Two K/Rs and a summary of my NAS purchases

I bought these pants during NAS. The white pair they sent me were totally the wrong pants. I think they were mislabelled, wrong size and cropped. The two toned pants had the sensor tags still attached. Oops! So they resent me these with 2 day shipping! Yay Nordstrom! Please ignore the lengths, I need to hem all my pants, even the petite sized ones.

1-3. White Halogen Taylor pants (not part of NAS but on sale!).
I've been looking for a nice pair of white pants that aren't see through. These are lined and pass that test.

4-6. Two-toned Halogen Taylor pants from Angie's picks.
I love the color and fit of these pants. I think these fit a little better than the white ones, especially from the back, even though they are the same size and the same cut.

The damage from NAS includes:
7. 3 Halogen cotton stretch skirts and one Halogen two toned skirt
8. Halogen pintucked polka dot blouse, Halogen draped top, Olivia Moon grey knit blazer
9. Halogen seamed leather jeacket and Kenneth Cole walker (not sure if I'm keeping the walker, still have to look into moving the buttons)

Not pictured are 2 bras and a pair Hue microsuede leggings.

Apparently, I am on a halogen kick! I tried on dozens of blouses that just didn't feel right including the VC banded tops that look so good on others here. I also wanted to get a pair of boots, but the Miz Mooz didn't work out either. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchases and I should be in good shape with my wardrobe for a while!

A great stash :). It's always fun to find a brand that works well for you.

I LOVE the trouser fits on you Kathy. After a little hemming you are good to go.

Very nice! I have Halogen Taylor trousers that I bought last winter and have worn non-stop during my "dressier" work days. I am considering the two-tone trousers if they ever go on sale again - it's great to see them in your photos, and it looks like they fit you perfectly. The white pants also look good on you.

Well done!

Great find on those pants--they fit you so nicely off the rack! I have to hem all pants, too, and I don't even really think of it as an alteration, although it is. You'll get a lot of wear out of them, for sure. The other pieces are gorgeous, too. Nice job with your shopping!

Thank you ladies! I am so excited about the pants, and they got Angie's seal of approval so even better!

I've been in major closet over-haul mode for the past 6 months or so. I finally lost my pregnancy weight (only 2 years later haha) and then some with diet and exercise. I went down 2 sizes and I didn't notice that my clothes stopped fitting until a co-worker told me that my pants were falling off! I had not bought non-maternity clothes for myself in about 2 years after having two kids and all the weight fluctuations, and I was super focus on the kids instead of myself.

For a long time, I had a "uniform" of blah pants and blah button up shirts for work until I found YLF. This was just the perfect solution to help me fix my closet disaster. So, thanks, Angie and everyone hear for helping me. I was in the shadows for several months quietly absorbing all the fabulous information here, and I am so glad to finally join the community fully. After this haul from NAS, I think my closet is in a happy place now. So thanks again
