Dressing Young (Part 1)

@BunsenBurner I want to go shopping with you???

@deb922 , Iā€™m late to the party. I like the first coat, but agree Iā€™d only get it in petite, (donā€™t know if thatā€™s offered), it does look like it might overwhelm you.

@xyz123a , Iā€™m not a prolific seller, but Iā€™d take lots of photos in Good lighting, show lots of details. If there is an imperfection. Mention it and take a photo. Be very transparent.

Right something interesting in the description. Try to find a stock photo of the article of clothing to use. Not only does that show it on a model, but also You can use the official description to help sell yours.

Put measurements up. Hope that helps. It takes more time than one thinks.

@BunsenBurner Thank you for finding the Poshmark thread.

@showmom858 - you are welcome!

Spent the weekend in my new Lulu dress. So comfy! It is just a very, very long tank top lol. I ordered the black one, too. :slight_smile:

Donā€™t do this to me, Bunsen! Now Iā€™m eyeing the black one. Did you wear Align shorts under it?

@BunsenBurner They are on sale! Iā€™m trying to price adjust the one I got!

This, I never had one, but I just know it will look bad on me.

On other news - NY and Co is going bankruptcy - The store near me has everything 30-80% on sale. I got a couple of really nice dresses (liked them a lot better than the GarnetHill dress i got for $140) for $20 each! You canā€™t try on or return but i can tell they will fit well and they did.

@BunsenBurner in my head you are one gorgeous well dressed womanā€¦

My husband didnā€™t like my jumpsuit (gave it a 5 out of 10), and I guess it really wasnā€™t my best look, so back it went.

I bought these sandals, looking forward to seeing if I like how they fit.

Too bad about the jumpsuit. Like the shoes! That Stevie Madden sandal looks like a nice Rockstud knockoff. :slight_smile:

@MomofWildChild - were you able to get the price adjustment? The day was super crazy so I was not even able to run to the bathroom at times let alone call Lulu! :slight_smile: Wore my dress to a Teams meeting; threw a cardigan over so no bare shoulders. Looked good.

@BunsenBurner I was. I did it through their online chat! $31 or so.

I ordered those Steve Madden sandals. The top strap cut into my pinkie toe and they went right back. They are a great neutral sandal

@deb922 , Iā€™ve read such mixed reviews about those sandals, that you need to order 1/2 size up. Iā€™m a size 10 (Bigfoot). I ordered a 10 and 11 (rarely are there 1/2 sizes when they get that bigā€¦ha). It will be interesting, Iā€™ll let you know.

@BunsenBurner , Iā€™d never heard of those others before. Thatā€™s funny because there are bloggers who find the ā€œSteve Madden Travel sandal dupesā€. Never knew Steve Madden was one itself.

@conmama - Rockstud was and still is the most successful Valentino Garavaniā€™s line of shoes and accessories. Lots of knockoffs! Even from brand names! :slight_smile:

@deb922 , the sandals came in. Darn, why donā€™t they make a 10.5, that would be perfect.

10 fits everywhere great except too narrow of course. Not horrible. If it was $40, I wouldnā€™t give it a second though. $80, not sure.

11 fits great in the footbed, but about 1/4 inch longer in back, Iā€™m nit used to overhang there. A little looks everywhere, so not so comfortable about that.

Nit sure what Iā€™ll do yet. Iā€™ve never been a great fan of really flat sandals on me, so juryā€s out.

@bunsenburner, Iā€™d love to try a pair of the Rockstuds on to see the difference. Iā€™d like to see what makes it a $1k sandal vs. $80.

@conmama keep an eye on for those sandals at Macyā€™s. When they have their friends and family, they go 25% off. Also if you get Macyā€™s star pass, it can be used for that and they go down to $59.25. Free shipping over $25.

I donā€™t think I can send you one of my star passes but Iā€™d be glad to try. I never use them

A favorite blogger of mine featured this blouse and I really like it and have been stalking it ?

The issue is that it says dry clean only. I havenā€™t been to the dry cleaners in forever and am not interested in going for a summer item.

Do you think it could be hand washed? I might be willing to do that. It is ridiculously expensive for what it is, but it is very much me.

@deb922 - well, it is rayon, and weā€™ve had a discussion here before about its propensity to wrinkle. I imagine you could hand wash it but that it would require significant ironing.

@deb922 , I wouldnā€™t wash rayon. But, do you think youā€™d really have to wash this blouse much? Even if it was just once a year, thatā€™s not bad. Do you have a ZIPS drycleaner nearby? They are only $2.99 on anything. For something I loved, Iā€™d pay the extra expense. That is a darling blouse and would look good on you.

I keep trying on those sandals and both would work. Argh. I do have $10 off at DSW, and will look at Macyā€™s website. Did you try a half size up fir yourself?

Thanks @Hoggirl. My biggest issue with Anthropologie is that so many of their items are rayon and hard to wash. Ugh!
