I'll check where the waist fits on the utility jacket. I bought the joggers based on the reviews, and am so glad I tried them. So glad to hear that you like yours.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-up-and-advice-needed#post-2052488 Mon, 12 Aug 2019 17:53:51 +0000 KikiG 2052488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all your things.&nbsp; I have a utility jacket, and really enjoy it.&nbsp; The trick with them is to have the waist definition be&nbsp; at or just above your waist.&nbsp; And, I have those joggers! They are so very comfortable, and they make me so happy.&nbsp; I have never regretted creating a lounge-wear capsule.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-up-and-advice-needed#post-2052478 Mon, 12 Aug 2019 17:36:59 +0000 Kathie 2052478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Thanks, everyone! <b><br /></b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>JAileen</b>, I'm still hoping that you and <b>Suz</b> are able to snag one of the red coats.

Fabulous idea. Thanks!<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>And <b>Suz</b>, I am feeling a bit guilty that I snagged one of the red coats. It was such an eye-catching item in the catalog, so it's too bad that more weren't stocked. Thanks for the vote of confidence in the utility topper.<br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-up-and-advice-needed#post-2052360 Mon, 12 Aug 2019 01:59:12 +0000 Suz 2052360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all terrific. I like the utility jacket and can see it working well. And I am so jealous you got the coat. I almost snagged one but by the time I tried to check out it was gone! Sigh....I will just have to enjoy it on you... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-up-and-advice-needed#post-2052322 Mon, 12 Aug 2019 00:05:07 +0000 Anonymous 2052322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The utility coat looks great with your denim but I could also see wearing it with black or dark brown or grey Ponte knit pants or some dark plaid jeans. The Nic and Zoe cardigan is a beautiful color on you.. it looks like it may also work over the cute Halogen stripe top. Love that red coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-up-and-advice-needed#post-2052320 Sun, 11 Aug 2019 23:59:22 +0000 Angie 2052320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER all round. You had a brilliant NAS. I can't wait to wear our red coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-up-and-advice-needed#post-2052317 Sun, 11 Aug 2019 23:25:26 +0000 JAileen 2052317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You had an excellent NAS! I ordered the red coat twice, and my order was cancelled twice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-up-and-advice-needed#post-2052313 Sun, 11 Aug 2019 22:54:23 +0000 Kathie 2052313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>My final NAS purchases arrived on Friday, and I finally had a chance to try everything. (Please excuse the wet hair; I spent 5 hours cleaning up the jungle that had become our yard, and had just gotten cleaned up from that.)</div><div><br /></div><div>First up, <b>Sanctuary Rowen military jacket</b> (pics 1-2). Inspired by one of Inge's <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2018/04/25/elegant-modern-classic-style-in-athens/">fashion blogger posts</a>, as well as Angie's <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2019/05/24/outfit-formula-easy-utilitarian/">utilitarian</a> and <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2017/07/20/ensemble-utility-pretty/">utility pretty</a> outfit ideas, I've been hoping to add a few utility pieces. The utility pants that I tried from NAS didn't fit in the rise, and then this jacket/topper caught my eye. Would love to have thoughts on fit (should I try a size up?) as well as styling ideas other than wearing it with denim.&nbsp; I'm leaning towards keep, but doing an extensive styling session, and if I don't wear it by mid-October, then returning. (I like it, and I like evolving my style, but, I'm also realistic that if I'm not careful, items can become orphans.) Thoughts?<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Nic &amp; Zoe tipped cardigan </b>(pics 3-4): I followed Angie's advice, and sized down to a XS in this one. (I had tried on a medium at my local store.) I like the neater, trim fit of sizing down. Was very close to cutting the tags, and taking this on a flight last week, so I'm thinking it's a keeper. I love the color, and it replaces a similar navy cardigan that met too early a demise.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Halogen ribbed sweater </b>(pics 5-6): Surprised myself, and got the stripe (rather than black) in a S, because I'll generally have a layer over it. The sleeves are a bit long, as others have noted, but I'm fine with scrunching them. Keeping, because the pink in the stripe is a perfect match to my Angie twin Scotch &amp; Soda chore jacket, and because, I sing in a choir, and I actually need more tops like this to wear under my robe. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Gratuitous picture of the red <b>Avec les Filles</b> <b>double-breasted coat</b>, because it makes me happy!<br /></div><br /><div>I also picked up some sunglasses (thanks to everyone who voted in <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-quick-trip-through-the-store">my earlier thread</a>) and some Zella joggers, both much needed. My last pair of sunglasses, purchased NAS 2015, has had four years of hard wear, and is showing its age, but it still took me a while to realize that it was OK to replace them. The joggers are a multi-purpose item for me- lounge wear, yard work, as well as actual gear activities.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Feeling like I've had a great NAS!<br /></div></p>
