LOL (Nubbly is my new favorite word.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-is-way-better-in-person#post-1695461 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 03:08:36 +0000 Anonymous 1695461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Colette, I've been there with that Mackage jacket: it's the nice, thick, nubbly, leather that gets me. (Psst...I think it looks really expensive! :))<br />But I have a black leather jacket and so far I've managed to leave it behind. But it's been hard. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-is-way-better-in-person#post-1695454 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 02:55:20 +0000 Colette 1695454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BrieN, I think the mirror is playing tricks but, that is so nice of you to say that. Thank you! I'm having serious thoughts about purchasing the Mackage leather. I'm obsessing about it. I do not need another black leather jacket. I'm going to try it on again this weekend and maybe get it off my mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-is-way-better-in-person#post-1695451 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 02:39:23 +0000 BrieN 1695451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok. You in those jackets makes me want to purchase them MUCH more than when I saw them on the model. &nbsp;I'll take one of each </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-is-way-better-in-person#post-1695435 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 02:19:01 +0000 Colette 1695435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AM, I'm feeling the same way about the orange coat. It could be my wild-wild card purchase. Let me know what you think of it and if you get it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-is-way-better-in-person#post-1695387 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 00:47:45 +0000 AM 1695387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That orange coat makes me want to stray into color. But it would look fab with black. Really tempted. I'm headed to my store tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-is-way-better-in-person#post-1695346 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 23:31:17 +0000 Colette 1695346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vildy, I was just watching that movie last week or so. I just love the wardrobe! I still stop and rewind even though I've seen it dozens of times. That color looks right on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-is-way-better-in-person#post-1695335 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 23:25:43 +0000 Vildy 1695335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That orange coat. Looks like Hepburn's casentino cloth coat. <br /><a href="http://nomanwalksalone.tumblr.com/post/65625114154/casentino-wool-by-david-isle-today-many-fabrics" rel="nofollow">http://nomanwalksalone.tumblr......ny-fabrics</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-is-way-better-in-person#post-1695282 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 21:37:40 +0000 Thistle 1695282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such pretty choices! I love those Ted Baker shirts. They're not really my style, but oh so pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-is-way-better-in-person#post-1695256 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 21:03:32 +0000 Colette 1695256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Muffin, the Vince suede was squished in my store too. It was so sad looking on the hanger but it's buttery soft and gorgeous. I gave it a good shake before I tried it on and that seemed to help a bit. It did not come home with me though. The leopard print is very nice on the Cole Haans, so glad you got them as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-is-way-better-in-person#post-1694965 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 14:23:06 +0000 Colette 1694965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, thank you! I can't wait to see your haul!</p> <p>Author Linda, the Aquatalia boots are really gorgeous. Absolutely way better in person. I hope they work for you. I am debating about them because I have my eye on a different pair of grey booties but these make so much more sense for my climate and lifestyle. Waterproof is just so liberating! And the pink TB tops are really pretty. If you like a feminine pink and florals you should try them. I'm not good with matching hair/skin colors with clothing so I'm no help in that regard. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-is-way-better-in-person#post-1694914 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 13:45:44 +0000 Author Linda 1694914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Colette, everything you've picked is lovely and those jackets look smashing on you. And the coat!&nbsp;</p> <p>I appreciate your opinion on the Aquatalia boots. The ones I ordered will be here Tuesday and now more than ever I hope they fit. Also, interesting about the Ted Baker floral looking more washed out on the site. That washed out factor is why I passed (I have silver hair and washed out is a look I can no longer carry off). Just goes to show nothing beats seeing an item in person.</p> <p>Thanks for doing some surveillance for us! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-is-way-better-in-person#post-1694913 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 13:45:14 +0000 Angie 1694913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My feelings exactly, Colette. As always, my clients are creaming it at the sale, and I loved what I got to.&nbsp;</p> <p>You look AMAZING. Sooo glad you got the TT coat!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-is-way-better-in-person#post-1694894 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 13:31:51 +0000 Muffin 1694894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you bought the TT coat! The Vince and the Mackage are amazing on you too. The Vince one in my store was sort just squished in the racks and didn't look like much on the hanger (&amp; sadly suede and rain just don't work). I bought the Cole Haan flats and love them- I found the leopard print really nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-is-way-better-in-person#post-1694830 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 12:10:06 +0000 Colette 1694830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joyce, I did get the TT coat. I also picked up the Cole Haan flats (not sure about them) and Frame Jeans. I have more decisions to make so I'm not done yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-is-way-better-in-person#post-1694828 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 12:07:04 +0000 Colette 1694828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianna, I didn't even see the Pendleton coat. I did try to find it, but there were so many people!</p> <p>Sterling, the Ted Baker tee did not seem sheer. I did not try it on but I held it up. The sweater version is cool because the sleeves are like a crochet mesh, if that makes sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-is-way-better-in-person#post-1694811 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 11:46:48 +0000 Anonymous 1694811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Colette.&nbsp; I do love florals.&nbsp; Did you happen to notice if the Ted Baker tee shirt was at all sheer?&nbsp; Thank you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-is-way-better-in-person#post-1694809 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 11:43:56 +0000 marianna 1694809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Colette, thanks. I used to work at the OO store so I know their selection can be hit or miss. Usually their sale is pretty good though. I'm not too far, 20 mins without traffic,&nbsp;but I dislike going there now because I know so many people and it's not relaxing for me to shop and make small talk. Still thinking about&nbsp;maybe sneaking out today and seeing what they have.</p> <p>Did you see the plaid Pendleton coat by chance? I want to try that on but they don't have my size in the store so I'd have to order it anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-is-way-better-in-person#post-1694808 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 11:42:37 +0000 Joyce B 1694808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are all nice! The TT looks fab on you. Did you get it? Did you get some of the other things as well? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-is-way-better-in-person#post-1694803 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 11:36:52 +0000 Colette 1694803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianna, I was at OO. This is my first pre-sale so I'm not sure how their selection compares to past years. But there were things on my list not in store and sizes already gone. Sometimes I go to Oakbrook but it's a little further and the traffic is a nightmare. Even going to OO I caught the tail end of rush hour on my way last night. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-is-way-better-in-person#post-1694802 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 11:30:41 +0000 Colette 1694802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, the Mackage leather is definitely an outdoor weight, but it's divine! Thick but soft, not stiff at all and I didn't want to take it off. The Bernardo coat I tried on in small and small petite and liked the petite better. There were no XS available to try. The color is fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-is-way-better-in-person#post-1694801 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 11:26:26 +0000 Traci 1694801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing both the in store pictures and the finds. &nbsp;It's fascinating to see the differences side by side like that. &nbsp;It all looks so much nicer on you! &nbsp;I wouldn't even think that leather was the same jacket.</p> <p>This is the first year &nbsp;I may make it into the store for part of the sale, but I went ahead and made my first order online last night because my store is small and most of the petites I was ordering I couldn't get in the store anyway. &nbsp;There's always next year! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-is-way-better-in-person#post-1694800 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 11:24:20 +0000 marianna 1694800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great post, thank you! I love both Ted Baker pieces and everything you tried looks amazing on you. I know you've mentioned you're in IL... which Nordies did you go to? I'm closest to OO and was wondering how their selection might be this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-is-way-better-in-person#post-1694798 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 11:20:46 +0000 Suz 1694798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Colette -- these look great. The Mackage jacket is gorgeous on you. I was tempted by it but it looks quite stiff and heavy -- very much an outdoor jacket. Is that the case?&nbsp;</p> <p>The Trina Trunk looks amazing on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>Glad to hear about the booties, too. Those are on my list.&nbsp;</p> <p>What is the fit of the Bernardo coat like?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-is-way-better-in-person#post-1694793 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 11:05:27 +0000 Beth 1694793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the input; it's so helpful. </p> <p>That TT coat is absolutely gorgeous on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-is-way-better-in-person#post-1694707 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 04:24:54 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1694707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those jackets and coat look fantastic on you! Thanks for your thoughts on this list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-is-way-better-in-person#post-1694705 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 04:21:10 +0000 Colette 1694705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I canceled my evening plans, left the dinner dishes, and rushed to Nordstrom to try on the Trina Turk Coat. I planned on getting to the sale this weekend with my Mom but I just could not wait since I was seeing things sell out all day.</p> <p>Oh my, there are so many nice things. After I tried on the TT coat I was so distracted I basically ditched my carefully thought out list and was trying all kinds of things on. Here are a few of the goodies I spied:</p> <p>-The Mackage leather is AMAZING as is the Vince suede. I do not need a leather jacket but I cannot help but try them on. The Truth &amp; Pride leather is also very nice if you are looking for a classic moto.<br />-The Bernardo long coat in burnt orange is fun and would be a different silhouette for me. The color got my attention.<br />-If you love floral and pink, the Ted Baker floral sweater and t-shirt are very pretty. The color seems washed out on the website.<br />-If you like graphic and blues the Halogen sweater is cool.<br />-Halogen checked vest, I don't know why but I really like this.<br />-The gray Aquatalia booties are fab and look much better in person.<br />-The PG Jojo loafers were sold out in store and they were on my list.<br />-The Cole Haan loafers fit well.</p> <p>Now back to my list. </p>
