IKWYM about the relaxed fit of the blouse but it looks great and that kind of fabric collapses and look so different in motion vs. static pose. I hope you keep it because it is so pretty on you. The tan boots looks great but maybe a little bland--I'm glad you are trying the burgundy! Also happy to hear they are comfortable. Those are probably the only thing that are tempted me right now but I'm trying to remind myself that I really only wear sneakers these days... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order---staying-practical/page/2#post-2271997 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 16:36:21 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2271997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I like your picks. I'm into the burgundies and eggplant shades now, too. Glad to hear you are ordering the purple booties, as I agree that is a hard-to-find color, and if it's right for you, I think you'll enjoy them. The floral top does look a little boxy, but I like that fit personally, and I think it hits you at a good spot on the hip. <br /></div><div>I got the Zella tee, and I agree about the color options. I got the "gray" and it is kind of a bone that leans yellow. Maybe not quite what I'm after. I need to return it anyway, because I would need the next size down.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order---staying-practical/page/2#post-2271996 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 16:36:07 +0000 delurked 2271996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still have items that are pending shipment, so the jeans-off will be on hold for a bit. I agree with everyone that in these pictures the lighter ones look good.</p> <p>And yes, I'm now very excited for the boots. I have had a similar color in boots in the past and really liked them. I hesitated getting them because I don't have all that much in that color in my wardrobe right now. But I can already picture ways they will work.</p> <p>Joyce - I hope the print top works for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order---staying-practical/page/2#post-2271984 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 15:45:15 +0000 Joyce B 2271984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The burgundy booties will be fab and versatile. Great that the small print top worked out so nicely. All items look good but I agree that jeans should be comfortable. My print top is still in transit, btw </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order---staying-practical/page/2#post-2271959 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 13:58:49 +0000 Angie 2271959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! You ordered the burgundy boots :)</p> <p>And GOOD idea to order in more jeans options. MUST be comfy. Excited to see them. Bring on the jeans-off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order---staying-practical/page/2#post-2271855 Thu, 14 Jul 2022 23:34:39 +0000 kkards 2271855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I love the boots….but if your feeling purple I wonder if you should go with it… </p> <p>Re the jeans…I really like the lighter pair, but I’m wondering if part of that is it’s summer and so Feeling lighter colors more…again, I’m thinking either would be ok.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order---staying-practical/page/2#post-2271840 Thu, 14 Jul 2022 22:33:07 +0000 Irina 2271840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, jean off sound like a wise decision. I do like the lighter pair more but only on the account of color, both look fab on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order---staying-practical#post-2271837 Thu, 14 Jul 2022 22:21:27 +0000 Debbie 2271837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are really tempting me with those burgundy boots. They look so versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order---staying-practical#post-2271834 Thu, 14 Jul 2022 22:11:09 +0000 merwoman 2271834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the floral top and my preference are the jeans in the first pick….contrast is greater between the light wash jeans and the top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order---staying-practical#post-2271831 Thu, 14 Jul 2022 22:04:09 +0000 delurked 2271831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I've ordered the burgundy booties. I feel confident that color boot will work with my wardrobe fine.&nbsp;</p> <p>The lighter jeans are not as comfortable, but I like the look of them better too. I decided to order the other ones Angie suggests, plus I'd already ordered one other style. Angie used strong wording about the lightness on the thigh of the first find, so a little nervous. Then I guess I can do a jean off and see what fits best, and also, if any are more comfortable than the others. The 2nd find may be lower on the rise than I want. I'd like a high rise pair, but the difference of mid or high rise can be a pretty slim difference. The 3rd find are the ones I have in the 1st picture. It's not that they are uncomfortable. But they are not super soft either. I will let both looks and comfort guide me to the right decision on them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order---staying-practical#post-2271829 Thu, 14 Jul 2022 21:59:20 +0000 Anonymous 2271829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty floral top! Cute jeans and boots </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order---staying-practical#post-2271823 Thu, 14 Jul 2022 21:35:29 +0000 Kathie 2271823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The floral top is gorgeous on you! I'm another vote for the lighter jeans. To my eye, the fit is better, but only you can assess comfort. For the boots, get the color that makes you happy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order---staying-practical#post-2271820 Thu, 14 Jul 2022 21:29:13 +0000 Angie 2271820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Order them! I have no doubt they will work well for you and your wardrobe. Burgundy boots are surprisingly versatile </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order---staying-practical#post-2271817 Thu, 14 Jul 2022 21:24:05 +0000 delurked 2271817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - I haven't ordered the burgundy boots yet. I didn't want to get both until I knew if they would work. I will order and give them a try. I am positive I can make that color work though.</p> <p>I also like the way the lighter wash jeans look.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order---staying-practical#post-2271816 Thu, 14 Jul 2022 21:18:48 +0000 Angie 2271816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(Sorry for typos, <b>delurked</b>. I am BAD at typing on my phone, and autocorrect is unkind).&nbsp;</p> <p>WOW! From what I can see - both tops and boots are KILLER! I prefer the lighter wash jeans, actually! Fab with the light boots :)</p> <p>Can we see the burgundy boots on in an outfit?&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order---staying-practical#post-2271812 Thu, 14 Jul 2022 21:14:32 +0000 delurked 2271812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet - yes, the Zella top comes in a bit narrower around the waist/hip. I took the smaller size in these too.</p> <p>Thanks Irina.&nbsp;</p> <p>Gryffin - I'm not sure I can justify both, but I am considering ordering the purple to compare at home with my own wardrobe. I'm kind of leaning purple just because it's a harder color to find, and it's obvious I want to wear purple right now.</p> <p>You and Vintage Dawn both seem to prefer the first jeans outfit. That's the Wit &amp; Wisdom pair. I like the look of that outfit better too. They are fairly comfortable, but not as comfortable as the darker pair Hudson's. I need to see if they will be comfortable enough. I really would rather the second pair of jeans works because they feel better. But if the consensus is that the Hudson's are only so-so, I will assess what I end up with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order---staying-practical#post-2271799 Thu, 14 Jul 2022 20:35:18 +0000 VintageDawn 2271799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loved your first outfit!&nbsp; I bought a pair of purple boots a few years ago and have never regretted them, they make me so happy whenever I wear them. The ones you are looking at look like an even more versatile color.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order---staying-practical#post-2271795 Thu, 14 Jul 2022 20:27:32 +0000 gryffin 2271795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Delurked - love the whole first outfit!! Looks fantastic on you. I love gentle souls. Very comfy. Can you justify 2 pr booties? The color is so different. Completely different vibe. Just a thought. Definitely say no to uncomfy jeans. Torture at its finest. Yes someone always finding buried treasure. Slippery slope for sure. But great pieces and the booties are really fab both colors!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order---staying-practical#post-2271792 Thu, 14 Jul 2022 20:15:35 +0000 Irina 2271792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely tops, really like colors and they look great on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order---staying-practical#post-2271790 Thu, 14 Jul 2022 20:01:10 +0000 Janet 2271790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I quite like the print top on you, the jeans looks good too, from what I can see. The boots are terrific. </p> <p>I ordered the purple Zella top but it was pretty large through the body in a M so I’m going to try the S too. It will fit closely on my hip, totally unlike the model photo, but I’ll try it. It’s an appealing cut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order---staying-practical#post-2271786 Thu, 14 Jul 2022 19:53:42 +0000 delurked 2271786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some updates, added up top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order---staying-practical#post-2271135 Mon, 11 Jul 2022 16:35:10 +0000 delurked 2271135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie.</p> <p>Suz - I would love any short sleeve tops that come my way. They are my number one need because I wear them all year round. And because I wear them all year round, those tops wear out faster too.</p> <p>Joyce - fingers crossed they work out for at least one of us! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order---staying-practical#post-2271124 Mon, 11 Jul 2022 16:09:00 +0000 Joyce B 2271124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your comment about the slippery slope is very true, now I am copying the tops that you showed. I am also always looking for tops, good ones are not easy to find.<br /> I hope they work for you, and for me, too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order---staying-practical#post-2271123 Mon, 11 Jul 2022 16:01:59 +0000 Suz 2271123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those look like excellent selections, and I'm in favour of trying the blouse, too, for the reasons you give. I hope these work out!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order---staying-practical#post-2271105 Mon, 11 Jul 2022 14:20:46 +0000 Angie 2271105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good job! Your selection are fab for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order---staying-practical#post-2270800 Sat, 09 Jul 2022 15:54:58 +0000 delurked 2270800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is how the slippery slope starts. I just saw a top Laura ordered I hadn't seen before. Before I knew it I had ordered it to try. What sold me was seeing it in the video they have so I could see the movement of it. I am going to make an argument it's still practical though. An elevated short sleeve top is something I shop for and need all year round. I think the print is pretty, though I can see how others would find it too busy for them. I'm showing the other short sleeve version of the print too.</p> <p>Tanya - I find that height works great for winter for me too. But I would wear year round with skirt/dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order---staying-practical#post-2270787 Sat, 09 Jul 2022 15:28:45 +0000 Tanya 2270787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great, practical choices!&nbsp; &nbsp;I hope the booties work out and am with you on the shaft height.&nbsp; I have a similar pair in black with same/slightly higher shaft, and fins them incredibly useful, as they make wearing cropped pants in colder weather possible, since they 'close the gap' and no socks are visible.&nbsp; &nbsp;They also work well with skirts/dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order---staying-practical#post-2270775 Sat, 09 Jul 2022 14:48:31 +0000 delurked 2270775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kathie - I’ll report back on the flip flops. </p> <p>Janet - I had a lot of stuff on my wish list. I think it’s helpful to add it all on there. But winter is not a big season or shopping need for me. So then I pare it down. I hope your items work out for you. </p> <p>Kkards - I am looking for something with good arch support. But I do require a pretty soft footbed. If not these, I may just head to DSW to try on a few in person. I don’t tend to wear flip flops all day the way some people can. It’s too much work for me to grip to keep something on my foot. </p> <p>I also like that shaft height. I have some black sock booties that I am finding too short to wear. I thought about getting these in black, but I also wear a lot of skirts and dresses, and I think something closer to the color of my skin could be a nice change from all the black shoes I already own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order---staying-practical#post-2270751 Sat, 09 Jul 2022 13:18:20 +0000 kkards 2270751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I own the Olukai flip flops, and some days i love them and some days i tolerate them…the footbed has a great arch support, especially for a flip flop, but some days i find the material in the sole not especially comfortable. I tend to wear them around the house and to the beach. They hose down/clean up really well<br />The jeans look great, and i love that purple color.&nbsp;<br />I’ve never tried that brand of boots, but the color looks very versatile and they’re my favorite shaft height, so great with cropped and full length jeans </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order---staying-practical#post-2270734 Sat, 09 Jul 2022 12:44:25 +0000 Janet 2270734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was up late enough last night to place an order too, and mine was also pretty modest. These are great choices and I hope they work out for you! Olukai flip flops seem well made but don’t work for my feet somehow, I hope they work for you! </p>
