Great 'professorial' look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-haul-undies-gym-shorts-and-winter-boots-for-dd#post-673171 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 20:50:56 +0000 sarah 673171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, Scarlet and Jonesy - I only wear my specs late at night, which also happens to be the only time I seem to be able to find time to take pics of my outfits/shopping dilemmas! I'm glad you like them. I bought them just as I was starting to hang out on YLF and didn't get any YLF "help". Phew! I guess I did ok on my own and I should wear them more often!</p> <p>Scarlet, that's interesting - I'm not so happy about the butt and hadn't thought about the thighs, but I think I can see what you mean when I look back at the photos. I'll have to give that some thought - perhaps part of the problem is that these pants don't come in petite, so perhaps the proportions are off. The great thing about Nordstrom's is that I could hang on to these for awhile while I look around for others. Thanks for taking the time to chime back in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-haul-undies-gym-shorts-and-winter-boots-for-dd#post-673163 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 20:27:51 +0000 Scarlet 673163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes, I forgot to mention that the glasses and hair look super fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-haul-undies-gym-shorts-and-winter-boots-for-dd#post-673160 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 20:26:49 +0000 Scarlet 673160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, for me from all views what I see is too much fabric at the thigh. (I see most people feel differently though.) I just know personally I could find some trousers that fit me the way these ones do you, and that I could also find others that fit with a bit more shape, but not at all tight. I actually think the butt looks good. It's the thigh that seems too big to my eye. I feel like these are cut for a woman with a heavier leg. Maybe the tailor could taper the thigh to the knee a bit? I guess the other thing is that you seem not to feel good, but in choosing something to wear in front of a crowded room, I would want to feel 100% good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-haul-undies-gym-shorts-and-winter-boots-for-dd#post-673159 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 20:26:45 +0000 Jonesy 673159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I forgot to mention your specs--are those new glasses? Or maybe you don't normally wear them for your WIWs? At any rate, they look fab on you, especially with your shorter 'do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-haul-undies-gym-shorts-and-winter-boots-for-dd#post-673155 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 20:21:13 +0000 sarah 673155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Amy - I just wonder if a slight nip in the center seam would take in some of the bagginess, while allowing them to still drape. I do have a pretty flat butt, and no hips, so they seem to have something extra going on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-haul-undies-gym-shorts-and-winter-boots-for-dd#post-673140 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 20:07:33 +0000 Amy 673140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FWIW, Classic trousers shouldn't hug your backside too much...they should drape nicely. A lot of trousers in the stores these days are being shaped more like jeans, e.g. many Express pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-haul-undies-gym-shorts-and-winter-boots-for-dd#post-673117 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 19:49:12 +0000 Inge 673117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really think these trousers look great on you, Sarah, and the light grey looks stunning with that coral shirt - such a flattering colour on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-haul-undies-gym-shorts-and-winter-boots-for-dd#post-673099 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 19:32:17 +0000 sarah 673099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks, everyone.</p> <p>Scarlet, I really appreciate your honest opinion. Is it mostly the back that's bothering you? Or the entire cut? If it's the back, I'm thinking about seeing whether a tailor could do some alterations to take in the loose fabric. What do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-haul-undies-gym-shorts-and-winter-boots-for-dd#post-673073 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 18:59:37 +0000 Meredith1953 673073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the trousers! I am so sorry the other items didn't work out but being PPP will pay off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-haul-undies-gym-shorts-and-winter-boots-for-dd#post-673031 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 18:01:07 +0000 Scarlet 673031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, I am sorry but I want to be honest. I really think you can do better for a nice pair of pants. These trousers just don't look cut right even though I like the fabric, and I am sure you can find something else that makes you feel great. Too bad the Boucle biker jacket didn't work out. I really like the idea of it. I am sure there are lots of fab fall items in your future. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-haul-undies-gym-shorts-and-winter-boots-for-dd#post-672975 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 16:57:06 +0000 harmonica 672975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the trousers on you and I don't see any wrong with the back view. And you are not going to stand like that in any case (at least not when lecturing ) --- photos can be far meaner than RL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-haul-undies-gym-shorts-and-winter-boots-for-dd#post-672944 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 16:12:07 +0000 sarah 672944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie. I'll be in good company : )</p> <p>Hmmm...sorry the links are bad. I redid them. Maybe I was logged in or something when I created them.

I have them :)</p> <p>I can't see any of your rejects </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-haul-undies-gym-shorts-and-winter-boots-for-dd#post-672933 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 15:57:29 +0000 sarah 672933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, Jonesy - maybe I should check out that poncho for *my* daughter! But have fun with Sveta this weekend. I haven't braved the actual store - it's 1/2 hour away, and I'm a bit wimpy when it comes to fighting crowds. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-haul-undies-gym-shorts-and-winter-boots-for-dd#post-672910 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 15:30:55 +0000 Jonesy 672910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your pithy dismissals of almost everything you ordered :). I struck out at NAS too (just ordered the python booties, and returned them, though I got my daughter a cute hooded poncho), though I'm hoping I might be able to score something at the actual store on Saturday. </p> <p>Anyway, I think these pants are really good looking on you! The cut looks beautiful and that tweedy gray (is that what they are?) is so versatile, at least for me. I can kind of see what you mean about the rear (I think we once talked about Team Flat Bottom around here, and I am certainly on that team!), but I think they look good and you look good in them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-haul-undies-gym-shorts-and-winter-boots-for-dd#post-672872 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 14:32:51 +0000 Lisa 672872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great color and texture in these trousers. I find shopping for work trousers very difficult, nice find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-haul-undies-gym-shorts-and-winter-boots-for-dd#post-672843 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 13:54:26 +0000 sarah 672843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Amy. I'm actually not "not happy". I'm still trying to decide. That's a good suggestion about the tailor - maybe she could work some magic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-haul-undies-gym-shorts-and-winter-boots-for-dd#post-672815 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 13:28:36 +0000 Amy 672815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, if you're not happy with those trousers, then send them back; however, I was going to say the fit looks really nice. Those types of wrinkles may be caused by how you're standing and the quick-n-dirty pinning job you did at the hems. If you're on the fence, take them in to your tailor to see what he/she thinks about that... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-haul-undies-gym-shorts-and-winter-boots-for-dd#post-672807 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 13:16:49 +0000 sarah 672807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isis, the sizing was completely different from the original version (much larger) and it seemed like the waistband would "show", so they're going back. Sigh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-haul-undies-gym-shorts-and-winter-boots-for-dd#post-672801 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 13:09:13 +0000 Isis 672801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought you were going to brighten our mornings by modeling your new undies!</p> <p>I agree the new pants seem to be a little wrinkley in the butt---they do look nice from the front and sides. Sounds like you aren't thrilled, so pass on.</p> <p>I LOVE the black Kors jacket that is coming your way, high hopes for that!</p> <p>Did you like the cotton version of the boyshorts? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-haul-undies-gym-shorts-and-winter-boots-for-dd#post-672785 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 12:09:14 +0000 sarah 672785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Deborah. Yes, these would be "lecturing" trousers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-haul-undies-gym-shorts-and-winter-boots-for-dd#post-672783 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 12:05:44 +0000 Deborah 672783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these pants a lot Sarah! And I love the two jackets that are on their way to you<br /> Are the pants primarily for work? The fit looks good and i like the look of the fabric. They would look great with a blazer. Classic and stylish </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-haul-undies-gym-shorts-and-winter-boots-for-dd#post-672775 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 11:52:00 +0000 sarah 672775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So far I haven't done very well at NAS this year. Along with the aforementioned items, these are the only contenders, and I'm wondering what you think. They are the Classiques Entier trousers. Excuse the wonky pose - I've pinned up the extra 8" or so very roughly, and am standing on my toes just to give you a sense of what they might eventually look like when hemmed. I'm not very taken with the rear view : (. I don't have quite enough derriere to fill them out. And I wish they had belt loops. But otherwise, they are very nice trousers. If I do keep them, there will have to be another post about which shoes to hem them for.</p> <p>The rejects that are going back:<br /> meh on me: <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/hinge-boucle-biker-jacket/3334299?origin=related-3334299-0-1-1" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/hi.....4299-0-1-1</a><br /> fits great, but too conservative for my current style direction: <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/halogen-plaid-jacket/3282147?origin=keywordsearch&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=744" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ha.....ltback=744</a><br /> gathered sleeves are too sweet: <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/frenchi-vanity-tweed-jacket-juniors/3259936?origin=keywordsearch&#038;fashionColor=Vanity+Tweed+Blue-+Saxony&#038;resultback=0" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/fr.....sultback=0</a><br /> very odd fit: <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/nordstrom-collection-hidden-placket-silk-blouse/3270310?origin=keywordsearch&#038;fashionColor=Stone+Oatmeal&#038;resultback=1488" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/no.....tback=1488</a><br /> nothing special: <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/kate-spade-new-york-ginnie-polarized-sunglasses/3313641?origin=category&#038;fashionColor=Fawn%2F+Stripe%2F+Brown+Polarized&#038;resultback=2232" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ka.....tback=2232</a></p> <p>The things that are still in the mail:<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/michael-michael-kors-drape-front-jacket/3308816?origin=category&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=4464" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/mi.....tback=4464</a><br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/amber-sun-double-breasted-jacket/3270419?origin=category&#038;fashionColor=Blue+Ocean&#038;resultback=8928" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/am.....tback=8928</a> </p>
