Looking through your photos it is hard to tell what was already part of your wardrobe and what's new simply because the pieces you added are so cohesive while adding some great statement items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-3/page/2#post-1696312 Sun, 17 Jul 2016 15:49:14 +0000 Colette 1696312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your choices look great on you! I tried that Free People sweater, it's so great in person. It didn't work for me because it was way too cropped on my body. When I sized up it was just too big all over. I also tried the ruched dress as a possibility for a dress over crops look, but it won't work for that purpose on me. It's a great dress for anyone considering it. I think the size you picked is the right size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-3/page/2#post-1696263 Sun, 17 Jul 2016 14:36:26 +0000 Muffin 1696263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much for taking pictures with your descriptions- it is so helpful! Many of these items I would have completely passed over based on the stock pictures (FP anything!). The dress is a dream on you!!! Also thanks for commenting on my picks- you have a great eye and I appreciate your input! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-3/page/2#post-1696146 Sun, 17 Jul 2016 08:58:39 +0000 Jaime 1696146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent picks! The crossover sweater and the green dress are especially fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-3/page/2#post-1696110 Sun, 17 Jul 2016 03:59:29 +0000 Anonymous 1696110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great picks! The teal dress looks so amazing on you! Also love the crossover sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-3/page/2#post-1696107 Sun, 17 Jul 2016 03:49:34 +0000 Brooklyn 1696107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks FC. I think the dress could be a little short for me at the front. I look forward to seeing how you wear the sweater. I am excited too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-3/page/2#post-1696084 Sun, 17 Jul 2016 03:16:28 +0000 Amy 1696084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything looks great! I particularly like that crossover top on you.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-3/page/2#post-1696083 Sun, 17 Jul 2016 03:14:29 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1696083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, I think the tunic would look great on you, and also the dress. The cool thing about the dress is it could be the backdrop for some really neat hand-knit item. I think it would look great with a cape or poncho style topper. </p> <p>Fathenry, I commented on your post before I saw this comment. A size down is worth a try.</p> <p>Thanks, Vicki!</p> <p>Brooklyn, I'm so excited! I love that sweater on you and in that outfit. I think the color might actually be pretty similar; mine looks darker in person to me than it does on the website. As to the dress, I think the 39" is in the back. It does come up pretty short on me in the front, a few inches above the knee. I'm just a tad under 5'5". </p> <p>AM, if you need enabling, that crossover sweater comes in a lovely charcoal color, too. Well, they call it black, but it looked like a dark charcoal to me. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-3/page/2#post-1695995 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 23:39:27 +0000 AM 1695995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pieces. I love that cross over sweater. I'm very tempted to put it in my cart. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-3/page/2#post-1695985 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 23:23:19 +0000 Brooklyn 1695985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks FC. Sleeveless is fine for me, even in winter, so the dress really appeals. I am worried it could be a little short for me in front. The site says 39 inches long but I am not sure whether that's in front or back. Are you tallish? I hope you don't mind me asking.<br /> And we are sweater siblings now! I KNEW this day would come :)<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wrap-dress-as-skirt-otk-boots" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-otk-boots</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-3/page/2#post-1695984 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 23:20:39 +0000 Vicki 1695984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Firecracker for the win! I love that first top in 1-3 and the teal dress is gorgeous on you! Dresses love you and you wear them well. I like the long charcoal vest and you'll enjoy that in so many ways. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-3/page/2#post-1695967 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 22:49:18 +0000 fathenry 1695967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice pics! I also bought the mock neck dress in that color. I like the way it fits you. It sort of hangs on me. I think I am going to exchange for a smaller size. Thanks for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-3/page/2#post-1695886 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 19:37:24 +0000 Diana 1695886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, you made such great choices! They all look amazing. I particularly like the bodycon dress and the FP tunic. I didn't think much of the FP on the model but now that I see it on you I am definitely thinking its with a second look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-3/page/2#post-1695883 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 19:35:23 +0000 SecretSquirrel 1695883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh thank you Firecracker! I haven't come across Sewing Workshop before. And thanks for pattern tweaking tips, sounds like that would be what I would need to do, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-3/page/2#post-1695874 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 19:30:20 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1695874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks, SecretSquirrel--I'm flattered! Both pants are Sewing Workshop patterns. The brown ones are the <a href="http://www.sewingworkshop.com/shop#!/Hudson/p/38307626/category=9765086" rel="nofollow">Hudson pants</a>, and the dusty olive ones are <a href="http://www.sewingworkshop.com/shop#!/Trio/p/38307655/category=9765086" rel="nofollow">Trio pants</a>. In both cases, I altered the lower leg to make it narrower, more pegged. The Trio pants are lengthened from the pattern, too--my intent was full-length pants, and then they continued to shrink in the wash (after I pre-shrank the fabric), so they are somewhat cropped now. My Hudson pants are shortened from what the pattern shows. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-3/page/2#post-1695870 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 19:19:50 +0000 SecretSquirrel 1695870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely stellar picks! I am vicariously enjoying the NAS through you all, from the UK. </p> <p>You have such a good eye, Firecracker. I would wear all those outfits in a heartbeat. I knew when you described it that I would like the dark red crossover jumper, but I went back to check your trousers - gah, you made them! Did you design the pattern yourself, or is there a pattern you'd recommend? I have done pattern cutting courses but still find trousers hard. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-3/page/2#post-1695861 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 19:06:44 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1695861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, thanks, shedev and Cheryl. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-3/page/2#post-1695790 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 17:50:52 +0000 dakotacheryl 1695790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous choices...and IMHO that teal dress looks better on you than on the model !! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-3/page/2#post-1695777 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 17:23:41 +0000 shedev 1695777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are stellar picks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-3/page/2#post-1695773 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 17:14:12 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1695773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Smittie, and you're welcome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-3/page/2#post-1695749 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 15:18:00 +0000 Anonymous 1695749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the pants you made in #1 and #2.<br />Love the sleeveless dress on you, the long vest and fabulous burgundy oxfords!<br />Thanks for your synopsis of the grey Aquatalia boots on Suz's thread. It's helpful to know the type of grey they are. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-3/page/2#post-1695733 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 14:50:09 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1695733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenn, that's so nice of you! I was interested in a long vest, too, specifically for the plaid peasant top I showed above. I used to have a long burgundy vest that I wore with it, but the vest got rather worn and dated looking, so I passed it on. I tried on ribbed, buttoned vest, but liked this open-knit one so much better on me, both in style and color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-3/page/2#post-1695731 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 14:47:00 +0000 Peri 1695731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wow, that dress is stunning on you!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-3/page/2#post-1695730 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 14:46:38 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1695730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Runcarla, the sweater feels soft. Surprisingly so. I will caution that the knit is going to be one that pulls easily, though. There are a lot of fine yarns and long-ish stitches that can get caught on things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-3#post-1695729 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 14:44:31 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1695729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, right, Suz. My guess is that it's going to behave like the VC skirts. Later today I will try on the dress with some footless tights and no slip and see what happens. When I put the leggings on with it for my home try-ons, I had on the Commando slip, and usually I do that--I wear the slip even with leggings, to smooth things out. Not always with skirts, though--depends on the skirt and how it plays with the slip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-3#post-1695728 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 14:43:16 +0000 Carla 1695728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My faves are the two FP tops. The crossover sweater is a '10'! What is the hand of the fabric? Linen/cotton sounds wonderful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-3#post-1695726 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 14:37:24 +0000 Suz 1695726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>Sharan</b>. I am really tempted. I think the XS looks brilliant on you -- you don't need to go bigger.&nbsp;</p> <p>If I had the right cardigan for it, it would be find without sleeves. I sometimes wear pullovers on top of sleeveless dresses, too. But the question -- the<b> real </b>question for me -- is does it stick to tights? If a dress sticks to tights, I simply won't wear it. I dislike that feeling intensely. That's why I don't wear my VC skirts in cooler weather at all -- they are strictly warm weather items for me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-3#post-1695725 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 14:35:13 +0000 Jenn 1695725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your choices!</p> <p>I put a long sweater-vest on my wishlist, too, and I'm excited by how great the look is in your outfits. Also love your styling of the teal dress. You wear the leggings-under-dress look better than anyone I've seen!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-3#post-1695723 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 14:26:44 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1695723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all!<br /><b>Debbie</b>, I think you will like the crossover sweater, and I think the tunic would look fabulous on you!<br /><b>KL</b>, I've worn both S and XS in Free People items, and in both the crossover sweater and the tunic I got the XS. (My cropped moto jacket that I show here is an S.) It's worth a try. <br /><b>Joyce</b>, that's funny! I think we are foot twins, in addition to having similar taste!<br />Yes, <b>Thistle</b>, I'm working on no orphans! It's so easy to get caught up in the excitement of the sale. I'm actually reconsidering the duplicate long vest in olive. . . . <br /><b>Brooklyn</b> and <b>Suz</b>, I thought I had picked out a size S in the dress, but when I looked at it just now, I see it's a size XS! (I only took one to the dressing room, and it's the one that came home with me, so at least I know it's the one I tried on.) In the dressing room, I didn't like the way it clung to my body. The SA thought a size up would have too much extra fabric across the mid-section, so I stuck with it. At home I tried it on with my commando full slip, and I liked it much better. But now I'm wondering if I should go back and try the S. In the photos I think it looks tight across the back. <b>Suz</b>, I do think you might like the dress; it's like the VC tube skirts, but with ruching up one side only. However, lyou're right, sleeveless is of limited use, isn't it? You might get a size up so that you can wear a long-sleeved tee underneath. In fact, I might do that, too. And <b>Brooklyn</b>, I think the dress is right up your alley. It's definitely a dark, green shade of teal, and I've seen you wear similar styles so well, too. <br /><b>Amy in NC</b>, welcome to the conversation! Thanks for chiming in with your kind and encouraging remarks. <br /><b>Angie</b>, thanks for your encouragment, in the midst of your hectic schedule!</p> <p> </p>
