Good eye and good sense. Don't waste money on something you aren't going to be happy with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-nas-decisions#post-1837935 Sun, 20 Aug 2017 04:57:57 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1837935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay on the earrings and your new jacket! Big sad face on the peplum blouse and the booties! I really like the look of that outfit on you, but I understand about the neckline. I'm pretty picky about them, too. If it's not one that feels good or looks good to me, the top is just not going to get worn. And too bad the booties didn't fit. It seems a good color for footwear again this season though, so there may be another pair of burgundy booties that will work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-nas-decisions#post-1837761 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 15:31:02 +0000 Angie 1837761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad you were discerning. Good job. You got fab items out of it. Pity the booties are narrow. Onward.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-nas-decisions#post-1837647 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 00:32:10 +0000 JAileen 1837647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's too bad about the jacket. It's really cute. I removed a navy leather jacket from consideration because it didn't have pockets. It didn't say so in the description. I couldn't put my finger on why that top didn't work as well as the flowered one. But you're right - it was the V neck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-nas-decisions#post-1837640 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 00:09:20 +0000 karen13 1837640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While the final result is I only kept a pair of earrings. I hate having wasted Nordstrom's shipping and time (I keep thing too often from shipping guilt), but I learned a lot from my first NAS. </p> <p>The velvet bomber fit well even though not a petite ( sometimes XS reg  sleeves are short enough in jackets, I'm finding) but it looked too "junior", the flower placement emphasize my chest, and it was kind of a dolman sleeve which could not be seen from the online photos. Final nail in the coffin was NO POCKETS.</p> <p>The Caslon peplum looked much better with the narrower pants than the flares in my prior K/R post - so thanks for those suggestions. Loose boyfriend is the narrowest thing I own. I loved the fabric - crisp yet soft. But I think what threw me is the band collar - the fabric is too crisp for it to open with a V, so it looks like a crew neck unless I fiddle with it all the time. #4 shows it tucked under to simulate a high V, and I like it better. So chalk it up to learning what I like. I do recommend the top from a quality and fabric standpoint.</p> <p>Finally, and most sadly, the burgundy Born boots where I lemming'd Firecracker were adorable, were both too narrow and too long. They have a point-ier toe and different fit than my same size Born Pirlos (black Find below). But dang they looked good with the burgundy Caslon top.</p> <p>My consolation is I subsequently found the gorgeous YFL-approved WHBM denim jacket AND got it for 1/3 off, so here is to being selective and not settling. And I got a Nordie's card, so I am set for next year!</p> <p>Thanks for all the help! </p>
