I almost sent the Wit &Wisdom flares back. I washed the W&W skinny crops and they shrank a lot. I may still return the flares. The skinny jeans went from perfect to imperfect after washing. Like a different pair of jeans. So disappointed. I cannot recommend them any more.

The pants look good too but having to constantly hike up pants drives me crazy so I would return. I actually like the blue cardi, especially if you pushed up the sleeves a bit. I think the black buttons make it different and I like the color on you. The pink one is nice too though. The wrap looks so cozy and the bag is adorable so I'm glad you are keeping those. I am lukewarm on the EF jeans. Maybe you can do better? lyn67 on "My NAS Results" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-results#post-2055454 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 08:02:16 +0000 lyn67 2055454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Not a NAS professional BUT super great picks, love the little texture bag and  I especially like jeans in nr 9!

It's always been a problem with me, I posted about it years ago.  And it doesn't seem to matter what the rise is. I actually like the volume on volume look but know it's not my best look. My (now deceased) dear mother used to always rail against my love of oversized clothing.  My boyfriend is less harsh about it, preferring positive comments when I wear something more conventionally flattering. Suz probably the EF pants would fit me better in regular.  Anyway I'm going to pass because I love the length of the petites and don't want more bulky rolling at the bottom nor tailoring.  There are zero tailors where I live. Go ahead and try the Wit and Wisdom in petite size.  I think the fit is perfect on me.  Especially for flats and sneakers. AviaMariah the blue sweater is so cute but I agree it is a one season sweater. christy on "My NAS Results" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-results#post-2054802 Wed, 21 Aug 2019 22:25:48 +0000 christy 2054802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love my NYDJ pants but they definitely stretch as the day progresses. If sizing down isn’t an option, then I vote return. Nothing worse than having to be constantly yanking up your pants!! And I can’t imagine it would be worth it to try to make them work by creating belt loops. I like the aqua cardigan, but I’d wear it with leggings and tall boots (my go-to casual winter formula). I’m not a fan of it paired with the jeans, just because it seems like too much volume on volume. I’d do the same with the Nic & Zoe cardigan. Send back the boyfriend jeans if they are uncomfortable! Is it worth trying the regular vs. petite size? Good to see you! Suz on "My NAS Results" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-results#post-2054765 Wed, 21 Aug 2019 18:51:08 +0000 Suz 2054765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ah...Denise, that makes sense. I have the EF jeans in regular, not petite. I almost never order petite pants because my rise is too long and I would get pinching in lady parts. I didn't have to hem these in regular because I will wear cuffed.  I am also short waisted. But long rise.  I have not tried Wit and Wisdom but will do so for sure -- thank you! AviaMariah on "My NAS Results" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-results#post-2054733 Wed, 21 Aug 2019 15:45:29 +0000 AviaMariah 2054733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm a little biased toward the light blue and pink N&Z cardigans since I kept both of them.  I did re-order the blue cardigan and I think I may have even gone down two sizes - from s to xxs?  I can't remember for sure.  Can you size down?  I loved the N&Z the moment I put it on.  But it's my color and I really liked how it felt.  And I agree with you - lady bits should not be in danger from jeans! notsaf on "My NAS Results" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-results#post-2054696 Wed, 21 Aug 2019 14:01:34 +0000 notsaf 2054696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What Angie and Joy said: no to trousers without belt loops (why?!?) and no to uncomfortable denim. Those bootcuts look splendid on you!

I prefer the aqua to the watermelon cardigan.

Sooo great that you bought fab items for work. Return aqua cardi. Like the watermelon. Different for you. Nice with your lilac capsule. You too, had a brilliant NAS. Whooohooo.

I would return anything that you have doubts about. There will be other items if you need something later. #6. Does look a little big on you but you may want to layer under it. The black buttons will help it to tie in with your black. #1 and 8 are my favorites of the lot. Enjoy CocoLion on "My NAS Results" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-results#post-2054610 Wed, 21 Aug 2019 02:27:51 +0000 CocoLion 2054610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Suz -- when I sit down, the EF jeans feel like they pinch my lady parts.  So sorry to have to be so graphic.  Have no idea why this happens, it could be because they are petite and I have a long rise for a petite (but I am very short from the waist up).  The Wit and Wisdom line in petites fits me supremely well!  Both the skinny and the flares.  Have you tried this brand?  I am thrilled with the fit.  They fit better than my premium Frames.  They haven't been Angie picks but I would recommend considering them next season as I am so pleased with them this year. Thanks for the words of wisdom Rachy.  The thing about the EFs that I *do* like is that they are black so I can wear them for work yet they have a very different silhouette from what I usually wear which is skinny jeans and crops and straights.  The Wit and Wisdom Absolution flares will be great in that regard. The Absolution line has an internal elastic band that I like.  It kind of sucks you in without pinching or being tight. Suz on "My NAS Results" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-results#post-2054605 Wed, 21 Aug 2019 02:04:15 +0000 Suz 2054605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Denise, I just got in after a bit of a long day but will come back tomorrow. Just want to say for now...I like both #1 and #2 in terms of looks but if #2 less practical (and not as well fitting) then return.  All the other stuff you love, loves you back, so go for it.  What means "crotch pinch"? Not long enough in rise or too long? I am curious. I have these jeans too and have a very long rise and did not notice this. By the way, they look great on you.  So glad about the lilac cardi -- that sounds perfect. xo  rachylou on "My NAS Results" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-results#post-2054600 Wed, 21 Aug 2019 01:38:53 +0000 rachylou 2054600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Everything looks fabulous! I’d return the uncomfortable pants tho; just not worth the fuss. CocoLion on "My NAS Results" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-results#post-2054591 Wed, 21 Aug 2019 00:20:15 +0000 CocoLion 2054591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I did receive the last of my NAS order a few weeks ago but haven't had a day off to consider my purchases.  Well, today's my day off!  I took pictures so I can solicit your opinions.  I got a lot of practical things for my work uniform (all black). 1.  Absolution Bootcuts.  Pictured.  Keeping.  Last year they were too short.  They lengthened them a bit and now they are the perfect length. Also purchased Absolution Skinny Jeans.  Perfect for work.  Keeping (already worn twice).  Not pictured but in finds. 2.  NYDJ Stretch Knit Trousers.  These feel great on.  But there are no belt loops.  They are a bit big, a size down would stay up better but I don't like the look of tight knit pants on myself.  Should I create belt loops?  I know these will fall down as the day progresses.  Thinking of returning.  #1 above the jean style pants are much better for work with all of the pockets and belt loops.   3 and 4.  Scoop back knit top.  Perfect for work, I love the side view.  I sized up and can push my stomach out without any lumps and bumps showing.  I think this was an Angie pick?  I was concerned it would be indecent but in a size up it is modest while still being feminine. 5.  Tweed bag and Salina Birkenstocks.  The bag is a small version of an Angie pick.  I got this for evening occasions.  I love it, keeping.  Salinas -- black was not my first choice, but they didn't have a size 35 in pink or silver.  I find Birkenstocks to run very large.  I kept them for their great fit and comfort plus they are the shoes I wear on the way to work and home.  I switch into clogs for work.  6.  Cozy V-Neck cardigan.  On the fence.  It's super cozy but is it too big?   7. Nic & Zoe Tipped Cardigan.  On the fence.  What do you think? 8.  Cashmere Fringe Wrap.  Love!  Keep! 9.  EF boyfriend jeans.  On the fence.  I like the way they look, but feel a bit of crotch pinch when sitting down.  Might go away when fabric eases.  What do you think? Not pictured: -Sentimental lilac twinset.  Got the cardigan in a size down and it fits so much better.  The sleeves and shoulders are just right on and I do not have to cuff the sleeves either. -Tory Burch watch.  Love!  Keep! - Angie pick striped top.  I posted about this earlier.  Love!  Keep! Shoes were not a winner for me this NAS.  The Eccos and the Vans were both too big.  I also realized I have some still perfectly good black fashion sneakers from Skechers, although they are not slip ons. I would love your opinions on #2, #6, #7 and #9.
