It seems to have a bit of distressing, which is kind of nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass#post-1695433 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 02:17:31 +0000 Jenn 1695433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b></b><b></b><b></b><b>Brooklyn</b>, the "Tina" is the one I have the highest hopes for, too, because of the color. I suppose, though, that I could always pull an Ines de la Fressange and toss a jacket with a less-distressed finish under my mattress for a few nights. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass#post-1695359 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 23:51:35 +0000 Brooklyn 1695359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, my bad, it looked like the inside collar was suede. Well in that case I like it a lot. I prefer the colour of the la marque to the felix.<br /> Eta I was talking about the "Tina" la marque, I am confused by these unfamiliar brand names! I thought it was the style name. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass#post-1695352 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 23:42:34 +0000 Jenn 1695352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks,&nbsp;<b>Sterling.&nbsp;</b>I agree that sitting back and waiting for a bit isn't a bad thing at all!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Brookyn,&nbsp;</b>I did see that sweater, but I worried about the fiber content. None of my jacket picks are suede. I'm not a fan--I really want that rich whiskey/cognac color and I want something that improves with age. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass#post-1695348 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 23:37:11 +0000 Brooklyn 1695348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On the leather jackets. Like Suz, I am worried about the neckline on the Bernardo jacket. I have one very similar and I hardly wear it at all. But I can see your burgundy one works for you so it would be worth a try. I really like the second one (terri) a lot. I have collected it! I also like the first one you posted. Beautiful colour. But I would worry about the suede (it gets so dirty).<br /> The EF sweaters look good.<br /> Did you see this cardi? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass#post-1695313 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 22:21:02 +0000 Anonymous 1695313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenn -- I also am not a card holder, but I am <u>so enjoying</u> the shopping that others are doing. &nbsp;Like you, not being a card holder gives me time to consider my purchases. &nbsp;I can't begin to tell you how many finds I have been collecting base on other Forum's posts. &nbsp;</p> <p>Your post was especially fun. &nbsp;Thank you so much. &nbsp; &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass#post-1695303 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 22:11:13 +0000 Suz 1695303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right. It seems to fall really well on you -- sort of makes a V in front when it is open. That makes sense. Mine is cut a bit differently through the middle and makes more of an hourglass shape and then the neckline is just kind of "there" if you know what I mean.&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway - -this looks great on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>Agreed that the faux leather doesn't breathe well. I can't wear it. I can do faux leather in a bag, but not a jacket or pants.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass#post-1695292 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 21:44:46 +0000 Jenn 1695292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't tried one with a wired collar before, so that'll be new. I went searching for a WIW with my burgundy jacket and only found one... which is weird because I wear it a lot, but I guess I mostly wear it as outerwear or during the time of year when I'm too busy to take photos. Anyway, I love it and would like it even more if it were real leather. The faux leather doesn't breathe well enough for me to wear unless it's quite cold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass#post-1695281 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 21:37:05 +0000 Amy 1695281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That poet blouse is very pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass#post-1695274 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 21:34:01 +0000 Suz 1695274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's weird, isn't it?&nbsp;</p> <p>They DO keep adding stuff when the regular sale opens, or at least they have in previous years. Every day there is something new.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am not sure about presale, though.&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway...of these...I don't like the neckline of the Bernardo (1) for you. I have a jacket with this neckline and it is okay for those of us with short hair, longish necks, small busts -- but even then, I say "ok" and not "brilliant" because to be honest, it can feel a little fussy even if it looks good. However, if you already have a jacket in this style and love it, then ignore everything I just said, LOL.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think any of the others could be great. Have you ever tried one with a wired collar? I am not sure how that would feel. I think I tried one on at Danier once and quite liked it. But all will depend on fit and exact colouration, I think.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass#post-1695257 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 21:04:50 +0000 Jenn 1695257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aaaand, I found a couple more jacket options. Either they're still adding things, or I was really unobservant before.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Bernardo 'Kerwin'</b> - Not a moto style, but similar to my burgundy faux leather jacket that I love. $220</p> <p><b>LaMarque 'Terri' -&nbsp;</b>Non-assymetrical option and without the wired collar of the other LaMarque. $320</p> <p>All options together:</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass#post-1695035 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 15:42:30 +0000 Jenn 1695035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm honestly not a huge suede fan. You'd think that my wide boho streak would make me lean that way, but meh.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass#post-1695032 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 15:39:21 +0000 Traci 1695032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The second jacket looks softer. Have you considered one of the suede jackets? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass#post-1695023 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 15:30:16 +0000 Colette 1695023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to suggest the EF silk tees, they look so nice in store, I really like the Marc cognac leather, and the kimono style cardigans are fab. Can't wait to see them on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass#post-1695018 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 15:24:05 +0000 Jenn 1695018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More thoughts after looking at others' Finds and Angie's early picks:</p> <p><b>Marc New York leather jacket - <i></i></b><i></i>Less distressed version of my LaMarque pick above. I prefer the more RATE look, but this is another option if sizing/availability doesn't work out. $300</p> <p><b>Eileen Fisher cap sleeve silk tee -&nbsp;</b>I did say I wanted a silk layering piece! Not sure how I missed this earlier, but I like the black and the blue/gray both. $79</p> <p><b>Halogen cashmere kimono cardigan -&nbsp;</b>I think the oatmeal color would be too light for me, but I like both the black and burgundy. I've kind of been envisioning a camel-colored cardigan, though. $99</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass#post-1694977 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 14:31:17 +0000 Angie 1694977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are top picks: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass#post-1694173 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 17:14:40 +0000 Jenn 1694173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks,&nbsp;<b>Lisa.</p> <p></b><b>smittie</b>, I added prices into my original post so you can see (and for my own reference!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass#post-1694152 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 16:59:57 +0000 Lisa 1694152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun picks, I especially like the color of the leather jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass#post-1694114 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 16:28:45 +0000 Anonymous 1694114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great price Jenn!

I am still wavering because of the neckline, but it might be worth a try-on.</p> <p><b>smittie -&nbsp;</b>The one viva posted doesn't come in my size, which is just as well, because it's out of my price comfort zone. It's really weird that you can't see prices! I'm not an NAS cardholder, but I can see them. My leather jacket pick is $298.90 USD, down from $470. Viva's is $632.90, down from $945. I think your picks from my list are actually the things I am most likely to buy!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass#post-1694095 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 16:13:27 +0000 Anonymous 1694095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see the cognac leather jacket as an essential. Did you see the beige suede leather jacket posted by viva? That is another option. I'm afraid I can't see prices!</p> <p>I like the cowl neck, the BP cross blouse, and the long vest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass#post-1694083 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 15:59:01 +0000 Author Linda 1694083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love EF and also have that sweater in my cart as a maybe. Just have to decide if I need another black sweater! I love all your choices, most of all that long black sweater vest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass#post-1694074 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 15:50:35 +0000 Thistle 1694074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the EF sweater especially.

I'm never happy in lighter grays, but there's a certain shade of charcoal that just <i>gets &nbsp;</i>me.</p> <p><b>Suz -&nbsp;</b>The poly probably won't work for me. The fact that it's loose and flowy works in my favor, and I could probably wear it for a few weeks in the fall, but once layering becomes necessary, a topper would press it into my skin and the breathability would become an issue for my sensitive back and neck. :(</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass#post-1694054 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 15:35:52 +0000 Suz 1694054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look fabulous for you, <b>Jenn</b>. </p> <p>I can see the long vest almost filling the role of your summer maxi. It has drama. </p> <p>The blouses are lovely. Will the poly be okay for you? </p> <p>I hope Angie gives some info about the leather jacket. I love the dramatic collar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass#post-1694051 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 15:32:45 +0000 viva 1694051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really nice picks, Jenn. I like that poet blouse in particular. That brick color is gorgeous and I can picture that on you easily! But poly. :(</p> <p>And the EF boatneck is gorgeous - could tempt me, but almost anything charcoal can. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass#post-1694050 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 15:32:30 +0000 AviaMariah 1694050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great picks. &nbsp;I have that EF black sweater on my list also. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass#post-1694038 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 15:23:32 +0000 Jenn 1694038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My list for fall/winter '16 tops includes </p> <ul> <li>a cognac/tan leather jacket</li> <li>a silk shell or tee for layering</li> <li>a slouchy cashmere or merino pullover</li> <li>another low-hip-length cardigan in a neutral color</li> </ul> <p>I haven't searched through the entire sale yet (still need to hit shoes and bags, for sure) and I'm not a cardholder, so I have plenty of time to contemplate, but here's what's caught my eye so far:</p> <p><b>Eileen Fisher merino pullovers</b> - Not sure these necklines are open enough for me, but I especially like the longer charcoal gray slouchy pullover. $179-186</p> <p><b>LaMarque leather jacket</b> - Not familiar with this brand, but I could see this jacket pairing really well with the black in my wardrobe. This might be my big purchase for the season. $299</p> <p><b>Classiques Entier shell -&nbsp;</b>basic viscose/spandex underlayer with a silk overlay, but maybe a little conservative for me. $99</p> <p><b></b>And some wild cards not really on my list:<br /><b><br />Halogen long knit vest</b> - I loved my duster sweater last winter, so maybe this might be fun for autumn? $45<br /><b><br />Vince Camuto sleeveless cowl -&nbsp;</b>I had one of these that worked for me once, and I keep trying to recreate the magic. No luck so far. $39<br /><b><br />BP Cross-front blouse</b> - I just really, really like this, and it's inexpensive, so why not? $32<br /><b><br />Ro &amp; De floral blouse&nbsp;</b>- This is 100% polyester, so it almost certainly won't make it into my closet, but I just love that print. Maybe someone else will too? $50</p> </p>
