Size up. The rise is quite high.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-non-nas-recent-fails#post-2365729 Thu, 18 Jul 2024 18:48:53 +0000 April 2365729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Update: Got the new collar and am keeping. Bit of a fuss to get it on but once it's on I love the look!</p> <p>No black jeans yet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-non-nas-recent-fails#post-2365158 Sun, 14 Jul 2024 09:26:45 +0000 April 2365158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For the record, on the KL collar, I did initiate the return and reordered it in a larger size. Added a pair of black jeans - a wardrobe hole for me - that were 50% off. </p> <p>But yes, I do love them, no sales goggles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-non-nas-recent-fails#post-2365144 Sun, 14 Jul 2024 00:03:18 +0000 Jaime 2365144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know, I think you could pull off the KL collar beautifully. But practically - well I see your point. Hope the jeans work out in the smaller size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-non-nas-recent-fails#post-2365079 Sat, 13 Jul 2024 09:41:12 +0000 April 2365079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bijou, my thought exactly! I do think it's impractical for me. Haven't actually boxed that one up for return, however, so I may consider one size up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-non-nas-recent-fails#post-2365074 Sat, 13 Jul 2024 06:04:20 +0000 Bijou 2365074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope you get the KL collar, it is such a fun piece and a good match with your Choupette gloves! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-non-nas-recent-fails#post-2365066 Sat, 13 Jul 2024 03:44:12 +0000 Sal 2365066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sizing is so frustrating. My sympathies!</p> <p>My mistake is these boots. Oh how I love how they look. Oh how I hate how hard they are to get on and off. Almost impossible. I purchased second hand and will donate - I don’t have a wide foot but these would suit a very low volume foot….. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-non-nas-recent-fails#post-2365064 Sat, 13 Jul 2024 01:22:21 +0000 April 2365064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NYDJ has always touted their "go one size smaller!" fits but this level of sizing seems completely off the hook.&nbsp;</p> <p>Angie, you're so right. That could be done very easily. I doubt very much the seat fits either. Maybe this is just not the pair for me? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-non-nas-recent-fails#post-2365057 Fri, 12 Jul 2024 23:12:43 +0000 DonnaF 2365057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NYDJ always requires going down a size or two. Since I generally require even Petites to be shortened, I vacillate between needing/buying Regular vs Petite sizing.&nbsp;</p> <p>FWIW, I can't wear loafers or other slip-on flats so I decided to try loafer mules. We shall see and we shall see. All three below are at different price points. Haven't seen any two-tone ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-non-nas-recent-fails#post-2365040 Fri, 12 Jul 2024 20:53:01 +0000 Angie 2365040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it just the waist that too big? That can be altered, if so.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-non-nas-recent-fails#post-2365039 Fri, 12 Jul 2024 20:49:49 +0000 April 2365039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So guess what happened today. I tried on the Brigittes with my phone in hand to post a photo and they are STILL too large.</p> <p>I may give up, since in the meantime I have chopped off a pair of jeans I had two of and reordered the white NYDJs. I might be sorted for jeans now, except still on the prowl for black ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-non-nas-recent-fails#post-2365036 Fri, 12 Jul 2024 20:23:26 +0000 Jenni NZ 2365036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Suz said. Those would have looked amazing in your outfits with gloves. Oh well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-non-nas-recent-fails#post-2365023 Fri, 12 Jul 2024 19:11:19 +0000 Suz 2365023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope the smaller size works out and what a shame about the shoes -- I love the look of them!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-non-nas-recent-fails#post-2364999 Fri, 12 Jul 2024 14:57:51 +0000 Roberta 2364999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bummer! I love the way loafers look, especially the classic Penny style such as you ordered, but they always rub my heels. Put those on the no buy list, at least for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-non-nas-recent-fails#post-2364984 Fri, 12 Jul 2024 13:27:55 +0000 kkards 2364984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jeans-so hard to shop for, so much trial and error. And honestly even when I find a really good pair they often require so alterations to be perfect.<br /> If you like a loafer look I’d look for brands that do a soft leather or driver </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-non-nas-recent-fails#post-2364982 Fri, 12 Jul 2024 13:21:48 +0000 Angie 2364982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope the smaller size works out!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-non-nas-recent-fails#post-2364973 Fri, 12 Jul 2024 12:12:17 +0000 Dee 2364973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Always a challenge shopping online, so tough to judge whether something will work out or not. Those 2 tone loafers look fab, but loafers are so tricky to shop for, like you said they are often too stiff and unforgiving or they slip off easily.<br /> Glad one pair of NYDJs has worked out for you. Looking forward to seeing them modelled. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-non-nas-recent-fails#post-2364966 Fri, 12 Jul 2024 11:12:08 +0000 April 2364966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As I mentioned on Angie's latest NAS report, I am in an "adding" mode to fill too many wardrobe holes created by several years of subtracting.</p> <p>Recent returns or exchanges, all pictured below:</p> <p>Love this but mine is too small - will likely exchange but haven't quite decided. Would I wear the larger size knowing it would likely be a relentless task to keep it clean?</p> <p>Bass Weejun Whitney loafer. Had a feeling the leather on these would be stiff, painful, unforgiving, and heel-rubbing and I was not wrong.</p> <p>Returned FIVE pairs of NYDJ jeans recently: four pure white Ellison Straights and one Brigitte Wide Leg in Marian Annabella (an Angie pic). My smaller size did arrive; will model today.</p> </p>
