I am on the hunt for comfy modern flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new-1#post-1356034 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 21:51:31 +0000 shiny 1356034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my, I meant DOLMAN sleeves but I was having a senior moment and also have bats on the brain lately. Glad you all knew what I meant!</p> <p><b>Reneeb:</b>&nbsp;I haven't even been in The Limited in years, and the last time I bought anything there, it was for my daughters, not me. But I am always looking out for new petite options, so I figured it was worth a try. I'd say the quality is just "okay" -- but since the fit was perfection, I am more than&nbsp;satisfied with okay! I also think the prices were totally appropriate for the quality.</p> <p>As for the Jcrew monk straps, they are very comfortable! However I did get a blister the other day, but I was wearing them sans socks, because I don't have any peds right now. I got the blister on just one foot, outer toe, and this was after trouncing for hours in them... a long long walk. I suspect that they just need a bit of breaking in, or stretching just for that one foot, or peds or knee highs or socks&nbsp;would completely eliminate the blister problem. No rubbing anywhere else.&nbsp;The leather quality is to die for. Overall, they are a very good fit for my foot, I think. Also I suspect they could even handle an insert - I tried with mine (the one I use in my athletic sneakers)&nbsp;but it's just a tad too thick.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new-1#post-1355771 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 14:16:24 +0000 jackiec 1355771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits are great - but you absolutely shine in #2 Purple looks outstanding on you! And the cognac accents are perfection. Great shoes/bag combo. Wow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new-1#post-1355615 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 04:16:51 +0000 catgirl 1355615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2 is a total win! Great top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new-1#post-1355575 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 03:02:52 +0000 Reneeb 1355575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love outfit #2. The purple sweater is a pretty color and fits great. I need to check out the petite line at The Limted. (5'1" &nbsp;here). The shoes are so cool. Are they comfortable? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new-1#post-1355521 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 01:52:28 +0000 rabbit 1355521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echoing the love for #2, I really like browns and dark purples together, and everything works together so well and flatters you. &nbsp; Although it's hard to tell in the light, it looks like the top in #1 is good with your hair color as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new-1#post-1355518 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 01:51:40 +0000 Anonymous 1355518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is 2. Purple and cognac. Be still my heart.<br /> I also like 1 and the proportions as I imagine they look. The top looks like a good match for your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new-1#post-1355514 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 01:48:14 +0000 Alana in Canada 1355514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Purple batwing for the win, though I was wondering how much taller the photographer was! As Shevia said, I probably like #1 too but it is quite yellow, so can't tell if the colour suits or not. Outfit silhouette looks good, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new-1#post-1355509 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 01:44:30 +0000 Jaime 1355509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #2! I probably love #1 too, but the picture is too dark for my early morning eyes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new-1#post-1355506 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 01:42:01 +0000 Anonymous 1355506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The purple is a beautiful color on you and I really like the shoes you're wearing with it too.</p> <p>I might have to try out the Limited petite stuff! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new-1#post-1355501 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 01:25:03 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1355501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Check out tripod and remote for iPhone from amazon.

Is that the wrap wrap (loosely) tuck in ends scarf styling? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new-1#post-1355480 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 00:36:15 +0000 shiny 1355480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL dianthus, I'm totally at the mercy of DH these days, he's 10 inches taller than me and only has patience for about 30 seconds&nbsp;to snap a shot before we head out, with no retakes. My best WiW pics were always courtesy of DD's, who are off at college these days.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new-1#post-1355453 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 00:10:52 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1355453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL &nbsp;I was going to type almost word for word what Suz wrote. &nbsp;The angle of the pic isn't great and the outfit still looks fab. &nbsp;I bet it looks even better in person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new-1#post-1355447 Sun, 14 Sep 2014 23:58:53 +0000 Suz 1355447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that purple batwing sweater on you! It's spectacular!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new-1#post-1355436 Sun, 14 Sep 2014 23:29:41 +0000 shiny 1355436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pic 1 - something old: a BR sweater shell that I've had for eons... over 10 years, possibly 15 years. I discarded the matching cardigan years ago because it didn't fit well. I kept the shell because it is skirt length. It went into storage for awhile because I was worried it was soul-sucking beige. I've resurrected it recently because cognac is "in" and this works well with it, plus it is skirt length for this VC mid skirt.</p> <p>Pic 2 - something new: batwing purple sweater --&nbsp;I took a chance recently and ordered a bunch of tops from The Limited's&nbsp;new petite line. All of the ones I ordered fit to perfection and are keepers. The quality could be better but great fit rules everything else for me, and price was in keeping with quality. What I like most about the fit -- not just width but&nbsp;the length. May not work for taller petites but for my height (5'0), it's absolutely&nbsp;perfect!!!</p> <p>Details</p> <p>pic 1 -<br />BR champagne sweater shell (eons old)<br />VC ruched midi<br />Material Girl caged wedges, brown<br />White denim LOFT jean jacket<br />Coach cognac bag</p> <p>pic 2&nbsp;<br />Scarf from nordstrom's<br />purple batwing boatneck&nbsp;sweater, The Limited petites<br />AG boyfriend jeans<br />Jcrew monk strap flats<br />Coach cognac bag </p>
