As long as knitwear isn't itchy I like it, but had not thought to look. I am open to any and all suggestions, and will get to looking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-failsuggestions#post-1314884 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 00:42:24 +0000 Angie 1314884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about drapey knitwear instead of knitted tops?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-failsuggestions#post-1314782 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 22:51:31 +0000 carter 1314782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry you haven't had great succes yet with NAS. More than half of what I bought is going back as well. But, I do think congratulations are in order for being Picky! I've never regretted waiting for the "right" item, but I regret so many things that I have settled for. Send the boots back if they're not exactly what you want. Booties are just starting to show up. There will be options that fit better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-failsuggestions#post-1314777 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 22:44:10 +0000 claire 1314777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These might be more casual than what you're looking for, but I picked up a pair of Athleta's Aspire pant last weekend (<a href="http://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=46800&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=983350012" rel="nofollow">http://athleta.gap.com/browse/.....=983350012</a>), it's like a long version of the Prima Capri, and I've worn them every day since. I have large calves, and the calves are generous, and the ruching is adjustable. I sized down two sizes, so they are quite generous overall. The fabric is lovely, it's been hot here and they're breathable, a little stretchy and quick dry. They'll be perfect for travel. I'll probably pick up another pair next time we're in the States.</p> <p>ETA: just looked at them online again and the Athleta pic is a little deceiving. When the ruching is let down, they are full length on me, no scrunch but definitely full length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-failsuggestions#post-1314745 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 22:01:16 +0000 Echo 1314745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, most of the NAS has been a bust for me so far. : ( I have been very excited to receive the items I ordered, and then disappointed in short order when I tried them on. They haven't even been worth posting K/Rs because they have just been BAD.</p> <p>I was very excited about the EF asymmetric hem top, but the sleeves are snug, and they make me appear much rounder through the arms and shoulders than I'd like to emphasize. While the other EF top I have is drapey and wonderful, the fabric content of the one for fall has much more stretch and fits like a regular polyester jersey top.</p> <p>I was looking for another pair of slouchy track type pants for fall, and the Halogen zip detail pant seemed just the thing. But these pants are a VERY poor fit for athletic legs. They are large in the waist, but small in the calf area. Bending at the knee makes them uncomfortable, and there isn't any give in the fabric. I love the style, but the fit won't work for me.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am still waiting on the Vince Camuto lace inset dress. I loved the lace sheath dress and skirt others have ordered, but I definitely look better in a dress with a little more fabric over the hips. I remain hopeful that SOMETHING will work!</p> <p>And I think I will keep the Topshop boots. The size up is almost certainly big, but I am also not sure how a boot like this is supposed to fit. They are easy to slip on and off, and my toes don't hit the end like my left foot did in the size down. I'd almost like to order another pair in the size down because I think the first pair was just plain wonky, but I feel "difficult". Maybe I'll just pop insoles in the pair I have and call it a day.</p> <p>I SO wish we had a Nordstrom for me to shop in, but we aren't scheduled to have one until fall/winter of this year (I think?). Even then, it will be over an hour away. But it would sure cut down on shipping if I could try things on in person!</p> <p>Any suggestions on track pants for athletic legs or drapey/asymmetric tops?&nbsp;</p>
