I am waiting on some things that I will definitely want to keep&nbsp;if they fit well, so I will have some choices to make. Pants have to be a priority...2 years ago, I had a great selection of fall/winter pants but most were size 14 and they are just too big now. I have some from last year that fit properly but the 2 here- black dressier flares and olive jeans- are much needed additions. </p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-keepers#post-1701907 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 14:37:28 +0000 Glory 1701907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What wonderful taste you have. I love all of it, especially the sweater and the red tunic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-keepers#post-1701523 Sun, 24 Jul 2016 22:54:13 +0000 Angie 1701523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another successful NAS, Susie. Thanks for the validation, and enjoy your new treasures. I bet you look stunning in them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-keepers#post-1701011 Sun, 24 Jul 2016 01:55:44 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1701011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the Lafayette sweater, and in general the palette you've picked. I will look forward to seeing how you work with these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-keepers#post-1700982 Sun, 24 Jul 2016 01:21:15 +0000 Staysfit 1700982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely items! The Lafayette sweater is particularly nice. I have the Trouve sweater in charcoal. I really like the red too. It's a great piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-keepers#post-1700958 Sun, 24 Jul 2016 00:46:42 +0000 dakotacheryl 1700958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous keepers here..love the in depth review! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-keepers#post-1700897 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 23:23:32 +0000 Susie 1700897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AviaMariah, I think you made the right call on the regular. I am only 5'1" and I wouldn't want them any shorter. They really are nice pants. </p> <p>Sterling and Nadya, thank you! I might have some tough choices to make if I love the rest of the things I'm waiting on. But I like the idea of doing the majority of my shopping at once, as it helps to see how things work together. </p> <p>Jen, thank you, I've been quite pleased with the quality of Lafayette. </p> <p>Delurked, the fit is slim but not overly tight at all. Some skinnies are too snug on my calves but these don't cling. Jeans are often too loose in the thighs if they fit me in the waist and tummy; these are nicely fitted but not skin tight.</p> <p>Carter, the jeans were a great find. I do need pants and I love the color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-keepers#post-1700818 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 21:07:38 +0000 AviaMariah 1700818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You always have a great haul and it seems like we always pick some of the same things; probably because we're both shopping petite (and both have great taste of course). &nbsp;That </p> <p>Lafayette sweater is really great. &nbsp;Smart you shopping the sale first thing. &nbsp;I also ordered the flare trousers. &nbsp;I ordered two sizes but in the regular. &nbsp;Now I'm wondering if I should have tried petite also. &nbsp;I usually right between regular and petite in trousers if I want PPL. &nbsp;I just hope I don't lose too much of the flare if I have to hem them. &nbsp;<br />Those leather jackets are great too!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-keepers#post-1700791 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 19:59:43 +0000 Anonymous 1700791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great, great job, Susie. &nbsp;Congratulations to you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-keepers#post-1700787 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 19:56:28 +0000 Nadya 1700787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it all. That tunic is lovely and I so wish the Kut olive jeans came in my size. &nbsp;I enjoyed reading your "reject" thread and this one to see how you decided what to keep. I'm returning two things today because I realized one would be a duplicate, and one is close, but not perfect. You're setting a good example! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-keepers#post-1700786 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 19:55:10 +0000 jenanded 1700786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice finds. Great to hear you like the Lafayette jumper... its a new to me brand and as yet still only in catalogue from afar so I haven't seen in real life. Can't wait to see your pieces in action </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-keepers#post-1700772 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 19:17:59 +0000 Anonymous 1700772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good you got some nice stuff. Those pants seem like a real workhorse item. How did you find the olive skinnies on the legs and calves and the rise? Slim, or quite tight? I believe I've tried on that brand before, but I don't own anything from them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-keepers#post-1700749 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 18:40:50 +0000 carter 1700749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! You have some great items! They look very happy in their new home. So glad the KUTs were keepers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-keepers#post-1700746 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 18:36:02 +0000 Suz 1700746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right, good point, Susie. But thanks for that number. It's amazing how quickly certain items disappeared. I will look forward to seeing &nbsp;you model it!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-keepers#post-1700745 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 18:34:38 +0000 Susie 1700745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Suz! I pulled out my slips and the sweater is item# 515572. Their sizing is generous so i wonder if even an XS would work for you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-keepers#post-1700738 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 18:26:30 +0000 Suz 1700738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Susie, that Layfayette sweater is gorgeous!! I wish I had seen it -- so so lovely!!&nbsp;</p> <p>Do you have the item number? I'm wondering if the Canadian stores are carrying and if it is on sale here.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love the other items also and they definitely look at home in your closet and great for your style. Fab choices.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-keepers#post-1700731 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 18:18:38 +0000 Susie 1700731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's a lot going back but I am really pleased with my keepers so far. </p> <p>Trouvé tunic in red- this style is a workhorse for me and it's a perfect weight for fall and early winter. I like the asymmetrical hem and its simplicity makes it easy to wear with different bottoms from white jeans to pattern leggings and easy to accessorize. </p> <p>KUT olive jeans- I ordered these in 2 sizes and the smaller size (10) fit really well and I love the color. These are definitely staying. </p> <p>Classiques flare leg trousers- these are divine! Thank you, Angie, for your recommendation of this top pick! The fabric is beautiful and the width of the flare is perfect. The size 10 would have worked in the hips but was too tight at the waist. Yet the hips and legs still fit fine in the 12 and the waist is perfect. And they are petite so no hemming. These are a super addition to my wardrobe. </p> <p>I don't have finds for these but I included pictures:</p> <p>Halogen collarless leather jacket- I ordered 2 other leather jackets (also petite) and was amazed that all 3 fit!<br /> I am returning the 2 in finds - The quilted one has the ponte panels on the sleeves which I didn't care for. The pieced leather one- a top pick- is very nice and Angie was spot on in recommending it for petite apples. I would like it as a casual lightweight outer wear jacket. But the one I am keeping is very soft, more refined and I love how it feels. I am so thrilled to find a leather jacket I love, and that I can wear for work, at a good price. </p> <p>I ordered this Lafayette 148 sweater in 2 sizes. While the medium fit, I preferred the large for a slightly looser fit. I love this!! I ordered it the first day and now it seems to have disappeared from the website. It's pricey but it's 'statementy' enough to be worth it. Some of my very best NAS purchases have been Lafayette sweaters and I am confident this one will be a favorite too. </p> <p>The black knit tunic is one of the easy on the budget pieces that will be perfect for fall casual /lounge. </p> <p>I am also considering a ribbed cashmere poncho in black that would replace one that has gotten rather worn. I am waiting to decide on this since I also ordered the cashmere wrap in burgundy. </p> <p>(I included a photo of all of these hanging together in my closet, just to see If they look at home!)</p> <p>I am still waiting on several things that I am super excited about so the keeper list could change! </p>
