I can see the two tops will serve two different purposes. I think I like the NAS sheer top with more contrast and can see wearing it with pants because it is longer. I can see the other top, which is a lot shorter, with the skirts I wear.&nbsp;<br />Kellygirl - I wore the silver shoes about the house and am happy that they actually seem comfortable. Flats can be tricky as far as comfort goes.</p> <p>I've added a photo above of how I might wear the NAS sheer top.&nbsp;Wearing the silver shoes with the outfit too. Definitely keeping the silver shoes instead of trying for the dark color.</p> <p>Already returned the derby shoes and the Wit pants that were the wrong size, and did order another size for them to try instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-nas-arrivals#post-2365262 Sun, 14 Jul 2024 23:40:33 +0000 kellygirl 2365262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun silver shoes - I actually prefer those over the oxfords. The tops seems very different so I don't think. you have to worry about duplicating. The long sleeve looks especially chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-nas-arrivals#post-2365255 Sun, 14 Jul 2024 23:24:06 +0000 Jaime 2365255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The silver shoes look great (so do the oxfords but that slipping thing is a deal breaker of course). A sheer top and a lace top, one long sleeve, one short, really don't seem like two of the same thing to me . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-nas-arrivals#post-2365240 Sun, 14 Jul 2024 21:59:25 +0000 delurked 2365240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz - I do remember you having a similar style of pant. I do wonder if I'd had a half size down if that would make a difference, but so few brands make 10 1/2, which seems crazy to me considering how many people have larger sized feet.</p> <p>Thanks Runcarla. I do like shoes, but I'm also supremely practical with them. I cannot be uncomfortable or I just won't wear them. I was lucky enough to find a couple pair of boots last year, though not in NAS, where I tried on a bunch. They came to me anyway, and unsurprisingly, I like a stompy boot.&nbsp;</p> <p>Lisa - thanks. I like the cut outs of the black top. It was funny. I was encouraging Chris987 to try the top from Chico's because I've had good luck with the brand. But it wasn't until I saw the top on her that I realized I could picture it working in my wardrobe too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-nas-arrivals#post-2365218 Sun, 14 Jul 2024 19:14:45 +0000 Lisa 2365218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Silver shoes are lovely! I also like both tops, I have a soft spot for sheer or cut out tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-nas-arrivals#post-2365207 Sun, 14 Jul 2024 17:57:28 +0000 Carla 2365207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The squared off toe of those Mary Janes is such a good look! &nbsp;Too bad about the stompy shoes not working. You’ve got a good eye for cool shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-nas-arrivals#post-2365202 Sun, 14 Jul 2024 17:51:44 +0000 Suz 2365202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As usual, these are great reviews.&nbsp; FWIW, the similar Wit and Wisdom pants were a top pick last year and I got two pair. They had/ have very small pleats in the front so are slight different in that respect but otherwise look the same (though <b>Angie</b> will tell us more, I am sure). I got two pair and the fabrication is slightly different in each colorway, as is the sizing. I love these pants. I think they could be brilliant for your child if you get the sizing right. They wash like a dream. Best travelling pants ever. And unlike some knit pants I've had, they have not pilled up horribly, despite a lot of wear.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, I hear you on the shopping for one's child. I do this, too, and it is quite the process. First vetting the item visually, guestimating sizes, the ordering, the try-ons, the returns....</p> <p>Re the shoes, I LOVE the stompy ones and am so sorry they don't work, but I can empathize. I ordered Cole Haan oxfords that slipped too much on the heel and had to send them back. Their knit versions are fine but the leather ones just don't work on me.&nbsp;</p> <p>The silver shoes are fun, too. I have really enjoyed my silver flats. Of course for me they are bookending.&nbsp;</p> <p>You sound really excited about the tops and I like how both of these look. I have one top with sheer sleeves and it is a really nice change.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-nas-arrivals#post-2365187 Sun, 14 Jul 2024 16:33:37 +0000 delurked 2365187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - I think you are right about the silver flats. I tried without success to find just the right silver sandals this summer. And metallic shoes are having a big moment right now. It is kind of funny how much of a reaction my past silver tennis shoes garnered. I am just thankful that they are quite comfortable and that the straps keep them in place without me having to grip my toes so hard to keep them on. And thanks for the vote to keep both sheer tops. They are pretty different looking in person (again, I know the pics aren't great, but I wanted to include them in case they were helpful to anyone). I will outfit lab the tops when it's not so hot so that I have more knowledge ahead of time that helps me when getting dressed.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-nas-arrivals#post-2365185 Sun, 14 Jul 2024 16:23:43 +0000 Angie 2365185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lucky child who has a diligent Mama who shops for them! Thanks for the info.</p> <p><b>delurked</b>, the silver Mary Janes are KILLER fab on you! Yes, they are a top pick too LOVE! Super fun!</p> <p>Too bad the pearly oxfords slip off. They are stinking cute :(</p> <p>I vote keep both sheer blouses. Apples and oranges. GREAT on you and for your climate. Super pretty, timeless, and always fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-nas-arrivals#post-2365157 Sun, 14 Jul 2024 05:16:24 +0000 delurked 2365157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I received a few items today, while others have yet to ship.&nbsp;</p> <p>Firstly, I got a couple pair of the Wit &amp; Wisdom wide legged pants for my pear shaped kiddo, who was looking for a pair of work appropriate pants.&nbsp; I'd say it fits TTS. It does have a lot of stretch, so I'm sure some will size down, but it really depends on how people like their pants to fit.</p> <p>I received the two pair of shoes that I ordered.&nbsp;</p> <p>The Dolce Vita silver flat fits well. It's a bit of a pain to do up the double buckle, but I don't feel too squeezed across the forefoot. I've got a medium width foot and a lower instep. The mary jane keeps me from slipping in the shoe. I am debating the silver or trying in the dark color. It's quite slick on the bottom of the shoe, so if I keep, I'll need to scuff them up a bit on the sole first.</p> <p>The Charles David derby shoe is a fabulous and well made stompy shoe that calls to me. It is right up my alley, but it has the fatal flaw in that it slips a lot in the heel. An unacceptable amount. I don't think I can overcome it because often if I were to put an insert in, it would just raise my foot more and lead to further slipping.&nbsp;</p> <p>The sheer top is a lot of fun and reminds me so much of a top I wore back in the 90s. It's a longer top, which is a nice change from all the short tops I'm seeing this year. I will need to outfit lab this top because I can see it being a bit of work to find the combinations that I like. It could tuck in well for others, though I'm not much into tucking in tops. I went with the larger of the sizes I'm between because of my broad shoulders. I won't chase the smaller size to compare because the sheer top lays without added volume in the size I got.</p> <p>Also, I saw the Chico's sheer patterned top that Chris987 purchased, and I decided to lemming her. They were a bit low on sizes, so I ordered what may be a too large size. The smaller size came back into stock and I ordered it, but it hasn't arrived yet. What I like about this shorter length is that I can see it being a flattering length with many of the skirts I wear. I can also see wearing it over a tank dress I own.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am not sure I need to go from zero to two sheer black tops, so I may decide between the two black tops for which I'd get more use out of.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have a few more tops arriving at some point.&nbsp;</p> <p>I welcome your feedback.</p> <p>It's a shame about the Charles David shoes because I LOVE the way they look. Also, I personally like the way the black shoes look compared to silver with the all black outfits. Usually with black I will wear black shoes or tan shoes that elongate. I would likely wear silver shoes more with some of my lighter colored dresses.&nbsp; </p> </p> <p>ETA: I received 2 Eileen Fisher tees. Both are a substantial tencel knit material that feel like good quality. The short sleeve tee, I ordered 2 sizes, and the smaller one is the one that fits best. I didn't even take the other out of the packaging. Love the color. It's a bit shorter than the long sleeve top, and it's a beautiful color. Will work well for me with either skirts or pants. Definitely a boxy fit, which works for me if at the right length. The other is long sleeved and I just ordered it in the larger size I'm between (which is what I typically take in EF). It's fine. It's a bit longer, and the length makes it boxy in not a great way. It's too expensive for just ok, so I'll be returning it. But it's a very pretty color and it's pretty clearly nice quality. I wear short sleeves way more than long sleeves, so this works for me. I'm just trying it on at night, and will give the short sleeve tee another try on to make sure because this brand is pricy for me.</p>
