Do you think your measurements match the size listed on their size chart? Is that the size you buy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-323-326-catching-up-in-reverse-order#post-1206849 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 18:17:26 +0000 MsMary 1206849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, thanks for all the great feedback, ladies!</p> <p>I did feel a little... earthbound in my flats yesterday.&nbsp; But it was great to be able to walk so comfortably, that's for sure!</p> <p>JAileen, it's not owls on the scarf, it's C's for Coach.&nbsp; I couldn't find a photo online, but here's a wallet with the same print.&nbsp; It's from a few years ago and they call it "Pop C." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-323-326-catching-up-in-reverse-order#post-1206709 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 16:10:27 +0000 Marmee 1206709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing! &nbsp;#3 blew me away. &nbsp;And I love those colors in #4. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-323-326-catching-up-in-reverse-order#post-1206703 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 16:06:30 +0000 Em 1206703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your outfits with the pencil skirts, MaryK, particularly<br /> the 2nd one. The scarf is very pretty and pulls all the colors<br /> together. Hey, nothing wrong with formulas that work! I strongly believe in<br /> them myself. No need to reinvent the hot water.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>It was helpful to me that you mentioned these were Halogen<br /> skirts. One would think it should be easy to find a pencil skirt, but it really<br /> isn’t. I came across a Halogen skirt in the Rack some time ago. I liked it very<br /> much and I was looking at others on Nordstrom’s site. Your pictures confirm my<br /> opinion about these pencil skirts being a dependable good fit. The only weird<br /> part is that the skirt I did buy is a size 6, but when I look at the measurements<br /> online for the VERY SAME skirt, it looks like I should buy 8 or even 10! While<br /> I’ve been buying some 8’s lately (unfortunately), I’m yet to buy a 10. I guess<br /> I could (maybe even a 12), but I can’t really afford those.;-) Same goes for<br /> all measurements online, though… I just don’t understand what the deal is –<br /> what is it that they measure and what do I do differently?! There are a couple<br /> of other cases I’ve noticed just like that – the actual piece of clothing I<br /> bought from a brick-and-mortar store is a 6, but if I were to buy it online,<br /> they’d make me believe I need to order AT LEAST an 8. I just don’t get it…</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-323-326-catching-up-in-reverse-order#post-1206597 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 13:49:48 +0000 Angie 1206597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've missed you.&nbsp;</p> <p>Fun to see you in flats.
