That lovely color brightens your skin tone a lot.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also like the two toned &nbsp;grey colorblock shirt over the plain black as it seems more lively and youthful but it sounds like that's a unanimous vote. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---outfit-lab---help-me-decide#post-1536381 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 23:54:08 +0000 frannieb 1536381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Waves to my shoe twin -</p> <p>This is where we are now - Gray sweater is a keep see new post, will get the colorblock sweater and I'm still deciding on the toppers leaning towards keeping both because I do wear "suits" to work almost every day.<br />Suit in the sense bottoms and a topper of some sort - it is kinda my look. Because of my different sizes top and bottom traditional suits are a nightmare to buy and when I do buy them the tailoring is out of this world, &nbsp;so I don't do them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---outfit-lab---help-me-decide#post-1536313 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 21:28:46 +0000 Anonymous 1536313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm echoing everyone else on the Lafayette items and the colourblock top, which is a definite yes-yes! Agree with you on the EF vest; I'm not a fan. you've got some wonderful items here! We're shoe twins on the Paul Greens and the AGL boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---outfit-lab---help-me-decide#post-1536272 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 19:59:03 +0000 Vix 1536272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Frannie --</p> <p>Lucky you to have found some great deals on Lafayette -- I always drool over their fabrics!</p> <p>I like both jackets; the blue is more fun and very feminine, and the tweed more classic/serious. Don't know if one is better for your workplace/style/needs?</p> <p>The EF vest looks does look too long...perhaps shorted to right above knee length then worn with slim pants or your pencil skirts?&nbsp;</p> <p>Re drapey top you find problematic -- I really like a lot of stuff about it (esp the hemline). If you aren't feeling this is "the one" I'd keep trying that style on. Also, I'll rouch anything that doesn't move, but I've learned the hard way if those items come out looking wrinkly they seem to be a big PITA (seatbelts, purses, coats, washing = wrinkles); I'd do some fabric scrunching on this one and see what happens.</p> <p>The colorblock sweater is a great statement piece and it sounds like you've already moved it to your "keep" pile, so....;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---outfit-lab---help-me-decide#post-1536188 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 15:52:14 +0000 frannieb 1536188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay I need to actually try the gray sweater styled and I want to try a size down. It is cloudy and rainy today so a good day to visit Nordstrom to make returns and try a smaller size sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---outfit-lab---help-me-decide#post-1536074 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 13:01:01 +0000 kkards 1536074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i think i'm going to regret not getting the timberlands!<br />anyway, another for that fab colorblock sweater, love. and the drapey in 9/10. i like both lafayette&nbsp;toppers, but i have a weakness for for blazers/jackets...and i love the oxfords!</p> <p>&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---outfit-lab---help-me-decide#post-1536067 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 12:48:17 +0000 Colette 1536067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, that sweater in #13/14 is fantastic on you! And the trapeze jacket. I also think you did a great job refreshing your footwear. (Those NYDJ ponte pants are in my keep pile too.)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---outfit-lab---help-me-decide#post-1535921 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 02:34:49 +0000 Suz 1535921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the colour block sweater and the top in #9. Gorgeous on you! I also love the Trapeze jacket -- super fun piece. You have chosen some winners! If you are happy with the footwear, that is an extra bonus. They all look really nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---outfit-lab---help-me-decide#post-1535887 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 01:33:29 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1535887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The clear winner for me is the colorblock sweater. Super flattering! Next was the drapey top in #9/10. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---outfit-lab---help-me-decide#post-1535886 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 01:10:31 +0000 frannieb 1535886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone it is so hard to decide -&nbsp;<br />As Angie pointed out the jacket and sweater are a push out of my comfort zone.</p> <p>The colorblock shirt is soundly within my comfort zone.&nbsp;</p> <p>oddly with the lafayette drape shirt - I like it in pictures - just on it feels big and sloppy - it is such a different look for me wear. Thinking Thinking thinking</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---outfit-lab---help-me-decide#post-1535833 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 23:49:41 +0000 Peri 1535833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's always my habit to jump right to pictures before reading and my immediate reaction was full out love for 13-14. I hope you keep that one! I can't see enough detail to judge 15...it kind of looks like a dress, but that could be a good thing. Those are my favorites of the group. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---outfit-lab---help-me-decide#post-1535820 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 23:24:41 +0000 Elle 1535820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE #4/5 (great style and color on you) and #13/14 (color block is very&nbsp; chic) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---outfit-lab---help-me-decide#post-1535759 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 22:14:41 +0000 unfrumped 1535759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Angie said, natch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---outfit-lab---help-me-decide#post-1535737 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 22:01:43 +0000 Angie 1535737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To my eye, it's really easy to see the killer winners: </p> <ul> <li>&nbsp;Trapeze Lafayette Jacket - #2. Much more interesting and flattering than the navy tweed.&nbsp;</li> <li>&nbsp;Lafayette Top - #9. Not too big at all. You need to get used to that amount of drape. Arty Chic. &nbsp;</li> <li>Colour block top - #13. Conventionally flattering, and an easy pull-on-and-go.&nbsp;</li> </ul> <p>Yes. I am pushing you out of your comfort zone, frannie. That's what I do.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---outfit-lab---help-me-decide#post-1535727 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 21:53:21 +0000 JamC 1535727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I got to the charcoal grey Lafayette top I thought "That is fantastic!" Kind of surprised you aren't happy with it. From the boutique, I think you should get the colorblock top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---outfit-lab---help-me-decide#post-1535714 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 21:37:07 +0000 frannieb 1535714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies - I had the shop owner take pictures of me so I could think about which ones I want to buy - she is super cool that way. Another client and I were in trying on tons of stuff and we both took pictures so we could go home and think about it.</p> <p>Have added one in finds and one as a picture to get a better look </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---outfit-lab---help-me-decide#post-1535710 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 21:34:33 +0000 abc 1535710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The vest in 6-8 seems too long on you but it could be the styling. Try it with a slimmer pant underneath before giving up. Love 13-14. Agree re lighting. Making it tough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---outfit-lab---help-me-decide#post-1535705 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 21:29:28 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1535705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you might need to go in brighter light. The dark colors make it hard to distinguish one piece from another. But I like th pieces you've chosen! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas---outfit-lab---help-me-decide#post-1535702 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 21:26:04 +0000 frannieb 1535702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA add pictures fo lafafette tops because you can't see them well in the picture</p> <p>All my boxes are in -<br />Keepers already&nbsp;</p> <p>Black Classique top<br />Black NYDJ ponte pants<br />Black faux leather&nbsp;<br />and three pair of shoes &nbsp;( I needed a serious shoe refresh as my feet have gotten majorly fussy in the last two years)<br />Feeling great about all of those purchases</p> <p>Now onto the maybe's - yes or no - a lot of pictures so thank you for looking - I was kinda feeling lazy not the best skirt to try things on with but it worked&nbsp;</p> <p>Picture 1 - Black classique top and black skirt same base for all the toppers<br />Picture 2 and 3 - lafayette trapeze coat in a bluish color - I'm thinking it looks good but not fab<br />Pictures 4 and 5 - Lafayette navy blue topper - I think it has a good fit and and would play well with my wardrobe<br />Pictures 6, 7 and 8 - EF long vest - I loved it in the store - not so much now - I don't like it from the side at all and really only like it closed - Thoughts<br />9 and 10 - lafayette top - it just feels sloppy to me - is it two big - the arms just don't feel right - it is a size XL - do I need a large or try something else<br />11 and 12 timberland boats - I hate them on my feet going back. &nbsp;Try for something else</p> <p>Non - NAS&nbsp;<br />Pictures<br />Favorite boutique having a lafayette trunk show - the skirt came home with me a replacement for the sadly worn out other black ponte skirt.</p> <p>Thoughts on the two tops - Say forget to all the NAS toppers &nbsp;and get these two iinstead or which one should I get&nbsp;</p> <p>13 and 14 plays well with new skirt and black pants in my wardrobe - last picture in finds<br />15 plays well with leather skirt from last year and new skirt - top in last picture</p> <p>Oh decisions decisions once these are done I am quite done for some time as my wardrobe for the rest of summer and fall is in quite spectacular shape</p> <p>All feedback greatly appreciated</p>
