My Swap Haul - YouLookFab Forum

Not styled--some of these will have to be thought through. Here goes:

#1 Polka dot dress: I've been leaning towards polka dots. This is brand new, tags still on. I did some Googling and it does tie in front, although you can't see it. I have a red flower pin I will probably wear with it. It is completely lined, and as you see, reaches the knees. Dresses are tough to find for the tall these days, but I think this will be a fun spring outfit.

#2 Paisley top. Reminds me of 70s, and has a bit of fullness in the front to hide the belly.

#3 Abstract top, same style. I thought this was too bright for me, but when I put it on I liked it.

#4 Button top. Lots of buttons and too fitted to pull over my head. Oops, a bit of muffin top, but the muffin is gradually deflating. I have a Yummy Tummy if necessary.

#5 Black jacket with tie. I lightened this but you still can't see much detail. I'm wearing it with my new jeans that I have to wash and take back for altering. Lightweight, will be fun to have for cooler spring and summer evenings.

#6 Beige jacket similar to black. Again, since moving to the Bay area I've learned I can never have enough jackets. I grabbed the two scarves at the last minute. I can never have too many scarves.

I also got a pendant necklace, but I forgot to take a photo of it. I have an injured cat on my lap. Both my cats got injured last week. They are indoor cats and it happened while I was out running errands. Neither will tell me what happened.

I love every single piece on you, just lovely!!!

April

Wow, I'm really loving that knot-front style on you, MM. Everyone did so well at their swaps!

Refugee

Yes! I love you in the bold print. The maroon button-down with the ruffled collar is awesome (stellar color for you). I think (and I am no Maya, mind you) I think a differnt bra may be called for. Perhaps a balconette style? I think getting the girls up and in a bit will make the fit of this blouse just amazing. If I'm being too personal, just tell me to hush.

Becky

Wow, great pieces! Can't wait to see what you do with them. Hope the kitties are up and at 'em again soon.

taylor

Wow, what a great haul!!

Those naughty kitties..fighting and carrying on while you were away!!

OMG, Susan! The dress is so fab on you! It makes your waist look so tiny! Love both print blouses as well. They look very hip and I'm loving the colors on you! The button down blouse is lovely as well. Glad the jackets found a new home--they look great on you. Looking forward to seeing more of your WIW!

Refugee--not too personal at all. I've now lost ten pounds since last summer, and want to lose a couple more. I realized today that I will need to get some new bras. Also, I am currently a 34F and they just don't fit in most clothes that well. I'm going to wait a couple of weeks though, because I am motivated to get the last of it off.

I don't think I would have tried on the print tops in the store. I'm tired of wearing the same old thing anyway, so this was fun. My husband likes everything I got, so thank all of you San Jose attendees.

Sharkie and Jett, the 2-year olds, chase each other around the house and I think maybe the play got too rough.

Wow. I'm impressed! That's KILLER haul.

Also have to say that your bob is one million percent glorious.

Kudos on the weight loss. After my weight loss, new bras made such a difference. Hope you get the lift (pun intended) I did. Teehee

Nice haul!

Thanks to all. Angie, I've tried many different hairstyles over the years, long and short, but I always come back to the bob. My hair is fine and absolutely straight, but at this point, I'm grateful to still have hair.

Oh my goodness - these all look so lovely on you! The polka dot dress is Killer! (I've been on the lookout for one also - but so far, no luck!), the patterned blouses are great - and that burgandy blouse is the perfect color for you! Looks like it was a successful swapping event for you! Thanks for posting!

Fabulous haul - I think you hit the jackpot with the dress! Love the crispness of the polka dots, the flattering fit, and the perfect length. Red, in the form of the flower pin you mention, or shoes, would really up the amp.

Sorry to hear about the kitties... Hope they're on the mend!

Melissa

What happens on kitty playdates stays on kitty playdates.

I'm in love with that polka dot dress on you! Add in some fab accessories, and it will be killer. I also love the colors in that paisley top on you. Can't wait to see how you style the scarf in your right hand.

Also, as a fellow member of club fine and straight hair, yours looks incredible. It really suits you.

Sally

I think all the pieces look great and suit you. 2 stand out in particular as favourites...the polka dot dress is gorgeous and really suits you. I also like that green and blue top ...its gorgeous and you wear it so well.
