I like the jacket and tank very much. Thanks for sharing, Sylvie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sylvie-nas-2016-first-pass#post-1699859 Fri, 22 Jul 2016 15:09:55 +0000 Sylvie 1699859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie: Thanks re: TB top. Re: Zella top, the immediate wearing shows just how much I needed it.</p> <p>Suz: Hmm, now I'm considering keeping the Leith top. The only other color is navy stripe and this does fit.</p> <p>Amy: Thanks for your kind words. I really enjoyed seeing your picks.</p> <p> Added photos of the madewell jacket + vc2 sleeveless top if anyone wants to see them on a body. Leaning towards keeping the top and returning jacket.</p> <p>Second half of NAS order arrives tonight so I'll start another thread for that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sylvie-nas-2016-first-pass#post-1699279 Thu, 21 Jul 2016 20:51:36 +0000 Amy 1699279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great tops, Sylvie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sylvie-nas-2016-first-pass#post-1699218 Thu, 21 Jul 2016 19:23:55 +0000 Suz 1699218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sylvie, the Ted Baker is dreamy on you!! Keep for sure!!</p> <p>I also jumped right to the Leith crossover top. It's superb on you. You MUST get this in another colour if you do not care for that colour.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sylvie-nas-2016-first-pass#post-1699186 Thu, 21 Jul 2016 18:31:05 +0000 Angie 1699186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Ted Baker tee is gorgeous on you, Sylvie. Great length and curved hem. Fun with the olive jeans.&nbsp;</p> <p>Great that the Zella tank was worn right away. GO TEAM WEAR. I wore my adidas twinset a few days in too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sylvie-nas-2016-first-pass#post-1699052 Thu, 21 Jul 2016 15:38:52 +0000 Sylvie 1699052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I should warn you that I am a member of the cookie monster family. Yay cookies!</p> <p>All photos with green Hudson jeans</p> <p>1) DVF sweater<br /> 2) BP pullover<br /> 3) Forgot to include in finds. This is the Leith crossover top. I didn't like the color that much but I hope to find this silhouette in black.<br /> 4) EF red silk tee<br /> 5) Ted baker tee </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sylvie-nas-2016-first-pass#post-1699045 Thu, 21 Jul 2016 15:31:40 +0000 Sylvie 1699045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachel: Do you have the one that had shiny fabric - from 2 or 3 years ago? I have that one and it is an absolute workhorse for me but getting ratty and I need a replacement.</p> <p>Natalie: Keeping 1-3. Debating on 4-8, depending on how other NAS items work out.</p> <p>Sterling: it isn't safe for my work because of the print - or let's say I'm not willing to defy my environmental norm that much. Also I am a petite and shaped in such a way that necklines are lower on me than average. So the blouse may very well be safe for you.</p> <p>Colette: It runs true to size for zella if you want a looser fit. I found both a small and medium worked on me depending on whether I wanted a conventional fit or a dancer-ish fit.</p> <p>Nicole: I could layer a CAMI but still debating if the blouse is worth it.</p> <p>Sylvie: great choice of name!</p> <p>Suz: Thanks! I looked at altering the dress but the sleeves would not have cooperated.</p> <p>(Adding photos in next post) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sylvie-nas-2016-first-pass#post-1698965 Thu, 21 Jul 2016 14:04:46 +0000 Suz 1698965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see these colours working for you, Sylvie. Shame about the BCBG dress because it's so pretty.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sylvie-nas-2016-first-pass#post-1698955 Thu, 21 Jul 2016 13:52:23 +0000 sylvie55 1698955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello Other Sylvie! You got some gorgeous stuff. Love the floral top.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sylvie-nas-2016-first-pass#post-1698933 Thu, 21 Jul 2016 13:26:01 +0000 nicoleb 1698933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing your thoughts on all of these! If i still had an office job i'd be all over that equipment blouse; love the print! Can you layer a cami underneath? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sylvie-nas-2016-first-pass#post-1698928 Thu, 21 Jul 2016 13:17:18 +0000 Colette 1698928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your reviews. How is the sizing on the Zella tank? I completely overlooked My need for a gear tank because I was focused on getting the Zella crops I had on my list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sylvie-nas-2016-first-pass#post-1698830 Thu, 21 Jul 2016 09:20:20 +0000 Anonymous 1698830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great reviews. &nbsp;So helpful. &nbsp;</p> <p>I was sorry to hear that the Equipment blouse wasn't safe for work. &nbsp;I suspected that was the case, but I was hopeful. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sylvie-nas-2016-first-pass#post-1698823 Thu, 21 Jul 2016 08:59:38 +0000 goldenpig 1698823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1-8. Which ones are you keeping? I remember trying on a quilted black Zella jacket like that one at NAS a few years ago. I didn't keep because I felt like I was wearing a Hefty garbage bag. But my UWP persona was not developed at that time, so I'm wondering how I'd feel if I tried it on now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sylvie-nas-2016-first-pass#post-1698818 Thu, 21 Jul 2016 08:36:52 +0000 rachylou 1698818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a Zella like the one you got, but from a previous year. It was good that year. A little sad to hear this one didn't work...but horses for courses, yes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sylvie-nas-2016-first-pass#post-1698805 Thu, 21 Jul 2016 06:42:52 +0000 Sylvie 1698805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(Modeled photos are down thread) Here's my opinionated review of what's arrived so far, roughly from 'best' to 'worst'</p> <p>1) Zella Tank: Definite keep.  Tore off the tags and wore it immediately.  Ordering a second one.<br /> 2) Ted Baker top: Keeping.  Beautiful floral. Might try a size down.<br /> 3) DVF Sweater: Pretty.  Pricey. Will keep if can fit into budget.<br /> 4) Madewell jacket: Good fit considering it is not a petite.  The drawstring doesn't hit my hips.  Might be just a little too casual.<br /> 5) Hudson jeans: They're a little stretchier than I prefer (92% cotton) but wearable.  Will keep whichever is better between these and R&amp;B burgundy jeans.<br /> 6) EF top: Fits+flatters, but looks a little corporate.<br /> 7) Equipment blouse: Pretty print but I ordered the wrong (smaller) size and the neckline was too low for me.  Undecided whether to try ordering larger size and wear with cami.  It's not work-safe so would have to be saved for date nights.</p> <p>8) VC2 top: Fits + looks good by itself.  Not sure if it's going to be layering-friendly with my existing toppers.  Also, trying to decide if I like the fabric.</p> <p>9) BCBG dress: I need a petite in this one but it doesn't exist. <br /> 10) CE shell: Really weird fit on me, which is unusual for CE.<br /> 11) Zella jacket: Felt too poufy and crinkly<br /> 12) VC shirt: Looks good but felt itchy.<br /> 13) BP pullover: Wide body+narrow sleeves, which is a silhouette that normally works for me, but this just didn't drape right.<br /> 14) Trouve tank: Band at cutout sides does not cover bra.  Did not like edging.</p> <p>Please ask away if you want to know anything about these items. </p>
