    I'm... adjusting to the idea of the zipper. It just wasn't what I was expecting, I guess! Hmm. I could get behind the idea of commanding.

    It probably doesn't do my kangaroo pouch any favors, but... well, my lower belly protrudes no matter what I wear. So I might as well just wear wool anyway!

    One thing about being big busted, it keeps me in proportion. I never have to worry about my belly sticking out further than by boobs.

    Look Sandra, I too ordered a lot of stuff I returned. At least shipping one way was free. Why don't you also order a shak, and then just keep the pieces you love. I found the sizing on the shak ran smaller (by that I mean I was a solid small in shak, but medium in mollie) than the other pieces, unless you want to size up to layer a lot under it. I can nicely get a mid-weight small base (ribbie) under my small shak, but for where I live like it best with a small light-weight base (like my kate). My bases are both size small, but the ribbie is more form fitting. If you look at their item descriptions, the ribbie is described as form fit and kate as semi-fit which is accurate.

    Yes! I'm just glad they stick out further!

    Bwahahaa!! Oh yah, something like that.

    I think I just might order a darker colored Shak. Looking at the Sea Mist pale blue again, what I don't like about the zipper is how it stands out as a dark color against the light wool. The Thistle just wouldn't have that problem. Now would it?

    No, but you look so good in pale blue! Quick!- think "Harley Davidson chick floating in a pale shimmering tide pool with-little-bits-of-dark-coral in the Andes"!

    My credit card is a source of trouble...

    At the moment I have a Terry order, High Country order, and Timex order winging their way toward me.

    I have GOT to stop ordering!

    Ibex Field Trip to the Arcadian Shop in Lenox, MA

    Deb, Lisa, and I, along with my husband met at the Arcadian Shop today to BUY. Lisa was right near the door when we walked in, and Deb arrived shortly after. We spent about 2 hours looking and we all bought more than one item, at least one being Ibex, which was all 20% off. I bought a full zip Shak, in brown, along with a commuter bag. Everything at this store was high quality, the people who worked there were nice, and the coffee was excellent!
    I haven't laughed this much in a long time! We got one of the employees to take pictures; only one of mine came out decently (I think I am the most un-photogenic person around). Let's just say that Lisa had the poor girl taking our picture take quite a few; the other customers in the store weren't quite sure what was going on. After coffee and talking for about another hour, we went to lunch at a great bistro where we proceeded to laugh for another hour or more. I am a lot poorer, but this was a fun way to spend the day.
