Both gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-handle-one-more-nas-post#post-990445 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 19:13:23 +0000 cinnamon fern 990445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nancy, did you try a size down in the EF blouse? &nbsp;It's hard to see but it looks like you could go smaller in the shoulders. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-handle-one-more-nas-post#post-990440 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 19:09:38 +0000 rachylou 990440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you made the right choice on the blouse, ja. </p> <p>On a tangent, I've noticed sometimes sizing up can make a top look less big on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-handle-one-more-nas-post#post-990273 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 16:43:44 +0000 nancylee 990273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blouse is going back. &nbsp;Ceit and Parsley, I agree that it's not perfect and I don't love it...so why keep it?</p> <p>ManidipaM, thanks for the bootie love. &nbsp;And, you're right. &nbsp;They really are more shootie than bootie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-handle-one-more-nas-post#post-990146 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:44:35 +0000 Parsley 990146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The booties seem like a good basic that you'll wear all the time.</p> <p>The blouse is really pretty and a good color on you, but since you already have one so similar, I wonder if you should hold out for something more unique or dramatic since I know you've been wanting to work on your more artistic/ elegant eclectic&nbsp;style.&nbsp;<br />It sounds like you're not all that excited about the blouse. Why not wait for something that thrills you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-handle-one-more-nas-post#post-990140 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:38:30 +0000 ManidipaM 990140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm. I see you've made a decision on the EF, so I'll keep mum about that.</p> <p>Have to, have to congratulate you on the shooties though---I think I am in lust. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-handle-one-more-nas-post#post-990126 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:31:10 +0000 Anonymous 990126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The booties are great! I would send the blouse back until you find a silk one you love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-handle-one-more-nas-post#post-990103 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:16:28 +0000 nancylee 990103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone. &nbsp;It sounds like the booties are winners.</p> <p>Thistle, the EF blouse is a Small but I know what you mean about it looking "large." &nbsp;It has a somewhat boxy fit that I'm not loving. &nbsp;Thanks for noticing it, too....I'm starting to think this isn't something worth keeping.</p> <p>Suz, silk really is the best, isn't it? &nbsp;But I'm starting to think this EF blouse is not a keeper. &nbsp;The more I try it on and look at it the more I think it's not quite fluid and sleek enough for my style. &nbsp;There are plenty of silk blouses out there! &nbsp;</p> <p>Lisa, if I keep the EF it will be in addition to the Pleione one. &nbsp;They are different enough colors, fabrications, and styles to serve different functions. &nbsp;That said, I'm not in love with the EF. &nbsp;And I want to be in love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-handle-one-more-nas-post#post-990066 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 13:45:45 +0000 Lisa 990066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun booties, I like these a lot and vote keep.&nbsp; I like the top you already own.&nbsp; The EF looks similar but with a tad less structure.&nbsp; Would this be a replacement for your Pleione one?&nbsp; They look quite similar, if you keep, are you ok with two very similar tops? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-handle-one-more-nas-post#post-990064 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 13:45:01 +0000 Suz 990064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Booties are awesome on you, Nancy! I like the blouse, too, so really, it's up to you whether it's a good time to make the switch to silk. I know for me, wearing silk is just so wonderful. I far prefer it to anything else. (So far I only own a couple of silk blouses, but I can see my collection growing...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-handle-one-more-nas-post#post-990053 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 13:35:53 +0000 Thistle 990053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the booties. Feminine and so pretty. The EF blouse looks a bit large, but perhaps that is how it is supposed to fit, more fluid than structured? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-handle-one-more-nas-post#post-990045 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 13:29:03 +0000 nancylee 990045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was lucky enough to visit a B&amp;M Nordstrom last Friday and try on a lot of the NAS&nbsp;items that interested me. &nbsp;Alas, nothing really worked so I came home and ordered a couple of items to try.</p> <p>First, the Munro "Betsy" bootie. &nbsp;Cognac booties have been on my list since last year's NAS. &nbsp;I searched and tried all last season but never found ones that pleased me. &nbsp;These might be the ones. &nbsp;They are the right color, have a little heel, are comfy, and go with denim/pants or skirts/dresses. &nbsp;Opinions?</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/munro-betsy-bootie/3478199?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=Cognac+Kid&amp;resultback=0&amp;cm">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/mu.....38;context</a></p> <p>Second, the Eileen Fisher silk blouse in "dark tulip"&nbsp;(modeled so beautifully by Firecracker). &nbsp;It's not a need, really....just an upgrade of the Pleione blouse I bought at last year's NAS. &nbsp;Not convinced on this one.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/eileen-fisher-silk-crepe-de-chine-shirt/3492374?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=DARK+TUL">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/ei.....search-per</a></p> <p>#1-2 - booties up close<br />#3-4 - booties with VC skirt and EF blouse<br />#5 - booties with denim and EF blouse<br />#6 - the Pleione blouse I already own&nbsp;<br />#7 - Pleione up close<br />#8 - EF blouse up close</p> <p>The EF blouse from the NAS is more fluid and elegant, and it would continue my blouse upgrade efforts. &nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-upgrades">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....e-upgrades</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;It's dressy and&nbsp;more wine-colored (although it photographs red)&nbsp;while the Pleione is more purplish and casual.</p> <p>Thoughts? </p>
