Love the red coat/cape, it is truly Killer on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-rest-of-my-nas-purchases-i-need-your-help-with/page/2#post-382986 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 15:04:55 +0000 lynne 382986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That cape is spectacular. I think you'll be able to wear it for years and years because it's stylish rather than trendy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-rest-of-my-nas-purchases-i-need-your-help-with/page/2#post-382969 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 14:33:09 +0000 Sheila 382969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that cape on you! I'd say you were made for each other, so chic! It would have been a crime against humanity if you had returned it!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-rest-of-my-nas-purchases-i-need-your-help-with#post-382963 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 14:21:49 +0000 Sveta 382963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These skinnies have 32 1/2 inseams - I think I need at least 33 1/2 - 34 to have that scrunch, right?<br /> These bootcuts measure 34 1/2 and they are too short for 1 1/2 heel - even though my wide leg pants have the same inseam and work for 2 3/4 heel. I think my full thighs are the culprits here :-(<br /> I think I need at least 35 1/2 - 36 inseam for 2-2 3/4 heels in bootcuts or flares. Wide leg jeans may work with 34 1/2 - 35 if they are loose enough in the thighs.<br /> It is such a pain! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-rest-of-my-nas-purchases-i-need-your-help-with#post-382945 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 13:38:33 +0000 Angie 382945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, what inseam do you need on jeans? </p> <p>Nice blouse! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-rest-of-my-nas-purchases-i-need-your-help-with#post-382894 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 10:30:16 +0000 Sveta 382894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dianthus, that's an interesting thought - maybe it is me?<br /> Jonesy, good luck on Friday - are you going to Sommerset Collection too?<br /> Kyle, can you believe this but Canadian Gap and Banana Republic do not carry Tall sizes at all! We also do not have J Crew and Ann Taylor in Canada. I have tried Tall Girl but I do not like their jeans selection. I have tried Gap when I was shopping NAS but they do not carry Tall sizes in the store, only online. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-rest-of-my-nas-purchases-i-need-your-help-with#post-382866 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 05:47:22 +0000 Kyle 382866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, do you ever wear Tall jeans, like from Banana Republic, J Crew, Gap, Ann Taylor, etc.? I can rarely do any pant or jean that is not specifically a Tall size with a 35 or 36 inch inseam (maybe a little less with flats)...and I just really don't want to fight the whole length issue all the time. It's an uphill battle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-rest-of-my-nas-purchases-i-need-your-help-with#post-382824 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 03:07:14 +0000 Jonesy 382824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm late here, but I think it's smart to hold out for some better jeans! Both pairs are okay, but definitely not 10s, unlike the red cape/jacket, which is! I'm so sorry to hear you had such rotten luck, Sveta. I'm hoping they will have some decent stock when I venture there on Friday :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-rest-of-my-nas-purchases-i-need-your-help-with#post-382741 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 01:24:14 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 382741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am glad to hear you are keeping the red cape. I don't know you yet but when I saw you in it, I thought it was you. I think you have a great body and those jeans were not show-casing it properly. Good decision to go for 10. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-rest-of-my-nas-purchases-i-need-your-help-with#post-382733 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 01:15:01 +0000 Sveta 382733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - that red coat was a big success here - and I was thinking about returning it?! No way I am going to part with it now especially after Angie's comment!<br /> I have decided to return the jeans. Life is too short to keep anything which is not 10, right? Hopefully, I can find that elusive great fitting pair of jeans someday - or I would need to return this coat as I would not have what to wear it with!:-)<br /> sinead, this is so true, you cannot plan for everything but should keep an open mind, right? This coat in the catalog just did not make any impression on me and I was bypassing it on the hanger as well. I do not know what prompted me to take it to the dressing room - maybe that color boost was needed for my frustration or maybe little Angie was sitting on my shoulder? :-)<br /> Marianna, this cape would look great on you too: I think it requires height to look right. It may be too warm for Arizona though... I am hopeful that you will be luckier with footwear than I was.<br /> Sara, I would try Paige bootcuts if I come across them. I have tried some premium jeans before and find that Paige fits me better that CoH or 7FAM. They were too tight though and the store did not have he next size.<br /> DressLover, I hope that you are right and this coat will be in style for some time - I think I will risk it.<br /> Thanks, everybody! This makes me happier that my NAS experience was not a complete fiasco this year. I was thinking that was a mistake to go for pre-sale and I should have gone for the 15th as before - but I got the last coat in the store in any size! This is my silver lining! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-rest-of-my-nas-purchases-i-need-your-help-with#post-382568 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 19:29:10 +0000 Aparna 382568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket is gorgeousnesss....KEEP </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-rest-of-my-nas-purchases-i-need-your-help-with#post-382533 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 18:30:17 +0000 Scarlet 382533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KEEP THE JACKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /> I can't concentrate on anything else right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-rest-of-my-nas-purchases-i-need-your-help-with#post-382525 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 18:23:41 +0000 Anonymous 382525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! you in that red cape! Those Paige jeans that MNsara linded to look like they are well worth trying. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-rest-of-my-nas-purchases-i-need-your-help-with#post-382515 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 18:14:54 +0000 Heather 382515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I gasped aloud when I saw you in that red cape. Holy Wow! You look smokin'!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-rest-of-my-nas-purchases-i-need-your-help-with#post-382511 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 18:13:13 +0000 Ginny 382511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first pair of jeans the dark ones, and the cape is terrific on you!! You rock the red!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-rest-of-my-nas-purchases-i-need-your-help-with#post-382458 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 17:06:03 +0000 DressLover 382458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, don't you dare return that red cape coat! That is truly one stunning piece. I don't think it matters what the current trends are as you wear that coat so well that it will probably be a classic, statement piece for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-rest-of-my-nas-purchases-i-need-your-help-with#post-382441 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 16:41:08 +0000 sarah 382441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Sveta, that cape is so fantastic on you! If the jeans aren't 10's, I wouldn't keep them. The Kuts look a bit short to me, actually. The flares don't look too short to me, but I'll have to take your word for it. I definitely wouldn't get jeans that you can't wear with most of your shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-rest-of-my-nas-purchases-i-need-your-help-with#post-382394 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 15:01:39 +0000 Erin 382394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that the cape is amazing and very, very classic. Think Jackie O. KEEP!!!!</p> <p>I prefer the 1st jears out of the 2 pair as long as they are long enough to suit you. I do not find the 2nd pair as flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-rest-of-my-nas-purchases-i-need-your-help-with#post-382393 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 14:58:10 +0000 Debbie 382393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that cape on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-rest-of-my-nas-purchases-i-need-your-help-with#post-382379 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 14:45:06 +0000 MNsara 382379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cape and the red together make that an incredible piece on you! Keep and wear and look fab every time :-)</p> <p>The Kuts seem to be almost too short now - before any washing but that might be the pic, so hopefully you can tell.</p> <p>I think I prefer the Rivet &amp; blue ones, but I see what you mean about the one leg. I think I can see that the left side of your waistband sits higher than the right side (if the pic is accurate), so maybe that's where it starts. . . gaaah! jeans can be SO hard! </p> <p>Have you given Paige Hidden Hills a try? I have been slowly swayed over by Angie's recommendations and all the YLFers comments about them. I just ordered a pair from amazon and am quite impressed. Angie always includes the 'size up' comment, so I got the larger of the two sizes I usually wear. . .</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Paige-Premium-Denim-Womens-Hidden/dp/B003BEEGAM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1310395557&#038;sr=8-1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Paige-Pr.....038;sr=8-1</a></p> <p>just in case. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-rest-of-my-nas-purchases-i-need-your-help-with#post-382364 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 14:30:21 +0000 Queen Mum 382364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>keep the cape! it looks fabulous on you.<br /> I"m not sure I'd advise to keep either of the jeans. The Kuts are fine, but I think you could do better to find a pair that is just a tad longer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-rest-of-my-nas-purchases-i-need-your-help-with#post-382356 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 14:16:51 +0000 modgrl 382356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That cape is amazing on you!! What a great find!!</p> <p>I like both of the jeans. I think the skinny's could be very versatile because you can wear them with flats, pumps and tucked into tall boots. I also like the boot cuts but the length is a problem. If you can't wear them with your normal shoes, I would return them and look for a longer pair. I wouldn't get so wrapped up in the inseam measurement; the cut of the legs can vary slightly from pair to pair, even in the same style and this will affect where they fall. If you can commit to wearing them with only flats or 1" heels, I think they are very nice. Otherwise return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-rest-of-my-nas-purchases-i-need-your-help-with#post-382164 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 03:27:44 +0000 Angie 382164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't get past the cape to look at the other items just yet. Good grief, Sveta!!!</p> <p>KILLER to the power of KILLER. </p> <p>One of the very best here on YLF, ever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-rest-of-my-nas-purchases-i-need-your-help-with#post-382156 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 03:17:41 +0000 san 382156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the cape/coat. The jeans were not the best in my book and I'm sure this is purely personal preference. I don't care for white stitching on jeans and the second pair gave me the impression of being too short, and a deeper color could be more sophistcated for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-rest-of-my-nas-purchases-i-need-your-help-with#post-382151 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 03:11:07 +0000 marianna 382151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the cape on you. A cape is on my list too.</p> <p>I'm torn on the jeans... they're both nice, but I'm not blown away, you know? So I'm not sure!</p> <p>I've been following your other threads and I'm so bummed there wasn't a big shoe selection in our size! I haven't had a chance to look yet... I hope my store has more options! But from what I've heard from you and others, I'm not too confident. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-rest-of-my-nas-purchases-i-need-your-help-with#post-382145 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 02:52:20 +0000 sinead 382145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems like the jeans would work for different purposes (and, FWIW, my hems are always uneven and I think it's an uneven leg issue for me. Frustrating, but pretty common)<br /> AND- that red cape/coat is gorgeous!! That is such a great impulse purchase. I'm convinced great pieces like this are hard to plan- sometimes you just have to go in and try something unplanned for- and then let yourself get it. Good job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-rest-of-my-nas-purchases-i-need-your-help-with#post-382137 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 02:38:55 +0000 yellowgirl 382137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the cape on you! I also bought a cape as NAS - the Halogen one in camel. I haven't decided yet whether I'm keeping it or not. This red looks amazing on you - definitely a keeper! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-rest-of-my-nas-purchases-i-need-your-help-with#post-382131 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 02:11:19 +0000 rae 382131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also am not qualified to give advice on jeans unless I've owned the exact brand and style, but the cape coat is amazing! A statement item, but also with very classy lines. Love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-rest-of-my-nas-purchases-i-need-your-help-with#post-382130 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 02:10:18 +0000 Sveta 382130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Gingko, it makes me feel better about my impulse purchase! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-rest-of-my-nas-purchases-i-need-your-help-with#post-382125 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 02:04:28 +0000 Ginkgo 382125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not a jeans specialist, will leave that to others, but the cape is absolutely "wowza" on you! The color, the style, the way it looks on you -- it's perfect! I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of you wearing it this winter. </p>
