For casual or work purposes?</p> <p>also, what are the sneaks you have on in the second photo? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/try-on-and-reviews1#post-2330701 Sun, 16 Jul 2023 12:51:05 +0000 Staysfit 2330701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Returning:</b>&nbsp; green Boss, plaid VB jackets, and&nbsp;the pleated white Nordstrom brand Poplin shirt.</p> <p><b>Keep if size works out:</b> I like the pink Nordstrom cashmere sweater, Zella zip Hoodie, VB jeans, and Barbour jacket but the fits are not quite right and I may do better with different sizes.&nbsp; I have been able to order smaller sizes for the hoodie and jacket and a larger pair of jeans.&nbsp; The cashmere sweater is currently sold out in size medium in my preferred color.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Warning to all</b>: <b>Nordstrom brand sizing may be inconsistent.&nbsp;</b> <b>The size small shirt was too large and the size small sweater was too small.&nbsp;</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Angie mentioned that the sweater runs large but not on me! LOL!&nbsp;&nbsp;I double-checked the sizes of my previous Nordstrom Brand cashmere sweaters and they are all small. I rechecked my measurements to see if my torso expanded but my torso/chest measurements are exactly the same. My replacement NAS Wacoal bras fit perfectly. I suppose my shoulders may be a bit broader from weight lifting.&nbsp; The shoulder fit on the sweater was snug and I thought the chest was also a bit snug.&nbsp; I am hopeful a medium will appear so I can try it, if not, I may try to block this sweater and gently stretch it so it fits.&nbsp; A benefit of knitting is I have learned how forgiving knits can be.&nbsp; I may be able to make it work!&nbsp; :-)</p> <p><b>Keeping:</b> Rag &amp; Bone striped shirt, VB gilet and coordinating jeans, Zella joggers and tee, VB leather jacket and dickey's</p> <p><b>Still unsure</b>: VB plaid pants....I need to create some outfits to see if it makes sense to keep these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/try-on-and-reviews1#post-2330696 Sun, 16 Jul 2023 11:00:27 +0000 Bijou 2330696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Photo 20 down all look amazing! The VB leather jacket is incredible and also the denim vest and jeans, wow absolutely stunning. The Barbour jacket looks like such a useful piece too and layers well over your leather blazer.</p> <p>I am now going to read other's comments.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/try-on-and-reviews1#post-2330685 Sun, 16 Jul 2023 05:25:48 +0000 Suz 2330685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I'm so glad you've figured out the poof issue on the gilet because that outfit is fantastic on you! Superb!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I am in agreement with all the other comments so far as well. The VB jeans (maybe in a size up), the pink sweater (ditto), the Zella items good if you get the size you want, and the suits not as stellar on you are others I've seen you wear. I do like the pants a lot and if they are lined and that is something that will increase your wears in winter, they're worth considering, regardless of the jacket.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am wishing we had the sale here in Canada just for the Barbour jacket. I have been looking for the exact thing for years. Ah, well.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/try-on-and-reviews1#post-2330677 Sun, 16 Jul 2023 04:03:30 +0000 Debbie 2330677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The last outfit is wonderful!

It’s stunning. I like the jeans, striped shirt and pink sweater too.</p> <p>I am not sure on the plaid suit- I like the longer cut jackets better. I think there will be a definite heck yes in the future! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/try-on-and-reviews1#post-2330654 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 22:54:46 +0000 LJP 2330654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the matching set in the last photos , and the jeans / striped shirt outfit although the jeans look a little snug ? . I also don’t think the white poplin shirt looks too big and is actually a cool style . Maybe the shoulders are too big ? I can’t really see the shoulder seam in these photos . I’m not a big fan of the suits on you - I think you can do better . Zella stuff is great . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/try-on-and-reviews1#post-2330652 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 22:44:59 +0000 Staysfit 2330652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Firecracker, fitting blazers is so tough. &nbsp;I do like the plaid VB trousers. &nbsp;They’re fully lined which is also very nice. &nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>Angie thanks for your sage advice. &nbsp;The pink cashmere sweater is currently sold out so I’m going to keep checking and hope it’s restocked&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/try-on-and-reviews1#post-2330649 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 22:36:50 +0000 Angie 2330649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aha!

(Looking at the diagonal lines from mid-shoulder line to under-arm.) The fit of those pants is amazing, though. You might bring the jacket to your tailor and see what they say.</div><div>The yoke front jeans look dynamite on you. Also the striped shirt. And the VB leather blazer is terrific!<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/try-on-and-reviews1#post-2330647 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 22:34:54 +0000 Staysfit 2330647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I retried the Gilet. I think the interior button may need some adjustment. It looks fine when open and I took a picture of it buttoned the opposite direction and it's much better than the correct direction. Poof very prominent when buttoned correctly and much less so the opposite way or when open. I think it's an easy fix. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/try-on-and-reviews1#post-2330646 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 22:33:19 +0000 Staysfit 2330646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I retried the Gilet.

Color is so gorgeous, and I hope you can get the top fit figured out. I like the Boss blazer, but like you, too short sleeves are just not acceptable. I have long arms and have gone years when I was younger putting up with too short sleeves.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the joggers too. I've ordered some. And of course, agree the leather blazer is great. &nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for sharing. This helps me with my own shopping.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/try-on-and-reviews1#post-2330637 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 21:42:38 +0000 delurked 2330637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm also not crazy about the green Boss jacket. I've seen far better on you.&nbsp;<br />I like the plaid pants and am neutral on the crop plaid jacket. I do like the bottoms better than the jacket though.<br />I like the shirt in pic 20 and the jogger in pic 1. Cute dickey. And also really love pic 32. I also like the jeans in pic 20.</p> <p>Looks like quite a few successful items to me.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/try-on-and-reviews1#post-2330636 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 21:31:11 +0000 Angie 2330636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colour of the pink sweater is sensational, <b>Staysfit</b>! Yes to trying a size up.&nbsp;</p> <p>YES the VB items fit soooo much better than the Boss items.&nbsp;</p> <p>LOVE the VB jeans and the striped R&amp;B shirt! KILLER items. LOVE!</p> <p>Pic #25 too!</p> <p>Personally, I think you suit the longer jackets better than the cropped one. I do understand the need for a change, though! :)</p> <p>Pic #32 is my FAVE!!! WOW!!! Not sure about the back fit of the gilet though. Is it suppose to pouf out like that? How does the gilet look open?&nbsp;</p> <p>Gorgeous haul! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/try-on-and-reviews1#post-2330635 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 21:31:04 +0000 Staysfit 2330635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, other than the leather VB blazer and the denim vest and matching jeans (which I love), I’m not sure whether these items are worth keeping. &nbsp;I think the issue at the back waist of the vest is a need to take it in a bit. &nbsp;I see the puffiness and it’s often something I need altered in fitted items. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/try-on-and-reviews1#post-2330633 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 21:27:15 +0000 Carla 2330633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m not sure if you are asking ‘keep/return’ but the leather VB jacket is * chef’s kiss*. &nbsp;I love, love, love the ‘matched set’ in the last pics. &nbsp;The colour is amazing on you. &nbsp;There’s something a little odd at the back waist of the vest, though, and I’m wondering if it’s something a tailor can sort out? &nbsp;Otherwise - perfection!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/try-on-and-reviews1#post-2330631 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 21:19:30 +0000 Staysfit 2330631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have receiveded three boxes of sale items and am still waiting on a couple items. Here is what I think so far:<br /> 1. Zella live in joggers, performance tee and Amazing Fleece full zip hoodie- The hoodie is a bit roomy. It has nice zippers on the side and is so very soft. The joggers are silky and very comfy. Overall, I am very happy with these. I ordered the smaller sized hoodie for comparison. It's on the way...<br /> 2. Nordstrom Cashmere Crewneck sweater. Maybe I need this one size larger? I'm also not sure about this color and find myself wishing I had ordered the purple. It's currently sold out in both the pink and purple in size medium. I'm wearing this with my JBrand wide leg jeans. Maybe I should try a different pair of jeans? Lower waisted...these are very high waisted.<br /> 3. Nordstrom Pleat detail cotton poplin button up shirt- LOL...not for me but I thought I would show everyone. This is the size small and it's HUGE in the shoulders and torso. If I went down a size the sleeves would be too short. Returning....</p> <p>I'm wearing this with the Veronica Beard Beverly Yoke Front wide leg jeans indigo rinse. What do you think of the jeans?<br /> 4.Boss Janorda Double Breasted Blazer in two sizes. I really want to love this because I love the color and the style however to get sleeves that fit I need the size 8 and it's obviously too wide for me. It may be hard to see in the picture however the size 6 sleeves are about a half an inch too short. Neither size fits me very well around my shoulder/arm so this one is probably going back. I am waiting on the trousers. It may work well for someone who doesn't have a small and long frame like mine or someone who likes oversized fits.<br /> 5. VB Fabiola Plaid Crop Blazer and Tonelli Plaid Cotton and Wool Wide leg pants ---this jacket fits so much better than the Boss jacket. It feels nice and I can move my arms properly. I'm not sure about the cropped length. It is a bit roomy but not too bad. I can move easily, sit comfortably, etc. It probably needs a brighter camisole than the lavender I chose for try ons!<br /> 6. Better pictures of the VB Yoke Front jeans paired with a non sale item. Rag&amp;Bone Icons Maxine Stripe Button-Up Shirt. I like the fit and color of the stripes. It looks large in the shoulders from the back but it isn't too bad. Much better than the white Nordstrom top!<br /> 7. The VB leather dickey jacket with the Dickey's and the VB Yoke jeans.<br /> 8. Barbour raincoat layered over the leather Blazer. Plenty of room! Smaller size is on the way.<br /> 9. On sale at Nordies but not part of NAS, VB Royce stretch cotton pants and Amika stretch cotton vest. </p>
