I am not particularly sad as I didn't really need anything after all.&nbsp; </p> <p>Sharan, it is a very good lingerie bag, isn't it?&nbsp; I actually got it because it's BIG enough to fit a handknit sweater into, unlike my existing ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---all-strikeouts-so-far#post-1525107 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 17:45:34 +0000 Joyce B 1525107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry that they did not work out.<br /> At least you can save your money for something better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---all-strikeouts-so-far#post-1525034 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 16:22:44 +0000 rachylou 1525034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shame.

Disappointing. I have a feeling that if I am successful with any of my loot, it'll be because it's such basic stuff that it would be hard to mess up on...Already assuming the leather jacket will go back. They're really hard to get right with the fit, particularly for us short-waisted women. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---all-strikeouts-so-far#post-1524711 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 03:20:57 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1524711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bummer! More money for other purchases later, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---all-strikeouts-so-far#post-1524693 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 02:57:28 +0000 kerry 1524693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's too bad NAS isn't working out :(</p> <p>I have to say I admire so much your commitment to not settling and waiting to find items that are exactly right. You know so well why a fit isn't working (I need to figure this out better) and what fabrications you like, find comfortable and why.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---all-strikeouts-so-far#post-1524690 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 02:53:03 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1524690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, yes, and I got the lingerie bag, too. I forgot to put it on my NAS post! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---all-strikeouts-so-far#post-1524664 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 02:31:25 +0000 Sveta 1524664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's too bad Diana. I liked the dress on you but if the fit is off back it goes!<br />I am sure some treasures will show up later - the season is still in the bud! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---all-strikeouts-so-far#post-1524657 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 02:21:25 +0000 Windchime 1524657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Disappointing. I like the IDEA of the Tahari dress on you very much-- the color and style seem very you; hopefully you will find something similar in a perfect fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---all-strikeouts-so-far#post-1524656 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 02:20:48 +0000 Beth Ann 1524656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the reviews.&nbsp; The back waist can be a particularly tricky spot to fit.&nbsp; Love the looks of the jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---all-strikeouts-so-far#post-1524641 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 02:09:02 +0000 Banoffi 1524641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry your NAS items didn't work. &nbsp;But it's no good to buy things that aren't right just because they are on sale. (Something I often have to remind myself of.) &nbsp; Smartwool socks are good though. &nbsp;;)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---all-strikeouts-so-far#post-1524600 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 01:35:16 +0000 abc 1524600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bummed but hey it opens up budget for other things, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---all-strikeouts-so-far#post-1524573 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 01:09:09 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1524573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, I'm sad for you about these items. It's nice that you shared your review.<br />I will admit I had to giggle at the outcome: Smartwool socks and a lingerie bag! Fortunately it sounds like the sale wasn't a terrible bust for you, since you weren't looking for a lot.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---all-strikeouts-so-far#post-1524567 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 00:58:34 +0000 Diana 1524567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress IS a petite. I guess I'm just that short waisted. </p> <p>Una, nothing's on my list really other than maybe a new tote (didn't see any I liked at NAS). I usually just shop NAS for HEWIs and basics/classics. At this point I'm not thinking in specifics about what I want to wear in the fall at all. I'm not much of a preseason shopper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---all-strikeouts-so-far#post-1524562 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 00:38:00 +0000 catgirl 1524562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Drat. I had high hopes for the jacket. What else was on your list generally? I keep seeing new items... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---all-strikeouts-so-far#post-1524546 Tue, 21 Jul 2015 23:38:38 +0000 Thistle 1524546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad there isn't a petite in either style. Too bad, but something else will come along. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---all-strikeouts-so-far#post-1524532 Tue, 21 Jul 2015 23:07:12 +0000 Angie 1524532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blast. You need a petite in both. What a pity.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---all-strikeouts-so-far#post-1524530 Tue, 21 Jul 2015 23:04:17 +0000 shedev 1524530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's better to have a bust than a bunch of orphans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---all-strikeouts-so-far#post-1524521 Tue, 21 Jul 2015 22:51:59 +0000 Anonymous 1524521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, something exciting will come along later.&nbsp; I admire your shopping discipline. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---all-strikeouts-so-far#post-1524514 Tue, 21 Jul 2015 22:44:51 +0000 viva 1524514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's too bad, Diana. It's so hard not to be able to find something just right at NAS, with all the excitement around here! I can empathize about dresses with a waist. I don't even try them on, typically. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---all-strikeouts-so-far#post-1524512 Tue, 21 Jul 2015 22:41:40 +0000 Diana 1524512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A couple of my NAS boxes arrived today, containing the halogen smocked jacket and the Tahari navy dress. I'm sending both back, unfortunately, but here's a quick review. </p> <p>The halogen leather jacket is very nice, and feels more expensive than it is. The leather feels divine, very soft and supple. The stretch fabric panels in the arms are thick and sturdy and don't seem like they would stretch out. With that said, it's too long for me. You can see this especially from the back, where its bunching up both at the waist and at the armhole level. I can also feel in the sleeves that the armhole is too low. Sadly it does not come in petite. It is fine open but I specifically want a leather jacket that I can wear closed. </p> <p>The Tahari dress also bunches at the waist although it might be hard to see in this photo. Just reinforces my assertion that dresses with waist seams are tricky for me. This is already a petite and to be honest I would prefer a non petite length on this skirt anyway. The fabric is a thick ponte, fully lined. I find it a bit clingy (in looks, although it feels fine). The little neckline detail and shape are really nice though.</p> <p>Looks like NAS is a bust for me this year. I also tried and returned a couple of bras. So all I'm keeping are some smart wool socks and a lingerie wash bag. </p>
