And you just gave me the idea to wear that bell sleeved sweater with the long black gilet from a previous NAS! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-plus-size-top-picks/page/2#post-1826776 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 17:33:24 +0000 frannieb 1826776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie everything I learned about shopping and dressing the body I have came from you and the fab. members on this blog.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-plus-size-top-picks/page/2#post-1826716 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 15:41:27 +0000 Angie 1826716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>YOU ARE ALL AMAZING.</b> I want to go shopping with you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-plus-size-top-picks/page/2#post-1826659 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 14:37:48 +0000 frannieb 1826659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>okay my last round of things I have tried on&nbsp;</p> <p>I have included everything not just top picks because I have such a specific aesthetic for my dressing because of my body shape and extreme pear. What I consider a top pick may not work for others and vice versa.</p> <p>*to be noted I have not tried on a single long topper sweater because those are not my jam. Hopefully others will fill in the gap on longer toppers.</p> <p>Gray EF sweater - gorgeous, I find all EF tops run big. It is the Basic EF cut which is boxy. Hit my hips in a good place.&nbsp;</p> <p>Vince Camuto top in pink or black - This is beautiful the fabric is great. I tried on a 1X and was swimming in it. &nbsp;You have to be good with extra fabric and this is a drama top if ever there was. Not a good fit for this pear shaped body.</p> <p>Marina Rinaldi - Gorgeous top her stuff is just beautiful. I love that Nordstroms sells her stuff now. Fit me true to size. Wonderful blouse to dress up all those black and grey toppers I own.</p> <p>EF Asymmetrical sweater - So sad this was not a good fit for me. I felt it ran large. It looked somewhat sloppy on me and where the asymmetrical part hit on me was the widest part of my hips. If you are pear shaped skip this sweater.</p> <p>NYDJ layers sweater - A beautiful sweater. Looked sloppy and to baggy on me. Though in the dressing room I saw this top tried on by ladies with an apple shape in the dressing room and it looked gorgeous on them. (In cased you haven't noticed - I turn the dressing room into a party)</p> <p>EF moto pants - I enjoy EF pants I did not like how these looked in real life. They look just like the picture. Tight in the thigh and loose around the knee and calf. I just didn't like the look. &nbsp;The Sejour ones are the ones for the win if you are a plus size gal.</p> <p>The Vince Camuto tipped sleeve top as others have mentioned is gorgeous. I just happened to find a straight size top with peplum that was my jam. (It has me a peplum - with my shape peplum is my friend in so many ways)</p> <p>The Eliza Jay floral dress - This thing is gorgeous. Fit my pear shaped body beautifully. The color was a real wild card color for me so I passed.&nbsp;</p> <p>There is another dress I bought but it isn't online. I will try to get a pic of myself tonight and share.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-plus-size-top-picks/page/2#post-1826628 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 14:02:06 +0000 Angie 1826628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW. <b>Thank you</b>. Frannie and Nadya, you ROCK.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-plus-size-top-picks/page/2#post-1826540 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 10:36:28 +0000 LynninRI 1826540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all so much for sharing your try-ons. The Providence Nordstrom Encore department is ...thin....lol. I am already on my 3rd order trying to fill some holes in my fall wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-plus-size-top-picks/page/2#post-1826507 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 07:21:02 +0000 karen13 1826507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for the 411, very helpful to have real-life assessments! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-plus-size-top-picks/page/2#post-1826484 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 04:11:51 +0000 Nadya 1826484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such fun to see everyone's comments!</p> <p>I second Kari's recommendation for the grey Sejour leather jacket. It's got a great shape, and its trim fit and shorter length makes it work over dresses or long tops. I surprised myself by pairing it with this pleated apricot top and a pair of skinny jeans. </p> <p>I love olive green and found two sweaters. The long sleeved one can be worn as a cowl neck or off the shoulders. I'll wear it as a cowl neck. This sleeveless tunic was nice too. They're both much better in orperson than the pictures.</p> <p>I also liked the white tipped bell sleeved sweater- I think you recommended this already in a misses size, Angie. (Or a similar one from another line.)</p> <p>Finally, not a top but my pick for an on trend jean to refresh my denim capsule were these Kut from the Kloth step hem skinnies.</p> <p>Hope this helps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-plus-size-top-picks/page/2#post-1826464 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 03:22:03 +0000 frannieb 1826464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a couple more to do will finish up tomorrow - hope this helps some. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-plus-size-top-picks#post-1826463 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 03:20:24 +0000 frannieb 1826463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's EF it is boxy like most of her tops. The fabric is beautiful. What can i say typical EF piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-plus-size-top-picks#post-1826461 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 03:17:41 +0000 frannieb 1826461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Faux leather crop front leggings - need a say more. Fit like a dream ponte fabric in back substantial no lumps or bumps. These will be in heavy rotation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-plus-size-top-picks#post-1826458 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 03:12:43 +0000 frannieb 1826458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Every Nordstrom sale since I joined YLF (3 sales now) they have a black NYDJ pant the last two years it was ponte this year stretch twill. I always buy - usually i have to have the hem let out - this yesr they finally had a decent inseam length.</p> <p>The vince Camutos were magic. I have a rule if i try on a black pair of pants and the waist fits and I don't have to tailor I buy them. </p> <p>I honestly felt like i was in an alternate universe during this sale - no pants needed tailoring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-plus-size-top-picks#post-1826456 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 03:07:29 +0000 frannieb 1826456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Every curvy girl needs to get these leggings. They are fab - substatial marterial, holds you in, no lumps and no bumps show. Not tight with the perfect amount of stretch. I talked 3 other women into buying these while in the dressing room. I tried on EF and thses and these were the better of the two the fabric felt better and had better stretch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-plus-size-top-picks#post-1826454 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 03:03:33 +0000 frannieb 1826454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A beautiful basic i always pick up a color or two. Washes well, wears well, drapes beautifully. I have many sejour tshirt tops for under toppers.<br /> They are roomy so I wear a 0x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-plus-size-top-picks#post-1826451 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 02:59:57 +0000 frannieb 1826451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wit and wisdom jeans fit my curvy shape perfect. I will be honest they have a fair amount of stretch and the fabric is slightly thin. I don't see them lasting as long as other jeans before the reality of me rubbing out the inner thighs happens. I could be wrong. I bought my normal size</p> <p>I did try on lucky jeans because they tend to not work for me. </p> <p>Cant comment on slink</p> <p>And i do not like NYDJ i find for the money that they dont wash well, shrink up and succumb to thigh rub quickly.</p> <p>Jeans are a subject i could write a dissertation on for the curvy bottomed girl. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-plus-size-top-picks#post-1826448 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 02:52:52 +0000 frannieb 1826448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nothing but live for this top. I ripped the tags off and have worn it around the house the last two nights. The color is a dusty rose. This is perfect for my pencil skirt dress down project. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-plus-size-top-picks#post-1826446 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 02:47:28 +0000 frannieb 1826446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great top loved it - I choose a diffrent bell sleeve top. Again I feel it ran big and I need to size down to a 0x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-plus-size-top-picks#post-1826445 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 02:45:50 +0000 frannieb 1826445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This top is comfy I found it to run big and it was longer on me then the model. I'm 5'7. Lots of hip room - I'm narrow in the shoulders and even in a 0X the solders were still a titch on the sloppy side for me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-plus-size-top-picks#post-1826444 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 02:43:04 +0000 frannieb 1826444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loved this dress when she brought it to me in the dressing room I said I don't do dresses like this but I'll tried it on and loved it. I'm pretty sure I bought the next size up for some more ease in the hips because I had the shoulders and sleeves tailored. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-plus-size-top-picks#post-1826264 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 21:55:57 +0000 frannieb 1826264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz thanks for checking out my finds - I have some more to add. Sheepishly ducks head because I have done a wardrobe overhaul with this sale and the number of things I have tried on and bought is a lot.&nbsp;</p> <p>So yes &nbsp;I have more things I can comment on, when I get home.</p> <p>Frannie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-plus-size-top-picks#post-1826257 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 21:46:54 +0000 Suz 1826257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Voilå! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-plus-size-top-picks#post-1826240 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 21:26:35 +0000 Angie 1826240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Marianna. Here's the Find.&nbsp;</p> <p>LynninR, lovely dress. Can you or someone else please create the Find?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-plus-size-top-picks#post-1826238 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 21:21:09 +0000 marianna 1826238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also tried on these Wit and Wisdom cropped jeans. Loved them, very comfortable waistband. Smaller fit, I'd say TTS or size up for a more forgiving fit. Nice basic denim look. I chose the Caslon because I just need one pair and wanted something a bit different. If I wanted a more classic pair of cropped denim I would have selected these.</p> <p><a href="http://m.shop.nordstrom.com/s/wit-wisdom-ab-solution-ankle-skimmer-jeans-plus-size-nordstrom-exclusive/4627601?origin=category-personalizedsort&#038;fashioncolor=VOGUE" rel="nofollow">http://m.shop.nordstrom.com/s/.....olor=VOGUE</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-plus-size-top-picks#post-1826232 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 21:15:08 +0000 marianna 1826232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - yes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-plus-size-top-picks#post-1826230 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 21:10:57 +0000 LynninRI 1826230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a number of things on order- unfortunately the shipping says they won't be here until the 24th.&nbsp; I did receive this dress today- I know it isn't a top (IMHO there wasn't much to choose from in plus this year) - </p> <p>The color of the dress is amazing - a true deep blue red...</p> <p></p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-plus-size-top-picks#post-1826228 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 21:10:01 +0000 Angie 1826228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks sooo much, Linda &amp; Karie.&nbsp;</p> <p>Marianna, do you mean these?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-plus-size-top-picks#post-1826224 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 21:07:30 +0000 marianna 1826224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought Caslon patchwork cropped jeans. They run a size big in comparison to other plus size jeans I tried on. Nice denim with some stretch. Not low rise. Like that they have some "character" to them. Wearing them now; very comfortable.</p> <p>For some reason I can't find the link. I'm on mobile now. Will try to find link and update.</p> <p>ETA: it's these but in plus size.
