hers Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 what stores do you have near you hers? I'm in Atlanta so I have pretty much whatever I want at my disposal. What do you have in mind? Link to comment
onewithbooks Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 well i was hoping to go online to see what there was. I have a few ideas, but i wanted to find some photos, and i wanted to make sure you could get them if you liked them. Link to comment
hers Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 Anything affordable is doable for me. I have access to pretty good malls. I don't really do name brand stuff like Gucci or anything, so nothing like that! But there's a Macy's, Nordstrom's, and stuff on top of the little stores I already named! Link to comment
onewithbooks Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 oooh! that helps a lot Link to comment
onewithbooks Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 ok dont look at the price, but I would love to see this coat on you. I love the color, length and the belt in the middle would accentuate your hourglass figure. link removed Link to comment

I love the color, length and the belt in the middle would accentuate your hourglass figure. link removed i agree that is the perfect shape for you...and a thick belt in the right place would be perfect!!! If you could find a dark pair of trouser jeans i think they would look good on you as well Link to comment
kuiks8 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Victoria Secrets is relatively cheap and they have some great v-neck sweaters etc... Link to comment
onewithbooks Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I found this coat, and I think I love it for you hers! link removed Link to comment
jengh Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 ooh, the one from Nordstroms is gorgeous.. haven't checked the other link yet. hersmudders, do you have a Nordstrom Rack there? Link to comment
jengh Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 ohhhh second one would be perfect for ME...the belt part is slimming! Link to comment
onewithbooks Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 its a great coat. ILMBC, I cant believe that you feel lost on fashion. You sound so together when you talk about your clothes. Link to comment
hers Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 I will check the links when I get home! Can't wait to see what you have picked out for me haha. You guys are the best! Link to comment
onewithbooks Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 This has been soo much fun! Link to comment
hers Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 Ok I went to Target today and just tried on clothes that I normally wouldn't try on (couldn't afford to buy anything today though). Tried on a really dark wash pair of jeans with a dark green short-sleeved turtleneck. It looked REALLY cute! I was proud of it and bummed that I couldn't buy it. Then I found those shoes you pointed out to me, OWB--those brown slip-ons with the flowers on them. Also found a pair of dark brown moccassin slip-ons that woudl've looked even cuter with that outfit. Wish I could've gotten it today... Saw some cute jewelry that would've gone cute with some stuff I already have as well. Wish I had money!! Won't be able to buy anything till probably next week... Link to comment
hers Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 Very cute coats, OWB! I wish I could afford them!! Link to comment
onewithbooks Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Here is one that I love from your favorite store: link removed Link to comment
hers Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 I like it but it's not very warm--I saw that one at the store not long ago and it's very thin. It's cute though! Link to comment
onewithbooks Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 how cold does it get in atlanta? Link to comment
hers Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 Pretty cold. I work outside all day, and I wear as many layers as I can. This past winter it got down into the teens at night and I'd be walking aroudn with it in the 20s and 30s during the day. We had snow a few times too. Link to comment
onewithbooks Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Wow I would have never dreamed that. I thought y'all were further south I guess. I will keep looking! Link to comment
GoldenHillGuy Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 As for the jeans and tailoring, I've done that before but then htey lose the little "cuff" at the end. Or maybe not even a cuff. Maybe the seam? I don't like when it loses that. I dont know why. But I have taken them to tailors before but just not often, b/c if I'm spending $50 on jeans, I dont want to spend anymore to get them taken in! My sister takes her jeans in all the time to get hemmed up. But the guy keeps the bottom 'cuff', and puts it back on. You can't tell they've been hemmed. You just need to find a good tailor. Sorry........its all I can add to this thread. I did read with great interest though! Link to comment
