Where Can I Get...?

Um medium/dark gray with lighter bits, not like a sweatshirt at all.

I see. :o This makes me very saddened that I can't find it. It seems that the people in Aritzia don't even know what I'm talking about!

I'm thinking if I find it, I shall get gray because it's more neutral. But blue is so party. XD

I found some stuff from Forever 21 and Nordstrom that I like but I can't get it because they either don't have it in Vancouver or it's too expensive. Sad

So I'll just post the pictures and maybe someone can tell me/show pictures&prices of stuff that looks similar.

I especially want the first two pieces of clothing on top. (yellow tanktop and brown short-sleeve zipup)

I reeeeally like the third dress but I would like it with straps. Confused

Yeah, def try the vintage shops but actually thrift shops/charity shops are usually better. They're way cheaper. So go to those stores too!

I'll answer what I can because I was the one who recommended the store to her.

The knit dress came in grey, cream and dark brown at Jacob Connexion. Its sleeves stopped an inch or two above the elbow. It has a really deep-v, almost to your navel I think... Originally it was 59.99$ but was marked down to 39.99$ last time I went. This was back in mid-December. It also has two little pockets.

^ Yes! That's the one that I saw. It was really adorable! But I can't fit their clothes. They don't seem to fit me well. Sad

What should I say to the Aritzia people? Do I just explain the dress to them?

Nothing Better · Supermodel Joined: 31 Dec 2006 Posts: 830 Smiles: +16 428

Yeah, call them and ask for if they had a spaghetti stap/racerback knit mini-dress by Talula in either grey or blue. They should be helpfull and know what they have in sore or atleast where to find it so they could check if they did. If they do, ask them to put your size on hold. I don't know if they're allowed to do that though, because it's sale merchandise.

^ No it's definitely not too thick. The yarn, though it can hardly be called that because it's such a thin string, isn't fluffy at all, like yarn usually is.

Laurenne · Beauty Queen Joined: 27 Dec 2006 Posts: 239 Smiles: +4 32

That's good. So, it's good for summer? Hopefully it's not too hot.

Nothing Better · Supermodel Joined: 31 Dec 2006 Posts: 830 Smiles: +16 428

No, I doubt you'd be too hot for it. My mom saw it and thought it was nice but then she saw how thinly knit it was and got really worried that I'd be cold and asked me what long sleeved shirt I was goind to wear under it. I was like ugh? Why would I do that? Until she explained what she meant. I told her I'd wear a coat and tights/leggings with it.

Laurenne · Beauty Queen Joined: 27 Dec 2006 Posts: 239 Smiles: +4 32

Good, good, good. Oh yeah, and sorry. I am the Queen of Questions. Honestly. :o

Is it itchy? Mad

Nothing Better · Supermodel Joined: 31 Dec 2006 Posts: 830 Smiles: +16 428

I don't know, I find it flattering that you're so interested in my dress Happy

No, not really. I find it comfy, not annoying at all.

Laurenne · Beauty Queen Joined: 27 Dec 2006 Posts: 239 Smiles: +4 32

I think I am more than interested. I'm obsessed. XD All I've been talking about is that "knit mini-dress" and how I want it so badly. But it seems that I can't find it, or anything that resembles it. Mad

Do you think that any more knit dresses will be out for spring? I dunno if it's a fall/winter thing. DDD:

Nothing Better · Supermodel Joined: 31 Dec 2006 Posts: 830 Smiles: +16 428

^XD I guess keep checking? There should be some new ones coming out soon because the spring collections are coming out soon.

Laurenne · Beauty Queen Joined: 27 Dec 2006 Posts: 239 Smiles: +4 32

Are they not out already? *is dumb* I'll keep looking but I have to get one by next Thursday. Mad

What stores (in Vancouver) sell Billabong? More specifically hats. Thanks

Laurenne · Beauty Queen Joined: 27 Dec 2006 Posts: 239 Smiles: +4 32

I'm not too sure about Vancouver, but if you have stores such as Below the Belt, Boathouse, or maybe Jean Machine... you could try looking there. Winners is good too, you can try finding some hats there. If you are lucky, you may find some. I've seen Billabong in most of these stores. :o

haha steeles market! my family bought fruits n veggies from there in the summertime.

how about kensington?

Laurenne · Beauty Queen Joined: 27 Dec 2006 Posts: 239 Smiles: +4 32

^ Hey, Kensington is a pretty good idea. But you have to find good places to look.

Does anyone know where I can find anything silimar to these items of clothing?

This mini-dress/long shirt in monochormatic plaid?

Or something that resembles this necklace from Chanel? (I can't afford the real thing)

Plus, I'm still looking for a soft-knit minidress...

Nothing Better · Supermodel Joined: 31 Dec 2006 Posts: 830 Smiles: +16 428

I haven't seen anything like the monochromatic plaid dress in sores but for the Chanel necklace, you could go to a bead shop like Sassy Bead Company on Younge Street and make it yourself because then you could make sure you got what you want.

I think they will probably get dirty fast, but you can put them in the washing machine if I'm not mistaken Confused

Laurenne · Beauty Queen Joined: 27 Dec 2006 Posts: 239 Smiles: +4 32

For the Talula knit dress, I couldn't find it in 3 Aritzia's I went to today. I was SO mad.

Nothing Better · Supermodel Joined: 31 Dec 2006 Posts: 830 Smiles: +16 428

That sucks! I just went to Aritzia to check if they had their new stuff in today and they still had like 2 of the blue ones. I can't wait for them to get their new stock in though, there's so little left in the store.

Laurenne · Beauty Queen Joined: 27 Dec 2006 Posts: 239 Smiles: +4 32

^ I am... so envious. Crying or Very sad

What size are the blue ones? Do they have XXS by any chance? Mad

@Laurenne: For that monochromatic plaid dress, Sirens has some very similar ones.

There was an XS, but I didn't check the other one because I already own the dress.

Laurenne · Beauty Queen Joined: 27 Dec 2006 Posts: 239 Smiles: +4 32

^^ Yeah, I saw a monocromatic dress, but it was a jumper dress that was not in my size. But I'll check again to see if there is one that is more similar to the one in my picture

^As size XS? Crying or Very sad

This makes me sad. But I can't afford it now anyways. I lost my cell, and now I have to pay for a new one. Bye, beautiful dress.

Nothing Better · Supermodel Joined: 31 Dec 2006 Posts: 830 Smiles: +16 428

Poor you! Where did you lose it? Because maybe you could dial your own number on someone else's cell to find it. That sucks though, was it one of the new fancy ones? Maybe you could buy one on Ebay, they might be cheaper. Hope everything ends up all right.
