They never hung or draped right over my shoes. I turned them into kick flares. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weeelllll#post-1943064 Tue, 31 Jul 2018 01:55:03 +0000 Like the Season 1943064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>UPDATE:&nbsp;</b><br />I received the Wit &amp; Wisdom baby bootcuts. They are very stretchy, very comfy, didn't seem like they'd bag out. However, the "bootcut" part of the leg starts too low for me, resulting in the "calf-sucking" phenomenon. When I sat down, they rode up to the knee and then didn't release when I stood up. I do have wider calves -- 14 1/2" -- so often run into this problem, but usually not with bootcuts. Oh, well. C'est la vie.</p> <p>I did learn a lot about how the sale works and the importance of getting in early when the getting's good. Next year, I'll be better prepared. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weeelllll#post-1943050 Tue, 31 Jul 2018 01:35:05 +0000 Like the Season 1943050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Kkards</b>, thanks, yeah, I saw that, but it's very disheartening to have the order cancelled after it seems to goes through.

It's one of the things I'm quickly learning from you and the forum -- be picky!

People seem divided on this issue. The pocket placement does not bother me. Possibly because I don't look at it. &nbsp;The people I know who love them have different shaped bottoms and hips, so I'm not sure what the determining factors are.&nbsp;</p> <p>Good for you for sending back what does not work, though. It's disappointing but it just means you have more $ for later on.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weeelllll#post-1942410 Sat, 28 Jul 2018 22:13:05 +0000 Gigi 1942410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rats! It's especially too bad about the jeans. I'm so glad you checked the rear view in the mirror, though! It would have been worse to have paid good money for those and then discovered the problem later.</p> <p>I don't generally have a lot of success at NAS. In the past two years, everything I ordered went back. This year I might be keeping a skirt (already rec'd), plus a bra and jeans (still to come). I had high hopes of finding a leather moto, but that fell through.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weeelllll#post-1942319 Sat, 28 Jul 2018 14:19:05 +0000 MTBGirl 1942319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry and hope the W+W boot cuts work for you! 'm about 50/50 on things working out<br />What size do you need in the Zella hoodie? I'm usually a 10 and tried the medium which could have worked but felt too small in the whole torso and returned it. Might you need a M? I see it is available now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weeelllll#post-1942310 Sat, 28 Jul 2018 12:17:59 +0000 Janet 1942310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had trouble with the R&amp;B Dre's the first time they came out because of the back view, but it was also because of the weird fading they had on that first wash -- very faded on the butt and just underneath, where I really don't need a lighter portion to highlight the area where I'm widest! But I do think their pocket placement may be tricky. However, I later bought the Dre's in burgundy, and had the waist taken in, which took care of the migration/baggy butt syndrome for me. Still, it's smart of you to recognize they didn't make you feel fab, and to move along.&nbsp;</p> <p>Bummer that the other items didn't work out. I'm hoping the baby boot cuts work for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weeelllll#post-1942304 Sat, 28 Jul 2018 12:06:32 +0000 Kathie 1942304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad about the jeans and the boots, but I think it’s always best to be super picky during NAS, because the chance of having sale goggles is high. I do hope you’ll still look for the Zella top. It’s beautiful, and I can see it working perfectly with your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weeelllll#post-1942239 Sat, 28 Jul 2018 02:10:11 +0000 Preppy Pear 1942239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree about the R and B jeans looking good in the front, and similar experience with the back, sigh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weeelllll#post-1942203 Sat, 28 Jul 2018 00:53:40 +0000 Like the Season 1942203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>... I struck out.</p> <p>The Rag &amp; Bone jeans were very long. I didn't measure, but the inseam couldn't have been 30" as stated, unless that was the cuffed length. (Possible.) I'm usually a 6 or 8, and ordered the 6. It was the right size and I loved how they looked -- from the front. From the back, well, the pockets are huge and very widely spaced. Possibly because the jeans are mid-rise, not high, when I sat and then stood up again, the bottom of the pockets had migrated down a bit, below my butt. Into the crease. Not a good look, folks. They're going back. (Below, how they appeared prior to migration.)</p> <p>The Blondos are great looking boots, especially for waterproof, and would be nice and warm, but they squeezed my toes width-wise and felt a little clunky. They're close enough to the Taos boots (see find) I bought last fall, which are not waterproof but are quite a bit more comfortable. So, I'll wear the Taos again this year and send the Blondos back.</p> <p>Finally, I tried to snag the Zella cashmere hoodie, but my order was cancelled -- after receiving the confirmation e-mail -- not once, but twice. I gave up after that.</p> <p>Still to come are some Wit &amp; Wisdom baby bootcuts. I'll review them when they arrive.&nbsp;<b>UPDATE IN COMMENTS.</b></p>
