The Edith jacket looks amazing and I like the sweater with the lace bottom detail, hoping it works out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-10-1#post-1831992 Tue, 01 Aug 2017 14:25:01 +0000 Susie 1831992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BG, I'm so glad you found the sweater- I hope you love it!</p> <p>Angie, thank you!!

I refreshed the page and one had come back in. I jumped on it as soon as I saw it but it was already gone. At that point I called my local store and they looked for it for me. They didn't have it in stock but found it at other stores. There were of course just a very few left so I've ordered it in two sizes to try on for fit. Nordstrom customer service really is the best. The saleswoman was so helpful.&nbsp;</p> <p>Suzie, thanks for posting your gorgeous picks. I never would have seen the sweater otherwise, and I am THRILLED! Plus what a great wardrobe refresh for you, all those lovely items.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have been a daily YLF reader for several years, but I am brand-new to the forum, I just joined on Sunday. Already I can really see the value! Plus it's fun to be part of the community. I've only bought a few NAS items this year, but once the sweater has arrived, I'll post my own update with some photos. In addition to the sweater being shipped, I bought a dress and the Gentle Souls sneaker booties in two different colors (!). More about that when I post.&nbsp;</p> <p>Have fun, everyone. I do hope they restock the sweater for others who want it. At the very least, I'll be returning one of the two I ordered.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-10-1#post-1831650 Mon, 31 Jul 2017 15:20:09 +0000 Susie 1831650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Style Fan- thank you...I agree that they are magic jeans!</p> <p>Dianna- I decided to keep the TB sweater; I really like it too. (And hubs liked it so it's staying)</p> <p>Kelly, you are so sweet, thank you! I love that so many of the things do feel special. Those seem to be my best bets for NAS. And I agree that the green (teal) coat is&nbsp;beautiful (an Angie top pick.)&nbsp;But that's one I'm not keeping as the other coat was more flattering on. </p> <p>Momo and Lisa, thank you! Lisa, you have such great style so you saying you would wear them thrills me!]</p> <p>Kerry, I will have a long wait for some of them. I don't want summer to be over but I love fall clothes so I do look forward to wearing them. </p> <p>Sharan, I did very well indeed. There's a ton going back but it was worth all of the trying and returns because my wardrobe is in really good shape now. </p> <p>Berkeley Girl, several people seem to love that sweater so I guess it was lucky that I ordered it the first day. Fingers crossed they restock!</p> <p>JAileen, I was amazed too! It's a big haul but I really like everything and I think every piece should work well.</p> <p></p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-10-1#post-1831647 Mon, 31 Jul 2017 14:50:47 +0000 JAileen 1831647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm amazed at how many great things you found. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-10-1#post-1831560 Mon, 31 Jul 2017 07:11:08 +0000 Berkeley Girl 1831560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh that gorgeous TB sweater! I covet it. They are all sold out, hope it comes back in stock before the NAS is over...&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-10-1#post-1831541 Mon, 31 Jul 2017 03:57:24 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1831541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did very well, Susie!

I love all of your choices. I can't really get excited about cooler weather as then my holidays would be over but I can see why you'd be hoping for it so you could start wearing these great items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-10-1#post-1831209 Sat, 29 Jul 2017 23:49:48 +0000 Anonymous 1831209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - what a great grouping of clothes! &nbsp;I'd wear every single thing here. &nbsp;Nicely done &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-10-1#post-1831201 Sat, 29 Jul 2017 23:11:43 +0000 Momo 1831201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow what beautiful pieces !

I love everything. You have amazing taste! Every one of these pieces have subtle details that make them extraordinary! That green coat is to die for.

I like the detail too. It fits my desire for tops that are interesting on their own. </p> <p>Suz, you may certainly have credit for the jeans! I'm so glad I took a chance on them. I should have asked my sister to take a few photos because it will be a while before I wear some of them! But there are a few pieces to wear now. The peplum jacket is the softest cotton that could work for office AC but the cashmere will have to wait! </p> <p>Kkards, thank you! I couldn't find that! I renewed my love of jackets last year and I am so happy to add a few more. But time to be done now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-10-1#post-1831169 Sat, 29 Jul 2017 21:12:50 +0000 kkards 1831169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab! And I'm glad thst James Perse worked for so one. (Adding the find) in case you want to collect it). Love all the jackets you got..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-10-1#post-1831165 Sat, 29 Jul 2017 20:59:42 +0000 Suz 1831165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW, did you<b> EVER</b> have a great NAS!! Now I want to see some of those beauties on you, pretty please!!!&nbsp;</p> <p>Absolutely beautiful items and your descriptions have me wanting to collect them even though I don't have the slightest need for any!!&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, I'm so excited that you like the Cara jeans! I feel fab for finding them. Not really sale items, but hey...I am keeping anyway. And also taking credit for discovering them. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-10-1#post-1831157 Sat, 29 Jul 2017 20:35:06 +0000 Barbara Diane 1831157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of nice pieces. I love the details on the hem on the Ted Baker sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-10-1#post-1831131 Sat, 29 Jul 2017 18:22:14 +0000 Susie 1831131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so happy with my winners! I did a complete try on this morning of all the things I was considering. My sister was here and very helpful in helping me narrow down my choices. Though she was a bit of an enabler too! The only one she liked but didn't love is the Ted Baker sweater so I want to get DH's take on that one but I think it's a keeper. </p> <p>I actually ended up sticking pretty closely to the categories i initially wanted to target- shoes, coats, toppers and tops. And I always stay open to finding a great bag or pair of boots but I didn't have any winners there. I will shop locally in September for boots and a bag is not a need. </p> <p>A couple of these things were wild cards in that other fabbers liked them and I wanted to try them, even if I am not tall or thin or built anything like them! Like the COH jeans. They fit Angie and Suz...how can they fit me too?! A high rise jean that fits and actually makes my rear look good?! They must be magic! I love the thick denim and they will be a nice upgrade to a basic pair of Gap jeans. I recently got a pair of AG with a split hen so I am sorted on jeans for fall. </p> <p>And I didn't expect the Vince cold shoulder sweater to work but I love it! I don't need too many warm tops but this one will be a nice addition. The shoulder works whether open just a little or a little more exposed. So it's an interesing detail on an otherwise basic cozy black cashmere sweater which means I will wear it often. </p> <p>I couldn't be happier with the 3 toppers- RT tweed peplum jacket, Lafayette ink cardigan and the Lafayette ink tweed jacket. The 2 jackets fit beautifully and add great waist definition. The fabrics are gorgeous - The finds don't do them justice- and they are a perfect weight for my climate. The cardigan is more relaxed yet with enough structure. It has beautiful details with a knit front and matte silk back. Really lovely. </p> <p>The dolman sleeve silk top fills 2 needs beautifully- to wear with a pair of dressier black shorts I got this spring from Madewell and to have another short sleeve top to dress up white or blue jeans a bit for work. </p> <p>The burgundy boucle coat checks all the boxes- midweight, not black but not bright, streamlined style, good pockets, looks good open, dressy enough for work outfits. I also tried the green asymmetrical Angie pick ( in finds) which ticks many boxes too. But my sister and DH both thought that the burgundy is much more flattering and definitely my style. </p> <p>I don't have a find for the James Perse long black fleece 'blazer', I guess it's gone. For me, it's long enough to be a coat and I can layer it over a shirt or sweater. It will be the perfect weight casual coat. It was one of those things you put on and say YES! </p> <p>And finally, I am keeping both the Franco Sarto loafers in burgundy patent and the black Ecco sneakers. Both are comfortable and one casual and one work shoe are practical additions. </p> <p>I am in pretty good shape for pants but would love to find a pair in an ink pattern. And 1-2 pairs of shoes or boots are still on my list. Other than that, my wardrobe is ready for fall and winter. Which sadly is still several months away here with lots of hot weather left! </p> <p>Thanks for looking!</p> <p>TLDR: Susie had a successful NAS and will now take a shopping break! </p>
