I'm not a big fan of the stitching on the Kuts and the others are more like leans to me. Sorry. And feel free to ignore me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-purchases-round-five-homework-assingment#post-383915 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 00:04:28 +0000 Anonymous 383915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, the blazer looks fabulous on you and I love the Kut's. Looks like you made out well!</p> <p>I hope to see how you style the blazer since I have the same one </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-purchases-round-five-homework-assingment#post-383851 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 22:23:56 +0000 Lisa 383851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MNsara-I purchased the Trouve jacket in a size small. I have not tried it with the T Tahari dress yet but think they will work together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-purchases-round-five-homework-assingment#post-383669 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 15:51:06 +0000 MNsara 383669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good decision, Lisa! </p> <p>I'm wondering what size you got in the Trouve jacket? I tried it on in M, but the overall fit was too big, yet it still felt tight in the upper arms. I shoud have tried S, but gave up too soon. . . </p> <p>I think it makes the perfect update for the season, and want to make it work!!!!!!</p> <p>Have you tried it over your dress? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-purchases-round-five-homework-assingment#post-383619 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 13:49:43 +0000 Lisa 383619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everybody. Looks like the Trouve blazer and Kut jeans are winners here. Yay!</p> <p>MNsara-Thanks! I think you would look great in the Trouve blazer, I hope you give it another try! Funny I had to go back and retry this one and now it's grown on me. </p> <p>Jjsloane-Thanks! I have Kut shorts but have never tried their jeans, I think these will be great for tucking with boots in the fall.</p> <p>Sveta-Thanks again for your post, which motivated me to go back and try these on. I think the Kut jeans will be perfect for fall. Last year, didn't you get the Hinge blazer in a red tweed? I think the Trouve one will fit similar in length to the Hinge from last year. </p> <p>Carole-Thanks! I hope you get to Nordie's soon and share your fab finds with us.</p> <p>Angie-Thanks again for recommending the Trouve blazer, the more I look at it, the more it is growing on me. I hope you will do a post about how to style a collarless blazer. The Kut's look like winners I will keep them. The Joe's can't compare, so the search for black jeans will continue. </p> <p>Dianthus-Thanks! I find fitting bottoms, of any type, skirt, trousers, jeans, are always a challenge for my pear shape.</p> <p>Sarah-Thanks! I can bend in the Joe's (they are actually super comfortable) but remind and fit me too much like a legging or leans, which is not the wardrobe hole I am trying to fill. Back they go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-purchases-round-five-homework-assingment#post-383442 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 01:59:11 +0000 sarah 383442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I have nothing new to add - the blazer and the Kut jeans look great on you, but the others look like they're uncomfortably tight around the knees (can you even bend your legs in them?!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-purchases-round-five-homework-assingment#post-383417 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 01:27:46 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 383417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first pair of jeans is better than the second but I'm not sure they are a 10. Jeans are ridiculously difficult for some of us but it is worth the effort to get it right.</p> <p>The blazer is a winner though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-purchases-round-five-homework-assingment#post-383402 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 01:05:13 +0000 Angie 383402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER blazer. It's a million percent more your look! Yup - those are bracelet length sleeves. </p> <p>Love the Kuts :)</p> <p>I vote return the Joes. They are too snug through the knee and calf I think. Not good enough for that dashing derriere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-purchases-round-five-homework-assingment#post-383395 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 00:50:45 +0000 Jonesy 383395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the blazer is cute but I wonder about the sleeve length. It's sort of an in-between length to me--sort of sleeve no-man's land--though maybe it's technically a bracelet-length sleeve and I should just chill :)? I really like those Kut jeans on you. I think the black ones are too snug or something--they don't do you justice, IMHO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-purchases-round-five-homework-assingment#post-383368 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 00:18:58 +0000 Carole 383368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that blazer and the first pair of jeans, the Kut. You are making me realize I am totally missing out on all the fun. I have yet to get to Nordies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-purchases-round-five-homework-assingment#post-383363 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 00:13:46 +0000 Sveta 383363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, so it is my fault (partially) that you cannot stay away from Nordie's!:-)<br /> I like Kut skinnies much better than the other ones: they do not stretched as tight. I am still heartbroken that they are too short for me because they fit my pear-ish thighs pretty well...<br /> I like the blazer - it was on my list too but my store did not even get them! I wonder if it is going to be too short for me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-purchases-round-five-homework-assingment#post-383353 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 00:03:24 +0000 Jjsloane 383353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Exactly what MN Sara said. I replace my vote for the other blazer for this one. Kut Jeans are staples you must have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-purchases-round-five-homework-assingment#post-383345 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 23:46:36 +0000 MNsara 383345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE that Trouve blazer on you!! (I must try that one on again. . . )</p> <p>I like these jeans in #1-3 better, I think, but can't check the Hudson pics side by side right now. . . </p> <p>I still am not fond of these Joes. Yes, I think they are more leans than jeans -- look at the way they hug you right through your entire knee area. The jeans in #1-3 don't do that. . . If you kept these, I'd vote for wearing as you would leans (are leans what you are looking for?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-purchases-round-five-homework-assingment#post-383320 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 23:07:04 +0000 Lisa 383320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>No I can't stay away from Nordstrom. I dashed there after work to follow up on some homework from my previous posts.</p> <p>#1-Trouve Shrunken Blazer<br /> This blazer was mentioned a few times <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-purchases-round-two-dresses#post-383296">in this post instead of the T Tahari blazer here</a>. I'm leaning towards this one as the keeper. Are these bracelet length sleeves?</p> <p>#2-#3-Kut from the Kloth Skinnies<br /> The Hudson skinnies <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-purchases-round-three-jeans-and-cardigan">from this post got mixed reviews</a> because of the pocket flaps. I forgot about the brand Kut from the Kloth until I saw Sveta's skinnies <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-rest-of-my-nas-purchases-i-need-your-help-with">from her NAS purchases</a> and here they are on me. Are these better than the Hudson's? They are not petite, do they need to be hemmed to tuck with boots?</p> <p>#4-#6-Joe's High Waist The Skinny Visionaire Jeans<br /> Here are the <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-purchases-round-three-jeans-and-cardigan">Joe's jeans again from this post</a> but styled with a blazer as requested. I'm beginning to wonder, are these really leans in disguise despite the "jeans" label?</p> <p>And once again I am melting in our 90+ F heat in winter clothes. :)</p> <p>Comments are welcomed and thanks for looking! </p>
