Your hard work was well worth it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-adventure-part-3-and-the-last/page/2#post-396459 Tue, 02 Aug 2011 20:15:04 +0000 Aida 396459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also late to the party but had to say that I'm excited for you! These all look fantastic I really love those combat boots rolled down (like in #15). The gap on the BP boots looks fine to me for skirts/dresses! And those pretty red heels look so elegant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-adventure-part-3-and-the-last/page/2#post-396243 Tue, 02 Aug 2011 15:13:47 +0000 Carole 396243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm late to the party, but had to chime in. I had heard about your extra large shoe order and couldn't wait to see everythig. They all look fab and you have such a good cross selection of styles that should keep your feet covered in high fashion for quite some time. Don't you just love Fidji? So comfortable and stylish, I can hardly stand it! Well done my dear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-adventure-part-3-and-the-last/page/2#post-395367 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 05:15:41 +0000 AJ 395367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Every pair looks FAB on you! Nothing to worry about at all. Wow, you got a lot done on your shopping trip! I am so happy that you found 5 great pairs of shoes. I look forward to your review on them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-adventure-part-3-and-the-last#post-395365 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 05:10:24 +0000 Scarlet 395365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope to come back with more time later, but I want to be sure to say now you did AMAZING! I am so happy for you, and a bit jealous of that fab collection </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-adventure-part-3-and-the-last#post-395330 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 03:21:07 +0000 Sveta 395330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Anna, I would definitely need some pushing! I don't have a back oversize top but I have an indigo blue one - thanks for the idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-adventure-part-3-and-the-last#post-395320 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 03:12:59 +0000 annagybe 395320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Styling idea for the combat boots, skinny jeans or leans with a big black silky shirt and I think you have a menswear vest if I'm not mistaken. I'm looking forward to you pushing your horizons in these boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-adventure-part-3-and-the-last#post-395308 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 02:58:55 +0000 MNsara 395308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, about that mini gap on the BP boots: it barely shows, and I would think that any osrt of tights would take up that minimal space. Leggings will certainly fill up that tiny space. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-adventure-part-3-and-the-last#post-395303 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 02:51:39 +0000 kellygirl 395303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to the party but wanted to chime in to say that I love all of your shoes. The red Me Toos are adorable and I LOVE the tall and the rugged boots. I can't wait to see you style these goodies. Congratulations on your haul! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-adventure-part-3-and-the-last#post-395302 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 02:51:28 +0000 Sveta 395302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Steph, thanks.<br /> Anna, I am curious myself...do you think they would not work for my style? I am thinking leans or skinnies and maybe even shorter dresses. I think I need to plan around and post here and hope you guys can help me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-adventure-part-3-and-the-last#post-395299 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 02:48:36 +0000 Sveta 395299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everybody for keeping up with me today - I feel that I monopolized the forum!:)<br /> Jonesy / Kyle, I was almost crying that none of the tall boots fit perfectly - these wedge ones were the closest fit so I went for them. It is such a releif that this gap is not a deal breaker!<br /> Vildy, that red zipper had me too!<br /> Lisa, I sized up in Me Toos ( my size was a bit tight and I know that patent does not give as much as leather) so I think I would have enough room for the insert. What are you usually using?<br /> Angie, thanks for the stamp of approval! My goal was to expand my footwear collection so it gives me more options - both in styles and in colors. You said on the other thread that brown oxfords are better for me - and now I am beating myself for not keeping them both... but I really want to wear them in summer more with bare legs and I think grey work better.<br /> Suz, it was really exciting to have that many shoes to try on!<br /> Heather, I need to live with them through the fall and see - I have returned 4 out of 5 pairs I bought on last NAS because I did not have much choice in the store and settled on what was available instead. Let's see if this strategy works better for me.<br /> Ornela, oxfords and combat boots are new to me too. I have no idea if I will be able to incorporate them into my style successfully but I want to give it a try - it is more fun to step out of your comfort zone! I cannot really say which pair was #5 - maybe Fidjis as they were the most expensive and not on sale?:-)<br /> Joy, that is a great though about knee high socks - I have never tried that!<br /> Rachel, thanks for your endorsement of the combat boots - this is a new style for me.<br /> Jjsloane, I hope you find your pair of red patent pumps soon!<br /> Isabella, I knew I cannot be the only one who loves that red zipper!<br /> lyn, I really love these boots too - too bad they would be way wide in the calf for you!<br /> Rita, combat boots are out of my comfort zone yet - I am trying to expand my style horizons!:-)<br /> Kim, I will definitely tell him that!<br /> Sarah, yes, I did!!!!!<br /> Rae, my hubby suggested to lace the flaps - I was thinking that having flaps unlaced will add that extra volume to balance my thick legs...I guess I would need to play around with this.<br /> Anne, that pile of shoes was much bigger than what you had to endure on my behalf last fall!;-)<br /> Sara, I was aiming to pick up footwear different from each other and from what I have now - nice to know I succeeded.<br /> Marianna, that was incredible to have that much choice! It really helps to focus on the fit when you have ability to compare and other styles to chose from. I am not going to shop for footwear any other way anymore. Fidjis were 12.5, not in European sizes. I did not even ordered size 12 in them as I knew they run a bit small. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-adventure-part-3-and-the-last#post-395293 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 02:31:28 +0000 annagybe 395293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the combat boots, but I'm really curious as how you're going to style them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-adventure-part-3-and-the-last#post-395289 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 02:28:34 +0000 Steph 395289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on finding so many great pairs of shoes. I am SO happy for you because I know how difficult shoes can be for you to find. I think everything looks great, and I don't think the boots are too big! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-adventure-part-3-and-the-last#post-395286 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 02:17:06 +0000 marianna 395286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. You did soooo well! I am super envious... all the shoes are fab fab fab! Did you take a 43 in the Fidjis? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-adventure-part-3-and-the-last#post-395252 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 01:29:55 +0000 MNsara 395252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - Sveta - you sure made up for the first 'failed' NAS spree. I love every single pair of shoes/boots here (enough to go check out those lace-ups - grrr, you!) and adore how they all are so differnt from each other. No real overlaps, but a wide variety of gorgeous footwear for now and fall/winter.</p> <p>I'm just so pleased for you. You certainly seem to have a savvy grasp on your footwear style </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-adventure-part-3-and-the-last#post-395246 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 01:24:51 +0000 Sparky 395246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hurrah! You did SO WELL for footwear!</p> <p>I was absolutely drawn to the Me Too red pumps when I saw them during presale I didn't try them on b/c I didn't need them but I think they are just gorgeous. They look stellar on you.</p> <p>The oxfords were another shoe I admired during presale; I think the gray will get a lot of wear with the rest of your wardrobe.</p> <p>The cognac boots are a no-brainer to keep. They look great on you and very well fitted from the back, side and front, so I see no reason they won't work for skirts.</p> <p>The Fidjis look FANTASTIC on you!! Drool!</p> <p>The combat boots are another 10. All this new footwear is really going to take your outfits up a notch: I'm guessing you will be sending Angie into orbit on a regular basis come fall and winter. :)</p> <p>You made tremendously fab picks, and you were so thoughtful with your choices. I can't wait to see the outfits you put together with your NAS haul! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-adventure-part-3-and-the-last#post-395240 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 01:15:06 +0000 rae 395240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't argue with a single thing! Although I guessed you would choose the brown oxfords, the gray look outstanding in these pics - you and hubs were right; this color is great and low contrast for wearing with bare legs. I don't think the cognac boots are too big at all, and the combat boots are SO fun! I'm a sucker for convertible items, and the red zipper is too cute. I prefer them laced when folded over to keep a sleeker leg line, but that is the only possible thing I can find to nit-pick. </p> <p>So happy you had such success after your first trip out to NAS. The online ordering was worth it 100%! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-adventure-part-3-and-the-last#post-395237 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 01:12:56 +0000 sarah 395237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did it, Sveta!!!!!!! All of your perseverance paid off, and there you are - set for the season! Congratulations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-adventure-part-3-and-the-last#post-395234 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 01:06:58 +0000 Queen Mum 395234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I read every word of your NAS mini-series Sveta and loved it. You got some fabulous stuff there. Love those red shoes adn the oxfords, and the boots... gosh I love everything! Not a bad purchase in the lot.<br /> Tell hubby we sincerely appreciate his patience in photographing the weekend </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-adventure-part-3-and-the-last#post-395208 Sun, 31 Jul 2011 23:52:36 +0000 modgrl 395208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those bp boots, they look like they were made for you. The oxfords and nude fidji's are great too! I'm not as excited about the combat boots, but I'm sure you will find a great way to style them. Congrats on the great haul! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-adventure-part-3-and-the-last#post-395206 Sun, 31 Jul 2011 23:46:49 +0000 lyn* 395206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The boots in 7/8 are delicious ... and definitely not too big. Oh; I love those! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-adventure-part-3-and-the-last#post-395202 Sun, 31 Jul 2011 23:38:36 +0000 Marigold 395202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a score!! You must be very delighted, I'm so happy you found all you wanted AND MORE! Love the rich color and elegant look of the pumps, they look awesome with jeans as well, the gold detail only adds more interest :). The boots are beautiful and fit you wonderfully, I see only the smallest gap on top, if any, and they will look smashing with leggings as well, they look fab with the dress already. The low contrasts Fidjis and oxford are very flattering and versatile, perfect with your coloring, and you just can't go wrong with the combat booties with that red zipper at back! Congrats on the loot </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-adventure-part-3-and-the-last#post-395190 Sun, 31 Jul 2011 23:07:04 +0000 Jjsloane 395190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great collection you scored. I agree with everything Ornella said about them. I wasn't sure at first about the red pumps, but when you're facing front your legs look great and I love red patent (looking myself actually). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-adventure-part-3-and-the-last#post-395180 Sun, 31 Jul 2011 22:49:59 +0000 Rachel 395180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so happy for you Sveta, all these are absolutely fab!!!<br /> I think the fit of the boots is good and love the zip up the back.<br /> Also on the last pair I see you getting a lot of wear out of these. They look comfortable and will add such a nice 'edge' to outfits and yay for versatility : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-adventure-part-3-and-the-last#post-395167 Sun, 31 Jul 2011 22:28:04 +0000 Anonymous 395167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Every pair is a wonderful addition to your wardrobe. What great choices! The BP Runway boots don't look too big al all but you may be happy to be able to fit a pair of wolly knee socks inside them in cold weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-adventure-part-3-and-the-last#post-395158 Sun, 31 Jul 2011 22:00:57 +0000 Ornella 395158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1-2. Love them. Beautiful, deep color. Fun detailing.<br /> 3-4. These are the taste I still haven't acquired, but I love the final choice, they look great on you and also look ultra comfy.<br /> 5-6. Love these. They too look very comfortable and are also very funky.<br /> 7-11. The boots are my favorite of the lot. I wouldn't worry about width on top (admittingly, I still have a lot to learn about boots' fits) but I can't wait to see them in action. Love the zipper at the back.<br /> 12-17. Combat boots are the style I know least about, so I'll pass. But I must say I adore the red zipper.</p> <p>I know you were after 4 pairs, so I'd like to know which pair sneaked in as the 5th one you couldn't leave behind ;)</p> <p>My dad had troubles with finding good quality shoes his whole life and sometimes used to go back and buy 2nd pair of the same style if he'd realized they'd work for him. His approach is therefore that the good shoes cannot be too expensive. With that in mind and knowing you were on a real mission here, my conclusion is - mission accomplished. Enjoy your fab findings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-adventure-part-3-and-the-last#post-395154 Sun, 31 Jul 2011 21:55:55 +0000 Heather 395154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, an overall congratulations on your NAS haul. I am soooo happy for you and I hope you feel confident in your new pieces for Fall, too. ;D</p> <p>p.s. Your DH is so great to brave the battle with you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-adventure-part-3-and-the-last#post-395153 Sun, 31 Jul 2011 21:54:23 +0000 Suz 395153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those red zippers made me zing! They will be fantastic on you. And all the other shoes look great, as well. The red ones look like a gorgeous colour. And the nude ones do not appear granny-like to me at all; quite the reverse. The tall boots are a terrific colour. I think you did brilliantly, and it must feel so good to have a choice of footwear in your size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-adventure-part-3-and-the-last#post-395151 Sun, 31 Jul 2011 21:53:47 +0000 Angie 395151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! You did it!! Everything looks absolutely marvelous!!! </p> <p>KILLER footwear loot. </p> <p>Sveta, I am *so* happy for you. You were extremely upset when you drove down to Nordies a few weeks ago, but look at you now. You are POWER. </p> <p>:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-adventure-part-3-and-the-last#post-395136 Sun, 31 Jul 2011 21:25:40 +0000 Lisa 395136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these are a success! I am keeping an eye out for your comfort reviews as you wear these to walk to work.<br /> #1-Me Too Pump-I find patent material shoes work best for me with a footped inside to prevent rubbing from my sweaty feet. If you get blisters I would try this trick. The gold buckle is so fun! I almost want to pick these up for myself after seeing you model them.<br /> #3-Gray oxford-Great choice, I like the leg lengthening from the lighter color too.<br /> #5-Fidgi-I am also curious on the comfort for this brand. I like the style here, they are edgy and cool, no grandma vibes at all.<br /> #7-BP boots-These look fine fit wise. I don't see enough of a gap to worry about. These will be great for dresses and skinnies. Love the wedge heel.<br /> #12-SM boots-These are super fun, the red zipper is great! A bit of a tough girl vibe with these.</p> <p>Overall all your hard work was a resounding success! Super job! </p>
