh. Then again, it’s in comparison to the other items. And, you’re thinking evening/holiday wear, so darker can be good for those. Have you thought of accessories with it? Perhaps a scarf or jewelry that would add some brightness? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---emotional-shopping-ftw#post-2069107 Tue, 15 Oct 2019 18:24:05 +0000 Liesbeth 2069107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all the tops and think they're actually soft and pretty. Winter white, soft pink plaid, feminine puffy sleeves... yet still very you. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---emotional-shopping-ftw#post-2069103 Tue, 15 Oct 2019 18:16:38 +0000 rachylou 2069103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shaking it up! Super! I really like the puffy sleeves, first and last sweaters. I would, lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---emotional-shopping-ftw#post-2069087 Tue, 15 Oct 2019 17:41:22 +0000 Aquamarine 2069087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all look like winners to me. Soft and pretty, check. I especially like the plaid shirt on you...definitely a pretty plaid.</p> <p>Hope the whole exercise helped your mood a bit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---emotional-shopping-ftw#post-2069086 Tue, 15 Oct 2019 17:39:51 +0000 nemosmom 2069086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can I first comment how stunning you look in that burgundy color??&nbsp; It brightens your whole face. I am sorry you've been in a funk, and Cardiffgirl is right - sometimes you just gotta shop!! Everything you added looks great on you, and perfect for your life. I like your winter white mockneck with all of your navy. The puffy sleeve sweater would certainly check the box for "soft and pretty", so I do hope you find a great one. </p> <p>Hope things look up for you soon! xx</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---emotional-shopping-ftw#post-2069084 Tue, 15 Oct 2019 17:34:11 +0000 Helena 2069084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, Cardiffgirl, yes, I meant to mention that - I will definitely wear a cami under that top, but the blush bra actually helped show the detail on the top for the photo, so I just left it haha! I'm getting brazen in my old age </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---emotional-shopping-ftw#post-2069083 Tue, 15 Oct 2019 17:23:24 +0000 Cardiff girl 2069083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes a girl’s just got to shop!Hope that you felt better after that bit of retail therapy.I think that you will wear all these pieces so that’s a successful shop in my book and the pointelle sweater is very pretty,you might want to wear a flesh coloured bra underneath?or maybe not if it’s date night! </p>
