Welcome the warrior tribe! Big box stores are kind of post-apocalyptic at this time of year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wading-into-battle-at-the-local-big-box-store#post-1753605 Thu, 24 Nov 2016 05:07:49 +0000 rachylou 1753605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the apocalyptic flair!

Now I want a warrior outfit for Big box shopping trips and those frantic sales like Black Friday. Maybe such an outfit will offset my "super power" of invisibility to SAs </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wading-into-battle-at-the-local-big-box-store#post-1753574 Thu, 24 Nov 2016 03:21:16 +0000 Jaime 1753574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I go to such a store like that once a year when I am in NY and it is fascinating. More than that and I would also dress for battle. Your outfit is fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wading-into-battle-at-the-local-big-box-store#post-1753553 Thu, 24 Nov 2016 02:42:38 +0000 cindysmith 1753553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ElCee and Diana, I am happy to report that my armor was just for show--there were no skirmishes </p> <p>Barbara, I went today to make sure I didn't have to go Friday because that is a battle I am not willing to fight. I intend to spend the rest of the week and weekend socked in like you have been thus far </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wading-into-battle-at-the-local-big-box-store#post-1753549 Thu, 24 Nov 2016 02:34:55 +0000 El Cee 1753549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes -- you were stylishly (and comfortably) prepared for any skirmishes that might have presented themselves... but hopefully your excursion was "battle free".</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wading-into-battle-at-the-local-big-box-store#post-1753370 Wed, 23 Nov 2016 18:39:46 +0000 Barbara Diane 1753370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your outfit and the sentiment behind it.<br />I have the afore mentioned superpower also.</p> <p>Although my husband has ventured out, the only store I've been in this week has been an outlet store that isn't too busy, and only because an airport run put us very close to it.</p> <p>Tonight I will make a meal from whatever is in the house, as I haven't been to the grocery store in a while, and I'm not going today, lol. It helps to have beans and cheese on hand, and we have lots of fruits and veggies.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wading-into-battle-at-the-local-big-box-store#post-1753350 Wed, 23 Nov 2016 17:09:31 +0000 Diana 1753350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heh. Holiday shopping definitely requires armor, especially at big box stores! You look great. I love the cold-elbow top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wading-into-battle-at-the-local-big-box-store#post-1753348 Wed, 23 Nov 2016 17:06:43 +0000 Ledonna N. 1753348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I not a fan of the super box stores either. I dread going in them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wading-into-battle-at-the-local-big-box-store#post-1753336 Wed, 23 Nov 2016 16:31:20 +0000 Angie 1753336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cynthia, I'm sorry to hear that, but thrilled you found YLF instead. There is zero-tolerance for rudeness here. You fit right in! And the site has been going for ten strong years. Looking forward to many more.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wading-into-battle-at-the-local-big-box-store#post-1753323 Wed, 23 Nov 2016 15:52:03 +0000 cindysmith 1753323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I was so glad to find this community. The last 18 months on social media has been pretty rough (even though I'm only on twitter) and this community is a refreshing change from that. Everyone here is so supportive; even criticisms/critiques are done in a helpful and positive manner, from what I've seen. It's a community that I'm proud to be a part of, so thank you for making such a great place. </p> <p>Sara, we must be related. I seem to wind up in the slowest line at any big-box or grocery store. And if I move to the fastest moving line, it instantly becomes the slowest moving one LOL</p> <p>LeDonna, thank you, I'm hoping I don't have to actually do "battle" LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wading-into-battle-at-the-local-big-box-store#post-1753314 Wed, 23 Nov 2016 15:41:17 +0000 Sara L. 1753314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that t-shirt - so cool looking. &nbsp;My secret super power is picking the slowest moving check out line whenever I visit a certain nameless big-box store. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wading-into-battle-at-the-local-big-box-store#post-1753312 Wed, 23 Nov 2016 15:36:29 +0000 Angie 1753312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are Queen Apocalyptic Flair. I like the way your hair matches this palette.&nbsp;</p> <p>Cynthia, I love that you joined our community. You're astute, witty, polite, chatty and very nice. Fabulous.</p> <p>Good luck with that shop.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wading-into-battle-at-the-local-big-box-store#post-1753308 Wed, 23 Nov 2016 15:22:29 +0000 Ledonna N. 1753308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look like a great warrior. </p> <p>I love everything about this look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wading-into-battle-at-the-local-big-box-store#post-1753306 Wed, 23 Nov 2016 15:19:20 +0000 cindysmith 1753306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to go to the big-box store today for groceries &amp; a few household items. I hate this big-box store (that shall remain nameless because I really really hate it LOL) but my options are so very limited where I live. So, I went with a "wardrobe as armor" thought process and went a bit dystopian and tough. Slits in the sleeves at the elbow, distressed hoodie vest, combat style booties... Please excuse the crazy hair, it's very windy and I've given up on taming it today LOL</p> <p>Vest: H&amp;M divided (men's department)<br /> Jeans: Max Studio<br /> Top: Luxury Fashion (that's literally the brand name, it's a recent yoox find)<br /> Boots: Lucky brand<br /> Belt &amp; buckle: my own, 1/2 vintage 1/2 new-ish--Amish made belt with Lucchese buckle<br /> Shades: Revo windspeed </p>
