I'm always on the hunt for a new blazer or scarf. :)</p> <p>BethL-That's wonderful that the boots worked out for you! Now we are boot twins. I had bunion surgery on one foot last year and my feet will NOT tolerate uncomfortable footwear. I've been wearing my new boots under my jeans since it's hot out. I wanted to break them in and figured why wait when I sit in a/c all day and it's cold anyway indoors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases-1/page/2#post-683043 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 22:15:58 +0000 BethL 683043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and I had gotten the Caslon double-knit blazer just a day or so before you had in the pumpkin-y color. It's great. Yours looks fabulous on you. I'm still eyeing that red one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases-1/page/2#post-683042 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 22:13:48 +0000 BethL 683042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, thanks to you I ordered the Uggs, and they came via UPS just a little while ago...and I LOVE them. I've been half-heartedly looking for a pair of short black boots for a while; half-heartedly because I spent all last winter without any because I couldn't find any I liked. I looked at the Frye's, too (I have a pair of brown Frye Harnesses that are about ten years old that still look great, and I adore them), but none of the Frye's were doing it for me, plus they kill my bunion. Thanks for posting your pics! I can't wait to wear my new boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases-1/page/2#post-680132 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 06:30:53 +0000 AJ 680132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so good at picking boots and blazers! Luv that scarf too!</p> <p>Kudos on your NAS picks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases-1#post-680105 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 05:10:08 +0000 Lisa 680105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Makrame-Thanks! I'm surprised the Caslon blazer got low reviews. I really like it, a sweatshirt in a blazer mask.</p> <p>Joy-Thanks! This year was my most focused during my NAS shopping. </p> <p>Kellygirl-Thanks! I highly recommend the knit blazer. I took my usual size, which is a small for this piece. I do wear the sleeves up two cuffs because I like the fun blue print on them.</p> <p>Rae-Thanks! The burgundy jacket would be fab on you. And fit in with your tomboy style nicely. </p> <p>Charmian-Blazer twins would be fun! You'll have to report back when your blazer arrives!</p> <p>JR-Thanks! I'll try the cowl with a draped cardigan, brilliant idea! I had one or two in the donation bag I may have to fish out and experiment with before deciding on the sweater.</p> <p>Laura-Thanks! I wore the blazer to work today in the a/c and it was super comfy.</p> <p>CocoLion-Thanks! I had no luck at NAS last year for blazers, all the bracelet lengths just would not work on me last year. This year I've made up for it with two new one's.</p> <p>Zapotee-Thanks! I think the sweater may be a stand alone piece. Which might not be a bad thing, sometimes I think I layer too much. I always have so much laundry from all my layering. :)</p> <p>Mamapicklejuice-Thanks! I'm surprised I actually purchased a pair of Uggs. They really are changing up their styles which is nice.</p> <p>KathyL-Thanks! You'll have to report back on how the Vince Camuto blazer fits.</p> <p>Sveta-Thanks! It is hard to let pieces go that "almost" work. It's a lot of work to build up a cohesive wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases-1#post-679888 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 23:07:09 +0000 Sveta 679888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All your choices look good, Lisa. The blue cowl-neck looks great with your colorings but I get the difficulty in layering it with blazers. I think you know your wardrobe and what works and does not work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases-1#post-679884 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 22:52:59 +0000 KathyL 679884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Who knew Uggs could look so good? Love the blazers on you. I tried on the Calson and it was so ill-fitting on me that I had to return. Glad it worked out for you. I ordered the VC blazer after seeing Meredith's outfit too. Keeping my fingers crossed that it fits as well for me as it does for you and Meredith! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases-1#post-679813 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 21:13:36 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 679813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all your picks! The blazers are just fantastic on you, both fit and color. I...LIKE...Uggs??? Never thought I'd say that, but those boots are fab and tough and all kinds of awesome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases-1#post-679809 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 21:05:23 +0000 Anonymous 679809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am loving the blazers and the boots. I think #5 is great, just not with a blazer. I have sweaters like that. They are great with skinnies and flat boots for a quick "out the door" formula. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases-1#post-679803 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 21:02:12 +0000 CocoLion 679803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Caslon jacket looks so good on you ... completely did not work on me. I like all of your picks except I agree with the cowl neck, something about the long, long cowl looks off to my eye. (Although Angie disagrees.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases-1#post-679796 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 20:57:02 +0000 Laura 679796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is the burgundy jacket. Such a pretty shape on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases-1#post-679735 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 19:54:18 +0000 JR 679735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all look lovely. Cowls work well with draped cardigans, I find. Do you have any that might want to play with yours before you return it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases-1#post-679683 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 19:10:03 +0000 Charmian 679683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heehee, I think we have the same BR cowlneck. If I keeping the as-yet-undelivered Caslon blazer, we're going to be twins!</p> <p>*crosses fingers the blazer will look as good on me as it does on you* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases-1#post-679636 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 18:00:54 +0000 rae 679636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything looks very fab! You make me want to take another look at the burgundy jacket - didn't see that color when I went. High five! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases-1#post-679625 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 17:55:25 +0000 kellygirl 679625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE everything. The Uggs are fab. The blazers are awesome x 2! In fact, you are inspiring me to try the knit blazer. Will report back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases-1#post-679615 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 17:48:26 +0000 Anonymous 679615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You got some lovely pieces at NAS. I like your shopping plan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases-1#post-679596 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 17:39:30 +0000 Makrame 679596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the blazers! The reviews of the Caslon blazer were quite negative, which I don't understand after seeing the blazer on you - it looks great! I am with Angie on liking the cowlneck sweater on you but I know what you mean - I decided to stay away from clothing that is too hot or to cold for my normal work environment, otherwise I end up with orphans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases-1#post-679588 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 17:34:45 +0000 Lisa 679588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alicat-Thanks! As a member of team blue, I could not pass up a blue blazer at NAS. :)</p> <p>April-Thanks! I was very excited to find two blazers at NAS this year. Last year the blazers were a bust for me, so now I've made up for it. :)</p> <p>Kirti-Thanks! The Caslon blazer is really soft. I'm wearing it in the a/c at work today.</p> <p>MNsara-Thanks! My approach to this NAS was different from the past two years. I really tried to stick to what will work with my style and wardrobe, instead of purchasing everything that caught my eye "because it's on sale." I should have less returning this year. :)</p> <p>Merwoman-Thanks! The Caslon blazer is quite soft, but still has that structure I adore in the style of a blazer. I would recommend it.</p> <p>Clearlyclaire-Thanks! I'm sad I cannot layer the cowlneck as I planned, it is really, really soft.</p> <p>Jjsloane-Thanks! I agree, the cowlneck is a stand alone piece. I'm debating if I want a stand alone item in my closet.</p> <p>Charmian-Thanks! I am also surprised I got a pair of Uggs. I never would have guessed from looking at them. And they have the Ugg insole so they are nice and soft inside. The top I'm wearing with the red knit blazer is white w/grey dots from BR in the fall last year.</p> <p>Cjh-Thanks! The cowlneck is very soft, but has a lot of drape to the cowlneck portion. I own a couple of cowlnecks and those have chunkier cowl portions that lay nicer.</p> <p>Angie-Thanks! A friend of mine sent me a text with the Ugg boots on her foot, and I ran to NAS the first day it opened to pick up a pair for myself. They are super comfy and I adore the details on the sides. The cowlneck I'm stumped on, it is super soft, but I rarely wear a stand along sweater because I always run cold. </p> <p>Christieanne-Thanks! The boots are my favorite item from NAS. And they have the soft Ugg insole.</p> <p>Heather-*waving hi* Thanks! I adore the Ugg boots, and they are really comfy. My favorite NAS item this year.</p> <p>Janet-Thanks! We might be scarf and sweater sisters, neat! I almost ordered the teal, but since I already purchased the teal blazer, I wanted to switch up the colors.</p> <p>Rachylou-Thanks!</p> <p>Beth-Thanks! Overall I thought the boots were a nicer selection this year than last year at NAS. I'll have to try layering some scarves with the sweater before I return it, it is super soft and I really do like that blue color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases-1#post-679567 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 17:18:06 +0000 Beth 679567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice choices, Lisa! The Uggs-That-Don't-Look-Like-Uggs are fantastic and both blazers are flattering and could be excellent workhorses. </p> <p>Also love the sweater. Are there ways you could wear it sans blazer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases-1#post-679531 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 16:38:55 +0000 rachylou 679531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You Look Fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases-1#post-679450 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 14:43:59 +0000 Charmian 679450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are Uggs? They look so tough (ie, fun)!</p> <p>I actually ordered the Caslon blazer/sweatshirt in burgundy as well; if it works out on me half as well as you I think I made the right call. Lovely color for you.</p> <p>( what is that top you're wearing under it? It looks just like my cream-with-tiny-black-polka-dots cowlneck that I'd planned on wearing with mine too! ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases-1#post-679449 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 14:41:43 +0000 Janet 679449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those boots are kickass! </p> <p>All great items on you. Like Angie, I can't help but wonder if that cowlneck sweater might still deserve a place in your wardrobe. It really does look nice on you. </p> <p>I got that scarf and think it will work nicely with the sweater -- in fact, you've now got me curious: I got that zip-back sweater in teal, and I wonder if the scarf would work with mine as well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases-1#post-679444 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 14:37:03 +0000 Heather 679444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa!!! *hugs*</p> <p>Admittedly, I have been waiting for this thread! Glad I didn't miss it.</p> <p>I adore you in those BA boots!! So unexpected!</p> <p>I also adore you in burgundy!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases-1#post-679428 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 14:19:21 +0000 christieanne 679428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic jackets! And the boots are too cool. I didn't see those or the Caslon jacket at the store I shopped - will check online.<br /> The boots look like something you will love for years! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases-1#post-679423 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 14:17:12 +0000 Angie 679423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You absolutely ROCK these looks, Lisa! All k-word worthy. </p> <p>Are you sure you want to return that cowl? </p> <p>I just adore you in burgundy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases-1#post-679422 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 14:13:58 +0000 cjh 679422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boots: fab! Jackets: fab! I love the colors and they both look like great fitting comfortable choices. Glad you will not keep the sweater as the cowl neck seems a little overdone for some reason. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases-1#post-679418 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 14:07:47 +0000 Jjsloane 679418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love what you've chosen to keep. You should get tons of wear from all of them. I'm glad someone got the Caslon knit blazer - I was tempted by the great colors, but had heard no reviews and didn't recall seeing them in my store. I have sort of given up on cowl necks as they are play alone IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases-1#post-679412 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 14:02:44 +0000 Anonymous 679412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are some very good choices Lisa! I love the teal and red blazers for you. Too bad about the cowl neck. They can be a pain for layering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases-1#post-679401 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 13:55:17 +0000 merwoman 679401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your picks Lisa- in particular am lusting after that red blazer. Looks very tailored, but bet if feels so soft and cozy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-purchases-1#post-679399 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 13:53:45 +0000 MNsara 679399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boy, has Uggs stepped up their game! Those are fab boots, Lisa :-)</p> <p>My other fave for you is that blue blazer - beautiful on you!! These seem like well thought out additions to you wardrobe for this NAS. </p>
