I guess my smaller size jackets aren't coming til Thursday. I'm inspired by Angie's blog post today that mentions closet organization, and i'm going to try to find time today to give my closet a good cleaning/look over to try and help narrow my choices.</p> <p>...or to help tell myself it's fine to keep 3 jackets that all work for the same season *passes out*&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons-velvet-bomber-leather-jackets-slip-dresssize-opinions-needed/page/2#post-1825923 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 04:53:56 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1825923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it all on you, and I think the petite bomber will probably be better. I would prefer it to be shorter. I wondered about the cami, too, and I see that Angie suggests a size smaller. <br />I really like the slip dress on you and hope you keep it, especially if you get a size in the coordinating bomber that will work nicely for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons-velvet-bomber-leather-jackets-slip-dresssize-opinions-needed/page/2#post-1825906 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 04:05:27 +0000 Dianna 1825906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the metallic and the hearts jacket on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons-velvet-bomber-leather-jackets-slip-dresssize-opinions-needed/page/2#post-1825863 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 02:18:31 +0000 rachylou 1825863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them all for you.

Nice to see you post again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons-velvet-bomber-leather-jackets-slip-dresssize-opinions-needed#post-1825824 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 01:10:38 +0000 Tanya 1825824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in everything Nicole, and all the pieces are really suited to your style.&nbsp; I especially like the metallic moto (if the smell goes away), the hearth jacket and the slip dress.&nbsp;&nbsp; I agree with majority above to go a&nbsp; size down in the cami and in the bomber.</p> <p>Ass for keeping multiple motos, well, I don't think one can have too many :)&nbsp; Joke aside, I am keeping the Veronica Beard striped knit moto that arrived earlier today, and will keep a navy leather moto expected to arrive tomorrow if it fits well, too.&nbsp; In my case both navy motos would be navy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons-velvet-bomber-leather-jackets-slip-dresssize-opinions-needed#post-1825812 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 00:55:15 +0000 nicoleb 1825812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for all the feedback! Exchanging the metallic jacket for another one (hopefully) without odor is a great idea. I'm still really torn which jacket to keep now, because again i don't think i *should* keep multiple moto jackets, lol? Even if they're different i feel like i want to stretch my dollar on a little variety. I would be ok with keeping one moto and one velvet bomber if the petite works. But 3 jackets when they all work for the same season (i'll definitely need something heavier for Minnesota winter) is probably a bit much.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>KL&nbsp;</b>- that is really helpful for me to hear! Maybe I'll start trying more XS tops and see how it goes. I just honestly was not sure at what point/measurements/weight someone switches from small to xs.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Thistle&nbsp;</b>- No i definitely cannot go around in something that smells fishy (why does it smell like fish, lol?!). I would not keep unless it airs out or exchanging is also a wonderful idea. I really should take more of my jeans in to be tailored. I think Nordstrom even offers it for free, correct? I'm a pear shape and it's an issue i have a lot.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks so much,&nbsp;<b>Angie</b>! I just added the finds. I should have done that originally. Seeing how it fits the models right next to me is helpful!<br /><b></b><br /><b>Joy</b>- That's a good point. I'll have to think if i mind my presence being announced by the clanking hardware of my jacket, haha! I should wear it around the house longer and see how i feel.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons-velvet-bomber-leather-jackets-slip-dresssize-opinions-needed#post-1825805 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 00:27:45 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1825805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>None of these is a bad pick but it will be interesting to see how the other sizes work out. i particularly like the metallic jacket, the green camisole and the pink slip dress on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons-velvet-bomber-leather-jackets-slip-dresssize-opinions-needed#post-1825790 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 00:06:29 +0000 Anonymous 1825790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder if the. Let on the heart jacket would be fussy and drive you crazy. If not, it is really cute on you. I love the velvet jacket and hope the petite is perfect. I like that the gold jacket is close to the color of your hair but do not keep it if you would rather have more contrast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons-velvet-bomber-leather-jackets-slip-dresssize-opinions-needed#post-1825778 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 23:44:11 +0000 Angie 1825778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>LOVE </b>the LOT on you, Nicole.&nbsp;</p> <p>But some of the sizes need doctoring. Go smaller on the cami and bomber.&nbsp;</p> <p>Can you provide the Finds when you have a moment?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons-velvet-bomber-leather-jackets-slip-dresssize-opinions-needed#post-1825775 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 23:38:16 +0000 Thistle 1825775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Paige denim: - You're feeling meh. You will never love them more than you do right now. I agree. Pass.</p> <p>Velvet bomber: - Try the petite size and see. Angie is almost always spot on about these things.</p> <p>Slipdress: You like it and it's flattering and fits your style. Keep and love.</p> <p>Heart jacket - Again, you'll never love it more than you do right now. Let it go and save the dollars for something that makes your heart sing.</p> <p>Topshop jeans: - It's about $12 by me to have the waist taken in on trousers. Totally worth it. I have every pair of pants I own tailored, either for waist of length. I figure it into the cost of pants. Men have this so much easier than we do!!! &nbsp;Anyway, sounds like they're still tight over the hips, so let 'em go. Finding good jeans is hard, but worth it.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons-velvet-bomber-leather-jackets-slip-dresssize-opinions-needed#post-1825774 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 23:34:16 +0000 Thistle 1825774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I couldn't get past fish smell.</p> <p>I don't care how awesome it looks, it's hard to feel awesome in clothes that smell like fish. Maybe that's just me as I HATE the smell of fish, but I could just see a co-worker sniffing me or DD1 telling me I smelled.</p> <p>Sorry, but that's a return to me. Maybe try it again with a different jcket and see if it has the same smell. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons-velvet-bomber-leather-jackets-slip-dresssize-opinions-needed#post-1825772 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 23:31:11 +0000 Keix 1825772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Based on your weight/height + photos + several items that you ordered in size Small that seem a bit too big... I'd hazard that your "default" size should be XS instead. FWIW I'm 5'2", 118 lbs, and I waver between XS and XXS in tops these days. Darn size inflation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons-velvet-bomber-leather-jackets-slip-dresssize-opinions-needed#post-1825747 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 22:19:47 +0000 Suz 1825747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole, you look amazing in all of it. My vote goes in particular to the heart jacket (adorable and so you!) and the metallic <b>if</b> the pleather loses its smell and you can stand wearing it. I also love the green camisole though I think you should try a size down in it. Slip dress also has potential. I expect the petite bomber may work better.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons-velvet-bomber-leather-jackets-slip-dresssize-opinions-needed#post-1825739 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 21:44:26 +0000 jill58 1825739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the metallic jacket! Pretty cami--love the color. The slip dress is great too! The heart jacket is very cute. If you love it definitely keep that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons-velvet-bomber-leather-jackets-slip-dresssize-opinions-needed#post-1825731 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 21:11:55 +0000 Elle 1825731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the slip dress on you. &nbsp; Very fun look which can be dressed up or down. Don't hem until you've tried it on with whatever shoes you would wear.</p> <p>The bomber is my favorite jacket of the three, followed by the heart jacket (close second) and the metallic (distant third). For the bomber, I agree that petite sizing is probably the way to go for you since it is a bit long.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons-velvet-bomber-leather-jackets-slip-dresssize-opinions-needed#post-1825727 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 21:07:31 +0000 nicoleb 1825727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your thoughts, Lisa! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons-velvet-bomber-leather-jackets-slip-dresssize-opinions-needed#post-1825724 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 21:04:11 +0000 Lisa 1825724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1, 3, and 8 best here. &nbsp;The tank looks ok to my eye and those jeans have a fun hem to them. &nbsp;The metallic jacket looks like another lovely piece and right on track with your style. &nbsp;Same for the jacket in 8. &nbsp;I like the color of the bomber but not the fit, it looks so much longer than the moto jackets are on you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons-velvet-bomber-leather-jackets-slip-dresssize-opinions-needed#post-1825719 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 20:55:32 +0000 nicoleb 1825719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok. I'm going to try airing out the metallic jacket. So many smart women cannot be wrong! </p> <p>Now I'm questioning all of my original things I thought I would keep though. I'm not sure I want/need 3 new jackets. Assuming the petite bomber fits better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons-velvet-bomber-leather-jackets-slip-dresssize-opinions-needed#post-1825712 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 20:44:41 +0000 AZBeth 1825712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BTW: I too think the metallic jacket looks adorable on you!! If you can get past the smell you should definitely keep it. Looks great with your hair and the green cami!! Maybe try talking into Nordstrom's and exchanging for one that smell's better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons-velvet-bomber-leather-jackets-slip-dresssize-opinions-needed#post-1825693 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 20:09:39 +0000 Beth 1825693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of the jackets, I love the metallic one the most on you. The sheen gives it a lot of depth and it looks great with the green cami.</p> <p>Agreed that you need to try the velvet bomber in the petite. This one looks too long.</p> <p>The slip dress looks great with the tee and the jacket. I'm not sure about the color of the dress alone, but the tee gives some contrast between your skin and the dress and the black jacket grounds the whole look.</p> <p>And if the heart jacket sings to you, then you *must* keep it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons-velvet-bomber-leather-jackets-slip-dresssize-opinions-needed#post-1825690 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 19:56:09 +0000 AZBeth 1825690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh man I am really loving the velvet bomber jacket that you and AuthorLinda bought!! Just can't decide which color I like better!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons-velvet-bomber-leather-jackets-slip-dresssize-opinions-needed#post-1825688 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 19:51:21 +0000 JAileen 1825688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the heart jacket and the metallic one, too. I wonder if the smell would go away. If so, keep. Otherwise, I'd have to return it. Now if it smelled like chocolate... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons-velvet-bomber-leather-jackets-slip-dresssize-opinions-needed#post-1825685 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 19:48:18 +0000 nicoleb 1825685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura G, you have a good eye! I did have to shorten the straps quite a bit on the dress. This is a common thing for me. The space between my shoulders and bust seems quite short for clothes off the rack. I am always having to shoulder hems in for shortening. :-/ </p> <p>Good to know the cami is meant to bit fitted instead of more flowy. I definitely need to size down then! </p> <p>You guys are really talking up this metallic jacket! No one thinks it's bad that it matches so much with my hair, lol? Though my hair won't always be this shade of silver. I might go darker this fall... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons-velvet-bomber-leather-jackets-slip-dresssize-opinions-needed#post-1825674 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 19:29:20 +0000 Laura G 1825674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd get the camisole in XS, b/c a cami is supposed to be fitted.</p> <p>The quilted jacket and slip dress are great colors for you. I agree they don't work so well together, but the dress with the white tee and black jacket is a killer look on you. I assume you'll hem the dress, since it's hitting neither here nor there on your leg. It also looks a little roomy on the top. I think you're holding the straps in back to shorten them a bit. I've noticed if I shorten straps beyond a certain point then the fullness for the bust hits too high and looks "empty". Maybe not an issue if it's always going to have a layer underneath; otherwise I'd size down.</p> <p>And I'd size down on the quilted jacket too, or go petite. It looks boxy on you and I'm guessing that's not your favorite look.</p> <p>The metallic jacket is great on you, maybe the best of the lot. Of course I can't smell it! If it were me, I'd give it a few days on the porch before sending it back. I figure they'd go out of business if they sold clothes that stink and go on stinking, so probably it will be fine after outgassing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons-velvet-bomber-leather-jackets-slip-dresssize-opinions-needed#post-1825672 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 19:21:11 +0000 nicoleb 1825672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much, Smittie! Super helpful! I'm going to look for the cami on Friday and see if it comes back.</p> <p>Good thoughts about the hemline too.

The colour looks good but I wonder about the hem going straight across at the front. This is a new-to-me silhouette. Perhaps Angie will chime in on it.</p> <p>You have great style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons-velvet-bomber-leather-jackets-slip-dresssize-opinions-needed#post-1825664 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 19:01:00 +0000 nicoleb 1825664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies! So helpful to know the bomber jacket looks a bit too long. I'm so glad I have the petite one coming (huge thanks to Angie, because I've never ordered from the petite section in my life ).</p> <p>I'm so glad you guys like the heart jacket! It makes me feel happy inside. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons-velvet-bomber-leather-jackets-slip-dresssize-opinions-needed#post-1825662 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 18:53:00 +0000 Joyce B 1825662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also love the heart jacket on you. Too bad about the smelly metallic one because it does look good but you don't need to go around all smelly... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-try-ons-velvet-bomber-leather-jackets-slip-dresssize-opinions-needed#post-1825657 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 18:41:31 +0000 Diana 1825657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the heart jacket on you!&nbsp; I like the metallic one too, but fish smell would be a dealbreaker for me! </p> <p>The velvet bomber looks too long to me (which is why I think it doesn't work w/ the dress), so hopefully petite will be better. </p>
