The dress fit looks good in the picture, but I know from experience that pictures can be deceiving. If the waist feels too large, I would get it altered. The dress will look even better. I have never felt like alterations were money wasted. Everything altered looks and feels so much better that I wear it more frequently and get my money's worth. Tanya on "My NAS haul, rounds 1 & 2" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-haul-rounds-1-2#post-1826544 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 10:44:32 +0000 Tanya 1826544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you very much, everyone!  I am very happy with all of these pieces and decided to take the dress to the tailor to have the waist taken in. Julesgr, I am not sure which of the two motos you are referring too.    The VB striped knit moto fits TTS - I got it in size 2, which is my usual size in most topper.   The leather moto is fitted if you go with your true size, like I did here with it XS.   I did not try it in a size up despite the recommendation.  The XS is snug, but not tight on me, plus leather relaxes with wear.    Anonymous on "My NAS haul, rounds 1 & 2" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-haul-rounds-1-2#post-1826523 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 09:16:48 +0000 Anonymous 1826523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ WOW.    Style Fan on "My NAS haul, rounds 1 & 2" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-haul-rounds-1-2#post-1826521 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 09:09:11 +0000 Style Fan 1826521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Everything looks gorgeous Tanya.  That dress is beautiful on you.  Definitely worth the alterations.  Both of the motos are great.  All of the outfits are fab.  Amy Isabella on "My NAS haul, rounds 1 & 2" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-haul-rounds-1-2#post-1826513 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 08:10:56 +0000 Amy Isabella 1826513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love everything - it all looks gorgeous on you Tanya.

They are all gorgeous and all look so lovely on you! My favorite is the striped Moto. What a great jacket. I too would like to add more ink/navy. I got the pinstripe blouse too and I think it's a keeper. julesegr on "My NAS haul, rounds 1 & 2" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-haul-rounds-1-2#post-1826442 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 02:38:16 +0000 julesegr 1826442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love it all. The skirt looks adorable on you and I like the wedges, too. And of course, that moto!! How do you think it runs? I have my larger size ordered but not my TTS size. Fab haul!

The dress is beautiful! If I needed another dress I would be snapping it up myself!  The VB moto is killer great on you -- I am so tempted but trying to hold off as experience tells me I would not wear it enough in my short season.  Love the other moto, too.  Joyce B on "My NAS haul, rounds 1 & 2" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-haul-rounds-1-2#post-1826414 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 01:52:53 +0000 Joyce B 1826414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look fab in your haul!

Nordstrom should pay you to model: the Cole Haan shoes and the VB moto both look better on you than the stock photos.

These are all amazing. That dress looks like it was made for you, and the moto is simply perfect.  The skirt is also divine. Seriously, it's like NAS knew you were shopping and said, "Hey, let's make this stuff for Tanya!"

I think you picked a great mix of pieces. I think that I like the dress and the VB Moto jacket outfits best although they are all great.

Angie, the issue is much more visible from the side due the jersey material collapsing on itself.  I am holding up the extra material scrunched with my hand in photo #2. Angie on "My NAS haul, rounds 1 & 2" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-haul-rounds-1-2#post-1826372 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 00:57:45 +0000 Angie 1826372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ KILLER ALL ROUND - accept for the VB moto, which is Killer to the Power of Killer. WOW. You had the best sale, Tanya. I can't think of anyone more deserving than very wonderful you.  About the dress, I can't see that it's roomy in waist in the pic, but I trust your judgement. Have it altered.  UmmLila (Lisa) on "My NAS haul, rounds 1 & 2" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-haul-rounds-1-2#post-1826366 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 00:49:15 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1826366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the green dress on you! Tanya on "My NAS haul, rounds 1 & 2" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-haul-rounds-1-2#post-1826364 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 00:46:16 +0000 Tanya 1826364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ As promised, here are photos of my NAS haul.  Unfortunately, I still got home pretty late, and while the light is better than yesterday, it is still not great, but I won't be able to get home earlier in the day for quite a while (including weekends), so this is it for now. Here are the items I am keeping from my two ordering rounds.  I also got 2 bras and 6 pairs of undies, and the only item I returned was the VB striped blazer from round 1, and then ordered the VB striped moto for round 2.  The only item I am not 100% sure off is the dress, and I will get on that in moment. My haul consists of two navy moto jackets, two pairs of shoes, a pair of pants, a skirt, a dress and a blouse.  I am trying to build a business casual work wardrobe, stay away from black and veer more towards navy.  I am also trying to refrain from buying too many tops of any kind, as that is by far the largest category  in my wardrobe.  There may or may not be round 3 of NAS, as I need to sit down and do some calculations for my budget. #1-2: Eliza J sheath dress.  Great dress, well made and lined.   It has a common dress fit issue for me: lots of excess material in the waist area, both front and back, due to the fact that the narrowest point of the dress hits higher on my very long torso than it should, and that my waist is of smaller size than my shoulders and hips.  I am considering keeping it and altering the waist area, unless you give me different advice. #3-5: LaMarque navy leather moto, Halogeen tweed skirt and Cole Haan suede wedges.  In the leather moto I got my usual XS, instead of sizing up as the sire recommends, and I am glad I did not follow that recommendation.  The skirt is TTS, perhaps a little small. I sized up half a size in Cole Haan wedges, which I usually do with that brand.   The shoes are gorgeous, lightweight, well made and the footbed is very comfy, but they are 3" tall.  I needed a pair of higher shoes to wear with my flares, and since I spend most of my at work sitting I think the height should be manageable.  #6: VB striped moto, Halogen ponte pants and pewter oxfords ( you have already seen this yesterday).  Everything is TTS. #7: Classiques Entier silk blouse.  It runs a little large, but due to my shoulders I can wear it, and I do not mind that it is loose in the waist area as the silk is lovely and drapes beautifully.
