I hope the replacement cardigan works out.

I think they look very good under clothes, but they don't have a breathable feel. I would like a fashion cami made out of wicking sports tank material, but have yet to find one. Since Athleta is getting all fashiony lately I'm hoping something will turn up in the next product round. unfrumped on "NAS Hits and Misses" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-hits-and-misses#post-1315656 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 22:40:11 +0000 unfrumped 1315656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Good scores! The draped top can be very versatile. Ditto camel skirt. I tried the sweater and love the magenta color and think the zip pockets are fun, too, but  but the zips fall at a funny place on me and make it look kinda poofy instead of curvy--pooh. I can't remember if I've tried on the skirt IRL, re: the fit, but every time I see it online I want to try it! On the lookout for AT alternatives, too. crutcher on "NAS Hits and Misses" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-hits-and-misses#post-1315648 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 22:25:15 +0000 crutcher 1315648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Loveth the burgundy draped top...You wil definitely take that little number out and about a lot...Good choice...The Caslon sweater is also a winner...I think that one would perk up any bottom that may have seemed boring...smile...You can't go wrong with a seamed pencil skirt...All in all your favorites are really practical and ready to go through your fall and winter...Good selections... ma342 on "NAS Hits and Misses" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-hits-and-misses#post-1315635 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 22:04:28 +0000 ma342 1315635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I mostly lurk, but I've enjoyed reading everyone else's NAS posts so much that I decided to make my own. My order arrived yesterday, and I got a chance to try on and evaluate today. The good: 1) Halogen Draped Neck Top: I got this in burgundy, which I think is now sold out. There's no shaping at the waist, but it looks great tucked. Neckline is not too low for my short, big busted self. Also, it's burgundy! Along with teal, one of my two favorite colors. Bought in my usual size (M). 2) Halogen Zip Pocket Cardigan: My Halogen merino sweater from last year has held up well, and I hope this will, too. It's not too long for me, and the zippers are interesting without being too quirky for work. 3) Halogen Seamed Pencil Skirt: This is the first non-Ann Taylor pencil skirt I've found in years that fits off the rack (almost everything is too tight at the hips and gapes at the waist). I really like that it's lined. Bought in dark camel in my usual size (10 petite). The bad: 4) Shimera Camisoles: First time trying these, and I must be the only person in the world who doesn't like them. The feel of that much nylon that close to my skin was just not good. I thought they ran about two sizes small. 5) Caslon Draped Neck Zipped Cardigan: *Loved* the style of this, both unzipped and partially zipped, and the fabric was so comfortable. But the particular one I received was slightly damaged--the fabric around the left pocket and near the left zipper was sort of shiny, the way clothe can sometimes get if you iron them with too much heat. I'll exchange it and hope the new one is ok. Fits in my usual size M. The good that I decided I didn't need: Halogen Suit Jacket: I bought this in an 8 petite, and should have sized up to a 10--I have wide shoulders, so this is often a problem. This was one of Angie's picks, and she mentioned that it worked well for a curvy hourglass. I completely agree. I thought about getting the 10, but the truth is that I only have the budget for one blazer this season, and black would be a *lot* more versatile. Plus, this felt a little long for me, even in petite. So I'll pass.
