For the first pass I ordered the Ted Baker sweater, white Stan Smiths and the black TT coat. The coat is eating a huge part of my NAS budget and thus it has to be perfect to keep it.&nbsp; I may still order the jeans and the teal sweater on my second pass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-impressions-and-most-likely-purchases#post-1694204 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 17:39:05 +0000 annagybe 1694204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Super Stars, probably because I have the TopShop collaboration from a few years ago.<br />Some of the scuttle I've read is that the Stan Smiths are a bit played out, however the Super Stars are sportier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-impressions-and-most-likely-purchases#post-1694037 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 15:23:02 +0000 Elle 1694037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all your choices - especially the fun Halogen top.

I looked through all the outfits, and trend items, and a few specific designers. The cuts and colours were disappointing, and I was hoping for plum or winter tones, not burgundy, which was already featured in F/W 15. </p> <p>The jeans and sneakers seem like solid finds, though, and I hope they work out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-impressions-and-most-likely-purchases#post-1693953 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 14:02:09 +0000 Beth Ann 1693953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving the Halogen sweater for you! &nbsp;I've had spotty experiences with Halogen knitwear, unfortunately, so I only try them on sale.</p> <p>As for the sneakers? &nbsp;I think you should choose based on fit and comfort. &nbsp;They have a very similar style vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-impressions-and-most-likely-purchases#post-1693949 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 13:56:11 +0000 Muffin 1693949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you on the booties! I have an appointment today with my shoe guy and have marked a few as possibilities but not much. Stan Smiths look sleeker to my eye- the Superstars just seem kind of puffy for lack of better description. I do like your sweater choices! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-impressions-and-most-likely-purchases#post-1693947 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 13:53:34 +0000 Suz 1693947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice choices, Tanya. I'm just browsing now.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-impressions-and-most-likely-purchases#post-1693945 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 13:51:35 +0000 Author Linda 1693945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All three sweaters are winners. The Ted Baker is so pretty and elegant, yet casual too. I love looking at it. And while the Vince sweater doesn't make much of a statement, it's lovely and I bet the fabric makes the statement for it. I love the Vince sweater I bought last year. I wore it a ton, and know I'll be wearing it just as much this winter.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-impressions-and-most-likely-purchases#post-1693933 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 13:41:21 +0000 Penny 1693933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not much jumped out at me either in the categories in which I typically shop, although it's probably for the best since I'm well-set on the maternity wear I'll need through November. Hoping others have more luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-impressions-and-most-likely-purchases#post-1693916 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 13:25:25 +0000 Tanya 1693916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is great to hear, Angie, thank you so much for chiming in when you must be very busy!&nbsp; Now I just need to figure out the coat situation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-impressions-and-most-likely-purchases#post-1693911 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 13:19:15 +0000 Angie 1693911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ALL these items are top picks, Tanya. Well done.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-impressions-and-most-likely-purchases#post-1693896 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 12:40:53 +0000 Beth 1693896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ehhh. I haven't seen much yet either, but like you Tanya, waiting for Angie's posts will open my eyes to all sorts of possibilities I'd previously discounted.&nbsp;</p> <p>FYI, I did find that some items only popped up depending on how you followed links. For example, when I clicked on "Contemporary" I saw several dresses that I did not see when I clicked on "Dresses". Weird, but I remember that has happened during previous sales. Also, at least last year they continued to add to the sale as it went on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-impressions-and-most-likely-purchases#post-1693888 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 12:29:54 +0000 Tanya 1693888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your input, Marianna, Sterling and UmmLila.&nbsp; I am starting to lean towards the Stan Smiths too.<br />The Ted Baker sweater is growing more and more on me and I will probably end up ordering it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-impressions-and-most-likely-purchases#post-1693872 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 12:07:08 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1693872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colors of the Ted Baker will be very good on you. I like the teal sweater also-- you don't need wool till late in the year in DC anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-impressions-and-most-likely-purchases#post-1693869 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 11:57:03 +0000 Anonymous 1693869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that Ted Baker sweater!!!!! &nbsp;I think the Stan Smiths look sleeker. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-impressions-and-most-likely-purchases#post-1693868 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 11:48:18 +0000 marianna 1693868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My dog woke me up early this morning to go outside, but I don't mind because now I am browsing the NAS bright and early. I haven't seen too much yet. I really like that Ted Baker sweater in your finds. I bought a Ted Baker tee at last year's sale and I love it. As for the Adidas, on first glance I like the Stan Smith's better... the lack of lines looks sleeker to me. But they are very similar. Enjoy shopping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-impressions-and-most-likely-purchases#post-1693859 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 11:22:10 +0000 Tanya 1693859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have browsed through the whole online NAS selection and am so far somewhat dissapointed.&nbsp; Nothing really jumped at me as an absolute must have or perfect fit for my wishlist items.&nbsp; Having said that, I have learned from the past that I need to wait till Angie posts her picks and chimes in since items look very different online from reality and quality can not be accessed.&nbsp; </p> <p>Analyzing some parts of my wish list:</p> <p>1. Booties: the worst disappointment so far.&nbsp; There are plenty of gorgeous booties I like, but nothing that fits my requirements : high shaft with sleek ankle fit, light neutral (cream, bone, taupe, tan, light grey) and heel no higher than 2.5". There are booties in the right color with either the right heel or the right shaft, but not with both.</p> <p>2. White sneakers: am definitely getting an Adidas pair but can't decided between Stan Smiths and Superstars.&nbsp; Which ones do you prefer/think are sleeker?</p> <p>3. Jeans: want a premium mid-to dark wash cropped pair with released hem.&nbsp; Seriously considering these by Joe's.&nbsp; There are two other options from Current&amp;Elliott and Frame but sadly they both have rips/serious distressing which I do not want.</p> <p>4. Knitwear: want 1-2 high quality statement pieces and would love something in teal.&nbsp;&nbsp; For the high quality considering the blush Ted Baker and burgundy cashmere Vince, but not sure about the warmth of the TB - it seems pretty thin and the Vince is gorgeous but there is nothing statement-y about it.&nbsp; Also considering the fun inexpensive Halogen teal sweater, if the quality is OK - it is cotton blend and not wool, unfortunately. </p>
