Hi,

My last NAS package arrived today.

This is the EF cardigan in the larger size.

#1 and #2-Larger size (regular XS)

#3 and #4-Smaller size (petite S)

I think the larger size fits better although it still puckers in the back. What do you think keep or return?

Also if you've missed any of my NAS posts here is a list.

Thanks for looking!

I am not going to be any help. Cannot see a whole lot of difference. I am not loving it with that puckering and I bet that would bug you as well. I like the mixed media effect though.

Hard to see much difference. What do you see / feel?

Is this the peat or charcoal color? Just wondering.

I think I see less puckering in the first photo. FWIW I'm not loving it on you, but I think it's the front view - it seems to overwhelm you somewhat. Might just be me, take it with a grain of salt. You've got lots of super stuff.

I also vote pass. It's too bulky on your frame.

I do think the larger fits better too.

I think the regular fits much better--especially from the back. The pucker is barely noticeable and it seems to end at a better place. Looks fab to me!

Hi Lisa -- I've enjoyed looking at all of your clothes! I'm going to consolidate my comments here (as I missed posting on the previous threads in a timely manner).

Round 1 - Love the Paige jeans! Excellent front and back views. Also love the black crew neck top. Not loving the EF jacket.

Round 2 - Love the Joe's jeans. Also the length is perfect on you. I too have been happily avoiding the tailor ever since they started making inseams at 30" or less.

Round 3 -- Everything here is a 10! You nailed your fall color scheme with this selection. The jeans fit you beautifully. And the color is gorgeous on you. Same holds for the sweater and tee. Sorry you didn't care for the necklace because I love it on you. I don't think it's too short, and the colors go well with the other browns you're focusing on this season. Am I changing your mind?

Round 4 -- My favorite here is the first sweater. I think the color is pretty on you. Pairing it with the darker brown jeans does not wash you out. And worn with these jeans you look tall and lean. I agree with your assessment about the second and third sweaters. I like the tencel shirt but think it needs tucking.

Round 5 -- Still not loving the EF jacket, and these sizes look very similar to me. In both, the sleeves look too wide and long for your slim arms and the back does not sit right.

Nicole D-Thanks! I also like the mix media look, and that black is paired with brown in one piece.

ABC-Thanks! This is the peat color.

Jackiec-Thanks! I keep trying this cardigan but it doesn't seem to want to work and for the price I'm not going to settle.

Elpgal-Thanks! I also don't think this one is working on me for some reason.

Rachylou-Thanks! I didn't think I was a petite size top either and agree that the regular fits better for the length.

Kellygirl-Thanks! This piece has a cozy vibe to it that I like but the puckering back is making this a no for me, especially with it's price tag.

CocoLion-Thanks! You are awesome to comment on all my NAS threads!

Round 1-The Paige jeans and Halogen knit are keepers, and I'm happy to hear someone else is enjoying the cropped lengths as full length for bottoms. It's nice to purchase jeans and NOT have to wait for them to be tailored before I get to sport them.

Round 2-I agree the Joe's jeans are another keeper jean for me. I'm also keeping the blazer because I like the lighter color for brightening up my winter wardrobe.

Round 3-I only returned the necklace from this group. I really enjoy the brown and ivory shades and you ARE making me rethink about the necklace.

Round 4-I still like the camel color in general from this group, but since I'm keeping the ivory Theory sweater from round 3 I'm going to pass on this one. I did keep the tencel shirt because it's a great piece for layering.

Round 5-I agree, the EF is just not working on me and for the price it has to be a 10, so back it goes.
