You look fantastic in the winners. Those loafers are gorgeous on you. And like Kyle, I see it's an evolution from where you started with the wish list. NAS can often work that way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/think-pink-1/page/2#post-2331727 Sat, 22 Jul 2023 20:08:42 +0000 Angie 2331727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know, right,<b> Laura</b>? Exactly!</p> <p>You just NEVER know what NAS stuff you will end up with despite good planning, decision making, and stalking. It's all very thrilling to me (and my clients!) - and super fun if you stay chill and keep expectations low ;)</p> <p>You also make 119F heat look like a breeze..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/think-pink-1/page/2#post-2331720 Sat, 22 Jul 2023 19:34:09 +0000 Laura 2331720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's right, Angie! Ha! The thrill of NAS victories and the agonies of NAS defeats would make quite a story This year in particular, who would guess that Aquatalia would produce one of the biggest winners (your tall boots) and the biggest disappointments (those darned painful loafers). Plenty of drama and plenty of happy endings too.</p> <p>Kyle, you're sweet! Thank you for all the nice things you've said and for checking items out in store. I did shift gears considerably from the original pink idea! That's NAS for ya. It inevitably evolves as you find items that work.&nbsp;</p> <p>Kellygirl, I love instant outfits. Because my work is in a completely different climate and I only visit once a year, I don't need many work clothes, but at the same time I'm probably the oldest person in our office and I need to look up to date! Out of curiosity, why are you in a no-buy for work mode?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/think-pink-1/page/2#post-2331717 Sat, 22 Jul 2023 19:26:20 +0000 Angie 2331717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm smiling :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/think-pink-1/page/2#post-2331677 Sat, 22 Jul 2023 15:57:20 +0000 kellygirl 2331677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha! Likewise. I thought I was so clever to put the blouse and jacket together with the pants! Angie had already done that with clients. It's such a fab instant outfit. I considered it for myself but I'm in a no more buy for work state of mind!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/think-pink-1/page/2#post-2331675 Sat, 22 Jul 2023 15:52:56 +0000 Kyle 2331675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Laura</b>, I’m so happy you’ve found items that will work so well for you. A far cry from the original pink capsule and that’s OK. It just goes to show you how the shopping process evolves as we try things and shift gears based on what fits and works best for our lifestyle and wardrobe. You managed that perfectly. I LOVE the way the colors in the top complement your gorgeous hair color and cut. It looks like it was made for you. And it’s no small feat to buy pants online and have them fit and look this good. <b>Angie</b> makes that process easier for us, though, doesn’t she? Her recommendations are always so spot on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/think-pink-1/page/2#post-2331671 Sat, 22 Jul 2023 15:41:07 +0000 Angie 2331671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Always a pleasure, sweet <b>Laura</b> :)</p> <p>We could write a book on our NAS adventures... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/think-pink-1/page/2#post-2331670 Sat, 22 Jul 2023 15:39:20 +0000 Laura 2331670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All top picks for the win!</p> <p>Kellygirl, I'm chuckling because I thought I'd struck upon this outfit myself. Had no idea until I checked your thread that your mom will be sporting the same -- or that Angie had clients in this blouse and jacket combo. High five to your sweet mom!&nbsp;</p> <p>Delurked, yes, the shoulders are fairly fitted. The sleeves run long (and I think the blouse is designed that way) so sizing down really helped me. But if you have longer arms than I do, probably sizing down one size is enough. Hope you have good luck with the pants! I'm not a pants person, and even I like these.</p> <p>Suz, thanks for the kind words. I could see you in these items too!</p> <p>Angie, I will try cuffing the sleeves. That should do it. Good point about creaseless items - the pants are going to be perfect for work travel. And thanks for another great NAS. Very pleased with my new items!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/think-pink-1/page/2#post-2331661 Sat, 22 Jul 2023 14:39:24 +0000 Angie 2331661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Laura</b>, the dresses weren't good enough for your fab self. Next!&nbsp;</p> <p>KILLER DP loafers! WOW! Love!</p> <p>And aren't you gorgeous in all the top picks! KILLER cute! Perfect for work travel. No creasing :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Try cuffing the sleeves of the jacket once. Might help just enough.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/think-pink-1/page/2#post-2331628 Sat, 22 Jul 2023 03:57:28 +0000 Suz 2331628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great outfit! The blouse is beautiful on you! And so are the pants, of course! If I were shopping the sale this year, those are items I would want to try as well. Shoes look fantastic with this, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/think-pink-1/page/2#post-2331627 Sat, 22 Jul 2023 03:48:37 +0000 delurked 2331627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these. The shoes are fun. I'm curious about the sizing down in the top. Is it very fitted through the shoulder? I've ordered the pants, and they are en route, so I hope I have as much success with them as everyone else seems to be having. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/think-pink-1/page/2#post-2331626 Sat, 22 Jul 2023 03:04:55 +0000 kellygirl 2331626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic! That blouse is so pretty! You and my mom will be twinning although she’s probably twice your age! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/think-pink-1/page/2#post-2331623 Sat, 22 Jul 2023 02:30:22 +0000 Laura 2331623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More items arrived and we have some winners! Like everyone else has said, the Wit &amp; Wisdom pants are fantastic. Perfect fit, new full length on me in the petite size and I can use them when I travel to DC for work in September. In a happy accident, the NYDJ blouse matches beautifully (I sized down two sizes per Angie's recommendation), as does the Kut from the Kloth faux suede jacket. And I added the new red Donald Pliner loafers for something a little unexpected.</p> <p>All the items fit well except for the Kut jacket's sleeves. I wish the jacket came in petite! Photo #3 shows the sleeves. Definitely needs an alteration to shorten them - but I think it’s worth doing if alterations can manage it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/think-pink-1/page/2#post-2331083 Wed, 19 Jul 2023 01:39:41 +0000 Laura 2331083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Suz! I've had platinum hair for a year now and intend to keep it going as long as my scalp cooperates.</p> <p>I always hope for a dress at the sale ... some years are good dress years and other years, not so much. The loafers are 1,000,000% more comfortable than the Aquatalias. Fingers crossed that sizing up does the trick! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/think-pink-1/page/2#post-2331079 Wed, 19 Jul 2023 01:21:20 +0000 Suz 2331079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh...that's such a shame about the dresses, Laura! It really wasn't a great dress year at the sale, it seems. But the loafers look promising. Also, I love your platinum hair!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/think-pink-1/page/2#post-2331077 Wed, 19 Jul 2023 00:54:51 +0000 Laura 2331077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Update! The two dresses and Donald Pliner loafers arrived. Good news first: the loafers are gorgeous in a crinkle patent. Right foot feels a little squeezed so I’m going to try half a size up. If I can make the fit work, they are keepers.</p> <p>The not-so-good news is both dresses are a no-go. The Rails dress is beautiful quality. The sleeves are too long which is an easy fix, but the top itself feels big too. I added shoulder pads and that helped a bit, but not enough to make it a slam dunk.</p> <p>Maggy London dress is so close to being a winner, but the top flops open. Even with a cami, it would still look strange. Such a bummer that there wasn’t a dress for me this year, but I have a few more items coming. So … Next! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/think-pink-1#post-2330596 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 17:13:08 +0000 Angie 2330596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know, right!!! Aquatalia boots are SOOOOO COMFY, but these loafers were terrible :(&nbsp;</p> <p>Hope the others work, sweet <b>Laura</b>!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/think-pink-1#post-2330592 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 16:41:52 +0000 Laura 2330592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Update: The Aquatalia loafers were so painful, I could hardly wait to remove them from my feet. Such a disappointment as the style and color were exactly what I was after. As Angie would say .... onward!</p> <p>I've ordered two more loafer options. Angie suggested red in the Donald Pliners and I agreed the red would be a fab addition as I have nothing like them. Could be fun! I think it was Sharan who posted that the Rag &amp; Bone are more stone-colored than camel in person, so I figured they were worth a try. Thank you, Sharan!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/think-pink-1#post-2330369 Fri, 14 Jul 2023 13:53:51 +0000 Angie 2330369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are right,<b> Laura!</b> You never know how the NAS will go.....HAH!&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm sure you'll end up with the best stuff though. You have impeccable taste and know your style!&nbsp;</p> <p>I've already had an order cancelled. Oh well! I'm VERY chill about it all! Has to stay fun </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/think-pink-1#post-2330287 Fri, 14 Jul 2023 00:24:13 +0000 Carla 2330287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are showing ++discipline,&nbsp;<b>Laura!</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/think-pink-1#post-2330269 Thu, 13 Jul 2023 22:29:23 +0000 Laura 2330269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I decided against the scarf and bag - at the moment, anyway! I felt I'd get more use from the loafers. But given Angie's experience with the loafers, they may be going back, and I might give the matching scarf and bag a try. You never know how NAS will go, do you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/think-pink-1#post-2330268 Thu, 13 Jul 2023 21:58:38 +0000 Kathie 2330268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So much fun to see how your choices evolved! Loafers are gorgeous. What did you decide about the Kate Spade matching scarf and bag? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/think-pink-1#post-2330264 Thu, 13 Jul 2023 21:44:09 +0000 Laura 2330264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sad to hear about the Aquatalias. How disappointing! I wanted to wear mine for traveling for work so if they're not 100% comfy ... it's a no.</p> <p>The short dress may be a case where being petite is a big help. We'll see! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/think-pink-1#post-2330193 Thu, 13 Jul 2023 13:07:52 +0000 Angie 2330193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! I saw the denim dress. Short and fab quality :)</p> <p>I tried the Aquatalia loafers yesterday,<b> Laura</b>. Looked great! Very uncomfortable on my fussy feet :(&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/think-pink-1#post-2330004 Wed, 12 Jul 2023 14:38:12 +0000 Laura 2330004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Order placed! The Nic+Zoe jacket is already sold out, but I'll keep watching during the sale to see if it comes back in stock. Instead, I decided I should try two dresses -- because what's NAS without a dress purchase? Ha! And I realized that my American Eagle lounge set could use replacing, so I ordered the Spiritual Gangster set Angie had in her thread. The estimated dates for the first items I ordered to arrive are surprisingly quick -- this Saturday! Then when I ordered this morning, the items are not estimated to arrive until next Saturday.&nbsp;</p> <p>Look forward to seeing everyone's choices!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/think-pink-1#post-2329962 Wed, 12 Jul 2023 04:51:30 +0000 Laura 2329962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree about warm pinks - I do like a good warm pink too and find it flattering. NAS is always a fun time to experiment with some new shades or shapes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/think-pink-1#post-2329944 Wed, 12 Jul 2023 01:56:51 +0000 Sal 2329944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the way the pink is in bold shapes and styles.</p> <p>Warm pinks are flattering on me - I have to be in the mood but when I am I love wearing them.</p> <p>Have fun trying all the pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/think-pink-1#post-2329927 Wed, 12 Jul 2023 00:31:22 +0000 Laura 2329927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High hopes for the loafers!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/think-pink-1#post-2329924 Wed, 12 Jul 2023 00:00:17 +0000 Angie 2329924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm LOVING IT!!!&nbsp;</p> <p>We might be loafer twins :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/think-pink-1#post-2329920 Tue, 11 Jul 2023 23:51:38 +0000 Laura 2329920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As always, my plans are changing as we near the sale. I do this every year! I'm still feeling a bit scattered about what I'm actually going to order tomorrow. </p> <p>Kyle checked out some of the items in store and was nice enough to send some photos. It helped so much! My latest thinking is to try a full-on, matchy-matchy complement of bag and scarf (since the original scarf I picked didn't match the solid pink bag very well - thanks for checking that out, Kyle!). The loafers and Nic+Zoe jacket are for a work trip in September.&nbsp;The dress is a bit of a wild card - not sure if the sleeves will be too long or if the skirt will be too short -- but it might work. As they say, let the games begin </p>
