I hope the boots ease up and prove comfortable. I have high and sensitive insteps, so I understand that uncomfortable pressure - even worse if it’s an old injury.&nbsp;</p> <p>Zella used to be such a mainstay for me, and I’m really disappointed in their overall quality now - there’s less of a distinction in quality with Zella vs. their Nordstrom Rack Z by Zella brand (if the latter is still around - when it first came out I was surprised at the difference.) These days when I buy Zella, I’m actually seeking out the older stuff on secondhand markets - it lasts longer even if it’s previously been worn! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---finally-back-home-and-able-to-try-on#post-2334494 Sat, 12 Aug 2023 22:13:19 +0000 Carol 2334494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that black jacket—very Charlize Theron. I would also be disappointed if it didn’t work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---finally-back-home-and-able-to-try-on#post-2334451 Sat, 12 Aug 2023 13:58:49 +0000 kkards 2334451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very late to this, but I’ve reach that point where I’m not sure it’s possible to have to many sneakers. &nbsp; I find myself reaching for them every day, my other shoes are feeling left out.&nbsp;<div>Hoping those black and white boots were, they are really sharp looking. &nbsp;I ended up ordering them in the cognac…still debating if I’m keeping (see comment on sneakers)l but I’m pretty impressed with the quality given the price. &nbsp;&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---finally-back-home-and-able-to-try-on#post-2334402 Sat, 12 Aug 2023 01:01:20 +0000 Karie 2334402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope the boots work out, they are very unique. Sneakers, hoodies, and warm winter coats are right up my alley so I’m glad they worked out for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---finally-back-home-and-able-to-try-on#post-2334189 Thu, 10 Aug 2023 14:30:07 +0000 JP 2334189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pieces, Janet! I'm glad you had a good ratio of keepers, they're all fab. Looking forward to your styling session photos.<br /> When I saw the Zella jacket in your purchases I liked the look of it but I didn't order it because the sleeves looked tight and you just confirmed it. Too bad, it's a really cool jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---finally-back-home-and-able-to-try-on#post-2334186 Thu, 10 Aug 2023 13:34:53 +0000 Janet 2334186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nancylee, yes! Sometimes it’s a relief to just have a quick decision made for me, LOL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---finally-back-home-and-able-to-try-on#post-2334112 Wed, 09 Aug 2023 16:05:01 +0000 nancylee 2334112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good job, Janet! It is too bad about the Zella jacket, but at least the keep/return decision is easy when you put it on and immediately think: Nope! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---finally-back-home-and-able-to-try-on#post-2334081 Wed, 09 Aug 2023 12:31:22 +0000 Bijou 2334081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you are keeping the sneakers, they are fab. I have some grey sneakers and it is surprising at how they just seem to go with everything and are especially good with denim.</p> <p>The hoodie will be a nice match for your burgundy sneakers from Paris! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---finally-back-home-and-able-to-try-on#post-2334065 Wed, 09 Aug 2023 11:34:01 +0000 Janet 2334065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all! Sorry no pics yet, but I’ll get some eventually. Still fighting the good fight to get back on east coast US time! </p> <p>I did wear the boots around the house for a little bit yesterday and they seemed to ease up some, but I want to test them further. I have a little trouble with pressure on the top of my left foot (my larger foot, with an old broken bone injury in the instep) and want to be sure I won’t be uncomfortable! I can even feel the pressure in sneakers after a day of 6+ miles of walking or being on my feet, but that’s not super common (just top of mind since that was the norm while on vacation!). I do want my day-to-day footwear to carry me through a typical 10k+ step day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---finally-back-home-and-able-to-try-on#post-2334061 Wed, 09 Aug 2023 11:08:29 +0000 gryffin 2334061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet congrats! Great pieces. Particularly love the boots! Jacket is super nice and a great hoodie can’t be beat. Enjoy your beautiful pieces! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---finally-back-home-and-able-to-try-on#post-2333927 Tue, 08 Aug 2023 17:24:40 +0000 Angie 2333927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY! You had a fab NAS! And welcome back. Bet Sunny and Woody are elated :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Those boots are SOOOO <b>JANET</b>! I can see you rock them.</p> <p>Sneakers are THE shoe of our era. Good job getting three extra pairs! The grey ones here are fab with your new salty locks. Of course you should keep them!</p> <p>Yeah. I had that Zella jacket on some clients. Toooooooo tight.&nbsp;</p> <p>Blank Noir items are really well made! Glad you got this fab topper. &nbsp;</p> <p>And hoodies can work really well. We're allowed a few ;)&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---finally-back-home-and-able-to-try-on#post-2333920 Tue, 08 Aug 2023 16:26:05 +0000 Suz 2333920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! I hope the boots do work. Too bad about the Zella jacket, but that's not a bad average overall! Good to have you back here. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---finally-back-home-and-able-to-try-on#post-2333919 Tue, 08 Aug 2023 16:24:05 +0000 Roberta 2333919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Buying sneakers in Paris seems like the most chic thing in the world. I'm so glad you love the Blanc Noir jacket, as I really admired it and think it will look great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---finally-back-home-and-able-to-try-on#post-2333915 Tue, 08 Aug 2023 16:10:39 +0000 rachylou 2333915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! I do so hope the boots prove ok, because they sure are cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---finally-back-home-and-able-to-try-on#post-2333907 Tue, 08 Aug 2023 15:22:47 +0000 Janet 2333907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all! It was a fabulous trip to Europe for us, but after 28 days (!!) we are very happy to be home in our own beds, with our doggies!</p> <p>I’m unpacking and laundrying today, and just got the chance to open the box from Nordstrom. Here are my notes:</p> <p>1. Dolce Vita black and white western booties. They look fab! I like the way they flash the white when I sit down wearing full length wide leg jeans, but I’ll have to try a session with some crops and boyfriends too, to see how they look styles that way. The larger concern is a slight bit of stiffness across the instep. I’m wearing them around the house a bit to see if it seems to ease or not. If the issue remains, I’ll return them, which would be a shame. I like the black and white mix a lot. Just enough white to be a spot of interest without screaming “white footwear” (just my personal preference). </p> <p>2. Zella black jacket. Big disappointment. Sleeves sticky and snug (hard to pull on over a sleeved top), and one of the snaps pulled out of the fabric right away. Not great quality. Returning.</p> <p>3. Rag &amp; Bone sneakers. I was almost hoping these wouldn’t work, because I gained not one but two pairs of sneakers in Paris. (Yeah, I know, who goes to Paris and gets sneakers? Apparently me! But more on that in a separate post.) But they are very comfortable and a great fit straight out of the box. I’ve been eyeing them since last year’s NAS in both the blue and the grey, and the grey feels like a nice alternative to my white or black or silver sneakers. It also goes great with my favorite handbag (the grey Bao Bao backpack). So I’m inclined to keep. I do wear my sneakers!</p> <p>4. Blanc Noir white jacket. Surprisingly warm and super well made! I wasn’t expecting it to be so substantial but it’s really nice. It’s roomier and longer on me than the model photo, but this is a winter jacket for sure. So it’s good to have room for a couple of layers underneath. Hubs likes it too. So I’m inclined to keep it. Really good piece for the price point!</p> <p>5. On hoodie. Ok, I don’t really need another hoodie, but this is another very quality piece, with excellent details (the drawstring holder, the zips at the hem!), and I get a LOT of wear out of my hoodies so they tend to be good buys. The burgundy is a little browner than my favorite shade, but when all the other details are as right as they are on this piece, I’ll accept a shade that’s a little off my ideal. It’s a bit oversized but I like that in a hoodie. Fabric is more like a performance piece than a cotton, but I’m good with that too. Keeper. </p> <p>So, it looks like three keepers with a possibility of a fourth. Not a bad sale at all, and a very good ratio for what I ordered (3/5 or 4/5!). </p>
