I especially love the stripe skirt on you, and I think the 8 should be perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2014---part-2#post-1317443 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 02:32:51 +0000 Sveta 1317443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole, I hope the vest works for you too and we can be twins. Which size did you order - it runs big...<br />Thanks Von - there is not much pink in my closet, I think I need to remedy that!<br />Rachy, this vest in navy would be awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2014---part-2#post-1317093 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 18:56:36 +0000 rachylou 1317093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried those jeans on! They're cool. I also really love the sleeveless jacket. I want one of those in navy...</p> <p>The skirt looks great on you too. I feel it's *you.* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2014---part-2#post-1317011 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 17:18:29 +0000 Von 1317011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope the new skirt fits you, I am like you with pleats, they must do exactly right, or they're not going to make you happy.&nbsp; I think it will be a good skirt on you though.</p> <p>I like the skinnies also, but I must say that I LOVE when you wear pink tones -- they all look so great against your skin, all the way from blush to vivid pink.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2014---part-2#post-1316999 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 16:57:43 +0000 Sveta 1316999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your moral support! :-)<br />Whew, I am glad I was not deluding myself that I can wear those plaid skinnies. So Angie, you think the length is passable - they hardly cover my ankle bone. <br /><b>Suz</b>, I was really amazed to the range of colors which play nicely with those plaid jeans. I don't like it with optic white as much but cream, ivory, ecru and off white are great. I even liked them with&nbsp; python Pettys for a fun pattern mix. I tried them with Taupe Pettys, purple Naya, cranberry Munro and chestnut Vaneli booties and they look great with all of them. I even don't mind them with black booties&nbsp;&nbsp; - my hair is bookending enough (but tall black boots are too much IMO). I think I am going to have a lot of fun with them and for $53 it is a very good deal, right?<br /><b>lisap</b>, so you see what I see in the back of that size 6 skirt, right? I wonder how SA did not see it when I asked for her advice and said it was OK.<br /><b>Eliza</b>, of course Angie is right - all we need to do is listen!:-)<br /><b>Anna</b>, as always any praize from you means <b>A LOT</b>!<br /><b>Inge</b>, taupe or cream boots may work - I feel like if the boots match one of the main&nbsp;colors of the plaid they may creat more cohesive look. However the hope to find such boots in my size is almost nil And I am thrilled to be a gilet twin with you! Thanks for looking for the skirt for me. I think I was not clear - they were available online but were not available in the store to buy while I was there. I am planning to order online, just need to figure out logistics ;-)<br /><b>Aquamarine</b> - thank you. I appreciate your honest comment on the vest. I will see how I feel in it - after all as my wizard Mom says: you can always make it shorter; making it longer maybe a problem" :-)<br /><b>Mona</b>, I suggest you size up in these plaid jeans if you don't want too tight fit.<br /><b>Karie</b>, the blue stripe skirt would look&nbsp; amazing with your white BCBG jacket (in is not navy though, more like royal blue color, pretty bright).<br /><b>Claudia</b>, I am looking forward to seeing your jeans and hoep this size works for you.<br /><b>Windchime</b>, keep checking - the vest may come back. You may also want to call CS: I just returned mine in size L and it did not show online. SA checked for me that size S was availabel in one store but not showing online as well. I will keep my fingers crossed for you!<br /><b>Lisa</b>, you are right - why cover them with tall boots at all? :-)<br /><b>Angie</b>, thank you so much for this feedback and for your guidance: if not for you I would have never even considered these plaid jeans and the sirt in the brown stripe. I am glad you approve of everything! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2014---part-2#post-1316992 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 16:45:17 +0000 Nicole D 1316992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's exactly what I thought - her socks match her skirt! &nbsp;Love the jeans - I do think they work well with orchid, no sausage here. &nbsp;And the skirt is a work of art. &nbsp;I am waiting for the vest....you are stunning in it, and it's so nice to see you model it! &nbsp;Sveta, you were very smart in your clothing choices for NAS - kind of makes up for the boot challenges, I hope. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2014---part-2#post-1316889 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 14:27:11 +0000 Angie 1316889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the checked skinnies. Absolutely killer on you. Soooo glad that I can enjoy them on you.</p> <p>LOVE the grey&nbsp;gillet. YAY. I'm celebrating tall you and Inge in this glorious piece. Another killer look. Good idea <b>not</b> to size down.&nbsp;You will loose its modern cut. Mama might be able to take in the top part of the side seams though.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>And Inge found the gorgeous skirt for you in a &nbsp;size 8. You are sorted. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2014---part-2#post-1316835 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 13:23:15 +0000 Lisa 1316835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skinnies are a really fun piece and I don't mind that they don't work with tall boots. &nbsp;Why cover up the fun print with tall boots anyway right?<br />The skirt will be lovely in the right size, although I don't mind the grey stripe version, and how neat that the socks matched. &nbsp;The long vest is a avant garde piece, very dramatic and you have the height to pull it off. &nbsp;I'm looking forward to how you style this piece. &nbsp;Some great finds you have here!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2014---part-2#post-1316828 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 13:13:53 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1316828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OH my...I can't stop staring at pic #10 - the is one stunning outfit on you! The skinnies, the vest, the skirt...all fab for your style Sveta. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2014---part-2#post-1316813 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 12:57:06 +0000 Windchime 1316813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More admiration for how awesome the plaid jeans look on you! I think you're right that they will end up being quite a workhorse piece for you, as will that marvelous long vest (which I now wish I'd ordered). Looking forward to seeing how you style your fab new purchases. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2014---part-2#post-1316805 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 12:46:35 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1316805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your selectivity has a great payoff. You'll be wearing those items a ton, I'm sure. I looove the plaid jeans on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2014---part-2#post-1316799 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 12:37:56 +0000 pastrygirl 1316799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aha, here is the post!!! I GASPED when I saw you in those pants in the other thread! I wasn't sure if you were keeping them so I didn't comment, but I was completely knocked over by the way they look on you. FANTASTIC!!!!!</p> <p>The skirt looks great, too. I hope the 8 works!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2014---part-2#post-1316788 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 12:18:34 +0000 Claudia 1316788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, thanks for the detailed&nbsp;fit information on the KUT&nbsp;Mia jeans. I also have the BR cream skinnies and luckily ordered the Mias in that same size, so now I know what to expect in fit&nbsp;with these jeans and should get the looser look I wanted. Mine are due to arrive today, and I will be happy to&nbsp;look even half as great as you do in your pair.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2014---part-2#post-1316786 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 12:14:12 +0000 viva 1316786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore the pants and the skirt, and the vest does seem just made for you, Sveta!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2014---part-2#post-1316779 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 12:02:07 +0000 Karie 1316779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh you're wearing my favorite skirt! I've been thinking about buying it in the navy stripe, but after your comment about seeing them all in person and liking the brown/black humm......I also haven't pulled the trigger because I'm unsure about the size...</p> <p>I love those skinnies on you, and no you don't look like a plaid sausage, girlfriend! I think they will go with many of the colors in your wardrobe.</p> <p>The long vest looks amazing too!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2014---part-2#post-1316772 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 11:51:10 +0000 Mona 1316772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, bonus points for matching socks :))<br />The plaid skinnies are magical on you and this gives me hope that they will fit me well too. I am also a pear shape like you but more round than eliptical. It was also one of my concerns while ordering them as to what colours would go with them. I love your analysis of how many colours will go with these. <br />The vest looks like a great addition to your wardrobe. such a unique piece.<br />I hope you find the skirt in size 8 online. It is beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2014---part-2#post-1316769 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 11:45:46 +0000 Aquamarine 1316769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those pants are fantastic on you...KEEP! </p> <p>I like the vest but wish it was a tiny bit shorter, but I see I am in the minority here. It almost feels, from the side view, that it is swallowing up your svelte figure (you look fantastic btw....your weight loss is very obvious).</p> <p>I hope you can nab the size 8 skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2014---part-2#post-1316760 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 11:26:23 +0000 Inge 1316760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA: Sveta: I see the skirt in brown-black stripe in a size 8 on the Nordies site right now. I hope you can order it asap!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2014---part-2#post-1316758 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 11:23:18 +0000 Inge 1316758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those plaid jeans are magical, Sveta. They seem to change colour a bit depending on the top you are wearing with them. I love that. Like you said, they go with so many of the colours in your wardrobe. And they look fantastic on you. So I am glad you are keeping them:-) I'd love to see them with taupe or cream tall boots (not saying that you should go shopping for another pair of knee-high boots though;-)</p> <p>The long gilet is excellent, I'm chuffed that we managed to convince you to give it a try. A keeper for sure.</p> <p>I loved the brown with black stripe the best from the get-go too. It looks so rich and luxurious. And hurrah for the longer length on us tall gals. I am so holding thumbs that the size 8 will still pop up. (and I'm still laughing about your matching socks:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2014---part-2#post-1316666 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 03:45:48 +0000 Debbie 1316666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That vest looks amazing on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2014---part-2#post-1316657 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 03:37:15 +0000 annagybe 1316657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The vest is magnificent! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2014---part-2#post-1316656 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 03:37:08 +0000 Eliza 1316656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the skinnies and the long vest looks amazing! I have the Kuts as a complete wildcard (unsure of plaid bottoms and the yellowish camel background), and all the photos here confirm their magical qualities. Angie gets it spot on yet again. Good luck with the right skirt size. You wear it well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2014---part-2#post-1316649 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 03:28:23 +0000 Suz 1316649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad you are keeping those skinnies! They are going to be a fun wild card. When I saw them I immediately thought they would work into my own wardrobe with all my blue and grey and some of my berries&nbsp;-- my only question was which footwear? And I agree with you that they will not be so great with tall boots. But won't they be fun for the fall, and also for the spring when at <b>LONG LAST</b> we can break out the booties and shoes instead of boots? &nbsp;That makes them a very happy item to own, full stop.&nbsp;</p> <p>The skirt is going to be amazing on you, and I can't wait until we see it in action in the brown stripe.&nbsp;</p> <p>As for the vest...<b>YAY!!!! </b>&nbsp;:) :)&nbsp;</p> <p>(Okay, everyone, you have to know I basically ordered Sveta to buy this!! Not that her arm needed too much twisting.... &nbsp;:)&nbsp;</p> <p>So happy to see you got it and you are keeping it. It's going to add such variety to life mid-winter.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2014---part-2#post-1316646 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 03:28:02 +0000 Nadya 1316646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great finds and I admire your pickiness. That is such a Sveta skirt - I hope you find an 8. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2014---part-2#post-1316634 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 03:19:17 +0000 unfrumped 1316634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans are fab. You're right, you can put the cool contrasting colors on top and they look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2014---part-2#post-1316631 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 03:18:18 +0000 Anonymous 1316631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed -great choices. I love those plaid skinnies on everyone who has posted them so far. &nbsp;They DO NOT make you look like a plaid sausage - and I love that term - going to find a way to use it somehow. &nbsp;You have perfect long legs for a print pant - go for it. Love that skirt too - and I see what you mean about the back pulling oddly in the smaller size. &nbsp;Otherwise, the colour and length are perfect - and boy is that skirt luxurious! &nbsp;I love it on Angie in the bl/wh - and only wish I had the nerve to try it. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2014---part-2#post-1316623 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 03:10:09 +0000 Jaime 1316623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You already know I love the skinnies! The vest was made for you - and other tall women. Good luck with getting the skirt in 8 - I think you made excellent choices! </p>
