Maybe he likes SEEING your gorgeous hips, Janet? FWIW, Greg loves me in shorter jackets too. Or elegant longer coats. That "in-between" length looks odd to him - but I do wear it.&nbsp;</p> <p>You had an excellent NAS. All top picks too. *happy dance* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-update#post-1835969 Mon, 14 Aug 2017 02:31:14 +0000 Laura G 1835969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a nice place to be--knowing your style and sticking to it. Beautiful pieces. And if I were going to wear a moto jacket, it would be *that* one!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-update#post-1835913 Sun, 13 Aug 2017 21:33:52 +0000 Scarlet 1835913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! It does look like a theme, doesn't it? But beautiful picks. Can't wait to see some of them in action. I am kind of digging that window-pane sweater. Somehow it didn't register with me, probably, because despite all evidence to the contrary I am trying to keep my pocket book closed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-update#post-1835910 Sun, 13 Aug 2017 20:58:54 +0000 Sal 1835910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great updates and all look versatile and in line with your lifestyle and climate. &nbsp;I often find myself between sizes (usually with pants - it is very frustrating). &nbsp;I like the window pane top but suspect there will be similar options around as more winter stock comes in. &nbsp;Black and white prints are very useful.</p> <p>Love the wrap, I have a kimono top and while not quite a workhorse it does get enough wear - really useful to make a basic look more special. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-update#post-1835895 Sun, 13 Aug 2017 19:51:35 +0000 karen13 1835895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw the Levis jacket and was wondering if I could DIY. Very sharp. I recently discovered the Levis shaping 314 straight legs (I have calf-sucking issues with all skinnies and many straights) and love them. And they come in a 30" inseam &nbsp;- I have the opposite length problem from you.</p> <p>One thing on my 314 that annoys is that the fly kind of sticks out, even though they aren't particularly tight. Do yours have that issue? Im hoping I just have a bad pair because I'm think of duplicating in another wash. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-update#post-1835847 Sun, 13 Aug 2017 16:38:16 +0000 Janet 1835847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smittie, I'm not sure what it is about the jacket that hubs is not crazy about. Next time I put it on, I'll have to ask him. Sometimes he gets stuck on a particular detail or outfit but once I put an item on with a different outfit, he ends up liking it. So maybe this is an association thing. </p> <p>Karen, I got the "shaping skinny" in a mid wash. All of my skinnies are dark wash, but I usually don't like lighter washes in skinny jeans because they tend to be clingy and highlight bumps and bulges. Somehow this particular pair works. And the waist is not too high, which also makes them work for me. Plus, the length was good, which is a rarity for me -- most skinnies are cut short/ankle length, and end up being too short on me. </p> <p><a href="http://t.levi.com/US/en_US/womens-jeans/p/196260047" rel="nofollow">http://t.levi.com/US/en_US/wom...../196260047</a></p> <p>I also got the altered trucker jacket at the Levi's store (even though the Find below is via Anthro), and have worn it twice already. It's a fun update to a basic faded denim jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-update#post-1835842 Sun, 13 Aug 2017 16:26:29 +0000 karen13 1835842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay , you went to the Levi's store in SF? Which ones did you get?</p> <p>Lots of good stuff here. I adore the Ted Baker bag and the Moto. The wrap is stunning and I think you will carry it beautifully. Can't wait to see pics now you are home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-update#post-1835833 Sun, 13 Aug 2017 15:40:07 +0000 Anonymous 1835833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohhh! I love the MK black jacket. I think it'll be a complete workhorse. It looks fab.</p> <p>I'm surprised that your husband doesn't like the BCBG jacket. I assume it's a long black jacket. Any idea why? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-update#post-1835831 Sun, 13 Aug 2017 15:34:43 +0000 Janet 1835831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, is there a theme to my NAS purchases or what? I just plugged in the Finds for this post and realized they are all firmly in my existing style preferences, which is fine. I didn't NEED anything going into the sale (although I did refresh the bra capsule with a couple of purchases in that department). But some lovely things did tempt me. </p> <p>Of course, there was the snafu with the Fuzzi dress, which does not appear to have come back into stock, and I'll keep an eye out, but I'm not overly invested in it. If it comes back and I try it and it looks absolutely amazing, I'll happily wear it for years to come, but I have no expectations. </p> <p>I've already used the black patterned scarf and the TB bag. Love both! </p> <p>I have not yet debuted the TB scarf/wrap, but I've literally been out of town ever since I bought it. For me, I think it will be the kind of piece I can layer even in cooler weather, over a column of black for instance, but if I start getting the feeling that this piece won't get worn, I'll return it. But it's really beautiful, so I want to try it! I will make a point of testing it out in an outfit this week to see if it is easy to wear and flattering enough.</p> <p>I tried the smaller size in the windowpane sweater, but hated how the lines in the pattern swerved out around my boobs, so back went the S. I ordered the M to give it another try, but if it really feels too much like I'm in between sizes, I won't hesitate to return it. </p> <p>I'm excited to wear the embroidered jacket when the weather cools off. Hubs loved it so it's a keeper. </p> <p>The last thing to arrive was the MK leather-trimmed long jacket. I have gotten so much wear out of my long jackets/toppers, especially my black one, that I liked the idea of finding another one. And hubs confessed he is not the biggest fan of the BCBG black jacket (knock me over with a feather, I had no idea). The BCBG has been worn a ton, and is starting to show signs of wear. The MK jacket is unlined, but it's wool and a bit heavier than my existing long black jacket, but I love the fit and the style. I've only tried it on over my summer outfit, not styled, but it feels very "me." I'll try to style it and post pics soon. If it passes that test, I think it's a keeper. </p> <p>I tried a couple of pairs of jeans -- the W&amp;W split-hem jeans were horrible on me, but the Paige "high waist" Hoxton skinnies were actually pretty good. A little short since they're "ankle" length, but I think with booties they would be OK. They're on back order until the end of September though. Considering I just found another pair of very good skinnies for me at Levi's in SF, I probably don't need the Hoxtons too. I eyed some of the other cut-hem styles, but honestly I can DIY some of those from my old existing jeans. </p>
