I've decided to get one more year out of my tall black Aquatalias, but I'll give those Ugg waterproof boots a try. Thanks for trying them all and hooray for having a foot stunt double! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass-1#post-1824902 Sun, 16 Jul 2017 14:46:14 +0000 Angie 1824902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good grief. I know the NAS stock better than they do. THANKS for believing me, sweet Laura. I had the XSP ON MY BODY, so I knew it existed. Just for you.&nbsp;</p> <p>Laura, do your riding boots need a<b> pointy toe</b> update? I got these. The shorties are also super cute. Fit our unique feet. (Aren't you lucky you are my EXACT foot twin!).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass-1#post-1824894 Sun, 16 Jul 2017 13:14:13 +0000 Thistle 1824894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do the same thing!&nbsp;</p> <p>It's everything I would've taken into the changing room with me. Sadly, I have even more returns as I can't touch and feel and see real colors first.</p> <p>I figure as long as I return it quickly, they'll still sell it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass-1#post-1824614 Sat, 15 Jul 2017 16:32:44 +0000 Anonymous 1824614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, there is no way I could criticize you for your theory as I subscribe to much the same thing. &nbsp;Good luck on your order(s). &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass-1#post-1824612 Sat, 15 Jul 2017 16:29:22 +0000 Laura 1824612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right?!? I kept telling anyone I spoke with, "my friend who saw the coat is a fashion stylist and if this info came from anyone else I might question it, but not her!" Even today, the coat is not online in a petite. Thank goodness for Eagle Eye Angie!&nbsp;</p> <p>I could use one more pair of weatherproof boots (this is Minnesota, after all). Is there a pair you like that's suited to our feet? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass-1#post-1824551 Sat, 15 Jul 2017 13:31:33 +0000 Angie 1824551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*HAPPY DANCE*</p> <p>Can you believe Nordies slipped up not knowing the coat comes in a &nbsp;petite??? *eyes rolling*</p> <p>Shoes, Laura. Are you okay on comfy weatherproof boots?&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass-1#post-1824259 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 18:10:48 +0000 fathenry 1824259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Order lots return quickly, so there's a name for that! Love both the scarf and the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass-1#post-1824252 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 17:55:57 +0000 Laura G 1824252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Order Lots Return Quickly--I love it! I even paid for expedited shipping so that very large balance won't sit on my card so long. I know for a fact that I'll keep a maximum of half my items, because I have to order everything in (at least) two sizes. First b/c of the general insanity of sizing these days and second because sometimes the petite is better and sometimes it isn't. </p> <p>(I ordered a skirt from Ann Taylor in regular and petite and they were *exactly* the same length!?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass-1#post-1824240 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 17:34:19 +0000 Laura 1824240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perhaps they got feedback on the zipper vs snaps issue. We live in Minnesota, so any coat called "Paul Bunyon" will definitely fit the bill! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass-1#post-1824238 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 17:30:13 +0000 JAileen 1824238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Pendleton coat looks fab. I love how they matched the stripes. I bought the buffalo check one last year, and I kind of wish it had snaps instead of a zipper. Glad you were able to get it in petite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass-1#post-1824235 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 17:26:25 +0000 Laura 1824235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks to Angie's eagle eye and my persistence, I was able to order the Pendleton coat in petite. I called customer service and they said they didn't have it in petite, then I called the flagship and the sales person told me the same. Then someone from POV at flagship called back and said she found it!! Doing a happy dance! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass-1#post-1824181 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 15:24:36 +0000 MidwestrnChic 1824181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Pendleton coat is sublime.&nbsp; Really looking forward to seeing it on you!&nbsp; Love all your choices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass-1#post-1824123 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 14:35:19 +0000 Colette 1824123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the same strategy. I'm trying to limit myself, stay focused and be ruthless and swift in decisions/returns. Love that the Blondo sneakers are waterproof, I need to give those another look. I grabbed that Tshirt too, just for fun and as a warning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass-1#post-1824121 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 14:34:23 +0000 Laura 1824121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Darn our unique feet! Oh well. The Blondos will go back. The Pendleton coat is not available online in petite - calling Nordstrom now to order. Thanks for the info, straight from the Nordstrom mothership! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass-1#post-1824113 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 14:31:12 +0000 Angie 1824113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have to get ready to see a client - will chime in about what you might have missed later.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass-1#post-1824111 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 14:30:36 +0000 Angie 1824111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAH. So many top picks, Laura. WOOOHOOO. See below.&nbsp;</p> <p>Pendleton coat DOES come in petites. Saw it. <b>LOVE </b>it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Pass on the Blondo sneaks. Too wide for our low volume and unique feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass-1#post-1824109 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 14:28:44 +0000 Laura 1824109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA: Forgot to add, I also ordered the striped La Vie Rebecca Taylor sweater, in honor of Inge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass-1#post-1824105 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 14:22:21 +0000 Laura 1824105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Delurked, ha! It seems the tee's sentiment resonates with many of us on many different levels! And apparently for others too, as it's nearly sold out (although undoubtedly they will restock).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass-1#post-1824100 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 14:17:22 +0000 Anonymous 1824100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura - I ordered the tee because I was dreadful in French. Plus, DH insists nobody at his work thinks I ever swear, and he insists that isn't so . It amused me on two levels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass-1#post-1824095 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 14:14:38 +0000 Laura 1824095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth, I was a French major so the tee made me chuckle. At this point it's been so long since I used my French that you'd definitely need to pardon it. I'm envisioning the tee with the butterfly scarf and a navy topper.&nbsp;</p> <p>Team Order Lots, Return Quickly for the win! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass-1#post-1824088 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 14:12:46 +0000 Beth 1824088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is there an "Order Lots, Return Quickly" Team? If so, add me to the list.</p> <p>That dress is really nice and I like the way you plan on wearing it. The tee is too funny and will make a nice layer, and the toppers you've chosen seem like a flexible mix. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass-1#post-1824083 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 14:11:04 +0000 nicoleb 1824083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh i can't wait to see that coat on!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass-1#post-1824080 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 14:10:31 +0000 Laura 1824080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right, Suz - the risk with this process is that you score a lot of winners and the "return lots" turns into "keep lots." That's when you have to get ruthless.</p> <p>The focus this year is getting my husband work clothes (at least, I try to keep reminding myself that he is the focus!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass-1#post-1824074 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 14:07:50 +0000 Suz 1824074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your process, Laura. I tend to do the same. Or sometimes order lots, keep lots!&nbsp;</p> <p>That dress will be gorgeous on you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-first-pass-1#post-1824073 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 14:06:20 +0000 Laura 1824073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi - I go by the theory of "order lots, return quickly" during NAS. Here's what caught my eye for the first pass. I'm hoping to keep 4-5 items total. I also ordered a Vince Camuto navy A-line dress with bell sleeves, and a Gibson fleece top, but can't find them online right now.</p> <p>Excited about the Pendleton coat, although it may not fit, as it's not a petite size. Very happy to find a hoodie (Caslon) offered in petite. That is a rarity! Will keep either the Caslon terry jacket or the Halogen long cardi to go with the Hinge butterfly scarf. The Blondos are a total Hail Mary - this style never fits me, but given that they are waterproof, I decided to give them a whirl. Halogen dress will be cute with leggings and flat boots in the fall!</p> <p>Angie, is there anything I missed that is a must-try? </p>
