Given the fact I triplicated the skirt in different colors, I'm going to play around to see how it looks. Thanks for the tip.</p> <p>The dress is definitely going back. I can't seem to adjust my eye to the proportions. CocoLion also pinpointed something for me: this is a look I'd have loved 2 years ago, but I think my style is going in a different direction these days. Thanks for the insight, CL:)</p> <p>Deb, you're awesome and I can't wait to hear how your trip went!</p> <p>And Sammi, I can't hope to look as cool as you do in that jacket, but I'm going to try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-nas-time-to-play-keep-or-return#post-382226 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 04:50:21 +0000 Anonymous 382226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all 10's in my opinion. I love them all! </p> <p>The camel jacket didn't love me back either! The gray tweed looks lovely on you though.</p> <p>The dress doesn't look a bit matronly...you look gorgeous in it!</p> <p>All fabulous finds </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-nas-time-to-play-keep-or-return#post-381497 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 20:44:08 +0000 CocoLion 381497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't read the other responses, but I vote keep (=10) on the boxy Trouve open stitch sweater and cropped jacket and Kate Spade sunglasses. The other items, the woven tunic and the dress, look good on you (and I personally really like the length of the dress, it's the style that just seems too conservative for you). But sorry for being a little harsh, but I think they are 7s. The woven tunic tucked looks like an 8 to me, so that one might be on the fence.</p> <p>ETA: I read the other responses and I hope you do keep the sweater. I think it looks so cool on you. It's a new silhouette that will take some getting used to. You look so chic in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-nas-time-to-play-keep-or-return#post-381488 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 20:35:25 +0000 Debora 381488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First, I have to say that if you all think Beth is stunning in the photos, you should see her in real life. I have had the pleasure of meeting her in person and she just knocks your socks off - she is that beautiful!</p> <p>Beth, you *do* look stunning in all the pieces, dress included. After several seasons of fitted tops, I am leaning towards purchasing a boxy sweater myself. Love everything on you and the shades are super fab!</p> <p>ETA: I go for my appt on Tuesday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-nas-time-to-play-keep-or-return#post-381254 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 09:40:12 +0000 Ornella 381254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent finds. I myself am only questioning the dress, sizing down might do the trick but I see why you get the maternity vibe.</p> <p>My favorite is the Bellatrix top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-nas-time-to-play-keep-or-return#post-381232 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 07:14:14 +0000 rute 381232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are gorgeous!!!!!!!!!<br /> Love everything except the CK dress, too big and too high on the waist! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-nas-time-to-play-keep-or-return#post-381224 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 06:38:36 +0000 Scarlet 381224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the sweater and blazer, but I think they would work better with a longer top underneath. I like the tunic untucked. With the dress at first I thought the waist was too high, but then I thought it is just a new style I was not used to. I think it looks lovely on you. It just depends if you feel good in it or keep feeling a maternity vibe that will keep you from feeling good. The sunnies look good, but I would like to compare them to a non-square shape to be sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-nas-time-to-play-keep-or-return#post-381216 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 05:58:17 +0000 AJ 381216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all...wow, how gorgeous you look in these photos! </p> <p>The sweater is cute. I also like the blazer and the tunic. The dress is not singing to me. The sunnies are definite keepers!</p> <p>A productive shopping trip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-nas-time-to-play-keep-or-return#post-381199 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 05:24:46 +0000 catgirl 381199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth, I actually tried the sweater on over one of the Halogen seamed skirts and it looked surprisingly good. Just a thought... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-nas-time-to-play-keep-or-return#post-381167 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 03:35:46 +0000 Janet 381167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the sweater, I usually shy away from boxy. The jacket is a 10 to me! I also like the blouse tucked. The dress is not doing it for me, I'm afraid -- I think your instincts are right. Oh, and the sunglasses are fab.</p> <p>You're so pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-nas-time-to-play-keep-or-return#post-381118 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 01:54:39 +0000 Lisa 381118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1-I like it but I don't love it. I vote return. Perhaps if the cable knit were smaller in size?<br /> #3-Love this piece on you, the fit is great, the neckline is really interesting and the color is lovely I vote keep.<br /> #5-Great print on you, the size is nice and it just looks like a fun top, I vote keep.<br /> #7-Sorry I am not a fan of this dress, I like the idea, but it looks too big on you overall, I vote return.<br /> #9-Fun sunglasses, these look like the right size and shape on you. You look like a movie star in these!<br /> What a pretty face you have, you are quite the beauty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-nas-time-to-play-keep-or-return#post-381110 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 01:45:50 +0000 Beth 381110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! I was walking out of Nordstrom this afternoon already thinking, "next up is YLF feedback." It also never ends up surprising me how useful taking pictures can be.</p> <p>I think I'll keep the sweater and try it with a long, fitted underlayer. I'll definitely be wearing it with dark denim.</p> <p>I'm so glad the sunnies win universal approval! </p> <p>Looking at it again, I like the blouse better tucked (apparently Hades has indeed frozen over...I've tucked and liked it. My goodness. What next?). It'll be a nice weekend option.</p> <p>The dress is probably going back. Inge has a good point. While the top fits, the skirt looks too large and I'm no longer willing to wear anything that doesn't make me feel just right.</p> <p>The jacket will also stay (the shoulders fit very snugly).</p> <p>And Una, you've made my night! Probably my week. I've spent enough energy lately being irritated with my short waist that I'll take "stunning" and run with it:) I'm going to glide away on a cloud of positive energy now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-nas-time-to-play-keep-or-return#post-381102 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 01:17:00 +0000 crazyone 381102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth, I do like the sweater, I just don't like it with these white jeans! try layering a longer top underneath and wearing it with jeans or a very casual skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-nas-time-to-play-keep-or-return#post-381093 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 00:47:24 +0000 Jjsloane 381093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all you look amazing in everything. My opinions are on the items for you. I love the trouve blazer, and the sunglasses. You can never have enough of those Halogen skirts. The CK dress doesn't do much for me on you - there are better options. The sweater is ok, but not a 10 IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-nas-time-to-play-keep-or-return#post-381090 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 00:44:36 +0000 catgirl 381090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo is not alone - I adore the sweater! I would buy only boxy grey sweaters if I could... I also love the top and the jacket. The skirt part of the dress looks too long and the whole dress a little big - could you tack up the hem so we can see how it would look shortened? Sunglasses are a definite KEEP.</p> <p>And Beth, you are so darn stunning in general... I really can see it in these photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-nas-time-to-play-keep-or-return#post-381084 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 00:23:15 +0000 Mo 381084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I must be the lone one out to really like the sweater. Yes, it definitely brings 80's and early 90's back to mind but in a good way! I also love the sunglasses and shrunken blazer. The dress I would vote return. The flowy shirt is out of my realm lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-nas-time-to-play-keep-or-return#post-381083 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 00:21:31 +0000 Angie 381083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all the new goodies too, Beth! You did extremely well you little movie star </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-nas-time-to-play-keep-or-return#post-381066 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 23:58:58 +0000 amyreh 381066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blazer and sunglasses are AMAZING! I'm questionable on the sweater, and not loving the dress. Hope that helps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-nas-time-to-play-keep-or-return#post-381059 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 23:50:39 +0000 taylor 381059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have the best smile!! i love all your new goodies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-nas-time-to-play-keep-or-return#post-381055 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 23:47:48 +0000 sarah 381055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, those sunglasses are an 11 on you. WOW. I never thought I would get so excited about sunglasses on someone!</p> <p>Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I may be the odd one out, but I *really* love the dress - it's a 10 in my book, as is the tunic.</p> <p>The jacket isn't quite up to snuff, I think because the proportions look slightly off to me.</p> <p>And I agree that the sweater is about an 8 - it would be a great casual weekend piece, and it looks super comfy, but it does bring me back to another era, and maybe that's why I can't get *super* excited about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-nas-time-to-play-keep-or-return#post-381041 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 23:30:12 +0000 Aida 381041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me the tunic and sunnies are 10s; blazer is at a 9 only because it appears the shoulders are a bit wide, if they are fit correctly then it's a 10 too. The sweater is like an 8.5; how does this look styled with non-summer bottoms? Another no vote on the dress in this size, and I agree with Inge that trying a size down may help; I don't have a problem with the length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-nas-time-to-play-keep-or-return#post-381037 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 23:26:18 +0000 rae 381037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the blazer, the flowy top, and the glasses are 10s. The glasses look SUPER good on you, actually. Nice haul. </p> <p>I just can't put my finger on why I'm not in love with the gray sweater, but you did say to be very critical, so there you go. Maybe hubby's boxy comment is just prompting me to see boxiness everywhere? </p> <p>I vote no on the dress. I think the pleats create a weird optical illusion and the maternity vibe you mentioned. Wouldn't hurt to try Inge's suggestion of a size down, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-nas-time-to-play-keep-or-return#post-381025 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 23:04:20 +0000 Inge 381025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it possible the Calvin Klein dress is a bit too big on you, Beth?<br /> I like the grey of the sweater with your white pants, I'm not the biggest fan of chunkier cable knits, so I'll leave that to the others.</p> <p>I love the shrunken blazer, the Bellatrix top!! (not boxy at all if you ask me, and the print is fab on you) and the sunglasses (love the "squarer" shape).</p> <p>Fab haul, and I'm already looking forward to round 2:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-nas-time-to-play-keep-or-return#post-381024 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 23:02:45 +0000 san 381024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-nas-time-to-play-keep-or-return#post-381020 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 22:59:01 +0000 Beth 381020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whew! Even though I studied the website and made a list, it was seriously overwhelming. There were a ton of beautiful items in warm fall colors (I thought of Jean right away) that I could cross off my list as they don't flatter me, but there were still a bunch of things to get through.</p> <p>I'll go back once the sale opens and after Angie's pics come out. But so far, I only ended up with a few possibilities. </p> <p>OK, know that none of the below pics are styled:</p> <p>#1 and #2: The Trouve Open Stitch Sweater. Boy, wearing skinny jeans and boxy sweaters brings back memories. It's cozy and soft. Runs very large. This is an XS.</p> <p>#3 and #4: Trouve Shrunken Blazer. I loved the camel version but it didn't love me. The darker version is better color-wise.</p> <p>#5 and #6: Bellatrix Split-Neck Woven Top. DH asked me if I looked boxy. He wasn't being cruel, he's just not used to the flowy look and he knows I struggle with looking boxy (darn short waist).</p> <p>#7 and #8: Calvin Klein dress: I thought I loved this until I took pictures. Now I'm getting a maternity vibe. It's not the pleats, which are stitched down. It's definitely too long and would need to be hemmed.</p> <p>#9 and #10: Kate Spade sunglasses. Right size? Shape?</p> <p>I also bought the Halogen seamed skirt in black and in the light yellow. Am I ridiculous for quadruplicating these? :O</p> <p>Please be very critical. I'm trying hard to keep a closet of only 10s. OK, a few 8s and 9s, too:) </p>
