You are smart to try on unexpected styles/colors and I'm glad you found some pieces you love. The scarf is beautiful but itchy is NOT a good quality in a scarf! I really like that print skirt as&nbsp;it reminds me of my pattern coat from last year, but if it doesn't fit or you don't love it then you made good decisions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-handbags-sweaters-skirts-scarves#post-1706792 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 05:46:20 +0000 Barbara Diane 1706792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>JAileen</b>, thanks for showing me your scarf and explaining how to make it.<br />It is very beautiful. I would never have guessed that it wasn't extremely challenging. More food for thought.</p> <p><b>Suz</b>, thanks for commenting so often. I think in the very beginning I thought everyone was purchasing a million things and I was the only one who was not. I realized this was not the case, and I am finding most of what I need, and I've been trying on things I never expected to. And I've bought some unexpected items I really love. <br />And I'll have almost a year to figure out how to do NAS next year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-handbags-sweaters-skirts-scarves#post-1706578 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 21:20:52 +0000 Suz 1706578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How frustrating about the scarf in particular! I know you were looking forward to that. Forum member Lisa tried the Missoni poncho and said it was itchy, too. Sounds like a quality control issue -- poor choice of materials.&nbsp;</p> <p>Too bad about the skirts and the other items as well, but I like that you are holding out for things that you know you will wear and love.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-handbags-sweaters-skirts-scarves#post-1706528 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 19:25:05 +0000 JAileen 1706528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's mine. It's all knit, no purl. Very very easy, with two variegated yarns. There is a knit two together, and a knit in front and back in each repeat. Those make the zig zags. Your mom could knit this easily, or she could teach you to knit it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-handbags-sweaters-skirts-scarves#post-1706525 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 19:15:13 +0000 Barbara Diane 1706525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, it's not available anymore. &nbsp;I'll keep looking for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-handbags-sweaters-skirts-scarves#post-1706524 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 19:14:09 +0000 Barbara Diane 1706524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for the advise <b>JAileen</b>. Slow but steady still results in a scarf. I'm sort of waiting to see if it will live on top of a coat (as yet unfound), so the itching won't matter. I am sensitive to almost all wool. My mom is a beginner knitter; she mostly does just knits? pearls? straight across in variegated yarn, so mine would look nothing like this.<br /><b><br />nomadicliz</b>, thanks for the suggestion. I thought it would fit the same, so I didn't try it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-handbags-sweaters-skirts-scarves#post-1706516 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 19:03:41 +0000 nomadicliz 1706516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>if a Midi length skirt works for you, maybe try the Sejour Mini Ottoman Tube skirt?&nbsp;<br />I found it well made and really forgiving of bumps and bulges (disguised my non baby belly pooch really well)&nbsp;<br />was comfortable for me too- no squeezing or pinching.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-handbags-sweaters-skirts-scarves#post-1706506 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 18:50:23 +0000 JAileen 1706506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Missoni scarf is itchy? That's a fail in my book, no matter how pretty it is. And it is pretty. I would never wear an itchy scarf.</p> <p>I started knitting a faux Missoni in July. I'll be knitting it for some time. I only have about five inches knitted so far.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-handbags-sweaters-skirts-scarves#post-1706496 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 18:34:14 +0000 Barbara Diane 1706496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Handbags</b>-As much as I love my expandable black one, I finally decided to return the bilberry <b>longchamp</b>&nbsp;<b>le pilage</b>. I originally picked it up because I'd considered it last year also and because it would go with the Halogen coat I was considering. But I'm not getting the coat, and after 1 1/2 years of wear, my black le pilage still looks new, and the bilberry isn't enough of a color change to justify it. With it's expandability I'd hate to be without one, but I should wait at least another year. And I have a non expandable one also.<br /><b>Sweaters</b>- As much as I liked the idea of it, I'm returning the <b>Vince Camuto</b>. I have trouble with wool, and it is slightly itchy. And I have a black lace overlay top that will work for the same situations. I was tempted to wear it with a tank or cami and leggings and buttoned up like a dress. <br />I'm waiting for the arrival of the Angie's pick <b>Halogen</b> <b>cardigan</b> in two sizes. The black was no longer available. I'm hoping once I see which size works and if it looks good I can track down the black. And I will try this color on with my clothes to see if it is useful.<br /><b>Skirts-&nbsp;</b>The <b>Vince Camuto</b>-the SA said it fit, but I ordered it one size up also. The problem-it is very fitted over my stomach. I can only wear it with a very long top that if I raise my arms would not show my stomach. It fits like a maternity dress that is designed to proudly show off a baby &nbsp;bump. But no baby bump here. Considering holding onto until I find a better option as I am also maybe still losing weight. Love that Nordstrom's return policy. It is still available in both sizes, so I don't feel like I'm keeping someone else from getting it.<br /><b>Melissa McCarthy</b>-Angie's pick. The same problem as the Vince Camuto except it was like wearing a tight girdle. I checked the size chart and I ordered the correct size. But this was way too tight. And I still don't love it/it's just not quite me.<br /><b>M Missoni Scarf</b>- I still LOVE the colors and pattern, still bugged by the wool being a little itchy, still a lot of $ for me. May wait to see what coat and other fall/winter purchases I make, may take to the yarn store to pick similar colors of yarn and ask my mom to knit me a scarf....still don't know, but the colors are fabulous with my hair color.</p> <p> </p>
