I hadn’t thought ahead to fall, since summer FINALLY got here. I’m going to go through my closet to see if any blazers might work, since I don’t wear them enough as is. That first one is navy, not black. And if none do, I know what else to try! I don’t have a true boyfriend blazer other than this giant 80s shoulders one I bought at NAS last year.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-and-focused-nas#post-2271129 Mon, 11 Jul 2022 16:22:20 +0000 kkards 2271129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh that skirt is fab on! &nbsp; Love it with the black tee and sneakers! &nbsp;Dressy casualness at its best.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-and-focused-nas#post-2271120 Mon, 11 Jul 2022 15:56:43 +0000 slim cat 2271120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Graphic tee, midi skirt and sporty footwear - perfect formula in my book !

Sounds like you had some pleasant surprises!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-and-focused-nas#post-2270565 Fri, 08 Jul 2022 19:15:43 +0000 Nadya 2270565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie,&nbsp;</b>you're brilliant of course. I didn't even TRY the suit and matching blouse as a twin suit. I think it was the slacks that threw me off the look, and I could see those two being a great look and the fabric working in its favor as a comfy twin set. &nbsp;What's funny is I didn't try the blouse because I "don't like mock necks" but then I ended up buying the EF merino one my SA suggested. &nbsp;Joke's on me, and glad your customers got sorted by a pro!<div></p> <p></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-and-focused-nas#post-2270552 Fri, 08 Jul 2022 18:13:05 +0000 Laura 2270552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m so glad you got the olive pleated skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-and-focused-nas#post-2270539 Fri, 08 Jul 2022 17:08:22 +0000 kellygirl 2270539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a cohesive capsule of goodies!

I bet amazing on you! I love the matching EF skirt and top, and fun floral blouse! Hope the sneakers work out too :)</p> <p>Interestingly, I'm going to stick up for the VC twinning top and blazer set Wear them together and it looks designer. Mega fab twin sweet! VERY comfy and good forgiving fit. Soft, and polished. '90s vibe. Dressy casual and unique! Most of my NAS clients took the twin set home!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-and-focused-nas#post-2270451 Fri, 08 Jul 2022 10:31:57 +0000 kkards 2270451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of the things that I really like about this sale is the discovery, of the things you are so excited about and than find don’t work IRL, and the things that weren’t even on your radar that turn out to be total winners. good for you on being so focused and it sounds like you found some great pieces. &nbsp;Hoping the rest of the EF pieces work.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-and-focused-nas#post-2270443 Fri, 08 Jul 2022 08:39:24 +0000 Kathie 2270443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a gorgeous color palette! I hope the EF pieces work for you. Thanks for the review of the floral blouse. I love the print and was considering it myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-and-focused-nas#post-2270439 Fri, 08 Jul 2022 06:33:43 +0000 rachylou 2270439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heh… do I need to redo my NAS research and filter on browns?

The bag could probably hold sunglasses in a soft flat case, but not in a hard sided case. And if so you’d want to stick with a small wallet, or use the built in card holders. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-and-focused-nas#post-2270411 Fri, 08 Jul 2022 03:41:14 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2270411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>It's good to hear your reports. I noticed that bag in my online perusals. Would it hold a wallet and sunglasses case?</div><div>I like the looks of those Eileen Fisher items; I hadn't noticed the cardigan before. The floral top sounds like a fun wildcard for you!<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-and-focused-nas#post-2270407 Fri, 08 Jul 2022 03:22:17 +0000 delurked 2270407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback. I'm staying away from maxi skirts right now. I'm finding between knee and midi to be my preferred length. I can see how the other color would take away the "leather" look. I am also trying to stay focused, so will keep to my plans unless I really hear the siren's song. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-and-focused-nas#post-2270405 Fri, 08 Jul 2022 03:16:18 +0000 Nadya 2270405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This skirt is very light weight. It’s got the sheen of leather, but doesn’t feel like faux leather. It’s very swooshy! Honestly the black looks a bit like leather to me but the green doesn’t at all, it just looks like a nice glimmery fabric. It is VERY long. I’m 5’6” and the xxl is just above my ankles, much longer then on the model. The smaller sizes might be shorter, that sometimes happens.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-and-focused-nas#post-2270404 Fri, 08 Jul 2022 03:12:47 +0000 delurked 2270404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nadya - what great success, even if it was a bit different than you expected. I hope the other EF pieces that you ordered work as well. Good news staying focused, and away from the gray. That cashmere hoodie looks great in the picture, but sometimes it doesn't suit IRL.</p> <p>I'm a little curious about the faux leather skirt. I tried on a few faux leather skirts last year, but it seemed a lot of fabric and too heavy for my needs. I'd still love to find one someday.&nbsp; </p> <p>The bag looks like a good size to tuck into a bigger work bag.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-and-focused-nas#post-2270401 Fri, 08 Jul 2022 03:06:38 +0000 Nadya 2270401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This may have been my most fast and disciplined NAS ever. I went in with a few rules (no grey! I don’t need coats!or work shoes!). My sales associate picked everything off my wish list she could get in store and was ready with ordering info for anything not in store but still available.</p> <p><b>Nopes</b></p> <p>As often  happens, the items I was most excited about from the preview didn’t make the cut. The Vince Camuto suit is made of a very stretchy material and I would prefer something with more structure  and the whole suit together  read a little David S Pumpkins IYKWIM. The Nordstrom Signature cashmere hoodie was very nice but just not for me once I tried it on. I found the Madewell polo a bit scratchy though otherwise well made.</p> <p><b>Winners</b></p> <p>I said there was a 10% chance I’d end up with a flowered shirt, but this shirt made the cut, puffy sleeves and all. It’s 100% cotton and looked good half tucked into the black wide legged pants I was wearing.  I do have to unbutton the sleeves because they’re too short for me buttoned. My sales associate pulled the EF mock neck tunic, because I’d tagged other items in the collection that the store didn’t have. To my surprise, I liked it. She ordered me the matching skirt and cardigan, so we’ll see.</p> <p>I also grabbed this small purse which I need for work travel, the skirt I saw thanks to Laura, this awesomely cozy lounging set, and a pair of sneakers in a brand that worked really well for me last year. I’m also trying these P448s because they get such good reviews. I need to try them on with the right socks to see if they’re keepers.  And I gave in a nice causal olive green dress because I love olive green and its availability is very cyclical. </p> <p>An unusual sale in that I didn’t buy coats, jeans, non-sneaker shoes, or even pants. I was interested in pants, but nothing fit my needs or wants.  All in all, a successful sale, and no gray! Eating up the earth tones while they’re trending.</p> <p>Thanks for listening - happy shopping.</p> <p>ETA Saturday<br /> I’m taking my MIL to the sale today so team wear reporting for duty. The skirt is a bit longer than I may have implied so wanted to share a pic on my 5’6” long waisted self. Also wearing the sneaks and purse. A bit bummed that my iPhone Max Pro only fits in either closed part bag not in the open slot between them but it’s safer that way I suppose. A slightly smaller phone would fit. </p> <p>The P448s are going back today. The heel slips and I think a half size would be crowded, plus i am suspicious the last won’t work for me so not worth trying a size down. Hope this helps! </p>
