So far, so good

I posted last week about ordering a few things http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-is-closed.

The dress arrived yesterday and fits absolutely perfectly. I got the oxford sandals today and they also fit perfectly. The skirt should be here in a few days...I wonder if I'll be lucky enough to score a perfect 3 for 3???!!!

Meredith - I know you were interested in the oxford sandals and I wanted to let you know they are sooooo comfortable and fit TTS.

Once I've got everything and have had a chance to style them a bit, I'll get some pics posted.

Also, the lavender Brooks Brothers dress shirt I ordered arrived about an hour ago and the salesperson who had emailed me the size I should choose based on my measurements I sent them is a GENIUS! This shirt fits like it was made for me. Will also get pics of it posted soon but too tired now.

Your stars must be in perfect alignment today! I've found the personnel at Brooks Brothers really know their fits and are so helpful. I'm looking forward to seeing your new things in action.

Well being that it's minus 15 right now with still a good 6-8 inches of snow, I won't be putting the sandals into action just yet (lol)!

I just saw your links with the tiered dress and shabby apple skirt. I hadn't heard of shabby apple before, but I'll have to check them out. Can hardly wait to see them on you!

Such a tease, Shannon! I'm looking forward to pics, hopefully tomorrow?

Your BB story is fab, and really makes me want to see that shirt! Why bother going to a store when you can get such expert results!!

Nice! Can't wait to see pics.

BTW, your post title inspired the following knock-knock joke by me:

Knock knock!
Who's there?
Sofa.
Sofa who?
Sofa, so good!

DS thought it was hilarious. Then I came up with THIS doozy:

KK!
WT?
Hummus.
Hummus who?
Hummus is that doggie in the window?

Sorry to thread-jack!

PICTURES! WE NEED PICTURES

Congrats on getting two items that fit! I hope the skirt fits too! I've had no luck as far as online purchases go, but I just ordered two blazers, so I'm hoping some of your luck rubs off on me!

I'm sending all sorts of luck your way Kirti!

And I am sorry for teasing/tormenting you all with the lack of pics (although a tiny speck of me is laughing inside...is that wrong?). This is when I need to make a full blown confession...I am camera-illiterate. There. I said it. Why do you think Kristin takes my pics? I have a camera but haven't been able to figure out taking my own photos without major "flash bulb head" in it. Off work today and tomorrow so will try and figure it out and see what I can manage. Don't hold your breath for stellar shots - you'll be lucky if you can make out a human form!!!
