MILD vis a vis the time of year. Mild for November. Of *course* it's not mild for May or June or even September. &nbsp;But thank you all for your comments here - I really like this kind of clothing ...throw it on , no tucking and fussing and adjusting. &nbsp;It's -8C this morning , and I'm throwing on a puffer to head to the gym &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1017-mpg-ftw/page/2#post-1862064 Mon, 20 Nov 2017 14:14:44 +0000 Zibbets 1862064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it all on you!

I like the pieces you got, and even though the pants are cropped you're making me want some. I love the idea of casual pinstripe.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1017-mpg-ftw/page/2#post-1862020 Mon, 20 Nov 2017 12:55:19 +0000 Bijou 1862020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit, but I think this is something that I would be wearing at 18C, not -1C. My goodness, I would be wearing layers of puffer coats! This is indeed a great label and does not look like gear to me. When I say I don't like wearing gear out and about, I am thinking of gym tights/Skins and sports tops, not beautiful clothes like this. I am such a lover of coloured seam binding, it really highlights the great construction of this coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1017-mpg-ftw/page/2#post-1862011 Mon, 20 Nov 2017 12:26:18 +0000 Angie 1862011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY. </p> <p>Thrilled you've found pieces from a new local brand that ticks off your boxes, <b>Lisa. </b>The trousers and tee are a flattering fit. Streamlining and versatile. Easy to wear and provide a great canvas for layering and accessories. LOVE the pinstripe on the pants.&nbsp;</p> <p>The faux fur scarf and burgundy accents make the look, to my eye. The grey and black come alive with the non-neutral and texture. Fabulous touch. And Killer earrings.&nbsp;</p> <p><i>(p.s. I LAUGHED at your description of mild weather at -1C. My description of mild weather is18C.

Honestly , if their clothes weren’t so good /nice , I’d be turned off and not buying because of the wacky sizing . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1017-mpg-ftw/page/2#post-1861695 Sun, 19 Nov 2017 02:04:13 +0000 Elizabeth P 1861695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh good! My jacket is a large. For some reason I thought you’d said yours was an XL, so was thinking it might run quite small. Maybe it will work, given yours is a bit oversized on you. Will know soon enough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1017-mpg-ftw/page/2#post-1861691 Sun, 19 Nov 2017 00:23:12 +0000 Anonymous 1861691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't subscribe to that theory, but go nuts if you do!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1017-mpg-ftw/page/2#post-1861689 Sun, 19 Nov 2017 00:19:16 +0000 Marilyn 1861689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No such thing as too many shoes or handbags.&nbsp; :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1017-mpg-ftw/page/2#post-1861683 Sun, 19 Nov 2017 00:05:09 +0000 Jenni NZ 1861683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool.

What can I say as well with my large number of shoes including boots? I remember when I bought my fave tall boots in 2011 I said to the SA " well I really like my feet as they're the only part of me that hasn't got fatter!" She looked at me sorrowfully and said "Goodness women are so hard on themselves". I do see what she was saying and have tried to accept my body better since then with moderate success.<br /> One issue is that shoes DON'T always fit, any more. Pretty good, but I can't tolerate much discomfort these days. I also don't like them looking too worn but our climate is much kinder on shoes that Manitoba's is! And I don't perceive datedness as much as you do. I guess as I don't work in the fashion industry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1017-mpg-ftw/page/2#post-1861673 Sat, 18 Nov 2017 23:06:06 +0000 Anonymous 1861673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni - you'd be right in that. I do have more boots than I should. &nbsp;What can I say? They always fit and don't put me in a bad mood, which clothes do &nbsp;In our climate too &nbsp;, unless I really baby them, they don't look great after their first season. &nbsp;I'm kind of particular about immaculate shoes . I have to be careful not to overbuy footwear because it dates quickly to my eye .&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1017-mpg-ftw/page/2#post-1861666 Sat, 18 Nov 2017 22:37:53 +0000 Jenni NZ 1861666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing Lisa. My faves are the faux fur scarf, the coat, and the boots. I feel maybe you have quite a few boots? I keep going to the Nordstrom site to look again at those olive Sole Society suede boots with the gold studs that I think you bought when we were having an earlier shoe conversation? I really like them and they are very reasonable in NZ$ at present. I've only shipped shoes across the world once ( vintage from Etsy, from Maryland to NZ) and it doesn't sit well with me. So maybe they're only on a fantasy wish list </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1017-mpg-ftw/page/2#post-1861663 Sat, 18 Nov 2017 22:14:27 +0000 Anonymous 1861663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elizabeth - I did order the pants in a large , and my order went through ok, but then showed up on backoeder when my order ( more stuff - the blazer in another size) &nbsp;arrived . Guess they went out of stock right when I was ordering . Let me know if you get them ! What size did you order in the jacket ? Mine’s an L, and plenty roomy .</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1017-mpg-ftw/page/2#post-1861659 Sat, 18 Nov 2017 21:48:11 +0000 Elizabeth P 1861659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit on you, Lisa. Totally nailed it, and that scarf is such a great addition. The crop pants look great with the boots. As I mentioned nbefore, I struggle with crop I. The winter, so it’s great to see an e amp,e of hoe it can work. I think my problem is I love bare ankles with crop pants too much. </p> <p>You have totally got me interested in trying some of this line. In fact, I just ordered the top and jacket, both on sale at the bay. The coat may be small for me, only one size left, but at least I’ll know if I want to order it from the company, with no free returns </p> <p>Thanks also for the pant sizing info. I am a size up from you, so looks like I’d need a large. There are some on the website, btw. </p> <p>Oh, and... -1... mild? Yikes. You are tough! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1017-mpg-ftw/page/2#post-1861598 Sat, 18 Nov 2017 15:12:40 +0000 Anonymous 1861598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smittie - The Bay doesn’t carry the casual wear , or at least the one here doesn't , only the workout stuff .

I haven’t worn 0’s and 2’s in quite a few years now . These particular pants are sold in S/M/L and I’m wearing an M . I wanted to pick up a larger size to also have on hand &nbsp;(the M is not comfortable on the waist , really, but I had already taken the tickets off and worn them for a few hours before I decided that) but they seem to be sold out at the moment . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1017-mpg-ftw/page/2#post-1861596 Sat, 18 Nov 2017 15:09:16 +0000 Anonymous 1861596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this on you Lisa!<br /> I keep wanting to check out this Mondetta but keep forgetting to venture into the Bay (not my favourite.

I keep thinking about faux fur scarves and net bite the bullet because they seem difficult to drape and such.</p> <p>The next phase of my journey is to upgrade my cute-running-around-town athleisure looks.
