While I was in Florida last week, my sister and I snuck in an afternoon at the mall... I saw on tried on several items I've seen on Fabbers, including:
Karymk and Shiny's white AT Loft shirt. A total disaster on me - like a ship about to set sail in a high wind.
Janet's plaid Anthro dress: too long in XS regular, and I didn't want to bother with shipping a petite even though shipping is free if you order from the store. It's a great dress, though!
A Madewell was opening the next day - I begged them to let me in but they wouldn't. We didn't go back. Stopped into J. Crew, Athleta, and Nordstrom even though we have one here.
I did end up purchasing a black and white shift dress and panther print shirt, both from H & M, and an adorable overpriced running skirt from Lululemon.
It was fun to shop real stores and to discover that so many things I covet online or in catalogs are not so compelling in person - I can survive without shopping!
