I had the same thought as Angie about the trench size. Glad you are trying the next up to compare. <br /></div><div>I like the blazer sleeves rolled, especially with the jeans, for a casual look. <br /></div><div>Yes, Kut Catherine boyfriend jeans have been very popular among YLFers. I have had them in both white and blue. My favorite boyfriend jeans now have a little higher rise; I like the Citizens of Humanity Emerson and the AG Ex-Boyfriend. <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-final-picks-1#post-2051010 Tue, 06 Aug 2019 17:01:25 +0000 kellygirl 2051010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Impeccable selections!

So double check fit and size down if there’s any extra room. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-final-picks-1#post-2050546 Sun, 04 Aug 2019 17:09:13 +0000 notsaf 2050546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed! The trench is has a blazer underneath in the photo but I do think it could be a smidge looser at the armpit (maybe just a matter of tugging the sleeve down properly, but I'll double-check!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-final-picks-1#post-2050541 Sun, 04 Aug 2019 16:53:30 +0000 Angie 2050541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's my job!</p> <p>I am always on the wearer's side, <b>notsaf </b>:) - so I'm glad the bag went back. YOU have to feel fab wearing it - not me.&nbsp;</p> <p>Glad you're going up a size in the trench. Looks snug on the arms and bust, and you'll l want to layer.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-final-picks-1#post-2050539 Sun, 04 Aug 2019 16:46:31 +0000 notsaf 2050539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone, for your comments! It looks like I’m in good company with blazer cuffs and popped collars.</p> <p><b>Bj1111</b> Can’t ironic *be* cool?&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Angie</b> You’re so observant! I took the Kurt Geiger bag with me to the shops to see how it would pair with new-for-fall pieces. It looks fab, but ultimately too dressy for my environment. Still on the lookout for something of a similar size with some personality… Ordering a size up in the trench to make sure I’ve got the right fit: thanks!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-final-picks-1#post-2050529 Sun, 04 Aug 2019 15:37:04 +0000 Angie 2050529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The KUT Catherine’s are a YLF fave. Classic goodie that they offer every season. I’ve had several pairs in white in the past. They bag out though so make sure they aren’t too loose. </p> <p>Great trench! Is it the right size? Looks a little snug. </p> <p>Sorry to see the bag go...which I thought I spotted in the teddy coat dressing room? I was happy you were keeping it! But aren’t....</p> <p>Nice silver oxfords score. And the turn back cuff on the blazer is fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-final-picks-1#post-2050522 Sun, 04 Aug 2019 15:18:03 +0000 kkards 2050522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FAB all around....i love a rolled cuff, on jeans, on a blazer...and that&nbsp;trench is fab....and silver oxfords are perfect...make any outfit look finished and complete </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-final-picks-1#post-2050499 Sun, 04 Aug 2019 13:59:46 +0000 Anonymous 2050499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, in the 2 minutes since writing last, I ordered the oxfords from Bloomingdales (sorry Angie) for quite a bit less than the price offered by Nordstrom . 30% off plus an extra %20.&nbsp; Can't wait to get them!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-final-picks-1#post-2050497 Sun, 04 Aug 2019 13:54:24 +0000 Roxanna 2050497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well. You look absolutely terrific. The jeans look like they were made for you, I'm so glad to have inspired you and now I want the silver brogues too </p> <p>I love the CM trench on you; I am also on my second CM trench and love them.

Love the rolled up sleeves and those pumps are gorgeous. Now I want to order them for myself! </p> <p>My closet is filled with Kut from the Kloth jeans and they wear extremely well.

I agree with Suz that the turned up sleeve works well for anything not business formal. I have several blazers where I roll the sleeve. It’s a good way to make a jacket feel a little less severe. I especially like it here with the silver shoes and otherwise all black! </p> <p>Those Aquatalias look very elegant on you and the trench is lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-final-picks-1#post-2050448 Sun, 04 Aug 2019 04:05:39 +0000 Anonymous 2050448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Kut jeans look wonderful on you. I like the rolled blazer cuffs, especially with the jeans. I love love love both pairs of shoes and am tempted to try the silver brogues. The trench looks great on you and the buttons on the side are a fun detail </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-final-picks-1#post-2050413 Sun, 04 Aug 2019 02:17:21 +0000 notsaf 2050413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz: thank you! We are peas in a preppy pod! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-final-picks-1#post-2050411 Sun, 04 Aug 2019 02:16:03 +0000 notsaf 2050411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura: glad I'm not alone (on liking the jeans or the turned-up blazer)!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-final-picks-1#post-2050409 Sun, 04 Aug 2019 02:14:13 +0000 Suz 2050409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans look terrific. Kut is a fantastic brand; they're very well priced for what you are getting. I've enjoyed every pair of their jeans I've ever owned. They look terrific with the blazer!&nbsp;</p> <p>Love the oxfords on you, too! They're really fun looking. Meanwhile, the pumps look elegant (and I know they are practical). The coat looks lovely also. CM makes some really great coats.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am a cuff roller and collar popper extraordinaire so my comments will be utterly biased.&nbsp;</p> <p>I wouldn't wear my sleeves this way in a conservative business meeting. or to meet the Queen. But I'd wear them this way for just about anything else.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-final-picks-1#post-2050407 Sun, 04 Aug 2019 02:12:16 +0000 Laura J 2050407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered SO many jeans during this sale and those are the KUT ones that you got are the only ones I kept. I love both pairs of shoes and like the turned up sleeves on the blazer.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-final-picks-1#post-2050402 Sun, 04 Aug 2019 02:02:04 +0000 notsaf 2050402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your previous input this NAS season: I decided to let both the windowpane blazer ANS leopard print bag I ordered earlier in the month go because of (respectively) fit issues and wearability. They're both great pieces, so I hope others will get pleasure and use from them!</p> <p>In the meantime, I've been digging deep on my needs/wants for fall, and ended up with a few other keepers from the sale and a couple of other ancillary pieces.</p> <p>Forgive the non-styled mirror shots in these photos!</p> <p>1 + 2: <b>KUT from the Kloth boyfriend jeans</b> and <b>Botkier Calista Oxford:</b>&nbsp;I was intrigued by the cuffed straight-leg look of the EF jeans you've all been trying, but knew the fit and fabric would be tough for me. I don't have any experience with the KUT brand and am not certain how these will hold up, but the fit is great out of the box and I like the look with a blazer.&nbsp;Enter these interesting silver brogues (partially inspired by the greenish ones Roxanna has been wearing this summer -- very comfortable in the larger of my two go-to sizes), and I think I have a winning work-day look.</p> <p>3: <b>Aquatalia Pasha pumps&nbsp;</b>and <b>Club Monaco trench</b><b>:&nbsp;</b>I was on the hunt for a new trench to replace my old Club Monaco one, and after some trial and error found this one in the late-season sale (not at Nordstrom). Shown here with the last of my NAS buys: super useful (and work-appropriate) waterproof Aquatalia pumps (in which I took my regular size).</p> <p>Full disclosure: though I first spotted the Botkier Oxfords at Nordstrom, I ended up purchasing them for less through Bloomingdales.</p> <p>While we're here, a question: what do we think of the turned-up sleeve on a black blazer? Too stark? Too sloppy? Just right? (This and a penchant for popped collars are about the only two of my sartorial tics that my husband and I regularly disagree about!) </p>
