I love the white shirt and would not alter it (I like mine to fit slightly roomy) - I think it looks like it fits perfectly now.

I like the white shirt and while there is a bit of drape to the fit, I think it will work well.&nbsp;&nbsp; Nicely played! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/round-2-of-my-nas-hits#post-1002578 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 22:11:50 +0000 unfrumped 1002578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your choices.

Great NAS haul! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/round-2-of-my-nas-hits#post-1002409 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 17:32:44 +0000 AviaMariah 1002409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of NYDJ pointe pants (not those exact ones) and I duplicated them because I wear them so much. &nbsp;I love them and they have not stretched at all. &nbsp;I love those boots. &nbsp;I hope you keep them and they see as much love as your old one. &nbsp;:) &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/round-2-of-my-nas-hits#post-1002401 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 17:21:22 +0000 Day Vies 1002401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dotty sweater and the leopard print loafers. These are wonderful interesting pieces and you mix them in a way that only you can. I am really enjoying how you are using the loafers with the stripes in #1.</p> <p>I am so glad you replaced your boots -- they have been well loved but I understand I had a pair that I loved that much! The gray is a very interesting replacement -- I am loving gray as a neutral. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/round-2-of-my-nas-hits#post-1002377 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 16:57:23 +0000 Angie 1002377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally, I think you did really well at the NAS, Sveta. <b>Three pairs of shoes! </b>That's gold all on it's own :). An <b><i><u>all</u></i></b> your items are KILLER. My hat off to you. Well done. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/round-2-of-my-nas-hits#post-1002242 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 14:12:18 +0000 Lisa 1002242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great and really smart choices. I am also enjoying the logic on why items were purchased and what items are being replaced.&nbsp; I am starting to do this with my NAS purchases and it is a great exercise.&nbsp; Thanks for the inspiration! I adore my lace up booties, they are by Rockport.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/round-2-of-my-nas-hits#post-1002231 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 13:53:31 +0000 Sveta 1002231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann, the ponte is pretty good quality on these pants: so far no stretching at all and they feel very substantial.<br />Deb, Rachy, Lyn D, Shevia, Ceit&nbsp;- thanks!<br />Parsley, I feel it may be The Year of the Red Skirt I agree on comfort and sleek style not being mutually exclusive...in theory but it is much more difficult to find IRL when your feet are wide in the toe area. :-(<br />Mani, the sweater is not tight around the chest. I did size up for more ease for layering. What you see maybe because I selected the hottest day of the week to take pictures and could not be bothered to adjust it better over the shirt to make it quicker :-)<br />Rae, you are right, combat boots did work well for me but my concern was that old &nbsp;SM boots were a bit sleeker in the toe than the Borns...<br />Sylvie, you may be right on the shirt but this is a very common problem for me to have too much fabric on the back as my back is very narrow compared to my shoulders. I think it can be easily altered.<br />Pastrygirl, do give these ponte pants a try, they were Angie's recommendation.<br />Laura, the boots do have a bit of shine (as in not matte) but I think camera increased it. They are not like patent and not more shiny than a regular leather.<br />DJ, I did and sadly I had to pass. They felt a bit narrow in the leg opening. However to tell the truth I was so tired and overwhelmed that I did not spend much time assessing them. When I am in the Nordstrom next time I should explore underwear better. <br />Joy, I don't know if these ponte pants are the same quality as yours from the last year: they felt very thick and did not stretch at all so far. Give them a try. Oh, and please stalk the red skirt: I would be thrilled to be a skirt twin with you!<br />Glory, I DO know you love the boots: I am so sorry we could not make it work for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/round-2-of-my-nas-hits#post-1002230 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 13:53:21 +0000 Anonymous 1002230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, these are such great hits! Each one is so carefully thought out and I'm impressed with your purchasing discipline. Please keep the boots! Compared to the ones they are replacing, they look super sleek and refined. It all depends on what you put them next to I guess. They are lovely on you and I'm sure they will give your feet many happy miles of comfortable, stylish walking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/round-2-of-my-nas-hits#post-1002225 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 13:46:41 +0000 Sara L. 1002225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All your choices look great and I like seeing what you're removing from your closet as well. The boots look fairly sleek from my view, which may just be the camera angle.&nbsp; I was expecting a big clompy toe from your description and was nicely surprised when I opened the photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/round-2-of-my-nas-hits#post-1002203 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 12:43:12 +0000 Glory 1002203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful choices on the additions and purges - especially those Madden boots - now they have seen some serious action :)<br />I love all your choices. I would wear the shirt a few times to see if you want tailoring.<br />You know how much I love those boots (sigh). The colour, fit - I like the toes. I like your idea of wearing them around a bit in the house to see if the toe look question resolves for you.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/round-2-of-my-nas-hits#post-1002200 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 12:40:38 +0000 Anonymous 1002200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous choices and again, it was fun to see what each piece is replacing. I'm already sorry I didn't get the red skirt and will have to stalk it.<br /> I bought NYDJ black ponte pants last year and mine stretched out some but have been such workhorses that I should have replaced them. Yours don't look too tight at all and will probably get looser. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/round-2-of-my-nas-hits#post-1002196 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 12:19:52 +0000 DeclawedJaguar 1002196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, the polka dot sweater! So glad you got it, because it looks great on you. I think it's my favorite. The shirt looks crisp from the front, and a couple of darts in the back will take care of the extra fabric there. The red skirt will be a neutral staple for you,&nbsp;I think. The boots do not look clownish at all. Their toes may be rounded, but they are small enough to still look fairly refined. I really like everything, and think all the items will inject some freshness into your already fab wardrobe!</p> <p>By the way, did you get to try the Natori briefs?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/round-2-of-my-nas-hits#post-1002192 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 12:08:44 +0000 Laura 1002192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, you look stunning in all of it. Glad you made such a good haul this year! Are the boots shiny? They look a little shiny in the photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/round-2-of-my-nas-hits#post-1002190 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 12:08:27 +0000 pastrygirl 1002190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those pants look fantastic on you!! I need a pair of ponte pants and had passed them over in my online browsing. But now I'm taking a second look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/round-2-of-my-nas-hits#post-1002152 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 10:10:11 +0000 Anonymous 1002152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great boots -- a good upgrade to your SMs. The other pieces I see being workhorses for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/round-2-of-my-nas-hits#post-1002134 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 08:27:41 +0000 Jaime 1002134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great choices! I like the boots - the toes don't bother me at all and I am sensitive to too big and round toes. You look fantastic and I love the thoughtful way you approach your decisions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/round-2-of-my-nas-hits#post-1002130 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 07:54:19 +0000 Sylvie 1002130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like everything, with the exception of the Foxcroft shirt.&nbsp; I think it could definitely use some back darts, even if you don't make it super fitted, some of the ease should be taken out.</p> <p>The Born boots look really good and I like that they fold over. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/round-2-of-my-nas-hits#post-1002122 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 07:00:24 +0000 Lyn D. 1002122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The red skirt is my favourite!<br />The boots look and perfect for your needs. Might just be a matter of adjusting to the toe-shape.<br />I like the shirt shape and am not sure about the need for tailoring either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/round-2-of-my-nas-hits#post-1002110 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 06:46:43 +0000 rae 1002110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, everything looks great, Sveta! I 100% agree with Suz that the pants are definitely not too tight. Both the sweater and shirt look like a nice "classic" fit (or whatever the term is for not tailored yet not oversized), but I could see how you might want more tailoring as a matter of personal preference. I think it could go either way.&nbsp;</p> <p>When I commented on your boots thread, I didn't realize which boots you were replacing - I now think these are a really nice choice, almost exactly what you had before, which clearly saw lots of use in your wardrobe.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/round-2-of-my-nas-hits#post-1002103 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 06:31:42 +0000 ManidipaM 1002103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sneaky, Sveta! You already showed us the ponte pants last time, didn't you? And so they are clearly great neutral workhorses!</p> <p>Love your red skirt. Predicting another workhorse there that will go with most things and to almost any occasion happily.</p> <p>Sweater is sweet! Just one concern... is there a little pulling at the top of the chest? Or is it the layering or photo angle? I suppose you already tried the next size up, though...</p> <p>I liked the boots last time and still do, and vote leave the little bit of ease in the shirt. More contemporary. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/round-2-of-my-nas-hits#post-1002069 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 04:28:25 +0000 rachylou 1002069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blow me away! Love every piece and the way you've styled them here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/round-2-of-my-nas-hits#post-1002068 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 04:27:31 +0000 Parsley 1002068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good choices all around, Sveta!<br />All of your items are bound to be workhorses. The red skirt may have been a want more than a need but I bet you will wear it as much as any skirt in your wardrobe. Red IS a neutral, after all! :-)<br />I like the boots. I think they will take the place of the old ones very nicely. BUT, it seems like you're feeling more drawn to a sleeker style. I don't think that lots of&nbsp;walking and a sleeker style are mutually exclusive if that's what you want. It's too bad that your choices are so limited in your size, though. That always makes it more complicated, doesn't it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/round-2-of-my-nas-hits#post-1002063 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 04:12:43 +0000 deb 1002063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the boots and vote keep. The Ponte pants look very comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/round-2-of-my-nas-hits#post-1002055 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 03:52:23 +0000 Beth Ann 1002055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to see the ponte pants -- I looked at those in the store, but didn't have time to try them.&nbsp; The skirt and sweater will get good wear 3 seasons of the year in your climate!</p> <p>I think the boots look terrific.&nbsp; The color is phenomenal and, while the toe may be round, they fit close to your leg and aren't as "clompy" as many boots of this style. </p>
