I think 95% cotton 5% elastene. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-january#post-2304804 Sat, 28 Jan 2023 13:44:42 +0000 ChristelJ 2304804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm laughing at your jeans comment! It really is a triumph to find the right fit, isn't it? All your new finds look great and super useful. Would love to see the Etsy bag when you get it; I am an Etsy fan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-january#post-2304803 Sat, 28 Jan 2023 13:33:24 +0000 kkards 2304803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Grrr…so sorry about the squirrels. &nbsp;It’s always something isn’t.&nbsp;</p> <p>But nice that you found some jeans that make you happy! &nbsp;And yay for finding something good at TJMaxx. It’s been a long time since I’ve shopped there, might need to stop in and have a look&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-january#post-2304782 Sat, 28 Jan 2023 11:15:37 +0000 Anonymous 2304782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! This is the first in the 19 years we owned this house that this happened with the squirrels at least. The tow driver said sometimes they chew on fuel lines too! I'm thinking about moving all the junk (moms and FILs mostly) in the garage over so I can put the car in there for now. Would be better with an automatic door opener though!</p> <p>I used to have more luck at TJ Maxx and Marshalls for bags, but this time most weren't even real leather. I'd like to have the leather worker make me something custom, but as it is, it'll be a month til he gets to my bag handles. The ones he had in the shop all had the flaps over, and I find those fussy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-january#post-2304764 Sat, 28 Jan 2023 03:41:08 +0000 slim cat 2304764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty new finds - love the joyful color of the new top and leather bag <br />(&nbsp;TJ Maxx and Marshall's are the best for the leather bags on a budget <br />&nbsp;:-) &nbsp;).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-january#post-2304761 Sat, 28 Jan 2023 03:13:32 +0000 Irina 2304761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Car wire eating squirrels?? OMG! And I thought we were unlucky - a few years ago squirrels ate wires on outdoor lights that we lovingly hang on our deck. Also ate tulips that were giving to me by my late mother.&nbsp;<div>Sorry, I got never ending squirrel issues!<br />Congrats on new items, especially jeans, finding a good fitting pair is huge.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-january#post-2304757 Sat, 28 Jan 2023 02:43:45 +0000 Tanya 2304757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those squirrels!&nbsp; Somebody should come up with squirrel insurance.</p> <p>It looks like you had a good month and found some excellent essentials.&nbsp; Great fitting jeans and comfy warm boots are hard to find.&nbsp; And one does need a good essential bag, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-january#post-2304755 Sat, 28 Jan 2023 02:36:41 +0000 Brooklyn 2304755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jeans that fit are priceless.

Glad you've found jeans that work, and great snow boots come in handy :)</p> <p>Very cheeky squirrels...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-january#post-2304711 Sat, 28 Jan 2023 00:26:31 +0000 Anonymous 2304711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz! My feet may have gotten a little longer, but the other ones TBH were always a bit tight. I could only wear them with very thin socks or hose.<br /> I Finally learned to size up with boots (and coats) to accommodate warm things underneath.<br /> Denying winter doesn't make it go away! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-january#post-2304709 Sat, 28 Jan 2023 00:19:11 +0000 Suz 2304709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look like great additions. You must be super happy to have found the boots at a decent price! Boots that fit are key and our feet definitely change. The jeans are a great find for you, too!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-january#post-2304706 Sat, 28 Jan 2023 00:04:51 +0000 Anonymous 2304706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since January is about over, and there won't be any more shopping this month (thanks to car wire eating squirrels :/ ), here's my WIB for the month. </p> <p>Aquatalia snowboots, thanks to Fabber Lili! They're warm and cozy, even though we haven't got snow yet. They're replacing a pair I had before that I loved the looks of, but were just too tight. Now my mom's fashionista neighbor friend is enjoying them :)</p> <p>Lysse jeans- boutique find. Jeans have been so historically problematic for me, but I'm super happy with these so far. They cover my Entire Backside, even when sitting! *heavens open/angels sing*</p> <p>American Leather Co tote- TJ Maxx, and out of desperation. The chain tarnished badly on my black tote, my brown and burgundy totes are with the leather worker, and the zip broke on the small purse I was using that day. It's a very basic bag, but at least it's real leather.</p> <p>N Touch top- boutique find. Color is a bit more red-orange irl. Super cozy and the color will be good for cold early spring days too. Wore it today with my old brown ponte pants and burgundy booties. </p> <p>I did make one more purchase, a print purse from an ETSY shop, but it supposedly won't arrive til Feb. </p> <p>Thanks for reading!</p> <p>ETA- picked up this beige sweater yesterday on consignment. Thinking I'll try the Vanilla Girl trend with that and my linen pants. </p>
