I might have to be more picky next time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-items-pt1#post-1523784 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 21:42:09 +0000 Aida 1523784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the comments ladies! Fun to hear that these items resonate for my style with you all. Once I get all my boxes and decide what, if anything, else I'm keeping I'll take a few photos with the items on. So far I only know I'll also be keeping the Zella capris ^^</p> <p><b>JJ</b>, yep definitely planning to wear the fair isle with the white pants!</p> <p><b>Laura </b>and <b>Jenny</b>, how fun that you both also bought the boucle jacket! I have the lighter colorway coming in the mail, but am currently leaning towards keeping the darker version.</p> <p><b>Una</b>, I am trying my best to be pickier! It's especially tough at the moment since I have a LOT of holes as I'm rebuilding my wardrobe for a smaller size. I don't know that it's me being patient, but more that having a limited budget is forcing me to <i>really</i> consider everything that I take home.</p> <p><b>Joy</b>, the tights are pretty fun right? I have been slowly collecting textured nude hose over the last few years and have a nice little stash now ^^</p> <p><b>Janet</b>, I would say that the fair isle sweater runs small, definitely a shrunken style. I am usually an XS (or sized out), and I went with a S for a fitted look (the XS was very snug). I could easily have gone up to a M for more ease, but I really liked the fit especially with the white high-waisted pants. So I'd say one size up for a fitted fit and two for more ease. The knit is thick so it wouldn't "drape" exactly, but with the big welted hem if it's not pulled down all the way you get a fun little blousson effect.</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, it was grueling! I was a bit surprised that I ended up with three different sizes across the bras, and that the Simon Perle were the smallest sizes of the bunch. The bottom bands on all of them feel good, the tops all feel a little snug -- my ribcage certainly follows my IT shape! I'm hoping that they ease up a little along the tops as the SA said they will. Re the boots, I'm surprised to hear that the Glastonburys are daintier looking than the Bramhalls! The soles look so much thicker which makes things feel heavy to me. I will continue to think on those!</p> <p><b>Kari</b>, the button on the boucle jacket wasn't in a good spot for you? I tried mine buttoned up but didn't like how it looked; I plan to exclusively wear mine open.</p> <p><b>Svetlana</b>, the white pants are probably not quite what you are looking for as they are a bit sheer -- sheer enough that the side seams almost look like a shadow tuxedo stripe, though they look fine with nude undies. I don't mind a little sheerness, but I know I'm in the minority on that. They're also rather lightweight, more of a spring/fall pant; I'm hoping to wear them in winter on milder days with nude hose. The calves are quite slim, and they are full length on me (so probably ankle-bordering-cropped length on you). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-items-pt1#post-1523249 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 03:04:46 +0000 Debbie 1523249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the items you bought. Can't wait to see you in them, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-items-pt1#post-1523243 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 02:53:21 +0000 Sveta 1523243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>4 hour bra fitting - wow! I envy you stamina - I would be completely spent after 1 hour of fitting! But you did well - 5 well fitting bras is as close to nirvana as it gets.<br />Love the white pants. Cropped perfectly fitted &nbsp;and not see-through white pants are on my shopping list too. How is the fit in the calves - this is my usual problem spot in slim pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-items-pt1#post-1523131 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 21:12:48 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1523131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa and Lyn, you might be closer in shape to Aida, but I did post a quick pic of the boucle jacket on me on one of my posts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-items-pt1#post-1523075 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 19:56:34 +0000 lyn67 1523075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I just want that bouclé jacket, too:-((. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-items-pt1#post-1523049 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 19:12:49 +0000 Lisa 1523049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been eying that boucle jacket.&nbsp; I'm curious how it fits.&nbsp; And kudos to you sticking to your list.&nbsp; It is so easy to get sidetracked at NAS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-items-pt1#post-1522560 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 17:39:03 +0000 Staysfit 1522560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The bra fitting sounds well worth the time spent. It's rare to find that many bras that work in one shopping trip. Your NAS picks look great and I look forward to seeing how you style them. Maybe you won't regret the extra items you ordered. Some of my best purchases have been my most spontaneous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-items-pt1#post-1522547 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 17:09:24 +0000 Thistle 1522547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous choices, and I applaud you for sticking to your list and budget! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-items-pt1#post-1522541 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 16:52:32 +0000 Kari 1522541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fair isle sweater and that boucle jacket are beautiful. I tried the jacket but the buttons have to be very specifically placed relative to your waist to get the right fit. </p> <p>Look forward to seeing you rock those white pants. And yay for perfectly fitting bras! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-items-pt1#post-1522531 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 16:41:33 +0000 Angie 1522531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AND, I wrote this on the blog post in response to you:</p> <p><i>"My dear, Aida. My refined footwear twin. The Timberland Glastonburys are much daintier than the Bramhalls. Get those instead."</i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-items-pt1#post-1522416 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 13:57:54 +0000 Angie 1522416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY. You found bras. WOOOHOOOO. It's done, Aida. Breathe a <b>huge </b>sigh of relief. I ONLY wear Simone Perele bras because their 30D is cut very small. I need a 28D in other bras - which they don't make. I LOVE my bras because they're really pretty. I refuse to wear undies that don't match and aren't pretty (it's a quirk). Really hope you're on a GOOD bra wicket now. It's very much worth the expense.&nbsp;</p> <p>And snap. We are fair-isle twins - at least, for now. *smiling*. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your stuff, which I know is going to look super cute on ultra fab you.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-items-pt1#post-1522401 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 13:34:43 +0000 jackiec 1522401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done, Aida! Love what you've purchased. Look forward to seeing what else you get ;)..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-items-pt1#post-1522397 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 13:31:58 +0000 Janet 1522397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I can piggyback on the topic of the fair isle sweater...how did you find the sizing? It looks like a slightly shrunken style, and it appears I would take a medium, but I wonder if it's something that would be better sized up for a little ease. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-items-pt1#post-1522394 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 13:29:04 +0000 Janet 1522394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice picks, and good job on staying on task! Bra shopping is exhausting -- I'm glad my size has stayed pretty consistent for the last few years, so I just keep buying the same (not terribly exciting) bra over and over. </p> <p>I can see your style easily incorporating all those items. That fair isle sweater intrigued me, but I didn't see it in store, and I was a little put off by such a price for a blend that is relatively low on cashmere -- but the fact that you and Angie are fans makes me think it might be worthwhile. Hmmm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-items-pt1#post-1522391 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 13:24:16 +0000 shedev 1522391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, great choices. Way to stick to your needs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-items-pt1#post-1522380 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 13:04:04 +0000 Anonymous 1522380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your styling always has an element of fun. I'm looking forward to seeing these in outfits.<br /> The stockings are an interesting variation of nude micro-fishnets. Your new bras must be beautiful in those brands. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-items-pt1#post-1522366 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 12:15:59 +0000 dakotacheryl 1522366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful picks, and fantastic on the proper bra fitting, even though it was a lot of work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-items-pt1#post-1522363 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 12:04:44 +0000 viva 1522363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love everything you got! And your description of your visit makes me wish I had done something like this. Maybe next year I will get the card, plan, book an SA appointment ..... you make it seem like it is really worth the effort. Beautiful choices, Aida. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-items-pt1#post-1522350 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 11:33:24 +0000 Anonymous 1522350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on your purchases and sticking to you list. &nbsp;Wow. &nbsp;</p> <p>I am thrilled that you found bras/panties that work for you. &nbsp;It takes time and patience, doesn't it? &nbsp;The correct fit makes all the difference in the line of the clothing and comfort. &nbsp;Perhaps one of the most important layers. &nbsp;</p> <p>I love those pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-items-pt1#post-1522330 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 10:41:29 +0000 Jenny H 1522330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice pics!</p> <p>I also got the jacket but I got the lighter color because I liked the lower contrast sleeves.
