That's quite a tall compliment...ha, ha! I'm thrilled you thought so...I like to look lean and tall!</p> <p>You and I seem to have similar body types...I also wear regular sized pants, but petite tops...</p> <p>Thanks for your feedback on my goodies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas-items-help-me-decide/page/2#post-678389 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 06:44:41 +0000 CocoLion 678389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought for sure you were at least 5'8", I had no idea you were a petite sister (I need petite jackets but regular pants, I have a really short torso and short arms!).</p> <p>I think all of this is fantastic and the grey and brown jackets that aren't being loved as much as the other read as professional in a good humble way. Not like big ego professional which loud colors can subconsciously convey.</p> <p>I also really like the color blocked pencil skirt and the b&amp;w Nexx blouse, although the loose in the shoulders look of the blouse does make it look a more casual than all of your other choices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas-items-help-me-decide/page/2#post-678366 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 03:20:20 +0000 KathyL 678366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so great in these! My compliments to your "amateur" photographer husband. The leather jacket is perfect on you. I really love the Lafayette jacket as well. The suits look great on you, and I think they will work well as separates too. I'm not in love with the halogen skirt or the nexx blouse. They look a little ill-fitting, especially in comparison to how well the others fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas-items-help-me-decide/page/2#post-678177 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 00:21:15 +0000 Sunita 678177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wowza...I earned the K-word from Angie! </p> <p>And my husband is chuffed to bits by all your compliments that I relayed to him!</p> <p>Phoebe: Welcome to the forum...you looked amazing in your outfits for Angie's blog! So amazing that I promptly placed an order for those booties!! Thanks for your take on the pants...I plan to have them hemmed just a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas-items-help-me-decide/page/2#post-678031 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 22:32:58 +0000 Phoebe 678031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am loving the leather jacket and the pants suit!! I would alter the pants suit just a little bit in the leg length... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas-items-help-me-decide#post-678029 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 22:29:51 +0000 Anonymous 678029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry to say that I won't be able to help you save any money because everything is just fabulous on you. You look beautiful in every single item and your husband takes amazing pictures! Please tell him for me. You will have THE most amazing fall/winter wardrobe ever (I'm remembering a few particularly fab jacket purchases from last year, too.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas-items-help-me-decide#post-678015 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 22:12:13 +0000 Angie 678015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it all! Especially the suits, leather jacket and the trench coat! All KILLER.</p> <p>My least favourite items are #10, but they are still fabulous if that makes sense. I'm just helping you cull </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas-items-help-me-decide#post-678001 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 21:54:39 +0000 shiny 678001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. I love everything. And I am thrilled to see you are petite!! We wear the same size! You are now tempting me because I am guessing that what works on you would also work on me. </p> <p>The suits: I love both of them. I think you will get a lot of mileage mixing and matching, dressing down and up. That plaid Halogen jacket was my favorite (the fit in pic 6 is impeccable), but I also love the leather detailing on the Lafayette, and I can tell you that I get a LOT a LOT of mileage out of my similar tweed pants. </p> <p>The leather jacket... um, return it so I can buy it. Just kidding!</p> <p>My least favorite is the red trench. I love the color, but there is something "off" to me about the fit. I am this way with trenches myself. Something about trenches tends to overpower petite frames. If you have to return something, I'd return that and keep looking. But if you can afford all, keep all. </p> <p>I love the purple on you. I am a huge fan of colorblock, so I love the skirt/blouse combo. The jacket is great too... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas-items-help-me-decide#post-677957 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 19:53:27 +0000 DeniseP 677957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sunita, you are lovely and photograph so well. As I was looking at your photos, I said, "she must be a model."</p> <p>The trench is wonderful, and the color complements you well. I wanted that trench badly but thought the red would make me look ill.</p> <p>The Lafayette purple jacket is fabulous. You wear color so well.</p> <p>The white blouse with black trim is sharp looking with your hair and skin tone.</p> <p>The black halogen is great. I have the brown one, but it doesn't look this good on me. </p> <p>For suiting pieces, I like 15 , 16 , 18 . I understand that you need basics, but love more color on you. Maybe pick one pant suit, and one skirt suit. Just an idea.</p> <p>Love your style... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas-items-help-me-decide#post-677940 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 19:33:56 +0000 Sylvie 677940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great photos! It's so nice to see a real live person wearing these clothes with good lighting. You make a beautiful model and your husband clearly has photography "skillz".</p> <p>My favorites are:</p> <p>Trench<br /> Nexx blouse and skirt<br /> Lafayette jacket<br /> Leather jacket </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas-items-help-me-decide#post-677920 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 19:08:05 +0000 JR 677920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>RE: the suits, I think you look particularly lovely in the skirts. I can't tell you why exactly I prefer them to the pants (not that you look bad in them), they just jump out at me more.</p> <p>The red trench is absolutely wonderful.</p> <p>The purple skirt is okay, but doesn't seem to make you look as fabulous as almost everything else does. I'm not the greatest fan of colour-blocking, so it might be my personal tastes more than a problem with the outfit.</p> <p>And here's to photographer husbands, amateur or otherwise! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas-items-help-me-decide#post-677904 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 18:49:10 +0000 ironkurtin 677904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas-items-help-me-decide#post-677900 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 18:47:53 +0000 Amy 677900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it all, Sunita! Our wardrobes are very similar now. I like the suits just fine. You are too darned pretty and your husband did a great job with these photos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas-items-help-me-decide#post-677887 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 18:25:59 +0000 Kate 677887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You would make an excellent catalog model, Sunita. I'd buy anything you had on! I actually like all of these, including the suits, which look to fit you perfectly. I particularly love the trench, the leather jacket and the Lafayette jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas-items-help-me-decide#post-677872 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 18:05:42 +0000 JenA 677872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I thought these were the pictures from the website until I blew them up and then I did an eye-popping, double-take "WOW" because you are beautiful. </p> <p>I love these colors on you. The red trench and the black leather jacket are perfect - perfectly edgy, fun, &amp; sexy. </p> <p>I think you look great in the suits and I love the mixing options. I'm not a fit expert so I'll leave that to Angie. </p> <p>Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas-items-help-me-decide#post-677867 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 17:54:55 +0000 rae 677867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wowza, let's just slap you into the catalogue while there's still time - you would really MOVE some merch, I think!</p> <p>I was going to ask if 11 was to large, because of the back and the shoulders, but it may just be the poses as you said in the ETA section. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas-items-help-me-decide#post-677857 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 17:39:40 +0000 cjh 677857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I really like the black and white blouse with the black and plum skirt. Sharp! The red trench looks wonderful with your coloring.</p> <p>Great photos, too. Thanks for sharing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas-items-help-me-decide#post-677819 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 17:01:05 +0000 Makrame 677819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I figured that as part of a work capsule these jackets would be great. Just not as exciting as your other purchases. I think they look really good for office wear with matching skirts/pants, and the petite sleeve length looks great to me. I especially like the skirt suit options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas-items-help-me-decide#post-677764 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 16:23:18 +0000 bmed 677764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the red trench! LOVE! The black leather is fab also...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas-items-help-me-decide#post-677754 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 16:09:20 +0000 Sunita 677754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the great feedback! </p> <p>I see that the gray and brown jackets are not getting much love. They are part of a work capsule, and have matching pants and skirts for office suits. I've attached some pics (with the old jackets that had sleeves too long) so you can see how I intend to use them. </p> <p>I know they're not too exciting, but I need basic suits for work...so there you go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas-items-help-me-decide#post-677733 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 15:49:14 +0000 Makrame 677733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous photos! You could model for a Nordstrom catalog!</p> <p>I agree with some of the comments above that the brown plain jacket is my least favorite. I am also not so sure about the grey Halogen jacket just because I am not completely sold on the black trim on it. Everything else looks great, with my favorites being the red trench and the colorblock skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas-items-help-me-decide#post-677728 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 15:42:27 +0000 MNsara 677728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me, too! I like everything! (I'm fascinated with the photos from your hubby - the back drop and lighting help me *see* you and the clothing so clearly - it's amazing!!)</p> <p>If you were looking to trim down your purchases any, my least favorite might be the brown plaid jacket. The fit is great, but I'm seeing it through my -wary-of-brown-plaid filter and prefer you in the grey and, of course, that fab purple jacket ;-)</p> <p>I adore that rear mini-peplum on the leather. I wish more coats did that (as opposed to the strong horizontal line across my NOT petite backside!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas-items-help-me-decide#post-677711 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 15:20:05 +0000 Transcona Shannon 677711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I actually like everything! There - that was easy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas-items-help-me-decide#post-677700 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 15:09:44 +0000 RunnerChick 677700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The leather jacket is lovely (great vibe, and it also looks like something that'll be versatile). I also like the Lafayette jacket and the trench for their rich color -- both look lovely on you, and the colors are guaranteed to make your outfits pop, I think. The outfit in which you're wearing the Nexx shirt is very stylish (great shoes!) but I don't have strong feelings about the shirt or the other pieces. The pics are fab - it looks like a professional photo shoot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas-items-help-me-decide#post-677698 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 15:09:13 +0000 Sunita 677698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah: I added another picture of the leather jacket: a back shot for the shoulder view. Unfortunately, my husband snapped this one as I was turning, so the back looks all wrinkly... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas-items-help-me-decide#post-677689 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 15:04:32 +0000 Kristin L 677689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the jackets on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas-items-help-me-decide#post-677688 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 15:03:55 +0000 Lisa 677688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! These photos are wonderful! At first I thought I was looking at a magazine. The trench in #1 is stellar on you, certainly a keeper. I like everything here except 7-9, it's a great color tweed blazer, but the sleeves look a tad too short to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas-items-help-me-decide#post-677686 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 15:02:22 +0000 Jamie 677686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(So jealous of your access to great photo shoots!) Everything looks good on you, but the one item just jumps out at me is the leather jacket. Really good on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas-items-help-me-decide#post-677680 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 15:00:27 +0000 merwoman 677680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so beautiful Sunita!<br /> My fav is the Layfayette jacket - it just pops off the screen - beautiful fit and colour for you.<br /> Next - B&amp;W shirt, and leather jacket - fit and coulour is exquisite. Love the edge the black leather kacket gives you.<br /> Red trench also gets my vote. Am so-so on the other two jackets - they are ok, but pale in comparison to your other goodies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas-items-help-me-decide#post-677675 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 14:56:48 +0000 sarah 677675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good grief. I wish I had a place to take good photos - it's much easier to judge things that way. Alas, we will never have a home studio. That red trench was MADE for you, and the Halogen and Lafayette jackets fit you perfectly. I'm wondering if the NEXX blouse is still too big in the shoulders, but I know that these tend to run that way, and it's probably fine. The leather jacket looks good BUT I can't tell from the way you're standing whether or not the shoulders are too broad. Can you possibly post another pic with your arms down? </p>
