Wow.&nbsp;</p> <p>My far-and-away favorites are the lavender wrap sweater and the grey wrap dress. Both are stunning pieces, and very flattering.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm glad you're returning the tulip blouse, that's my least favorite of your collection.&nbsp;</p> <p>The blazer is just okay. Great color but as others have said the large pockets are a bit odd, and just in general I'm not a fan of the conservative style so unless you need a piece like that for your wardrobe I'd look for something more fun.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-more-nas-purchases-try-ons-and-a-smythe-blazer/page/2#post-1940681 Tue, 24 Jul 2018 04:45:56 +0000 Gigi 1940681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad you decided to keep the lavender cashmere wrap. It looks wonderful on you. I especially loved the second outfit, with the jeans. Gorgeous. The wrap dress was amazing also.</p> <p>Everything looked good, so I can imagine how tough it is to choose. I'm glad your family was able to weigh in with some insights.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-more-nas-purchases-try-ons-and-a-smythe-blazer/page/2#post-1940572 Mon, 23 Jul 2018 21:43:18 +0000 Staysfit 1940572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DH returned from a business trip, and left again, but while he was home (its his travel season) he rendered his opinion, and so did DS and DD. They all hated the pockets on the Smythe blazer. Suz was right when she noted that the shoulder fit was slightly off. My wardrobe is in good shape and I have no need to spend a lot of money on an item that isn’t quite right in ways that will make me pass it over in favor of something else I like better. Those qualities will lead to it sitting unused. I decided to return it but to look for another topper without these design issues in the same color ——if one exists. </p> <p>I kept the purple wrap sweater and the wrap dress. The wrap sweater works with most everything and I think I will wear it frequently. It’s the sort of item I gravitate towards on days when I want to feel pulled together but also comfortable. </p> <p>I found a pair of grey sock boots, not on sale, which I am waiting for because I wonder if that color would work with more in my closet than the navy Aquatalia. I don’t want to buy them just because they are on sale. I want to make sure they are going to be the most flexible color for my wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-more-nas-purchases-try-ons-and-a-smythe-blazer/page/2#post-1939117 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 21:22:15 +0000 JAileen 1939117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The wrap dress looks fantastic on you. I don’t care for the jacket very much because of the ginormous pockets, sorry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-more-nas-purchases-try-ons-and-a-smythe-blazer/page/2#post-1939112 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 21:15:56 +0000 Staysfit 1939112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Minnie, I am not really sure what to say regarding the sizing of the DVF dress. I think the Linda wrap runs true to size. I went by the size chart and it worked out well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-more-nas-purchases-try-ons-and-a-smythe-blazer/page/2#post-1939063 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 19:05:04 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1939063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I love the wrap dress, the blazer, the reversible sweater. The wrap sweater is very pretty as well, but if you're on the fence about it because of quality, you might hold off. If it doesn't sell out, it will probably be marked down further before you'd even want to wear it, and you could reconsider it then.</div><div>The tulip sleeve top is pretty, but since the print is not really visible from a distance, it doesn't look as special in these photos as it probably does in real life. <br /></div><div>I really like the blazer on you. I did a double-take on the big pockets at first, too, but I like the design because it is different. It's an updated classic look, and I think you wear it well. <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-more-nas-purchases-try-ons-and-a-smythe-blazer/page/2#post-1938948 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 14:24:14 +0000 Anonymous 1938948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to agree with Lisa in that the pockets on the Smythe jacket are too large. The stance is a little high on you, but not unwearable. Love the colour, but find the design features on the from (high stance/collar, huge pockets) take away from the beauty of the fit and tailoring. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-more-nas-purchases-try-ons-and-a-smythe-blazer#post-1938939 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 14:09:56 +0000 Minnie 1938939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the wrap sweater and the dvf dress.<br />Quick question about the dress: is it true to size? <br />I sometimes think that some dvf dresses run a bit small.<br />I have this dress in my cart right now, but am uncertain about the size. Thanks!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-more-nas-purchases-try-ons-and-a-smythe-blazer#post-1938928 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 13:41:04 +0000 Toban 1938928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the blazer and wrap dress. Love the blazer with those shoes! I’m a pass on the sweaters. It is early in the season and better options will come. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-more-nas-purchases-try-ons-and-a-smythe-blazer#post-1938921 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 13:18:51 +0000 Carla 1938921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to learn that you are keeping the blazer and the wrap dress. They are the standouts. The wrap lavender sweater reminds me of ballet warm-up kit. The colour and style is made for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-more-nas-purchases-try-ons-and-a-smythe-blazer#post-1938899 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 12:05:59 +0000 Staysfit 1938899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am going to return the Lewit tulip sleeve top. I am ambivalent about it. It’s just not that fab and I think it will hang unused in my closet. I need to think more about the pink sweater. The blazer and dress are staying. Still not sure about the wrap sweater, but leaning towards keeping it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-more-nas-purchases-try-ons-and-a-smythe-blazer#post-1938894 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 11:24:20 +0000 Cathy 1938894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look good in everything, but I LOVE the blazer on you.&nbsp; The color is gorgeous!&nbsp; The reversible pink sweater is really cute too, think I'll check that one out for myself.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-more-nas-purchases-try-ons-and-a-smythe-blazer#post-1938888 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 11:01:02 +0000 LaPed 1938888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another thumbs up for the Smythe blazer -- the colour is gorgeous and I like the big patch pockets; they are large enough that it looks intentional. And with the sneakers -- wow, what a combo!</p> <p>I bet you will wear the heck out of the charcoal DVF dress, once you style it with accessories, toppers, etc. It's such a perfect fit for you, and has "essential" written all over it.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's a shame the lilac wrap sweater isn't quite up to par quality-wise; I'd be sorely tempted to keep it anyway because the fit and colour are so good, but if it starts to show wear after just a few months, you'll probably kick yourself for keeping it.</p> <p>Not so sure about the tulip sleeve top. The sleeves make it seem like it's meant to be a standalone piece, but it just isn't that eye-catching on its own. It looks fine underneath the toppers, but then why bother with a sleeve treatment? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-more-nas-purchases-try-ons-and-a-smythe-blazer#post-1938886 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 10:57:53 +0000 Anonymous 1938886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alright. &nbsp;I am going to concede that the lavender sweater is breathtakingly beautiful on you. &nbsp;The lighter weight will cover transition weather. &nbsp;I recommend keeping.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-more-nas-purchases-try-ons-and-a-smythe-blazer#post-1938883 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 10:53:06 +0000 Bijou 1938883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The two favourite items on you are the Smyth blazer and DVF wrap dress. They are beautiful and look like they will last more than one season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-more-nas-purchases-try-ons-and-a-smythe-blazer#post-1938879 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 10:47:25 +0000 Anonymous 1938879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the standouts for me:<br />--the reversible sweater is adorable on you, both ways.<br />--the wrap-dress needs a scarf or color in complements and you are set to go.&nbsp; fits your body so well!<br />I would probably pass on the cashmere sweater if the quality is already questionable; the jacket's pockets shout-out too much, even slanted pockets would have been a better design choice by the maker of the jacket.&nbsp; The color, however, is gorgeous on you&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-more-nas-purchases-try-ons-and-a-smythe-blazer#post-1938878 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 10:47:22 +0000 kkards 1938878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>blazer and matching sneakers! fab color for you....love the blazer, i love the large pockets, gives the blazer a fashion edge....and i love the pink wrap sweater, off to "find" that sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-more-nas-purchases-try-ons-and-a-smythe-blazer#post-1938854 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 09:16:15 +0000 Style Fan 1938854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the wrap dress.&nbsp; Gorgeous colour and it would look great with skinny jeans.&nbsp; The Smythe blazer is an amazing colour for you.&nbsp; The blazer also screams quality.&nbsp; To me, the large pockets are all part of the Smythe fashion-forward look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-more-nas-purchases-try-ons-and-a-smythe-blazer#post-1938846 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 08:36:06 +0000 jussie 1938846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow everything looks great! The only thing I’m not in love with is the tulip sleeve blouse, just not as special as the other pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-more-nas-purchases-try-ons-and-a-smythe-blazer#post-1938833 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 07:03:24 +0000 Staysfit 1938833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cindysmith, thanks! I have a budget so I need to be very picky now. I’m not keeping everything. I am going to play more to see which of these works best, and also makes me feel happiest. I am more prone to wearing something if I feel happy while wearing it, how about you?</p> <p>Smittie, I have the strange proportions of a long neck and proportionally broad shoulders that are slightly IT, so I can wear a V Neck or I can wear a high neckline. Really, I am lucky because I can do most anything except shallow scoop necks. They are not my best look. Charcoal is in my palette, although maybe slightly darker than this one, or maybe warmer.l</p> <p>Wind chime, the sale price of the Autumn cashmere puts it into a category where I’m willing to risk it lasting only one season. If it lasts longer I will be very happy.</p> <p>Bonnie, my DH agrees with you. He loves the wrap dress.</p> <p>LTS, thanks! Even though I can wear v neck styles, I do not have many. I find them too revealing for work. Sometimes a camisole underneath helps, sometimes it’s too warm outside for the camisole!</p> <p>Bella, thanks! I shop online and I use the color and size filter. I can quickly see if what I am looking for is available, or if there is anything else I like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-more-nas-purchases-try-ons-and-a-smythe-blazer#post-1938830 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 06:33:54 +0000 bella 1938830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>May I just say you always find the most amazing things! I love them all.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-more-nas-purchases-try-ons-and-a-smythe-blazer#post-1938828 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 06:26:25 +0000 Like the Season 1938828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these pieces on you. Great shopping! I like the deep v's created by the wraps, but with your lovely long neck, you wear higher necklines beautifully, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-more-nas-purchases-try-ons-and-a-smythe-blazer#post-1938775 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 02:28:05 +0000 Staysfit 1938775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am going to have a hard time this NAS! </p> <p>UmmLila, the pockets are large on the Smythe Blazer. It bothered me a bit at first, but it sort of reminds me of the pockets on a doctors white lab coat. My eye has adjusted, and the color is perfection. If you know of a similar blazer without the big pockets let me know because this piece is surprisingly versatile. It seems to work with almost everything in my closet.</p> <p>Sterling, I double checked the price on the Autumn Cashmere sweater. Someone else posted a review. They don’t mention my observation about the relatively thin cashmere. I admit that could be a positive since it would allow the sweater to work during transitional weather —— Spring and Fall, when heavier sweaters would be too warm. </p> <p>Tina, the Lewit blouse easily fits under a blazer and the sleeves do not feel Bunched or uncomfortable. You are correct that the lightweight material takes very little space under a fitted shoulder and sleeve.</p> <p>Sal, the dress length may be short in the picture because I am wearing four inch heels. It’s hard to tell from the angle of the photo. I thought the greys in the shoes looked good with the dress. If it is short without heels, I am not too worried because I tend to wear my wrap dresses with skinny jeans. It’s one of my favorite ensembles.</p> <p>Kathie, the RM sweater does look large in #10. I think it’s the camera angle because it does not look so large in person. I need to hire my DD to take my photos!</p> <p>Gisellec, I seem to duplicate items that are classic if they work. I have a strong classic base to my wardrobe, and i like to keep things a long time.</p> <p>Suz, thanks for the complement. I do feel more confident about my shopping, ability and as you know it has been a multi-year journey to reach this point. I could never have done it without Angie and YLF forum members. </p> <p>Thanks Angie! These Cole Haan sneakers have been so fun! I love how they coordinate with the blazer. They seem to be durable too. I wear them frequently and they are not showing signs of wear. They are identical to the Camo Sneakers in the Sneak Peak post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-more-nas-purchases-try-ons-and-a-smythe-blazer#post-1938769 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 02:23:31 +0000 Bonnie 1938769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is the wrap dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-more-nas-purchases-try-ons-and-a-smythe-blazer#post-1938767 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 02:21:55 +0000 Windchime 1938767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The lavender sweater is SO pretty on you. I was admiring how it looked in the first pic with the dress and then was blown away by your next pic, with jeans. Would you wear it enough to justify purchasing it for one season?</p> <p>The blouse with tulip sleeves beautifully showcases your toned arms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-more-nas-purchases-try-ons-and-a-smythe-blazer#post-1938764 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 02:20:45 +0000 Anonymous 1938764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing in things with a v neckline.<br /> The blouse is so pretty on you.<br /> Lilac wrap: Great!<br /> Smythe: great! Love this colour on you. I think the pockets make it a little more casual, which is think works for your lifestyle (?)<br /> Cotton sweater: I’m a little meh on this one. I think you could do better.<br /> Grey wrap dress: amazing on you. But I wonder if this mid grey colour is in your palette? I think the softness of the dress brings the vibe you’re looking for though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-more-nas-purchases-try-ons-and-a-smythe-blazer#post-1938733 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 01:38:42 +0000 cindysmith 1938733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It all looks so good!

I have to say the lilac sweater is completely yummy on you -- but if the quality is poor it may not be the best choice. Still, I do love how it looks in both outfits!&nbsp;</p> <p>The blouse is pretty but maybe not worth it. Seems a bit washed out for you in the photos and if it's polyester...still, I guess that makes it wash and wear.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love the colour of the Smythe on you and you wear blazers so very well. Shoulder fit does look a touch off and the pockets are indeed strangely large. For that price I would want perfection but the colour makes it awfully tempting.&nbsp;</p> <p>Minkoff sweater is lovely but not as pretty as the lilac on you. However it sounds as if it fills a hole.&nbsp;</p> <p>I actually love the DVF on you! I adore that charcoal tone.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-more-nas-purchases-try-ons-and-a-smythe-blazer#post-1938711 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 01:17:16 +0000 gisellec 1938711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2 &amp; 4 are specifically great on you.&nbsp; I can see if you want to spend $$ elsewhere as you have the same, but it is timeless. </p>
