I can’t wait to see them in action. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-almost-final-assessments#post-2279110 Sun, 28 Aug 2022 15:41:01 +0000 Janet 2279110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m so late back to this, sorry! Totally missed some replies. </p> <p>MWC, did you end up trying the Vagabond boots? They are a little work to pull on, but I think they may ease up a bit with wear, perhaps. </p> <p>The full size up is roomy. I put insoles in and could probably double up with another set. They definitely make my feet look bigger, but that’s not necessarily a deal-breaker, since my feet are not proportionally large. I set them aside for the time being, to reevaluate a little closer to fall. So no verdict yet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-almost-final-assessments#post-2279013 Sat, 27 Aug 2022 14:43:22 +0000 Anonymous 2279013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rereading, I am thinking, looking at my donation pile, that you should not keep any footwear that runs short on you. &nbsp;In my donations is a favorite pair of pewter booties but they now&nbsp;feel too short. If I find them in the next larger size,I will happily buy them. &nbsp;Don't forget the power of thick socks to help boots to fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-almost-final-assessments#post-2275782 Fri, 05 Aug 2022 11:55:12 +0000 MidwestrnChic 2275782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet I am so intrigued by the Vagabond boots.&nbsp; I have been looking for something just like these.&nbsp; Do you find them difficult to put on?&nbsp; I may need to pull the trigger on these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-almost-final-assessments#post-2275761 Fri, 05 Aug 2022 05:22:09 +0000 Anonymous 2275761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Success!

Or maybe just being able to be a little more loose is what makes clothes so much fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-almost-final-assessments#post-2275605 Thu, 04 Aug 2022 12:03:38 +0000 Janet 2275605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ZoeyGirl! I am trying to be more mindful and thoughtful about purchases these days — I can be so impulse-driven in my shopping, which is completely opposite of how deliberative and analytical I am with everything else in my life! LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-almost-final-assessments#post-2275603 Thu, 04 Aug 2022 11:59:21 +0000 ZoeyGirl 2275603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, I always benefit from reading your reasoning to keep an item or not. Great haul! I'm happy for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-almost-final-assessments#post-2275599 Thu, 04 Aug 2022 11:47:22 +0000 Janet 2275599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found some good keepers, a few of which have already been worn and enjoyed! </p> <p>1. Zella purple top - great easy piece that goes for a hike (got to remember sunscreen on the back though!) and then a casual dinner without looking overly gearish. Wore in Maine for a hiking/exploring day. </p> <p>2. Vero Moda floral skirt — a bit “happier” print that is typically my preference, but styling it with a moody black or graphic tee supporting act renders it less sweet, making it work for me. Cool and breezy enough for my summer climate but could work in cooler weather with jackets and boots as well. Already worn once.</p> <p>3. Herschel floral backpack. I haven’t used it yet but it’s a really fun piece for a very affordable price, so I succumbed. I adore the print — I actually have a windbreaker in the same print which I got at TJMaxx months ago and has achieved workhorse status. </p> <p>4. Mixed media trench. This one still has tags on, waiting in the coat closet for deep fall — the final assessment will be made then, but it’s not like any of my other coats and I’m eager to wear it, so I’m pretty confident it’s a keeper.</p> <p>5. The famous Z&amp;V printed blouse. I took this with me to Maine as a just-in-case dressier item, and actually had two wearing opportunities. One evening one of my fellow workshop participants hosted our little group at her beautiful home for a pizza party dinner, and I wore this with boyfriend jeans, a white tank underneath, and white sandals. I wore it again for the final night dinner of all the students and workshop faculty (four other groups were on campus at the same time), so this top has already earned a couple of wears!</p> <p>As usually happens, I also ended up with a couple of non-NAS items. One has already been worn and enjoyed— a gauze shirt from Rails that is great for cool coverage (something I’m increasingly appreciating if I can tolerate a long sleeve in the heat). </p> <p>And these boots from Vagabond are up for assessment. I love the ankle fit and stompy vibe for when the cooler weather arrives, particularly to wear with skirts, but they were a bit short in my usual size 8 and only come in full sizes. The 9s need to be tried on with insoles to see if I can make them work. </p>
