I don't really wear white sweaters but the red is right up my alley. Currently sold out in my size but I've added it to my stalk list </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-ordered-today-a-lot#post-1936708 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 22:48:05 +0000 AZBeth 1936708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keix,&nbsp; in one of your posts you asked about a top to go with the Halogen pleat skirt... I bought a Ivory Halogen Sweater (in the sale) today to go with the skirt, which, btw, is really neat and unique. It looked good in red too.</p> <p></p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-ordered-today-a-lot#post-1936599 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 19:23:22 +0000 Keix 1936599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I didn't even think of that color combo,&nbsp;<b>Berkeley Girl</b>, but you're totally right! Will have to try it when the items arrive.</p> <p>Btw, I ran to my local store briefly today and tried on some things Posted a separate review thread. If anyone is wondering about the BLANKNYC moto jacket, I found the XS to be a perfect (petite) fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-ordered-today-a-lot#post-1936594 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 19:13:12 +0000 Berkeley Girl 1936594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dropping back in to add, both the light grey boots and sneaker booties will look FANTASTIC with the mint toppers. Dreamy color combo.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-ordered-today-a-lot#post-1936541 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 16:59:22 +0000 Keix 1936541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like I'm not the only one in love with teal and mint! Special nod to Diana as a fellow capital-T Teal Lover, of course ;)</p> <p>I hope to model everything for the forum as it comes in -- I always find reviews so helpful when others do them. One reason I ordered so much on the first day is that I often need the smallest size (XXSP, XXS, 5/5.5) on top and in footwear, and those sizes sell out fast.</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, I gasped out loud when I was browsing the website at midnight and saw a shrunken-looking teal moto at a &lt;$100 price point. So happy to hear that it's good in person, too. But now I'm a little worried if I should have ordered the size Small, instead of XS, if it runs very small... I'm a solid size 0 on top except for my shoulders which are average-width rather than narrow. My local Nordies has this jacket in stock in black, so hoping to run there today to try it on and see.</p> <p>I ordered XSP rather than XXSP in the red Halogen jacket, and of course the latter is sold out now. But I don't have the bust to fill it out anyways, so maybe that piece is not meant for me, as gorgeous as it looks in the photo.</p> <p><b>Liz A.</b>, I would wear the Mural trench (as well as the other indoor blazers) as a light transitional topper... I live in northern California where this kind of light coat can be an outdoor piece, when it's either May or December and still a high of 65F. I moved here a few years ago from the East Coast, so I understand your hesitation--I never even wore 3/4-sleeve sweaters back home, because what's the point of leaving my forearms to get cold if it's sweater weather? But California weather patterns are a totally different beast. I had to build my topper capsule almost from scratch when I moved.</p> <p>The lovely navy cashmere sweater, on the other hand... I probably have too much cashmere already, for my climate. I'll justify it with my annual January trips to Montana, maybe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-ordered-today-a-lot#post-1936442 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 13:36:59 +0000 Diana 1936442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your choices! Of course I love the teal jackets. :)<br /> I hope you model the red jacket for us! I was kind of tempted but I really, really do not need any more indoor toppers. I also considered the blondo sneakers for myself (in black) but decided I was already ordering too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-ordered-today-a-lot#post-1936439 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 13:35:58 +0000 Liz A. 1936439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I almost ordered that Mural trench... may still go back and get it.&nbsp; Are you considering it an indoor piece?&nbsp; The lack of closure and 3/4 sleeves concerned me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-ordered-today-a-lot#post-1936435 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 13:32:47 +0000 Janet 1936435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found those teal jackets tempting as well, but I have a dark teal wool moto, so I’m resisting that temptation. Nice pieces! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-ordered-today-a-lot#post-1936432 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 13:29:49 +0000 Angie 1936432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The red Halogen Blouson sleeve jacket runs VERY big, and will only work of you can fill it out. It has a lovely '40s integrity.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-ordered-today-a-lot#post-1936431 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 13:28:24 +0000 Angie 1936431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NICE.</p> <p>These are top picks. The pleather jacket is AMAZING, and runs quite small.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-ordered-today-a-lot#post-1936406 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 12:34:10 +0000 Thistle 1936406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such lovely choices!&nbsp; You'll have to report in when you get them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-ordered-today-a-lot#post-1936401 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 12:22:17 +0000 RobinF 1936401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I especially like the blouses you picked - and some come in a petite which is even better! And those toppers are beautiful! Hope they work out for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-ordered-today-a-lot#post-1936399 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 12:11:10 +0000 Kathie 1936399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So many great finds!! I hope you’ll try them on for us. The NS cashmere sweater is already sold out in my size, so I’d love to see it on people here. The blue print on the Halogen skirt caught my eye, too. I like your winter styling idea for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-ordered-today-a-lot#post-1936373 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 10:53:27 +0000 delurked 1936373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There’s a lot to like here, but I did a little gasp at the blouson jacket in red. Good luck with finding enough but not too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-ordered-today-a-lot#post-1936370 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 10:51:02 +0000 Inge 1936370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More love for the toppers from me:-) A cool taupe can indeed be hard to find, so I'm holding thumbs the footwear works out for you. You've found such fun stuff! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-ordered-today-a-lot#post-1936323 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 06:27:52 +0000 Berkeley Girl 1936323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just chiming in to say that I also love the teal and mint toppers. Hope some of them work out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-ordered-today-a-lot#post-1936316 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 05:54:15 +0000 KnittingGene 1936316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those teal and mint toppers are gorgeous. How fun that those are colors you hunt for and you get to try on a couple of them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-ordered-today-a-lot#post-1936283 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 04:52:59 +0000 Keix 1936283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope/assume that a lot of these won't work for me, by the law of probability and because the total definitely exceeds my budget. I usually do a lot of ordering and returning during NAS, but this year I allowed myself to bump up the single-item price point a bit.</p> <p>1) Mint and/or teal toppers are a must-try for me. I ordered two teal/dark green motos and two mint trench/topcoat type jackets. If by some miracle one from each category works out, I'll sacrifice elsewhere because this is a real HEWI for me.</p> <p>2) I broke my unofficial rule of "don't buy sweaters over $100 in case the moths get to them" for a Nordstrom Signature navy tweed cashmere pullover. A splurge item for me; it all depends on how this drapes on me in person. I love the look of oversized sweaters but being petite with a small bust makes them difficult to fit.</p> <p>3) The Aquatalia sock booties were my top pick from the catalog, but I talked myself out of including them in the first midnight order, due to price. I do really want a comfortable high-shaft fitted bootie, though, and the 2.5" heel on this one is my upper limit for daytime shoes (last year most sock booties seemed to have sky-high heels). Chose the black over sapphire, as unique as the navy color is, because I've been happily adding black neutrals to my wardrobe of late. Black footwear bookends my hair and goes with all of the other black pieces in my wardrobe, so it's a no-brainer. I've decided to embrace black as my best dark neutral.</p> <p>4) My preferred light neutral, on the other hand, is a cool taupe that can be hard to find. Trying out two pairs of Blondo short booties and/or sneakers, to that end. The Lanka booties seem to lean a bit grey in the product photo, but taupe is untrustworthy in photographs.</p> <p>5) Denim: trying the Frame dark wash side-slit skinnies, which will be full length on me. I'm mostly set on jeans for this coming season though, so they'll need to be 10/10 to keep.</p> <p>6) Two Gibson cozy fleece sweaters: a black cardi that I intend to wear buttoned as a pullover, and a bright blue blouson sleeve. I seem to be into bright clear colors and blouson sleeves... also picked up a red Halogen blouson sleeve jacket and a Vince Camuto blouse with belled cuffs.</p> <p>7) Patterned wildcards... Trouve kimono top and Halogen midi skirt, because I LOVE these particular prints. I need to figure out what kind of top to wear with the midi skirt, though. It's styled in the photos with a neutral sweater, and I can definitely see it with a cashmere sweater + tall boots. But I'd like to have a summer top pairing for the skirt too. </p>
