Not sure if I'm keeping them, but they are quite comfortable.</p> <p>Let us know how they work out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-order-first-go-around#post-1824736 Sat, 15 Jul 2017 23:22:48 +0000 Laura G 1824736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for the Rebecca Taylor peplum jacket! I hope it fits you perfectly and you'll wear it at least once for me (I don't wear black, but love the cut and the soft look of it). Love that cuff too.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-order-first-go-around#post-1824658 Sat, 15 Jul 2017 17:45:32 +0000 Anonymous 1824658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahem - I may have placed more than one order, but my big order with 8 things (5 pair of black pants to decide between!) is estimated to come Friday in ONE box. Yay for one box. Poor N. Rack will see me with excess goodies to return by Saturday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-order-first-go-around#post-1824133 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 14:40:19 +0000 Angie 1824133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PERFECT reasoning.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-order-first-go-around#post-1824126 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 14:37:16 +0000 Beth 1824126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to know Angie, thanks! I cannot say no to a peplum. I think it's the 80s in me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-order-first-go-around#post-1824124 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 14:35:25 +0000 Angie 1824124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ALL very good - and mostly top picks. See below, Beth. NICE.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;The jacket is SUBLIME. Dramatic peplum at the back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-order-first-go-around#post-1824096 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 14:15:53 +0000 Beth 1824096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DL, YES!!! I've tried explaining the way Nordstrom sometimes boxes their orders and he just shakes his head and grins at me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-order-first-go-around#post-1824092 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 14:14:13 +0000 Anonymous 1824092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth - poor DH doesn't understand me ordering 6 black pants to find one. The worst is when you've placed one order and they come in 8 packages. Makes it look worse! Loft seems to do that a lot too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-order-first-go-around#post-1824087 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 14:12:43 +0000 JAileen 1824087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the plka dot blouse. I hope everything works for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-order-first-go-around#post-1824078 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 14:09:33 +0000 Beth 1824078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the support re. my default color palette! I definitely need to up the ante with some color in my accessories. Good point, DL. :)</p> <p>I'll updates when orders start rolling in (am I the only one whose DH starts to give me the side eye at the pile of boxes UPS leaves nearly daily every July?) and give some thoughts on fit and quality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-order-first-go-around#post-1824053 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 13:52:26 +0000 Susie 1824053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm smiling at your choices because my shopping cart usually contains more black than anything else. I love your choices....I seriously considered that jacket but chose a navy and white instead. And I don't even like stripes yet that sweater called my name! I was afraid it might be a too warm with the wool for me. I was looking for a non black bag but didn't see 'the one.'&nbsp;</p> <p>My first order tends to be a bit hit or miss too. Though I've already placed a 2nd order!</p> <p>Please share an update when you've tried your picks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-order-first-go-around#post-1824049 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 13:48:44 +0000 Tanya 1824049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all gorgeous, Beth, and I hope they work out for you. I had my eye on some of the same pieces, but had to narrow down my list somehow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-order-first-go-around#post-1824047 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 13:44:23 +0000 Anonymous 1824047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like the color palette. Color is easy to add to it - maybe in accessories? The jacket and sweater look so refined. </p> <p>You must report back on the booties and cuff to me. I had my eye on those as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-order-first-go-around#post-1824043 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 13:41:18 +0000 Suz 1824043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>But they are so beautiful! Love all of these choices. I am looking forward to the boot-off too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-order-first-go-around#post-1824041 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 13:40:19 +0000 marianna 1824041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The polka dot blouse is so fun! I like your chosen color pallete. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-order-first-go-around#post-1824034 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 13:36:57 +0000 Beth 1824034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find my first NAS order is typically hit-or-miss, while later orders tend to be more successful due to Angie's picks and invaluable forum input. So, we'll see how this first try goes!</p> <p>1. Rebecca Taylor jacket. The peplum, raw edges, and tweed had me at hello. The fact that it's cotton makes me think it could be a 3 season jacket if not year-round. I wasn't sure of sizing: going by the bust measurement on the chart, I ordered a 6.<br />2. La Vie Rebecca Taylor pullover. I'm not sure if this will be too boxy or just boxy enough, but it has STRIPES. I love stripes:)<br />3 &amp; 4: La Canadienne Sicilia boots and Aquatalia Foster boots. My NAS Born booties from several years ago are finally wearing out after walking many miles in them. They were a staple for traveling as well as home so I want to find a good replacement. Both of these look interesting and I'm looking forward to the boot-off.<br />5: Halogen cuff. This looks like it might be adjustable for smaller wrists so I'm giving it a spin. I can see wearing this regularly and the brown/gold combo is pretty too.<br />6: Vince Camuto polka dot blouse: Fills a wardrobe hole and the polka dots are fun. VC runs so large that I'm not sure how billowy it will be so this is a wild card.<br />7. Kate Spade dome bag. I initially wanted this in the Dark Mahogany color, but in person it has a distinct purple tone to it that made me pass. I'm giving it a try in black even though my head is telling me that I need to look for something in another color. The size is great, though. Not too big, not too small, and it has compartments instead of a single cavernous interior.<br />8. Oroblu microfishnets: Still a staple in my closet and great for transitional spring and fall days.&nbsp; </p> <p>I'm still biting my lip and considering the Veronica Beard blazer, but it's just a little too far out of my budget's comfort level. I'm really disappointed that this is the second NAS in a row without any offerings from Smythe, and I agree with Angie that the Vince and Theory options are disappointing this year.</p> <p>Edited to add that DH is always telling me I need more color in my wardrobe. Looking at this parade of finds, he might have a point!</p> </p>
