A fabulous pick and even better on a sale price. Agreeing the pants no longer fit well and need to be moved on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---and-a-review-and-a-question/page/2#post-1494471 Thu, 21 May 2015 11:46:18 +0000 frannieb 1494471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The vest is freaking fabulous. &nbsp;Love the whole outfit.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---and-a-review-and-a-question/page/2#post-1494376 Thu, 21 May 2015 02:44:58 +0000 Debbie 1494376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The white vest looks amazing on you. I agree that those pants do not do you justice. That tunic has your name written all over it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---and-a-review-and-a-question/page/2#post-1494191 Wed, 20 May 2015 19:21:49 +0000 Inge 1494191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, the trousers have been sorted:-)</p> <p>And good thing you decided to keep the vest, Sveta, I would have been extremely miffed if you'd sent it back!!!<br />The black version looked amazing on you in London, but my word, the white one is even better. Elegant, unique and utterly gorgeous. I have a feeling it's going to be a workhorse for you.<br />(agree with Angie, that the lilac sweater is a seriously flattering colour on you as well).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---and-a-review-and-a-question/page/2#post-1494175 Wed, 20 May 2015 19:06:55 +0000 Aida 1494175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another voice to the choir of Great Vest! Totally meant to be, so glad you were able to get it. I don't find the trousers too big but then I used to have a similarly fitting pair of wide legs trousers myself (now retired, sadly). You really have to want that as The Look though, it can be overwhelming quickly. I think you'll be much happier right now with a pair that's more fitted through the thigh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---and-a-review-and-a-question/page/2#post-1494172 Wed, 20 May 2015 19:01:30 +0000 celia 1494172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a beautiful outfit. I am so glad you stalked that vest because it is perfect for you.<br />I don't think the pants are too big but I tend to like them a little bit wider. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---and-a-review-and-a-question#post-1494168 Wed, 20 May 2015 18:53:18 +0000 Tanya 1494168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>He he Sveta, I have decided that I want the tunic at the same time, when someone posted the fashion show pictures a while ago.&nbsp; I have been checking the BR site obsessively ever since every time they got new arrivals to see if the tunic is finally available.&nbsp; I am definitely going with white:)</p> <p>I will be helping a friend shop for a suit this weekend and we might stray into BR It will be a long weekend here in US and BR is supposed to have 40% everything.&nbsp; I do not buy anything from them full price these days as the discounts are so common and frequent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---and-a-review-and-a-question#post-1494160 Wed, 20 May 2015 18:40:26 +0000 CocoLion 1494160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this Spring outfit! &nbsp;You and ClearlyClaire get the top storyteller award of YLF. &nbsp;How you can turn a shopping experience into one with all of key dramatic elements ... love at first sight (meeting the vest), loss (walking away from the vest), regret (vest not in right color), suspense (vest sold out, then -- finding it again -- and, will it work?), and finally a happy ending! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---and-a-review-and-a-question#post-1494154 Wed, 20 May 2015 18:24:40 +0000 Sveta 1494154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle - thanks!<br />Tanya, you and me HAVE to have this tunic, aren't we? I was waiting for it ever since I saw&nbsp;it on BR fashion show pictures way back but it was not available in the store until very recently. &nbsp;The only problem I have that I cannot decide if I should get white or black...<br />Angie, you can shop for this tunic in London because it will be AFTER you leave on the trip :-)<br />Elizabeth, maybe I shop there WAY more than you do (even though I return 80% of the stuff) If you PM me your email&nbsp;I can forward you the email I got last week.<br />Actually this orchid linen sweater from JCrew is pretty big on me now too. I cannot remember if it was that big to start with or if it stretched out that much. Does anybody else who got it last year have the same issue? I wish I went for size M last year instead of L... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---and-a-review-and-a-question#post-1494125 Wed, 20 May 2015 18:06:10 +0000 Thistle 1494125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vest was meant to be yours, particularly after all that stalking and thinking!&nbsp; Gorgeous on you, and I know it won't be orphaned </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---and-a-review-and-a-question#post-1494123 Wed, 20 May 2015 18:02:42 +0000 Elizabeth P 1494123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really?&nbsp; I'm pretty diligent at checking those. I almost wonder if you get different sales than I do, because I went back through the emails after the last one (that you got the vest on) and couldn't find one with no exclusions.&nbsp; </p> <p>All together now:&nbsp; GRRRRRR!!!</p> <p>But you've upped my optimism that I WILL get a sale! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---and-a-review-and-a-question#post-1494104 Wed, 20 May 2015 17:20:00 +0000 Tanya 1494104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, the vest looks fantastic on you!&nbsp; Gorgeous with the orchid sweater.&nbsp; I was going to say that I would get rid of the too-big pants, but I see you have already decided.</p> <p>That BR white eyelet tunic has been on my wish list for a while as well, I am afraid I am going to give in to the temptation and get it one of these days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---and-a-review-and-a-question#post-1494102 Wed, 20 May 2015 17:14:55 +0000 Angie 1494102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And now I want that white eyelet tunic. Blast. I am not allowed to shop until we leave for our trip in two weeks.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---and-a-review-and-a-question#post-1494095 Wed, 20 May 2015 17:00:46 +0000 Sveta 1494095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies! <br />Opinions are divided on the trousers but of course Angie's vote decided their fate. I had these trousers for 3 seasons already, with first 2 years of pretty heavy wear and a lighter wear last year when they "grew" too large for me. They also do not look as pristine anymore so our p[arting is not that hard. The hardest decision is should I shop for another pair of flared or bootcut jeans / pants for this summer or make do with what I alredy have...:-)<br />Thanks for the love for my new pet! Angie, don't worry - I am goung to keep it safe under lock and key! :-)<br />Elizabeth, can you imagine that BR DID have a no exclusion one day sale last week and I missed it by just a day because I was away on the business trip! I am frustrated because I was stalking this shirt which is usually excluded (btw how gorgeous it would be with this vest, right?)<br />OK, have to get back to work - talk to you later! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---and-a-review-and-a-question#post-1494071 Wed, 20 May 2015 16:17:25 +0000 Anonymous 1494071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---and-a-review-and-a-question#post-1494070 Wed, 20 May 2015 16:13:13 +0000 catgirl 1494070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course this vest is perfect on you.

It was MEANT to be yours. Keep it safe - most of the forum wants to steal it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Honey-pie, the trousers do seem very big. I vote retire them. You've had a good run.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---and-a-review-and-a-question#post-1494008 Wed, 20 May 2015 13:59:37 +0000 texstyle 1494008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The vest is fantastic Sveta - just perfect, worth the wait and effort for sure!&nbsp; I think the pants look great, it's a lovely outfit on you all around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---and-a-review-and-a-question#post-1494004 Wed, 20 May 2015 13:53:02 +0000 Daria 1494004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Sveta, what a great story with happy ending!

So, obviously, I like them on you. Nice contrast with the structure of the soft leather vest, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---and-a-review-and-a-question#post-1493971 Wed, 20 May 2015 11:48:34 +0000 Elizabeth P 1493971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness, that VEST!&nbsp; I'm almost tempted to order it at full price, just to see if it works, then keep the tags on to see if there is another no exclusions sale, then order again and return the full priced one.&nbsp; Yes, these are the games I play.&nbsp; You saying that it can zipper closed on both zippers has pretty much put me over the edge.&nbsp; I LOVE it.</p> <p>Anyway, this is about you, isn't it! :)&nbsp; I love your vest :)&nbsp; I think the pants will definitely do you another summer... they look fluid, not big.&nbsp; And lose is always better in the summer, and with white.&nbsp; </p> <p>I also had missed the part where you met up with Inge in London... how fun!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---and-a-review-and-a-question#post-1493970 Wed, 20 May 2015 11:41:34 +0000 unfrumped 1493970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All looks good to me.
