You are having a great sale! And you make it all look so cool.&nbsp;</p> <p>The jacket is fabulous. It is difficult to judge the differences between the small and medium from here, so I would say do a bit of stretching of your arms, crossing them in front of you. Put on the type of top you'd be likely to wear. And consider the sleeve length -- is one better? And did you try them both done up?&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the big sweater on you as well -- very dramatic. Did you also try it done up? Fun item. In shape it is similar to one I got at the sale last year. I wasn't sure about it at first but it turned out to be a real workhorse for me.&nbsp;</p> <p>The blouse is also really pretty on you. I love that shape of top and this one seems to work for tall women in particular; I think it's the one Stayfit also got, or at least she got a NYDJ blouse.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-kr-blanknyc-moto-caslon-sweater-coat-halogen-tie-blouse#post-1705390 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 01:46:30 +0000 Runs With Scissors 1705390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the BLANKNYC moto -- couldn't score the green, but the black would probably be more versatile anyhow. &nbsp;Which size is better? &nbsp; I'm barefoot in the size M (1-2), and wearing boots with sizes S (3-4). &nbsp; I'm inclined to keep one or the other. &nbsp;Couldn't really layer under the S but in my climate that's not the end of the world.</p> <p>Next: Caslon red sweater coat (5). &nbsp;I think the fit is correct, but this is a different style/silhouette for me, so I want input. &nbsp; I like it but I'm not sure if it's flattering. &nbsp;FWIW, if you are sensitive to scratchy/itchy fabrics, you would not like this! &nbsp;It doesn't bother me at all -- I have merino wool sweaters I wear next to my skin all the time and this is about the same.</p> <p>Next up: &nbsp;Halogen tie blouse (6-7). &nbsp;Angie recommended this for apples which I am not, so I had modest hopes. &nbsp;But I like it! &nbsp;I tried this in both this and the blue flower colorway, both in size S. &nbsp;The blue one was too big but this one fits well. &nbsp;My main question is the length. &nbsp;Too long? &nbsp;What do you think? &nbsp;I could hem it myself, no big deal really. &nbsp;</p> <p>I had a few other duds -- Munro Drew booties (too loose in ankle, and I didn't really love the look on my foot), NYDJ blouse (tight arms but overall pyjama-like ambiance - not what I was going for), and a non-NAS sale blazer that was waaay too short in arms and overall length.</p> <p>I'll put my winners in a separate post. &nbsp;I am still waiting on a few things too. </p>
