Otherwise I think it would have been too boxy for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-vc-knit-blazer-and-other#post-1705698 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 17:35:04 +0000 Cerinda 1705698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a smashing jacket! I missed it entirely. Hope it works.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-vc-knit-blazer-and-other#post-1705157 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 19:33:53 +0000 unfrumped 1705157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Angie! I got the VC in a 2, which is kinda my size in jackets such BR , but it seems to fit in the shoulders and I didn't think a smaller size would work buttoned and over hip( though I seldom button). Will give it a good eye- over to be sure.<br /> The pants are fitting more like Jean sizes for me than trousers but sll that is do brand- specific. I will try to ignore the numbers and just assess the fit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-vc-knit-blazer-and-other#post-1704969 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 14:48:28 +0000 Angie 1704969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see you in both pieces. I hope you sized down in the jacket. And the pants are probably fine in your regular size.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-vc-knit-blazer-and-other#post-1704653 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 00:05:52 +0000 unfrumped 1704653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Suz! I've ordered a size up.<br /> I was hoping to try the JP knit double breasted jacket, maybd even in the olive, ( so rocked byUmmLila ) but it disappeared and I don't think will resurface. For me, if would have been for skirts of maybe layering , as it's cut short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-vc-knit-blazer-and-other#post-1704638 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 23:38:16 +0000 Suz 1704638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll bet that jacket looks smashing on you and as a knit it will be super comfortable.&nbsp;</p> <p>The pants are gorgeous. I think pretty pears pretty much always have to size up in pants, though, right? And take in at the waist. So frustrating. I hope you can find the correct size.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-vc-knit-blazer-and-other#post-1704623 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 22:48:01 +0000 unfrumped 1704623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Attention those who are addicted to various gray tops snd pants:</p> <p>I got the VC knit blazer and hope it will be a keeper after I've had a chance to try on with bottoms.<br /> It's not uber- trendy but what I've honed in on is that the tweedy flecking is in shades of gray from pearl to charcoal. For me this is much better than sharp black &amp; white tweeds or patterns. So hooray, a not- black but neutral jacket that works with both black and gray bottoms and most colors.<br /> One thing I need to see in try- ons is fit over various top thicknesses. It's a WARM knit and while it is cozy- comfortable, it also fits me fairly close in armholes. I don't expect it to work over any really thick sweaters, but If I'm wearing this cozy jacket in cool weather I'll likely be in a top that's warmer than a T or shell or even a silk blouse, but could be thin merino knit.<br /> I also got the Classics flared knit trouser and I'm interested but they appear to run, er, small so don't know if I can find more sizes at this point.<br /> ETA: I got the upsized CE flared trousers and think they will work great after taking in the backwaist( and hemming). They give a slimmimg long legline. It's tempting to hem for 2" heel and maximize that, but I'm working toward staying at 1 to 1.5 " heel for new boots or shooties so will do that. These are similar to some AT pants from<br /> Last winter, which are hemmed longer, and yet these are more streamlined, and a bit lighter fabric, so that gives me a " capsule".<br /> I like the VC knit too strikes but I KNEW it would run short and it does. I should not have ordered it. At this length I need either slight flare at the hip or boxy, or tops " ride up" unless longer.<br /> The Halogen long sweaters: neede to size down but will not re- order as are meh on me. The boucle is pretty; the black- burg us a good color but is too itchy- polyester- feeling ( funny the boucle is not so much) .<br /> I love the colors of the loafers snd am keeping thd larger size.<br /> Kept trying to order the leather vest as sizes came back online, and it let md order but then cancels each time. Probably just as well since a very slightly fitted style would likely look better on me. I did not try that panel front skirt, but did try the Laf 148. It does not fit me well. I should stick with Ann Taylor, which over time continues to come out with some skirts that " get me, " and be more minimalist( i.e., repeat wear of best- fitting skirts) and not try to over- duplicate. ) </p>
