The red is a great color on you, and the scallops are pretty without being precious. </p> <p>The circle cardi has a nice drape and I think it looks great on you, but I get that the James Perse jacket is more structured and that might be what you're looking for. They're very different looks. As an aside, I bought the JP jacket last year and waffled on keeping it for a very long time since it was so expensive. I ended up keeping it as my internal clock for returns had passed, and I'm glad it did. That combination of structure and comfort is hard to find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-round-2#post-1826058 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 15:05:16 +0000 kellygirl 1826058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous haul! Love the tomato sweater on you. The fit is perfect. Great to see a petite in the long sweater. I love that look on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-round-2#post-1826048 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 14:48:49 +0000 Angie 1826048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE IT ALL. Killer x3.&nbsp;</p> <p>Scalloped tomato top is a GREAT fit on the torso, KL. Fluidity is good. The fabric is heavenly, isn't it. No wonder they've run out of stock.</p> <p>Jeans look perfect, and the cardi is fably cozy and casual. Nicely done.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-round-2#post-1826011 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 13:23:37 +0000 nicoleb 1826011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That first top on you is amazing! The color looks so good on you also!</p> <p>Not sure how i feel about the jeans. But i agree with Suz. It could be the lighting and the angle. Any chance you can have someone take a picture of you in them from a better vantage point?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-round-2#post-1825988 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 12:33:18 +0000 Suz 1825988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The scallop top is lovely on you! I hope you keep it.&nbsp;</p> <p>It is tough to tell about the jeans because the photos are dark and at a weird angle but from what I can tell they look great! I suspect your eye needs adjusting to the new proportions.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-round-2#post-1825980 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 11:46:28 +0000 Joyce B 1825980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the jeans look very nice for your style. I don't see a muffin top but you can better judge that when you move or sit. I love them with the scallop top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-round-2#post-1825948 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 08:39:16 +0000 rachylou 1825948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the scallop gem on you and feel surprised at how much I like the step hem on you. I haven't been very attracted to the step hem, but it really appeals to me on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-round-2#post-1825894 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 03:44:55 +0000 Keix 1825894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This time I'm going to post in the right category! If you missed my first round of reviews, they are here in the regular forum:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-round-1">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....ws-round-1</a></p> <p>First, a quick review of two items not photographed:</p> <p>a) <b>Beyond Yoga space dye cami</b>: runs smaller than the Beyond Yoga cami that I already own, a different style but same fabric. XS was uncomfortably snug on me, and I decided the price was a bit high for not being amazingly comfy like my existing cami. (ETA: Oops, I just double-checked and my most-similar current cami is actually a size S. So that would explain why this one fit smaller... I do have a different style of Beyond Yoga tank in size XS though, which still fits my same body. Go figure.)</p> <p>b) <b>Halogen kick flare pants</b>: I couldn't get even a bad photo of black pants against the backdrop of my black bedside table. IF I needed to dress business casual, I would have kept these; the fabric is amazingly comfortable and the look manages to be trendy and polished at the same time. Petite was a good length on my short legs. However--the waist hits right at the softest part of my stomach, creating muffin top. And the front pockets are faux, which makes these pants LESS suitable to wear to work--in an ultra-casual workplace--than jeans (I like to hang my work badge from my front pocket).</p> <p>Now for the photo reviews...</p> <p>1/2) <b>Halogen scallop edge sweater</b>: Wearing size XSP. I was surprised by how substantial and high-quality the fabric is. Love the color, which is like a tomato red (I think; Angie is the final judge of that particular color!). Length, which I worry about sometimes when buying Halogen petites, is long enough for pants and not too long for skirts. But--is it a bit too big in the torso? Photo #2 is my attempt to show the creasing in the back. I can pinch off a good inch or two in the back without affecting the front view at all, except that it's less prone to crease. I could live with this fit but I will try to order the XXSP when it's restocked for the public sale opening.</p> <p>3) <b>Barefoot Dreams circle cardi</b>: Wearing size XS/S. Super duper soft, but the fabric is chenille in texture which makes me feel sloppy (also the sleeves are too long, which doesn't help). In the current stage of my style journey I'm trying to shift towards structured pieces that are still comfy--like the James Perse jacket I reviewed yesterday; without reflection, I tend to vacillate too far in one or the other direction.</p> <p>4-6) <b>Mother high waist step hem jeans</b>: Lots of pics of this one because I'm undecided and my mirror location is still horrid for photos. I don't own any true high waisted bottoms because I'm short-waisted with a long torso and a rectangle body type, secondary apple; all adding up to very little natural waist definition. Hence photos #4 and 6 are rather unflattering to my eye; #5 with an untucked top looks better, but I don't know how much of that is recoil from how hippy I look in high-waisted jeans, heh (I know that I am still pretty slim no matter what, but my actual hips are on the narrow side so it's jarring to see them look wide).</p> <p>The good: denim is super soft, high waist fits me better than any other high-waisted jean I've tried (no muffin top or cutting in). I like the step hem style, although I'm not sure if these are a tad too long for me. If I'm convinced that the high-waistedness is OK, I can ask my SO to take better photos to show the length over the weekend.</p> <p>What do you think of the Mother jeans on me? And do you think I should size down in the Halogen scallop sweater or stick with this size? I'm second-guessing on the sweater because everyone else has found that it runs small.</p>
