Good job making discerning decisions.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-try-ons-last-minute#post-1947156 Sat, 11 Aug 2018 20:22:41 +0000 Joyce B 1947156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to thank all who answered and gave suggestions, they are all appreciated. Sorry that things got hectic and I could not answer on time.<br /> -On the field jacket, you all voted olive and of course you are right. I tried a smaller size and that was too small. I will probably not keep the jacket because it is decision time and it does not “spark joy” as Marie Kondo would say.<br /> -A huge thank you to @Kkards for adding the finds for me.<br /> -@ Joy, I don’t think my allergy to elastic fiber is as bad as your mom had but I did need to return a pair of Paige jeans because they made me itch so much.<br /> -@JAileen, same here with the sleeve length on the coat. I tried two smaller sizes as per @Kkards’ suggestion. The XS is too small and the S is right but I am not sure about the side view so it may go back.<br /> @Angie, thank you for the warning about scratchiness of the coat. I will absolutely check that out before I decide to keep.<br /> -Chalk stripe blazer seems to be a winner and I will be keeping it.<br /> -I always thought light grey was a good color for me as it was easy to match with other colors but after I read the opinions from a few of you (Kkards, Suz, Unfrumped) I think I will do good if I re-evaluate how I look in grey. Maybe it is too much (or rather too little color) as I get up the hill. Thank you for letting me know so that I can re-assess with a more critical eye.</p> <p>It has been fun to read about people’s NAS experiences and what their keepers are. All in all it is a fun sale but the time for finalizing decisions has arrived. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-try-ons-last-minute#post-1945307 Sun, 05 Aug 2018 14:43:56 +0000 JAileen 1945307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the field jacket. I agree that olive would be better.</p> <p>I ordered the coat, thinking the contrasting lapels would be more contrasty. They blended in too much for me, and the sleeves were too long, so I returned it. I loved the concept, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-try-ons-last-minute#post-1945294 Sun, 05 Aug 2018 13:43:34 +0000 Angie 1945294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It ALL looks great accept the coat, <b>Joyce</b> - which I also found itchy.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think the olive field jacket instead of tan. And petite stripe blazer is dead right. NICE.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-try-ons-last-minute#post-1945293 Sun, 05 Aug 2018 13:38:49 +0000 Suz 1945293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, <b>kkards </b>is onto something re the VC -- fit looks really nice but hard to tell about the colour. You will know better having seen in person.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-try-ons-last-minute#post-1945284 Sun, 05 Aug 2018 12:54:27 +0000 kkards 1945284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>looks like you had a good sale<br />from the pictures, its hard to see a difference in the sizes of the field jackets....i like the tan, but for the stock pictures, IMO the olive looks better...the jeans look good, can you wear them around at home for a couple of hours to determine if they'll get itchy? maybe look at reviews from older styles with the same fabric content...agree with others, the petite pin stiped blazer fits better...re the plaid coat...wondering is you should also try the XS as the medium, to my eye, looks really big....the only one i'm on the fence with is the VC knit blazer, the fit is fab...but i think becuase of the lighting i'm having a hard time with the color on you... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-try-ons-last-minute#post-1945279 Sun, 05 Aug 2018 11:45:42 +0000 unfrumped 1945279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dark blazer best!<br /> I love field jackets. I think a darker color would be more flattering on you.<br /> The plaid is nice but seems kind of blah colors for you —I think maybe your coloring runs cooler?—and also overwhelming. Partly size, but also collar size/ style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-try-ons-last-minute#post-1945278 Sun, 05 Aug 2018 11:21:27 +0000 Joyce B 1945278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sherry, I think they did for me. I only tried one size though so if you would like to compare sizes maybe order a few. I usually do that but I only ordered these jeans out of curiosity and ended up liking them. Let us know how it goes for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-try-ons-last-minute#post-1945275 Sun, 05 Aug 2018 11:08:43 +0000 Sherri 1945275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do the Good American jeans fit true to size? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-try-ons-last-minute#post-1945255 Sun, 05 Aug 2018 07:58:18 +0000 rachylou 1945255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I quite like everything, and agree the long jacket seems big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-try-ons-last-minute#post-1945233 Sun, 05 Aug 2018 04:58:43 +0000 Anonymous 1945233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joyce, I like the field jacket, although it looks a bit big, but maybe that is good for layering. I think the olive would be the best color on you. Olive just seems more stylish than tan.<br /> The jeans look fine. Maybe you are allergic to spandex so it is itchy. My mother was...no elastic waist bands, in any clothing or shoes or socks or underwear. I really hope that is not what is going on with you. Do you see any rash or hives?<br /> I agree with the others that the pinstriped blazer in petite is the best. I also like the VC jacket on you but am no expert on fit. You may enjoy the lighter color in transitional weather. All in all, a successful sale. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-try-ons-last-minute#post-1945221 Sun, 05 Aug 2018 04:22:06 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1945221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Your choices are great, Joyce. <br /></div><div>I agree the petite is better on the chalk stripe blazer and think it looks really good.</div><div>The jeans are fantastic on you. I don't know about the itch factor, and in fact I haven't had that problem with stretch denim before.</div><div>I really like the gray blazer on you. Looks like a great fit, and I like the color on you; it looks especially nice with the top you are wearing with it.</div><div>I like the plaid coat on you, if you have the sleeves hemmed. If it's supposed to be fitted, then a small would be good to see. To me it looks like it may be intentionally a roomy fit. <br /></div><div>I like the first jacket on you, and I think the fit is good. You could draw up the waist when you feel like it. But the shoulders and sleeve length look good. It would be nice to see the olive for comparison. <br /></div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-try-ons-last-minute#post-1945200 Sun, 05 Aug 2018 02:39:19 +0000 Suz 1945200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First, agree about the chalk stripe blazer -- petite seems proportioned better for you and it looks great from what I can tell. Ditto for the jeans. I like the first jacket on you a lot for a casual fall item. I am not sure about the colour, though. I might like it better in the green -- will have to look at the Find. Not sure what I think about the VC jacket -- I think I prefer the Halogen. The coat is for sure too large -- hope the smaller size works!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-try-ons-last-minute#post-1945188 Sun, 05 Aug 2018 02:21:01 +0000 Jaime 1945188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Quick reactions - really like the first jacket, can't see the color difference. Jeans look great. Darker jacket fits better than lighter and looks great too. Coat definitely too big. Overall success! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-reviews-try-ons-last-minute#post-1945184 Sun, 05 Aug 2018 01:55:11 +0000 Joyce B 1945184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went today to the store to pick up the orders that I sent there.<br /> -Pikolinos oxfords in grey, did not work out at all. One size is too small and the next is too big, they don’t make half sizes. Too bad because I loved the grey ones.</p> <p>-Photos 1-3: Halogen zip front fied jacket, tried in a M to have extra space but I may need to check in a small, what do you think?<br /> I have it in the tan and in the olive. Which color do you think is better?<br /> The picture is in the tan.</p> <p>-Photos 4-6: Good American good legs jeans, I thought they would not fit since they look straight and I am not into body con pants but once on they seem to accomodate the curves and be comfy. I just hope the elastic in the fabric does not get itchy. Does anyone know about that?</p> <p>-Photos 8-9, 15 Halogen navy chalk stripe blazer, seems comfortable and is soft as was mentioned in Angie’s recommendations. I am showing the petite Medium and the regular medium. Petite seems better as the regular kind of swallows me. The sleeves are long but that is always the case for me.</p> <p>-7, 16-17 VC ruched sleeve jacket, seems comfortable so far, probably good until late Fall as it is on the thinner side. </p> <p>-11-14: Halogen plaid coat, got the usual roomier M but now that I look at the pictures it seems large so I re-ordered in S since the store did not have it. I read a comment that the coat is itchy but so far it seems OK to me. This is an item that I don’t think is in Angie’s picks.</p> <p>-Also working on the PG mocs and on some AGL mocs, I may need to choose one color of each and wait until the weather cools a little to see how they fit when my feet are not swollen.<br /> That was a lot of work at the store for me today, phew! Any thoughts or suggestions will be appreciated.<br /> Some of the pictures got out of sequence, I don’t know how. The gray jacket’s picts are in the same size and the navy stripe picts are in two sizes. </p>
