The toe seems to taper fairly quickly, so maybe that's what people are responding to with the "size up" recommendation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-of-what-else-i-tried/page/2#post-1705361 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 00:51:16 +0000 Cerinda 1705361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great review, Sharan!</p> <p>The burgundy Halogen seems to me to be cut way bigger than any Plione ever (oops. Did I spell that wrong?). It's nice fabric, drapes well, and is washable. It fit me comfortably sized down, but the sleeves were more "statementy" and the whole thing more dramatic in my regular size. If I were wearing it in a conservative environment, I WOULD size down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-of-what-else-i-tried#post-1704906 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 13:21:00 +0000 MrsK 1704906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Firecracker, great review!</p> <p>One question on sizing for the Pistol booties - do they run small like the reviews say? Do you find them stiff at all? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-of-what-else-i-tried#post-1704869 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 11:08:51 +0000 unfrumped 1704869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm catching up on posts-- super reviews! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-of-what-else-i-tried#post-1696901 Mon, 18 Jul 2016 16:22:07 +0000 Lisa 1696901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your fit info, I just took the Pleione cuff sleeve blouse and the BP no sleeve tunic out of my wish list after reading your review. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-of-what-else-i-tried#post-1696348 Sun, 17 Jul 2016 17:18:48 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1696348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Colette, I may need to try the Halogen one--thanks for the tip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-of-what-else-i-tried#post-1696347 Sun, 17 Jul 2016 17:16:30 +0000 fathenry 1696347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much for your great reviews! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-of-what-else-i-tried#post-1696307 Sun, 17 Jul 2016 15:37:52 +0000 Colette 1696307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great reviews, thank you! I also tried the Pleione Bell Cuff Blouse but was sized out. I hope it works for others because it is nice looking. Did you happen to see the Halogen blouse with the cuff detail? Looks better in person. I tried it and the fit was much better on me. I am considering it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-of-what-else-i-tried#post-1696301 Sun, 17 Jul 2016 15:27:06 +0000 Joyce B 1696301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the great reviews! I love those Ecco Andora booties but I already have grey booties. You are right that the PG Julias are not as comfortable as the Cayannes for example. I think mine may still work out but I will wait until the weather cools a little so that my feet are not swollen and will then make a final decision. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-of-what-else-i-tried#post-1696289 Sun, 17 Jul 2016 15:13:25 +0000 Beth 1696289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super, super helpful! I'm knee deep (neck deep, maybe) in a bathroom remodel and can't get to our local store, so everything I'm buying is through the website. You're input has been invaluable:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-of-what-else-i-tried#post-1696255 Sun, 17 Jul 2016 14:26:38 +0000 Angie 1696255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME, Sharon. Adore you.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-of-what-else-i-tried#post-1696079 Sun, 17 Jul 2016 03:04:14 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1696079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>delurked, you are so right. Almost-right doesn't usually get any better after further consideration!</p> <p>Suz, the Classiques funnel neck vest had a tiny wrinkle at the hem (probably from shipping, and didn't get steamed out). I was being very picky. (I realize you need to be especially picky, too, though, with shipping and exchange rates!) I'm guessing it would work nicely for your swan neck. :)</p> <p>Ha ha, Robin! I actually ordered some home wares, too--sheets and towels. I have some towels from NAS about 6 years ago, and I love them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-of-what-else-i-tried#post-1696004 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 23:45:29 +0000 AM 1696004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very tempted by the&nbsp;Rebecca Minkoff dog clip saddle bag. I just haven't been switching out bags enough to feel like I can justify it. But maybe... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-of-what-else-i-tried#post-1695935 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 21:25:13 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1695935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These reviews are so thoughtful and informative.

You really can't tell that much about things from a picture and a catalog/website description, can you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-of-what-else-i-tried#post-1695924 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 21:01:24 +0000 Suz 1695924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sharan,</b> thank you so much for these thoughtful reviews!! They are extremely helpful and informative. So great. I have my eye on the Classiques Entier sweater vest but after what you have said, I am not so sure about it. Maybe I'll wait for another version. I'm sure Banana or Aritzia will put them out again, as they did last year.&nbsp;</p> <p>I've ordered the Aquatalias and might also order the Pikolinos but the looser ankle could be a dealbreaker on those for me. I have a pair of Franco Sarto booties from last year and the ankle is loose on those. They are super comfortable in every other way -- but the loose ankle drives me bonkers as my foot slips about.&nbsp;</p> <p>What a shame about the Pleione blouse -- it is such a pretty and useful style. Luckily you can sew a few of your own, I guess.&nbsp;</p> <p>You did extremely well with your picks, and your shopping was very considered and thoughtful.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-of-what-else-i-tried#post-1695919 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 20:39:10 +0000 Robin 1695919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sharon, your reviews are awesome! I'm not shopping this year (except for some home wares) but your reviews make for great reding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-of-what-else-i-tried#post-1695915 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 20:24:09 +0000 Staysfit 1695915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! These reviews are so thoughtful! In terms of weatherproof booties, a must where I live, I looked long and hard at the Pikolinos before ordering the Sorrells and the Aquatalias. I have found that Pikolinos run wide on my feet, which tend to be narrow in the heel and ankle. Aquatalias are hit or miss, depending on the style. I have one pair of Sorrells so I thought I would try them. The heel looked high though. I will know if I can walk in them once I put them on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-of-what-else-i-tried#post-1695909 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 20:06:30 +0000 Anonymous 1695909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the look of the olive chinos as well. But how often have you passed on something and gone back and got it if you weren't in love the first time? I've gone back for a second look, but unless it was the price stopping me the first time, the second trip is usually to make peace with why it shouldn't be mine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-of-what-else-i-tried#post-1695888 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 19:39:45 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1695888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:( I hope you have a good trip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-of-what-else-i-tried#post-1695887 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 19:38:27 +0000 Classically Casual 1695887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll be with everyone in spirit...have a long planned trip out of town instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-of-what-else-i-tried#post-1695885 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 19:36:05 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1695885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great to hear, Xtabay!

You've allowed me to let go of any lingering feelings of lust for the funnel neck sweater, I'd been talking myself into. I'm stopping with the purchase of the blue Pendelton coat.<br /> (At least until the Angie picks are out, LOL). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-of-what-else-i-tried#post-1695860 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 19:03:32 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1695860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DonnaF, I wanted to see the gray, but my store didn't have it. The red color is so pretty. It would go with all of your blacks, grays, etc. It would be nice to see both colors so you can choose the best one for your outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-of-what-else-i-tried#post-1695859 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 19:02:15 +0000 rachylou 1695859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those ARE cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-of-what-else-i-tried#post-1695856 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 19:00:37 +0000 DonnaF 1695856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the review!&nbsp; I have the Pikolinos on order in gray.&nbsp; I hadn't really noticed the gold hardware; oops!&nbsp; I'm tempted to order the "garnett" as I have a feeling that color will sell out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-of-what-else-i-tried#post-1695855 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 18:59:00 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1695855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Inge and Rachylou! I'm really glad it's helpful. <br />Rachy, don't these BP olive utility pants look cute? I didn't see them in person, but I noticed them online. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-of-what-else-i-tried#post-1695850 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 18:52:11 +0000 rachylou 1695850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really excellent reviews. Has helped me focus a bit. I'd like some olive skinnies and maybe a sleeveless turtleneck. Will have to see, tho, if I can go anywhere with these thoughts. </p>
