I just scooped mine up as well.</p> <p>I really like the coat that you chose, and well done in finding a pair of trousers that you like! (I had no luck in pants, as usual, but that was to be expected.) Are you planning to get the pants hemmed a little, or will you wear them with taller shoes?</p> <p>I can't wait to see your skirts that you ordered. I'm sorry that you were disappointed in the available items - particularly footwear - but it actually sounds like you came home with a pretty good haul! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-not-for-me#post-381347 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 15:05:18 +0000 Aparna 381347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Renee - I loved the color too and although the fabric is not too soft, it does not feel too itchy.<br /> Thx for the cheering up Lisa, I need it :)<br /> Angie - the coat length is fine ( I bought it in the petite section). Glad it is a keeper...I do like the green color but was not too sure about the zippers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-not-for-me#post-381332 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 14:32:33 +0000 Angie 381332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The coat looks great, Aparna! Fabulous fit! Yay! You can also add a nice scarf to the look. </p> <p>I like a longer sleeve on a coat, so I approve. Does it feel too long on you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-not-for-me#post-381286 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 12:36:05 +0000 Lisa 381286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the KC coat, I defer the sleeve length to others but the cut of the torso and the color are lovely on you. The magenta jacket is a gorgeous color on you. Don't worry, Angie's picks are sure to light up the NAS shopping fires again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-not-for-me#post-381211 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 05:44:59 +0000 Reneeb 381211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The magenta Halogen jacket looks great on you love the color. Is it itchy? Glad to hear the Taylor pants fit well I have been eyeing them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-not-for-me#post-381208 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 05:37:43 +0000 Aparna 381208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes Angie - I shop petites for pants/jackets/coats but regular for tops/skirts. Should I hang on to the coat or do I return it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-not-for-me#post-381206 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 05:35:18 +0000 Angie 381206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't worry! We'll get you sorted! Remind me, Aparna - do you usually shop petites? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-not-for-me#post-381183 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 04:32:35 +0000 Aparna 381183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was so excited about NAS but unfortunately was underwhelmed. I was hoping to get some 'killer' pieces but I ended getting my basics - pants for work, bras ( thank you Kari for the Chantelle RIva recommendation - the bras were superb)<br /> Here's what I got.</p> <p>Do you think I can do better?</p> <p>#1 &amp; #2 - Kenneth Cole wool coat - I am building my fall/winter wardrobe, and I was looking for a non black winter coat - The sleeves are long but I tried sizing down but it was uncomfortable, so had to go for the longer size.</p> <p>#3 - Halogen jacket which I picked in the magenta as well as grey as it is a great work wardrobe classic. I am not too thrilled about the long sleeves, but I just have to accept that my arms are short<br /> Also, in the picture are the halogen "Taylor Fit" pants. These are the nicest fitting pants I've found in this price range, so I picked up the grey and the brown</p> <p>I have ordered the Tina Turk Aline skirt in black as they did not have my size in the store. It is pricey so unless the fit does me wonders, I might return. I am also waiting on the Halogen skirt in grey - will post pics soon<br /> The shoe section was disappointing as I wear a 6 W and need wide calf boots as well. As some of you have already pointed out, NAS is not good for the wide legged .</p> <p>I saw the Guess leather jacket in store and it was gorgeous but I don't think I am a 'leather' kind of gal.<br /> The Pleonie tops looked nice but they fit me badly at the hip ( too tight).<br /> I also tried the Classiques Entier sweater top and for $98 I felt the green and the blue colors were too faded.<br /> Overall, I am pretty disappointed except for the bras ( thank you Kari !) I will wait for Angie's picks now. </p>
