I really like the sheer blouse on you as well. It's hard to really see the fit of the James Perse blazer, but am glad you like it and found that it fits well. Thanks for the reviews! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-round-1#post-1826273 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 22:07:35 +0000 Lisa 1826273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The double breasted blazer is gorgeous on you.&nbsp; And your furbaby is cute too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-round-1#post-1826183 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 20:18:45 +0000 Alecia 1826183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some good stuff in here, but my favorite is the crocheted top. Before I read the write-up I asked myself, "How did I miss that in NAS?!" Great work.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-round-1#post-1825931 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 05:36:20 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1825931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and great shopping outfit! That crocheted top is just beautiful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-round-1#post-1825929 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 05:35:16 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1825929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Darn, I wish the jumpsuit had fit. I love the sheer blouse and the jacket, though, and I'm glad they worked out so well for you. I agree a regular black bra would be better with the blouse--I'm surprised that I didn't like the long-line as well as I thought I would. Work the try, though! The blouse looks great with your leather skirt. <br />Thanks for the reviews and the cute kitty photo, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-round-1#post-1825926 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 05:16:06 +0000 Barbara Diane 1825926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad about the jumpsuit.

Even though it's not in the NAS section people are finding it. Hopefully it will get moved. I love your bonus outfit! I am glad someone ordered that James Perse double breasted jacket. I wanted to see it. I wish your picture was in better light, but I'm glad the jacket worked for you. It's an attractive piece. I worried it would be too short for my long torso. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-round-1#post-1825458 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 08:55:27 +0000 Style Fan 1825458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfit is lovely.&nbsp; Great crochet top.&nbsp; The James Perse jacket is wonderful.&nbsp; It is hard to see it on you but I can imagine it will be very useful.&nbsp; I regret not getting the olive green one last year.&nbsp; Love the sheer blouse.&nbsp; Very pretty.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-round-1#post-1825444 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 07:54:01 +0000 rachylou 1825444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1, 4 and 6 are good, IMO. And of course you can't beat kitty for cute :)</p> <p>I wonder if with my short torso, I could do the jumpsuit. But then I have sloping shoulders, straps usually fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-round-1#post-1825440 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 06:23:39 +0000 Keix 1825440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops - just noticed that I posted this in the wrong category. Angie or Greg, could you move it to the NAS forum please? Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-round-1#post-1825431 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 04:49:28 +0000 Keix 1825431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first batch of online orders, from the first day of preselection, all arrived today. I found a few things that I love, but struck out on shoes... still awaiting some more items later this week, including a few of Angie's top picks, so I'll do another round of reviews when those arrive.</p> <p>1) Not an NAS review but a sneaky OOTD - I really liked the outfit I wore today, so I took a pic of it Uniqlo white flared skirt, crochet tank made by me, and white slip-on sneakers not pictured because I don't wear shoes around the house.</p> <p>2) <b>Leith jumpsuit</b>: I was surprised to really love this! However, it has a fatal fit flaw on me: the torso is too short (I do have a long torso for my otherwise-petite height of 5'2"). Sob. The length could also use some hemming, but the torso can't be fixed. I pulled it uncomfortably high up in the crotch for this photo, otherwise it was indecent on top. But I think it has a lot of potential if you're looking for a jumpsuit and don't have a long torso. Can be worn with a regular (black) bra, although note that the straps are not adjustable.</p> <p>3) <b>BP Faren booties</b>: I snuck in an in-store order for these booties when I went to do some shopping for the SO. The fit is weird though; it runs small and narrow in the toe, yet wide in the heel. I normally wear a size 5 in closed toe shoes without socks, 5.5 in booties. I tried the size 6 in store and it fit okay, maybe a tiny bit long, except that my heel was slipping a lot. So I ordered the 5.5, but it feels borderline too short and is pretty fitted in the forefoot, while the heel is still a bit too wide. Returned.</p> <p>4) <b>Trouve bateau neck sweater</b>: I don't like it quite as much as last year's, mainly because the sleeves are dropped so they fit longer. This sweater doesn't come in petite and I ordered size XXS, same as the one I have in last year's version. The bateau neck wasn't so wide on me that it showed my bra. I haven't cut the tags yet, but it fills a longstanding need for another midweight tunic, so I may keep it even if it's not a 10.</p> <p>5) Just my cat being adorable She's 13 pounds of big-boned fluff, squishing herself into the gap between two Nordstrom boxes.</p> <p>6) <b>Hinge ruffle mesh blouse</b>: Another surprise love, and it fits me this time! I sized down to XXS and the shoulders had plenty of room (I'm usually a size 2 through the shoulders). The details are hard to see on this top, but it feels surprisingly well-made. I plan to wear it with one of my older black lace bras though instead of the long-line bra that I ordered from NAS; the long-line bra looked a bit weird when paired with a high-waisted skirt, creating a narrow horizontal gap of stomach which is a body part that I'm self-conscious about.</p> <p>7) <b>Zella Glam high-waist crop leggings</b>: Took my usual size XS. It fits fine but I found the mesh unbearably itchy around my calves after a few minutes. I'm somewhat sensitive to this sort of thing though, so YMMV.</p> <p>8) <b>James Perse double breasted blazer</b>: I ordered this jacket last year and returned it because it looked awkward over a fluid cotton popover shirt. This time around, I ordered two sizes (0 and 1) and tried them on over both a tee and the Trouve sweater. Verdict: keeping and LOVE the size 0, which has shorter and more fitted sleeves that still stretch to fit comfortably over a light sweater. I've already cut the tags on this one (and just returned the size 0 to the Palo Alto store, if anyone is looking).</p> <p>9) <b>Dolce Vita Marra double-zip bootie</b>: I loved the light grey color, close ankle fit, and dressy look of these booties. Unfortunately, like Angie I found them too hard to be comfortable The size 5.5, my usual bootie size, fit fine although might not have fit an extra insole.</p> <p>10) <b>Gentle Souls Carole zip sneaker</b>: Loved the patterned fabric and the supportive fit of these shoes. Well-made. But the ankle and heel is definitely cut for a wider foot :(</p> <p>So far I'm very happy to have found two HEWI's, a cropped black topper and a sheer black blouse (surprisingly, a classy sheer blouse is hard to find). I would like to order some more shoe options, although my size starts out low in stock and is sold out in a lot of styles now. </p>
