If it wasn't meant to be, then that's a sign too.</p> <p>I really hope the James Perse jacket works out though, and if I can only keep one between the JP and the TT, the sweatshirt jacket is way more seasonally appropriate for me.</p> <p>Thanks for the sizing advice on the Caslon jeans. I have more of a waist than usual at my current weight, but my figure is still pretty straight and I don't have much room to size down (just noticed that 26 = 4 in their size chart, not 26 = 2 like I'm used to). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-what-im-resisting-so-far#post-1694926 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 13:56:40 +0000 Angie 1694926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pass on the TT trench - funny fit.&nbsp;</p> <p>The TT coat is the BEST coat at the NAS. Get a petite maybe.</p> <p>All the shoes are good and top picks.</p> <p>The Caslon jeans run very, very big. Not good on straight figures.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-what-im-resisting-so-far#post-1694860 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 12:48:36 +0000 julesegr 1694860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Off to check out the swimwear!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-what-im-resisting-so-far#post-1694795 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 11:13:31 +0000 Colette 1694795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great items! I love the TT wool coat but if I didn't wear coats most of the year I would have passed. I think you have a good plan. But that swimsuit, oh my. I don't wear swimwear and it has me taking a second look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-what-im-resisting-so-far#post-1694790 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 10:59:05 +0000 Suz 1694790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are really nice items but I think you are wise to resist them. You did well with your choices.&nbsp;</p> <p>I do like the bathing suit, though -- rare to find a higher necked one and I like the waist shaping on it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-what-im-resisting-so-far#post-1694764 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 08:50:22 +0000 Keix 1694764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In case anyone needs enabling, here are some items that I definitely don't need but kind of love, or otherwise edited out of my first order.</p> <p>1) The black military Trina Turk coat is already sold out in my size, which is good because I absolutely don't need another heavy wool coat. I have a blush J.Crew lady day coat for dressy occasions and a flattering red puffer coat for warmth, both of which only get pulled out when I travel to colder climes in the wintertime. The wool coat was only worn a few times last winter.</p> <p>Of course, having said that I still want it, and if much of my first NAS order doesn't work out then I'd have the budget for it. Would be a better travel coat than the blush JC, and I do spend a lot of time on airplanes when I get to wear a wool coat these days...</p> <p>2-3) Not filling a need for me as a raincoat without a hood--I already have a dressy trench--but I thought this Trina Turk rain coat was very pretty in both the navy and the red.</p> <p>4) Blondo waterproof OTK boots - I already have knee-high black leather boots, waterproofed enough for me (especially in drought-ridden CA), that I like with skirts but rarely wear. Not convinced that OTK boots would change that trend.</p> <p>5) Munro Abby sandals - I know these would be super comfortable, but I decided the style was a bit too classic for a summer wedding shoe on someone my age (mid twenties). And I still hate the velcro strap.</p> <p>6) Cole Haan Dellora flats - elegant and refined but maybe a bit too prim? Something about the style feels stiff to me. I may try them anyway if the VC perforated flats don't work out.</p> <p>7) Gentle Souls Claire leather sneaker - an alternative to the UGG high tops that I ordered. I chose the UGG's for the customizable ankle fit but these are very nice too.</p> <p>8) This Halogen fit and flare dress looked so amazing on Kari that I was tempted. But my figure is closer to the model's and she looks pretty rectangular in it. I just don't have the bust or hips to fill this style out.</p> <p>9) Caslon cotton shirtdress - teal plaid prints always tempt me. But my dress capsule is full and I usually want to feel a bit dressier when I wear a dress these days.</p> <p>10) Caslon release hem skinnies - these come in a 24" petite inseam, which is rare for released hems. I'm more drawn to the wide-leg cropped look right now, though.</p> <p>11) Not sure why swimwear is in the NAS! There's a good selection this year. I love how the print narrows the waist visually. But even in Hawaii this week I've only used one of the two swimsuits I packed, so I certainly don't need another one.</p> <p>Someone please talk me out of the TT coat if I make any more moves toward it! </p>
