My favourite item from this batch </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases/page/2#post-387763 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 16:16:55 +0000 Lisa 387763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't mind the cobalt blouse belted. Is this the same blouse on your blog tucked into the black maxi skirt? Are you duplicating by keeping this one?</p> <p>I am staying firm with my votes. I still like the teal blouse with the longer back. Especially with skinnies. </p> <p>I also still like the Trouve blazer in the current camel color. I always think camel and black look very "rich" together. Maybe you need to repost with a different top? I think it's length is great for long tops and skinnies, or with a skirt or over a dress. How about your jcrew black dress for instance? I am not seeing the fit problem others are noticing. But again I am biased and have this blazer myself in the gray plaid.</p> <p>I am still voting nay to the white blazer. It looks a tad snug around the arms, the length is a tad too short and hits your hand a little higher up with your arms down. And the back looks like it pulls just a smidge. And I'm not a fan of the sheer factor in the back. Or the boxy, straight hem in the front and where it lands on your legs.</p> <p>Ok those were my best attempts. :)</p> <p>In the end, you have to love the items you keep and if you are not loving them, then back they go, NAS savings or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases/page/2#post-387737 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 15:26:49 +0000 Queen Mum 387737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>billowy blouse belted is fab!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases/page/2#post-387735 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 15:09:22 +0000 Laura 387735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmmm. Very interesting point from Angie about the shade of taupe. More lilac than mushroom ... makes sense! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases/page/2#post-387730 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 15:06:30 +0000 Laura 387730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I haven't read anything here but looked at the photos, so this may or may not help you!</p> <p>I like the sleeveless blouse. Think it is super useful for your climate.</p> <p>The long vest is ideal. So pretty on you, and different from anything I've seen you wear. Huge keep!</p> <p>The sleeves on the white jacket are just a tad too short.</p> <p>Killer watch!</p> <p>Do not like the Trouve jacket. Too big on you around the chest which makes it look boxy. </p> <p>Like the taupe blouse on you and think it will work with lots of your neutral looks.</p> <p>Okay, now to go back and read what everyone else said .... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases/page/2#post-387719 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 14:44:44 +0000 MNsara 387719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel for you - there was quite the split over the two blouses. </p> <p>FWIW - I adored the Bellatrix blouse when I first saw it on Patience(?), but IRL on me, there was something off also around the neck/shoulders. The idea is perfect for TX, so what if you tried it in different colors -- it might make just enough difference. . .</p> <p>The Pleonie top really hits you at a better place and the curved hemline is flattering. It will probably be more versatile - wearing it belted and unbelted.</p> <p>Trouve jacket: would you consider any alteration to take in the roominess? Maybe it's easy enough to do? The color is a fun departure for you.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases/page/2#post-387707 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 14:27:30 +0000 Sarah 387707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So wow, this is a lot to muddle through.<br /> I've never been so conflicted on purchases before. Eesh.<br /> First off, here are photos of the cobalt/purple billowy blouse belted. It's okay. I don't dislike it. I think I like it better either tucked or loose because it's a little more exciting than safely tucked and safely shaped. But I don't *dislike* it like this.<br /> And now on to the other items.<br /> The sunnies, watch, and black vest are staying. Tags off, worn, and done. :)<br /> I'm still uncertain of the rest, and here's why.<br /> Teal top - I like the shape and the idea. I think it is great for our climate. But something on the fit is bugging me. Length in front? Shoulders? I don't know.<br /> White jacket. I adore this. I'll probably die a little inside if I return it. Too dramatic? Okay, I'll just be really sad. I do see what you mean, Angie (and others). Boo.<br /> I am open to trying another taupe blouse, but I want to try this one layered first.<br /> Lastly, the Trouve jacket. I actually do like the color (I'm not wearing make up at all, and that could be part of the problem [or not]) I'm just a little unsure of the fit. I do realize it is intentionally boxy.<br /> I wouldn't want to try the gray one only because I have a lot of gray and black jackets.<br /> Any more words of wisdom? Advice? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases/page/2#post-387705 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 14:18:24 +0000 Sarah 387705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here you go, Anya! :)<br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/franco-sarto-luxe-dune-patent" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/franco-s.....une-patent</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases/page/2#post-387596 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 07:19:22 +0000 Anonymous 387596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like a lot the style of these outfits, but i'm jonesing for your nude pumps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases#post-387573 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 05:21:47 +0000 Kyle 387573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish I could swap the colors of the first two blouses for the more trim silhouette of the third. Very flattering cut. My comments reflect that you have set the bar so high. The first blouse, while I like it, I don't love it. Same for the second. For the first it is a perceived quality issue and for the second, it just does not scream Sarah to me, as so many of your outfits do. I am in love with that vest on you. I also really like the white jacket. Feels very you. I'm also not 100% sold on the Trouvé, though I like the tailored look and black accents. The equestrian vibe is great for you. I hope you enjoy your new treasures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases#post-387504 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 02:47:34 +0000 Angie 387504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great haul, Sarah!</p> <p>#1 - keep. Excellent for your climate.</p> <p>#4 - keep. You LOVED this watch. KILLER.</p> <p>#5 - keep. My best! KILLER.</p> <p>#9 - return. Colour is too mushroom. You need a taupe with a lilac tint. </p> <p>#10 - keep. Perfect for your climate! Edgy yet classic. My second best! KILLER.</p> <p>#13 - I am going to vote return because it looks a little snug on the sleeves and at the back. Do you have the same impression, Sarah? </p> <p>#18 - Return. The colour is too sallow. </p> <p>Must keep the sunnies </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases#post-387408 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 23:50:35 +0000 san 387408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, nice things!!! I LOVE the white dinner jacket. I love everything except the Trouve jacket. While looking at the pictures I thought the fit was off. To me it doesn't compare to the other things you got. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases#post-387371 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 22:58:53 +0000 Queen Mum 387371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn't have even given that black vest a second look based on the website picture... but you make it look incredible. A good reminder that we can't always judge an item by the picture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases#post-387358 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 22:46:25 +0000 lynn 387358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the sleeveless royal blue and the black vest, I like the other royal blue top and the taupe top. I'm unsure about the white jacket and I don't like the shrunken jacket. I like your blog too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases#post-387328 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 22:03:47 +0000 amyreh 387328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, so I love the blue shirt in #1, and while a bit billowy, I can see you making this work. I would like to see 5-7 belted, I feel like this is a bit too much surrendering of the waistline. I think 8-9 will work for you, would love to see tucked into a pencil skirt with your bright lips as you mention. I am madly, madly in love and incredibly jealous of the vest and white blazer - I love the back of them both, so unique and cool! I can see your issue with the last blazer, if you don't love the fit you won't wear it so perhaps take it back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases#post-387273 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 21:08:28 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 387273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fabulous as always!</p> <p>My thoughts, for what they're worth (not much!):</p> <p>I love the first two tunics. For myself I would only keep one (but you've said there are no budget constraints). Great watch too.<br /> Love the Trouve top. Fabulous. Ticks all the boxes.<br /> Gorgeous vest and very you.<br /> I'm not excited by the jackets but that's because they're not looks I'm used to. No doubt I'll be raving about them if you keep them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases#post-387222 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 19:49:29 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 387222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't read everyone else's responses, so I may be repeating, but the only things I really like are the first blouse, the watch, and the white jacket (although it does seem a little snug in the hip when buttoned). You look good in pretty much anything, so the rest seem fine but not anything to get excited about. Just IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases#post-387181 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 18:36:30 +0000 Debbie 387181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought two of these pieces. The blouse in 1 and Trouve jacket.<br /> So my opinion may be bias. The top is devine on you. For our weather I think it is a no brainer. We can wear them into the fall with a light jacket over them.<br /> The black vest is a definite keeper in my book.<br /> Thw white jacket is very cute.<br /> The taupe bouse is a great layering piece. The Plieone blouse looks very chic.<br /> I personally liked the Trouve jacket in the black but if you can size down this may be a great choice for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases#post-387179 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 18:35:46 +0000 Anonymous 387179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The white dinner jacket is my favorite x a million. I also love the sunglasses, the watch, and the vest. I'm honestly meh on the other stuff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases#post-387152 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 17:52:33 +0000 Sarah 387152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PS: Here's a better photo of the vest, love the back!<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/leith-chiffon-back-sleeveless-blazer/3136249?origin=keywordsearch&#038;resultback=891" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/le.....ltback=891</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases#post-387148 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 17:46:23 +0000 greenglove 387148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the drape and color on 5. Love #8. The watch is fab. The first shirt is a bit of an odd length in front, I ordered that and returned it because I thought it needed to be either shorter or longer in the front. I also did not love the material.</p> <p>The Trouve shrinken blazer- I think it might be too big or maybe looks better buttoned.<br /> Have you tried it in the grey plaid? might be a better color for you.<br /> I ordered it in the camel, waiting and will post.</p> <p>Love the glasses and the vest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases#post-387129 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 17:28:54 +0000 Scarlet 387129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would be disappointed if you didn't keep the sunnies, the watch, the grey blouse (8/9), the white jacket. Above all, KEEP THE WHITE JACKET!!!!! The fit is perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases#post-387109 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 17:08:33 +0000 rae 387109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE most of it - the white blazer and black vest are amaaaazing, as is the watch. Your taupe shirt fits very nicely, too. :)</p> <p>One to the brutality: both of the bright tops seem to make you look much bigger than you really are. The teal one hits with a harsh horizontal line across your hips and seems to "tent" out instead of skimming your body. Same with the purple, except the billowy sleeves widen the look further and make you seem top heavy in the bust/shoulders/upper arms. </p> <p>Sorry! ... did I mention how much I love the rest?? The shurnken blazer looks like it might just be too big? I do like the color on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases#post-387107 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 17:05:44 +0000 Lisa 387107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Photo 1-4: Love all these items. For the top, I especially like the shorter front, longer back with skinnies. And how neat is that black watch! I vote keep to all 3 here.<br /> Photo 5-7: Plieone silk top.I prefer the first top. This one is a great color, but the drape, I think it would work well with shorts or skirts, or fuller volume trousers. I am not a fan of this top with the skinnies, it looks too short. I vote return.<br /> Photo 8-9: Trouve top -Not bland at all, I can see this working well with your wardrobe. I vote keep.<br /> Photo 10-12: Leith vest-Great find Patience! Looks super on you. I vote keep, except, is this too similar to your AT black one? (On your blog you wore it once with an animal printed blouse?)<br /> Photo 13-17: White jacket-I am not a fan of this one, the fit is only ok to my eye. And the sheer back is throwing me off. Especially in photo #16, you can see this jacket is boxy on you. I prefer if it had a slight nip in the waist area to show your curve more. I vote return.<br /> Photo 18-22: Trouve shrunken jacket-I am biased because I have this myself in the gray plaid. I like this. I think the color works on you, does not wash you out at all. I do think the white shirt is throwing off the look. The shoulders are padded aren't they? It gives a strong shoulder line, which I don't mind. I vote keep, it's a very edgy jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases#post-387102 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 16:57:24 +0000 Sveta 387102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bellatrix teal blouse is a great color on youbut smething seems off. Maybe it is that much difference in length between the front and the back...<br /> I like Plieone silk top but I would prefer it to be a bit longer to counter all that volume. However this a new style for me so what would I know!:-)<br /> Trouve top is a nice shape on you but I don't like the color much; however if you want this particular color as a layering piece for your other outfits it should be fine.<br /> Leith vest is great on you, definite keep!<br /> White "dinner" jacket is great unbuttoned but looks a bit tight buttoned up. If you plan to wear it unbuttoned only it should work.<br /> Trouve shrunken jacket: I wanted to love this one as I ordered it as well but something is off. I am not sure if this is a fit or a color. For the fit you can try to size down. I don't think this is your best color though - have you tried a grey plaid one? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases#post-387099 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 16:43:20 +0000 Anonymous 387099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Queen Mum expressed my thoughts. However, with your hot climate, you will probably want to wear unbelted tops for coolness.<br /> I wasn't sure about the color of the taupe blouse in picture #8, but it looks better in #9. You can add color with makeup. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases#post-387095 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 16:40:18 +0000 Jjsloane 387095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1-3 is pretty color and is versatile. Watch is fabulous. Not a fan of 5-7 for the shape, maybe belted it would work better as you stated. Love the fit of 8/9 but not the color for you so much. I like the fit of the white jacket, but do not care for the see through parts. I don't think the camel jacket is your best fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases#post-387094 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 16:38:55 +0000 catgirl 387094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, you are just beautfiul! Now onto the clothes.... </p> <p>I tried on 1-3 and found the fit awkward. I didn't like the combo of sleeveless billowing button-down. The color is fab, but in terms of fit I much prefer 5 - 7, which is also a fab color. The Trouve top seems fine - nothing wrong but not a standout to my (admittedly biased against taupe) eye. </p> <p>LOVE the vest (would look so cute with your tie!) and the white dinner jacket. Not thrilled about the color of the shrunken blazer or the fit where you pointed it out. I think if it's this cropped and boxy it needs to be a little more fitted. But it's more the color which seems difficult for anyone to wear.</p> <p>Not a watch person, but this one seems good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases#post-387062 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 15:58:12 +0000 bran888 387062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the white jacket and the vest. Although I'm not a huge fan of surrendering the waist if you have a defined one, I do like the blouse in 5-7, the color is pretty and the fit isn't bad (maybe even better with a skinny belt?)...I don't think I like the first blouse in 1-3, it seems overly boxy on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases#post-387057 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 15:54:26 +0000 Janet 387057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Modgirl pretty much summed up my reactions. Can we see 5-7 belted? I love the color, and I want to like it, but I really feel like the shape is hiding your actual terrific figure. </p>
