My faves are #1 the color is gorgeous on you and so are the jeans, #6 this just speaks to me, #9 fab way to wear the dress, and your regular #10 look ;-)</p> <p>Somehow you DO look a lot taller than 5'7" - lucky!!</p> <p>I ended up returning my Curio jacket too - I like it, but decided for the $$$ that I wanted something fresher than the moto style. . .and thank your lucky stars for your slim long arms and how beautifully you wear that Hinge vintage leather </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-acquisitions-aka-yikes-i-bought-a-lot#post-386269 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 14:40:26 +0000 Angie 386269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I size up half a size in Me Toos too. </p> <p>I think that you *might* be better off with black zippered skinnies. That way they are less contrasting with your boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-acquisitions-aka-yikes-i-bought-a-lot#post-386198 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 13:16:05 +0000 Janet 386198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianna, I am usually a size 8 in shoes but had to go up to an 81/2 in the Me Toos. Those fit perfectly, even in the heel, and I often have trouble with heels slipping off my foot.</p> <p>Scarlett, I am also thinking the jacket in #5 is too short because I intend to wear it with jeans like this. Angie pointed this out too. #4 I think will work better because I'm thinking of wearing it with a different silhouette on bottom -- higher waisted and straighter, fuller leg, or with a simple dress. </p> <p>I really like jackets on the shorter side, but I have to watch that I don't get them too short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-acquisitions-aka-yikes-i-bought-a-lot#post-386113 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 06:32:37 +0000 rae 386113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the jackets in 4-5 most, and you got some great jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-acquisitions-aka-yikes-i-bought-a-lot#post-386108 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 06:21:44 +0000 rute 386108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love everything! 4 and 5 are so perfect! Great finds! Love also the dress! Fits perfectly on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-acquisitions-aka-yikes-i-bought-a-lot#post-386104 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 06:16:43 +0000 Scarlet 386104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woo, let's see. The jeans in 1 are A+. I also really like the Houndstooth top. It is one of my favorite patterns, though, so biased here. To me both the jackets in 4 and 5 look like they might be a little short. Maybe try again styling them to be sure? 6&amp;7 are way cute. I do prefer those grey pants with the rougher boot because it balances out the proportions. Love the dress/boot look in 9. 10--yes put your new things to work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-acquisitions-aka-yikes-i-bought-a-lot#post-386098 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 05:43:30 +0000 Debbie 386098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love love love those rebel boots didn't try them. May now though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-acquisitions-aka-yikes-i-bought-a-lot#post-386081 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 03:55:33 +0000 marianna 386081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you take your regular size in the Me Toos? I tried them today and couldn't decide if I should size up or stick with my regular size. I bought my regular size but I worry that they are a bit snug. Not sure.</p> <p>You look fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-acquisitions-aka-yikes-i-bought-a-lot#post-386031 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 02:09:20 +0000 Freckles 386031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You totally aced that sale. Wonderful pieces and glorious outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-acquisitions-aka-yikes-i-bought-a-lot#post-385919 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 21:58:24 +0000 MsMaven 385919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do look like a model here. I would have guessed you were at least 5'10"--great looks for you. Love the houndstooth in #2. I didn't notice the ruching until I went back for a second look after I reread your comments. It looks fine to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-acquisitions-aka-yikes-i-bought-a-lot#post-385913 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 21:51:14 +0000 nicoleb 385913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Drooling over those boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-acquisitions-aka-yikes-i-bought-a-lot#post-385909 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 21:49:21 +0000 Queen Mum 385909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wow! you need to be a NAS model. You look fabulous.<br /> The only item I'm not wild about is jacket #5. I like top 7 but not necessarily with those pants.<br /> And that dress and boots combo is just smokin hot!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-acquisitions-aka-yikes-i-bought-a-lot#post-385895 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 21:26:31 +0000 taylor 385895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, wow, you scored some fabulous things...you look great!!!<br /> Funny how quickly those items multiply when you get them home:) Did I really buy all this!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-acquisitions-aka-yikes-i-bought-a-lot#post-385855 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 20:15:21 +0000 Janet 385855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kyle, I'm only 5'7" but all my height is in my legs. I often have trouble finding jeans long enough. The Kuts are long enough to wear with a low heel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-acquisitions-aka-yikes-i-bought-a-lot#post-385850 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 20:07:10 +0000 Kyle 385850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like everything, and you should be a jeans model. Least fave is number 7. BUT, I LOVE number 6 (does the top have Turquoise in it?) and the dress with boots sent me into orbit. It looks like you are having a lot of fun, and that's wonderful. Are you tall, Janet? I loved some of the Kuts my SA brought, but they were way too short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-acquisitions-aka-yikes-i-bought-a-lot#post-385845 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 19:40:06 +0000 Jjsloane 385845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some great pieces on you. I love the top (and the rest) in 6. The only look I'm not fond of are the shoes/pants combo in 8. the red in #1 looks amazing on you as do the jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-acquisitions-aka-yikes-i-bought-a-lot#post-385839 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 19:25:08 +0000 Janet 385839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wondered about the length of that, Angie -- thank you for the feedback! Going up a size just felt too big -- this one was already plenty roomy in the body. </p> <p>What do you think of the footwear choices with the gray zippered skinny crops? They're such an unfamiliar silhouette to me, I welcome advice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-acquisitions-aka-yikes-i-bought-a-lot#post-385834 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 19:21:49 +0000 Angie 385834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are all 9's and 10's accept for #5. I think it's too short for you, Janet. </p> <p>I LOVED the Rebel boots - but found them uncomfortable (and so did my clients), so they didn't make my top picks list. I am glad that they work for you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-acquisitions-aka-yikes-i-bought-a-lot#post-385830 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 19:11:51 +0000 Janet 385830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are pics of my NAS purchases -- be warned that I haven't really styled things to their best advantage in these pics, just quick try-ons for pictures. I'd love any feedback!</p> <p>1. Nic &amp; Zoe red top<br /> Kut from the Kloth Natalie jeans </p> <p>The top probably would be more likely worn untucked, but I prefer these jeans with a tucked top and belt. The jeans were a surprise -- the SA put them in the fitting room and my initial reaction was not positive, but I tried them on and liked them, despite the whiskering and faded wash! Now I'm glad I have an alternative to all my dark-wash jeans. </p> <p>2. Halogen houndstooth top<br /> Hudson Beth jeans<br /> Luxury Rebel boots</p> <p>OK, these boots really need a skinnier jean, I know. And these jeans need to not be stuffed in a boot. See later photos for that. </p> <p>I loved this top in the store, but not sure in the photo. I have a strange attraction to houndstooth and I love the blue-black combo. The ruching along the sides seems to sit a little low? Maybe the top is too roomy and I need to size down? </p> <p>3. Halogen plaid jacket<br /> Paige Skyline Drive Straight jeans<br /> Me Too gray flannel flats</p> <p>I love these shoes! So comfy, and I love gray flannel for some reason, but toughened up -- I'd probably wear these with jeans and black leather jacket. </p> <p>This is a bad pose but the only photo I snapped of this -- I was getting tired. The jacket looks better IRL. It has a self-belt which I probably won't use. </p> <p>Paige is rapidly becoming my new favorite denim brand. These jeans fit well and feel good! </p> <p>4. Hinge leather jacket (with Hudson Beth jeans from #2 and Me Too shoes from #3)</p> <p>The Hinge jacket I wasn't going to buy! It's so close-fitting, I think I'd probably pair it with a straight-leg trouser jean or higher waisted skirt, or even a simple dress with a bit of A-line to it. </p> <p>These jeans look better here, but I did try folding them under a little to get a sense of whether I'd like to hem them to wear with flats. That's why the hem looks a bit wonky and too short. </p> <p>5. Curio sweater jacket (with Hudson Beth jeans and Me Too shoes)</p> <p>6. J Brand gray skinny zippered crops from Nordstrom Rack<br /> Joie gray patterned silk blouse</p> <p>I'm trying to figure out how to style these pants. I think I like them with these shoes. The blouse is out of my comfort zone -- boxy, a puff on the sleeve, and a tie. It looks AWFUL tied (my chest looks like balloons are stuffed in my shirt), but I quite like it open, so I was thinking I might have the ties cut off. I like the drape and the pattern, what do you think? </p> <p>7. Ella Moss cowl sweater (with pants from 6 and Luxury Rebel boots from 2)</p> <p>I love this sweater's drape, color and texture. What do you think of it with these pants? I'm trying to figure out shoes for these pants. Are these too heavy? Or do they provide some balance so I don't have the dreaded "ice-cream cone" effect? See next photo...</p> <p>8 As above, except with my Fluevog booties instead. Is this getting into ice-cream-cone territory? I don't want to look wide in the hip and thigh! </p> <p>9. Charles David lace-up boots </p> <p>I just threw on the Muse dress I already owned as this is the kind of thing I envision wearing with these boots. I've wanted some tall black boots, and I love the lace-up detail. I wish they fit a little closer in the ankle, but that may be a difficult thing to find.</p> <p>10. WIW yesterday - as casual as it gets! My new Kuts in action.</p> <p>Whew, this is a lot to look through. I'm amazed if you're still with me! </p>
