I can't wait for the pieces to arrive!</p> <p>The Kut plaid pants weren't on my radar at all. I just picked them up on a whim while quickly browsing through POV. I think it will be good to add some color/pattern interest to my bottoms capsule, now that I'm well stocked on the new cropped silhouette. I'm very impressed this year at the nice fits and quality even at more affordable price points.</p> <p>Tangent: Does anyone else have the experience of older jeans no longer fitting as well as you remember, yet the newer jeans you buy to replace them are the same size and you haven't changed much in weight? I'm slightly more muscular this year than in the past, thanks to picking up a sport, but my hip and waist measurements are still essentially unchanged. Although I don't put my jeans through the dryer any more, I wonder if the stretch fabric still breaks down gradually over time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-store-try-ons#post-1936734 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 23:54:42 +0000 Suz 1936734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, wow -- that dress!! It's perfect on you. And, won't it be awesome with the moto on top?! Stunning look.&nbsp;</p> <p>I was curious about the Kut plaid pants so thank you for showing those! I love Kuts --you're right they tend to stretch. Thank you so much for the shoe/ bootie reviews, too -- I was wondering about the Blondo colour in person.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-store-try-ons#post-1936731 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 23:50:01 +0000 Anonymous 1936731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well .. the hair color recommendation is also helpful. &nbsp;I personally love the look. &nbsp;My BF would die if I did that though. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-store-try-ons#post-1936729 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 23:43:40 +0000 Keix 1936729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you everyone for the lovely compliments *blush* I'm glad that the reviews were helpful. I have lots of stuff coming in the mail next week and will review those too.</p> <p>Diana, the dress is awesomely teal Even the SA who let me into the fitting room commented on how the print matches my hair. If you're looking for a new teal sundress...</p> <p>Btw if anyone is considering dyeing their hair a funky non-natural color, let me just put in a MAJOR plug for Pulp Riot brand hair dye. It's a professional line only sold to colorists, but with trial and error at multiple salons / brands, I've found that this brand has amazing longevity for semi-permanent vivids. My current color is 3 months old and that's with me using a sulfate-containing shampoo on my scalp (medical prescription that I can't get in a color-friendly formulation). For comparison, the stylist at a local Aveda salon told me flat out that my color would only look good for about a month.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-store-try-ons#post-1936694 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 22:32:48 +0000 Diana 1936694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket looks great! Can’t wait to see the teal one. And I had totally missed that dress too. It looks great and I love the print!</p> <p>Love your hair by the way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-store-try-ons#post-1936689 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 22:28:09 +0000 JAileen 1936689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks like it was made for you - perfect for your hair! The jacket looks good, too, as do the pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-store-try-ons#post-1936679 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 21:56:30 +0000 Anonymous 1936679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your pictures and descriptions are so helpful!!!!!!!!! &nbsp; Thank you for taking the time to put together such a well written and in-depth summary. &nbsp;</p> <p>That jacket was made for you. &nbsp;You look beyond fabulous in everything. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-store-try-ons#post-1936668 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 21:41:10 +0000 Kathie 1936668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the reviews! Love the dress with your hair, and the teal jacket was clearly meant for you. And, now I can definitely pass on the Darlington flats, based on your comments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-store-try-ons#post-1936644 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 21:06:20 +0000 Toban 1936644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great review. Very helpful. The green dress is my favorite — a smaller size has great potential for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-store-try-ons#post-1936639 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 21:01:08 +0000 Janet 1936639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really nice pieces on you -- can't wait to see that jacket in the green! BlankNYC makes some good stuff for the price point. The Kut pants look a lot like the plaid ones they did a few years ago in a mix of neutrals. If they're the same, they wear like iron -- mine still look like new (even if they're a little snug now because I've gained weight since then).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-store-try-ons#post-1936629 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 20:39:07 +0000 Staysfit 1936629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The leather jacket is going to look excellent in green! I hope you post another picture to show us once it arrives. You found some great items! Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-store-try-ons#post-1936613 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 20:11:10 +0000 Thistle 1936613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the update!</p> <p>I was eyeing the Vince flats, and I opted against them as they didn't look like they had much padding to make them comfortable and the soles looked slippery (an issue on the granite? floors we have at the office).</p> <p>Good to know my instincts were right! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-store-try-ons#post-1936597 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 19:21:45 +0000 Keix 1936597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I popped into the small local store briefly during my lunch hour and had a fruitful trip!</p> <p>1) Reason for the trip: Angie had mentioned that the BLANKNYC hooded moto jacket ran small, so I wanted to see if I needed to order the size Small. Nope--the XS fits me <i>perfectly</i>. Fitted but not too tight in the shoulders and even the sleeve length, with the difficult to alter zippers, isn't too long. I'd say it fits like a 0P. I'm so excited to see the green version when it arrives; if the color is right, then I'll have found a HEWI at a great price to boot. If I didn't already have a black leather moto, I would have been tempted to get the black as well.</p> <p>2) The Gibson convertible cardigan wrap is kind of weird to put on, but it drapes really well. I'm trying on the XXSP here in blue (ordered same size in black), which fits well enough with room for layering that I didn't bother trying the XSP. Nordstrom online says that only the regular sizes run large, but IMO the petite sizes are running on the large size as well.</p> <p>Also in this photo are the KUT Donna/Diana (tag and online contradict each other) gray plaid ponte pants, which are super comfy. I'm wearing the size 0 here which were strangely super long....</p> <p>3/4) Because I sized down to a 00 and then the length was magically fine. The tag on both jeans say "Donna Ankle Skinny" so maybe the first pair was just manufactured incorrectly? The size down is still comfy and I know KUT bottoms will stretch. Purchased these and probably keeping as it's a good price point and I can always use more jeans/casual pants. Note: BOTH front and back pockets are functional! As someone who needs to wear a clip-on badge for work, that sealed the deal for me.</p> <p>5) I completely missed this dress online but was drawn to the print immediately in-store. It leans a bit more green-teal than the blue-teal of the product photo. Wearing a regular XS here, which is all they had, and it's definitely too wide. I ordered XXSP online. Polyester, but it doesn't feel hot, and machine wash+dry is a big plus.</p> <p>Not pictured: I forgot to snap photos of the shoes I tried on later. Really liked the Dolce Vita perforated caramel suede booties that Angie showed in her dressing room thread. They only had size 6 in store; I decided to order a 5, the smaller of my two sizes, because the unlined suede upper will stretch and I hope to wear these without socks. I'm in need of transitional closed toe shoes for the late fall/early winter months when it's too chilly for sandals but not cold enough to require socks. The color is definitely warm-toned, not too brown or yellow, more of a warm tan neutral.</p> <p>Finally, notes on a few other pairs: Blondo Nova heeled booties fit TTS, I'd get 5.5 for winter-weight socks or 5 if I were planning to wear with tights. The cognac brown color is nice if you're looking for brown; I was a bit disappointed that the burgundy color is a true dark red in person, rather than the purplish burgundy of the product photo.</p> <p>Vince Darlington flats - You need to be OK with the look of a <b>long</b> and pointy toe, which I wasn't. Reasonably comfortable but not outstanding; very flat with no arch support. Definitely size down and/or take the smaller of your two sizes; they again only had a 6 for me to try but I would definitely need the 5 if not smaller (doesn't come any smaller than a 5 though). </p>
