Love them! I will post another thread later to show them, for those who may be interested. (I will also be returning the Frame leopard ones. Just didn't bother with it today.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons#post-2045483 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 16:45:03 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2045483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Thanks, <b>Jaime</b>! It's a made-by-me piece. The fabric is a digital print of Amsterdam.</div><div><b>Notsaf</b>, thank you! Good pick. I just noticed those Paige jeans this morning in Angie's roundup. I am going to take a look at them!<br /></div><div><br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons#post-2045399 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 13:38:57 +0000 notsaf 2045399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just chiming in to agree with everyone else: YLF! Those sling-back booties are perfect for you, and I love you WIW look. </p> <p>You have a&nbsp; great collection of vibrant/patterned tops, so the snake print booties do good "bookending"!</p> <p>If you're still interested in an animal print in the skinny silhouette but with lower contrast pattern, have you taken a look at these? (I'm a fan of Paige denim, which can be very comfy if the length + rise is right for you!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons#post-2045338 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 06:47:58 +0000 Jaime 2045338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Apropos of nothing I love the top in #4 on you! The booties look great with everything. Not sure about the printed jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons#post-2045256 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 03:14:41 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2045256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Joy,</b> forgot to say: thank you! You are so sweet, and a bit of an enabler, aren't you? Haha! It is true, black booties will get worn here, and certainly the waterproof feature is a big plus. Still leaning against the black, but I'm not taking them back right away, either. :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons#post-2045252 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 03:06:34 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2045252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div><b>Christy</b> and <b>Angie</b>, thanks for your thoughts! I appreciate the votes of confidence! And Christy, STP was definitely hard, but fun!</div><div><b>lisa p</b>, I hear you. I felt very so-so about the snake-print jeans when I first put them on in the dressing room. I felt they were a "no," but I wanted to bring them home, at least partly to show them here! Now they've grown on me a little, but still I'm not 100% sold.</div><div><b>Suz</b>, thank you. Yes, the Pikolinos are very comfy. I will say, I didn't try on either pair of Paul Greens, though, and I bet they would fit my feet even better. The Pikolinos are a good fit, but PG footwear often feels like it is made for me. However, the Pikolinos Vicar style is more useful to me right now, and the price is more attractive. :)<br /></div><div><br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons#post-2045239 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 02:37:30 +0000 Suz 2045239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The snake print booties are <b>THE BOMB</b>. If I felt I'd wear them enough, I would get them too. I really like them in all your stylings here.&nbsp;</p> <p>Once again, I concur with the plan to return the print skinnies, but I <b>really </b>like the crop flares. The softer contrast and different shape seem to work really well on you. I like all the stylings.&nbsp;</p> <p>I can see why you want those Pikolinos. I loved them, too, but decided one pair of boots was my limit for this NAS (along with the non-sale snake print Blondos.) They are super comfy, right? Keep red or black, I don't care, just <b>KEEP</b>!!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons#post-2045230 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 02:00:40 +0000 Anonymous 2045230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the booties on you . A lot . I’m not in love with the printed jeans ( second pair ) - just not striking me as quite right somehow . I can’t really articulate why - maybe the colour ? I don’t love printed pants or jeans though but am trying to be objective . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons#post-2045221 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 01:40:20 +0000 Angie 2045221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sharan</b>, you have styled these items superbly well and wear the looks flawlessly. KILLER ALL ROUND.</p> <p>That said, I agree with your reasoning. Keep what you want to keep, and return what you want to return. You had a wonderful NAS!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons#post-2045205 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 01:14:21 +0000 christy 2045205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you’re pretty well sorted out, but I have to chime in to say how much I LOVE those snakeskin booties - SO CUTE!!! I especially love them with the black dress in #3 - such an awesome look on you. I’m not a huge fan of the leopard print jeans - while the fit is fantastic on you, I feel like the print itself is too high-contrast. The snake jeans are really fun. And I’d keep the red boots over black since you already have a couple of pairs of black. Also, those AGs look fantastic on you!</p> <p>Congrats on doing STP - that’s no small feat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons#post-2045186 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 00:30:23 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2045186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div><b>RobinF</b>, I have had the same thing happen with duplicates in different colors--wear one a lot more.</div><div><b>Sal</b>, thanks for your thoughts about the NAS items and your compliments on today's outfit.</div><div><b>pil</b>, isn't that always the way? Searching for something that shows up a year later at the sale!</div><div><b>Rachylou</b>, <b>julesegr</b>, <b>PreppyPear</b>, and <b>Janet</b>, thanks for your comments about fit of the snake print jeans. It hadn't occurred to me that they would be too big; usually I'm one of two sizes in jeans, and these are the smaller size (also the same size as the skinnies). But it might be worth a try, now that I've kind of warmed to them with some of my sweaters.</div><div><b>Vivian</b>, thanks, and I'm glad to be of help with your decision!</div><div><b>Anna</b>, I'd really like to be on that terrace--haha!<br /></div><div><b>Smittie</b>, thank you!</div><div><b>Style Fan</b>, glad you like the AG jeans. I think you would enjoy wearing them, too. My friend who bicycled with me this weekend also bought the same jeans; she has a different shape than I do, curvier on the bottom and a bigger, slim athletic build overall, and they look fantastic on her. That's just to say I think they are a good style for many figures!<br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons#post-2045177 Thu, 18 Jul 2019 23:52:49 +0000 Janet 2045177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The snake booties are great. I like<br /> The snake print jeans as well, but also wondered if they might be a little too roomy. </p> <p>I vote red for the Pikolonos. Like you said, you have other black boots. I think the red makes them a little more distinctive. </p> <p>Your hair is looking great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons#post-2045176 Thu, 18 Jul 2019 23:50:41 +0000 smittie 2045176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how you’ve styled the pants in 7-8. I also like them with the long cardigan but I think I’d wear a black tshirt with them instead of white.</p> <p>I think the snakeskin booties look fab in every outfit! </p> <p>Today’s outfit is one of my favourites. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons#post-2045174 Thu, 18 Jul 2019 23:45:54 +0000 annagybe 2045174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the snake skin booties, especially with the cropped jeans &amp; patterned tank tunic.

It seems to go with everything. The dark red Pikolinos are a keep. You might consider also keeping the black too as you wear black booties a lot. Red is a neutral. And, if they are water repellent, that is another plus in your wet climate.<br /> Congratulations on the weekend bike ride, and your sewing/ designing skills continue to amaze me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons#post-2045155 Thu, 18 Jul 2019 23:05:28 +0000 Preppy Pear 2045155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for posting these! I love the snakeskin booties with all the outfits...I just like your outfits!<br /> I really like the leopard print jeans a lot, especially in outfit 7/8, but I can see how they aren’t for everyone. Agree that the snake ones might be too big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons#post-2045140 Thu, 18 Jul 2019 22:27:18 +0000 julesegr 2045140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the snake jeans look too big. Any chance you can size down? If so I might like them!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons#post-2045133 Thu, 18 Jul 2019 21:47:20 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2045133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Style Fan, good question about the black boots. I don't know exactly how they would work for me. I have worn my black Chelsea boots and black waterproof moto boots a lot. The Pikolinos are kind of a cross between those two styles, but the little red stripe, which I think is so cute, might keep me from wearing them with a lot of things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons#post-2045130 Thu, 18 Jul 2019 21:25:43 +0000 Sal 2045130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Popping back on to say the blue jeans are gorgeous as is your top. Really cool outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons#post-2045126 Thu, 18 Jul 2019 21:20:09 +0000 Style Fan 2045126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You always look good but the leopard jeans are not your best.&nbsp; I agree with returning.&nbsp; The snake jeans are good but I think the AG jeans are fantastic.&nbsp; I like how you have styled the snake jeans but they are not a 10. &nbsp;<br />Love the snake boots.&nbsp; I like the red boots over the black ones.&nbsp; But you might be more a black boots person.&nbsp; How do they work with your closet?</p> <p>I am checking out those AG jeans.&nbsp; They are just what I need. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons#post-2045125 Thu, 18 Jul 2019 21:11:30 +0000 rachylou 2045125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it all. Agree keep red, return black. The snake jeans do look a tad big to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons#post-2045123 Thu, 18 Jul 2019 21:05:18 +0000 pil 2045123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs up for everything but the pants in 7-10. I can’t even articulate what it is/isn’t about them. Those Pikolinos boots - I wish they were available last year when I was looking for something like that! Your hair is looking fabulous </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons#post-2045118 Thu, 18 Jul 2019 20:50:14 +0000 Sal 2045118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am yes to the footwear options!! Yes to the red rather than black ( there will always be more black boots). The red are fun but not too bright. The sandals look super stylish in all looks.</p> <p>I am return on both printed jeans. The leopard are pretty full on and while they are flattering - they are a whole lot of look. And the cropped ones I don’t find as flattering in cut and the colour is just off to me. Both look great but you always look fab in jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons#post-2045114 Thu, 18 Jul 2019 20:46:44 +0000 RobinF 2045114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the snakeskin booties - keep. I agree that there is just something about the Frame jeans that doesn't work for you. The fit is great so it must be the print. I actually quite like the flared jeans though. I think they look fine from the back and it's a good print for you. </p> <p>Hard to say with the boots. I know for me when I get two items the same I tend to prefer one over the other and it bugs me because I feel like they should get equal time - I'm weird that way! They are both gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons#post-2045106 Thu, 18 Jul 2019 20:31:02 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2045106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>In a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-little-haul">previous post</a>, I showed you what I got at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale last week. This week I had a chance to try some of the new items with my wardrobe, to figure out what to keep or return.</div><div><br /></div><div>First up: taupe snake-print <b>open-heel booties (Gentle Souls</b><b>, Harlie</b><b>), Photos 1-6</b> I was leaning toward returning them, because 1) I couldn't figure out what I would wear them with and 2) the top of the bootie bumps up against my ankle bone. However, after the try-ons and wearing them around the house for a few extended times, I think they are keepers. They don't really irritate my ankle bone, and I don't expect them to be all-day walking shoes. It seems to me that they go with the outfits I've shown here, and they will be especially good with dresses and skirts. They looked really good with the cream Levi's I was wearing when I bought them, too. <b>Leaning: Keep.</b><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Next up: <b>leopard-print skinny jeans (Frame, Ali), photos 7-10&nbsp; </b>These received near-universal disapproval, on and off the forum. I was skeptical of them myself. But I promised I would show you some try-ons, so here they are. Photos 7 and 8 show what I think is the most "characteristic Firecracker" look, with an olive draped tunic and olive tall boots. I quite like this outfit. Photo 9 shows another easy outfit, with a cream tee, long black hoody sweater, and tall black boots. Photo 10 is an attempt at pattern-mixing, since I noticed Nordstrom showed these jeans with the NAS Paul Green red plaid booties. The ways I would wear these jeans are limited, and I don't see myself reaching for them often. They seem to fight with my overall look. <b>Strongly leaning: Return.</b><br /></div><div><br /></div>Third up: <b>snake-print cropped-flare jeans (Frame, Le Crop) photos 11-15</b>. These are the jeans several of you urged me to try after the leopard-print ones. Initially I thought the color was not good for me. But here at home, I really like the color and the print, and I can see they would be very easy to pair with my existing wardrobe. I could see myself reaching for them often. Unsure about the fit, though. They are comfortable, but I think other jeans have been more flattering from the back. <b>Leaning: Keep</b>. <br /><div>Also water-repellent studded booties in reddish shade (<b>Pikolinos, Vicar</b>, in Arcilla), in <b>photo 11</b>. I'm thinking I'll keep this color. Though the black are so cute, with the red stripe at the top! Aargh. I really don't think I want two pairs of the same booties in different colors. (Although, I have done that, with the olive tall boots shown above--I also have those in black. . . . Hmmm) <b>Leaning: Keep red, return black</b>.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>And, what I'm wearing today, photos 16-17), along with another <i>keep</i> vote for the sling-back booties: dark wash boyfriend jeans (AG, Ex-boyfriend, in Bravura); purple and olive brown abstract stripe-print boxy tee (made by me); snake print sling-back booties (Gentle Souls, Harlie). The jeans are new; I got them at Mercantile in Portland, as a souvenir of my big bike-ride from Seattle to Portland this past weekend!</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks for looking! I welcome any feedback. And please share thoughts you may have on the snake-print jeans or the two colors of Pikolinos booties for me. I know I haven't given you any photos of the black booties, but I do have a couple pairs of black booties already, and they get a lot of wear. <br /></div> </p>
