I love the outdoor malls in Seattle -- it seems so counter-intuitive, since all we hear about is your horrible weather, but it makes me think you are all hardy people out there in the PNW. <br />That Triumph tee is fantastic. I'd wear that under my Reiss blazer with skinny jeans and black chelsea boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-shopping-27oct#post-1384840 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 13:09:03 +0000 Suz 1384840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Ann, those Athleta pants are calling my name!! Darn, they don't ship to Canada, the rascals, but I may have to order them anyway and have them shipped to the border. Love your huggable poncho/ jacket and of course you know I love the winter white sweater.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-shopping-27oct#post-1384819 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 12:00:01 +0000 Janet 1384819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great finds! I love that white sweater on you. And yes, Athleta pants have proven to be a workhorse for me! Yeah, I've gotten sucked into Lucky a few times too -- although I've usually managed to purchase tees for my husband there. I need one of those tees with an Indian logo (that's what hubs rides)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-shopping-27oct#post-1384805 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 10:11:53 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1384805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great report Dashielle. &nbsp;I am seriously thinking about the BR high low sweater. &nbsp;Just not sure what size to order. &nbsp;I ordered a bunch of Gap merino sweaters this year and range from M to XL to get drape right. &nbsp;GAH </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-shopping-27oct#post-1384756 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 06:57:54 +0000 shemarie 1384756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun...thanks for sharing your trip highlights in the name of research! Love all of your wonderful pieces...and I've been eyeing those Athleta pants from the catalog too.&nbsp; Can't wait to see how you style them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-shopping-27oct#post-1384734 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 04:15:18 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1384734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the tour and review, Ann! I'm really wondering if I need those track pants! They sound awesome. I could wear them on an upcoming trip. I love it--workout gear and dinner attire all in one. <br />You look beautiful in your outfit with the Eileen Fisher cape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-shopping-27oct#post-1384733 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 04:14:02 +0000 Jeanie 1384733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your reporting and all the pieces you found. &nbsp;I think I need to try that BR sweater. &nbsp;I would love a furry cape that attracts hugs...sadly, not available. &nbsp;Keep the reports coming! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-shopping-27oct#post-1384680 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 02:36:51 +0000 Debbie 1384680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your research! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-shopping-27oct#post-1384676 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 02:32:22 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1384676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie! You know me too well :-/<br /> Jackie, the only thing for it is a shopping trip to Seattle! Come on down, Thenweather is fine...well, maybe not, but come anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-shopping-27oct#post-1384634 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 01:26:30 +0000 jackiec 1384634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're awesome! I love reading your "research" and buys ;)</p> <p>Wow those sweat pants look and sound so so great. Ah I wish we had Athleta here in Canada. They won't even ship here without a US credit card so no such luck. I'd love to just pop in to try things on :(</p> <p>I haven't had a chance to comment on your other thread but I love you in that winter white turtleneck. Am I right in that you picked it up?<div><br /></div><div>Can't wait to see you model your purchases.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-shopping-27oct#post-1384628 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 01:10:35 +0000 Angie 1384628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're an amusing writer, Ann. Fun to read, Bike Gal. I LOVE the pieces. The high-low pullover from BR is a top pick. It has a fun woven back, and is a great fit. I adore you in that EF poncho.&nbsp;</p> <p>Cat hair repelling pieces are quite the find in your house aren't they. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-shopping-27oct#post-1384606 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 00:06:54 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1384606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went out on a rainy Sunday to do some "research" (that's it, it's science!) in one of our nicer open-air malls. I like to see what is on offer, provide feedback to you whenever possible and work on one or two of my HEWIs.<br /> Outfit was simple, zip up moto boots, EF poncho and long sleeve white layering tee w/ jeans. I tried another option for shopping, but decided it was too warm. I have this funky, faux fur, cape thingy from Dolce Vita a few years ago that always gets many hug offers, but at the mall, not appropriate. Sorry, no longer available though I found it on Nordstrom site from back when.</p> <p>#3 Popped into Madewell and I think I found my Winter white sweater (yay!). At BR, I found a fab v-neck, ink, mixed media, high/low pullover sweater with a blousey back to add to my tiny oversized sweater capsule (I have piles of body con, sad face).<br /> #5 Next I bopped into Athleta. Who among us has not loved one of their pieces above all others? I tried on a bunch of white/creamish tops...no dice. On a whim I grabbed some slouchy, floaty track pants to try, and let me tell you, these are the ones to end all! Hear me out. The outer fabric is a silky featherweight stretch poly and they are lined with stretch jersey for warmth. Rib knit waist and ankle cuffs. I can wear them as loungewear at home, as the outer fabric sheds cat hair, or I can go for a run outside and stay warm.  I can throw them on with heels and a nice top and go to work or dinner etc. The drawstring is a nice thin ribbon with little metal ends that hang decoratively, but don't add bulk where it's not wanted.  Too easy...if you're remotely interested in an all purpose warm pant, I highly recommend them. #6 Last stop, Lucky. I don't normally shop there, but they pulled me in with a Triumph display (sucka!) and I had to have this cute tee.  More outfit pics to come featuring the new pieces! </p>
