It seems to happen more and more as time goes on regardless of brand. *insert shrug* Angie on "Trying Mother Denim" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-mother-denim#post-2390890 Wed, 16 Jul 2025 14:09:26 +0000 Angie 2390890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Good grief. Fascinating! Sizes ARE all over the place Lisa on "Trying Mother Denim" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-mother-denim#post-2390858 Wed, 16 Jul 2025 02:58:59 +0000 Lisa 2390858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Firecracker (Sharan) - The Caslon terry shirts are a home run for me this NAS. Both blue colors (navy and skyway blue) work well with my wardrobe. I'll report back on the Wit & Wisdom when they arrive. I have one pair of Wit & Wisdom that are white jeans which have been nice. Most of my jeans are Paige. Mother is a new brand for me. So far, comparing Paige to Mother, I find the Paige denim is slightly thicker but not overly so. delurked - It is sometimes difficult to find a top in the right length. Often shirts are way too long for me (same with layering tanks and tees). But these Caslon terry shirts are a home run this NAS, the length is perfect for me. Suz - The Caslon terry shirts are definitely a top find for me this NAS. They are perfect. I'll report back on the Wit & Wisdom when they arrive. I am very curious which brand will work better.  Angie - If I was writing a top picks list, the Caslon terry shirts would be at the top of it. Both blue shades have been a home run for me this NAS.  And indeed, the fabric is super cozy. I can't wait for the weather to cool enough to start wearing them. I'll post the comparison when the Wit & Wisdom arrive. The Mother's seem really nice. The material is slightly thinner than my Paige, but not enough to be a deal breaker. The lighter weight denim may be useful with our long hot season.  kkards - *high five for jeans* I adore a good pair of jeans that fit well, are comfortable, and a wash that's versatile. Jeans are my favorite bottom to wear, year after year. I never tire of jeans.  RobinF - I appreciate that these jeans do not need to be hemmed. Even when I do an original hem on a pair of jeans with a finished hem, it's just not the same when the jeans have been tailored for length adjustments.  unfrumped - Your plans for the Caslon shirt is the same as mine, it's going to be a great layering piece for our warm falls when we have cool mornings and hot afternoons. I hope the navy works for you! It's a great shirt. :) Julie - Thanks for the feedback on the Wit & Wisdom. It will be interesting to compare them to the Mother's. I'm 5'3" so there's a good chance they will fit me full length. Angie - I actually went down a size in the Mother's. The Mother's are a size 27. Paige jeans I already own are a size 28. My Wit & Wisdom white jeans are a size 4. gryffin - I have not tried COH but in Paige I also size up in skinnies and straight legs. The Cindy is my favorite fit in Paige denim.  gryffin on "Trying Mother Denim" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-mother-denim#post-2390815 Tue, 15 Jul 2025 19:55:48 +0000 gryffin 2390815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Lisa - Thanks for the review.  I have never tried mother, despite all the raves.  But almost all my jeans are Paige or COH.  Good to know about sizing.  Those look awesome on you!!  Love.  (To Angie's question I do size up in paige - esp skinnies, and often down in COH depending on style and material) Angie on "Trying Mother Denim" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-mother-denim#post-2390784 Tue, 15 Jul 2025 17:23:33 +0000 Angie 2390784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Lisa! Mother tends to run small. Did you need to size up?  Julie on "Trying Mother Denim" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-mother-denim#post-2390771 Tue, 15 Jul 2025 14:14:05 +0000 Julie 2390771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow those jeans look perfect! If they feel as good as they look you should keep them! I tried the w&w you ordered and they fit (and felt) great, but were just a bit too short. I'm 5'7" though so maybe they will work for you. unfrumped on "Trying Mother Denim" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-mother-denim#post-2390767 Tue, 15 Jul 2025 13:36:43 +0000 unfrumped 2390767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am trying the Caslon shirt in navy— though amore “ medium” color would be more flattering, so we’ll see—as a layering piece and also by itself as a cozy transitional piece as alternative to pullovers . IF it’s soft enough. Will have to see about length, as noted above. I’m ok with not- too-long because it’s not for leggings or a tunic look. RobinF on "Trying Mother Denim" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-mother-denim#post-2390757 Tue, 15 Jul 2025 12:11:11 +0000 RobinF 2390757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Nice fit on the jeans. Love that length too.  kkards on "Trying Mother Denim" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-mother-denim#post-2390753 Tue, 15 Jul 2025 10:58:47 +0000 kkards 2390753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Jeans for the win!  Love a basic that fits this perfectly. you know you can teach for them and dress them up or down thrown on sneakers or boots or a dressy flat and they will just work.  For me jeans like this just make my live easier.   Angie on "Trying Mother Denim" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-mother-denim#post-2390739 Tue, 15 Jul 2025 05:39:37 +0000 Angie 2390739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What Suz said! The Mother jeans look terrific, Lisa! The high waist is super cute, and you can showcase that part if the mood strikes you. Pretty terry shirt with matching sneaks too. The fabric is SOOOO cosy :)  Looking forward to the comparison. Suz on "Trying Mother Denim" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-mother-denim#post-2390725 Tue, 15 Jul 2025 03:50:05 +0000 Suz 2390725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oooh, I love the Caslon shirt on you, Lisa. Lovely colour for you. And the fit and drape are just as good as on the navy.  Jeans look terrific, too. Looking forward to the comparison shots! delurked on "Trying Mother Denim" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-mother-denim#post-2390723 Tue, 15 Jul 2025 03:04:21 +0000 delurked 2390723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Glad that Caslon top worked for you. I can see that they fit quite a bit longer on you than me (I'm both tall, but also long through the torso). The length looks good on you. For me, it just didn't end at the right spot. Too short to be correctly cozy. I think that was more of the issue than anything else for me, but I struggled to articulate the issue in my post.

One wardrobe hole I'm looking to fill this NAS is a pair of lighter wash blue denim jeans. I ordered two to try, the Wit & Wisdom Bennett Skyrise Barely Bootcut Jeans from <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-picks-jeans-and-pants-at-the-nas#post-2390644">Angie's Top Picks: Jeans and Pants</a> and the Mother The Hustler Fray Ankle Slim Bootcut Jeans. I've put both in the finds. #1 to #3 - Mother The Hustler Fray Ankle Slim Bootcut Jeans The Mother's jeans arrived today. I have not tried Mother's denim before, they seem to fit fairly similar to Paige. As usual, everything that looks cropped in a stock photo is full length on short me. I'll post the Wit & Wisdom jeans when they come in before making a final decision. But I wanted to post the Mother's now in case anyone else was considering them. #4 to #5 - Caslon French Terry Button-Up Shirt in Blue Skyway I posted the navy version of this shirt <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-in-person-shopping---part-1-casual">here</a>. The Blue Skyway color arrived today. The fit is the same as the navy version. These shirts are a perfect layering item over tees for me. The third item that arrived today was a Caslon Chambray A-line shirtdress which I posted about <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-dress-fail---caslon-chambray-shirtdress">here</a>.
