June can be iffy out there though -- lots of fog. I guess they are getting it in July, too, this year.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-ordered-so-farwhat-im-still-considering/page/2#post-1938581 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 20:44:01 +0000 Anonymous 1938581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I truly think you will use that quilted coat in the summer in Vancouver! Today for example, it’s going down to 11C. Brrr!</p> <p>I’m really hoping you can snag a pair of those blue Aquatalias!! Go Suz! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-ordered-so-farwhat-im-still-considering/page/2#post-1938577 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 20:25:40 +0000 Suz 1938577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not sure -- I haven't ordered the Blondos yet. I might not order, either. Might wait.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-ordered-so-farwhat-im-still-considering/page/2#post-1938573 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 20:20:26 +0000 K2 1938573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m loving your selections. For those Blondos, love them, but do you need to size up 1/2 size or full size? I’d be paying the duty and taxes so wouldn’t want to get it wrong.... thanks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-ordered-so-farwhat-im-still-considering/page/2#post-1938538 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 18:04:36 +0000 Author Linda 1938538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a good NAS for cashmere! I always love reading your selections and often follow-up on your choices because they also suit me coloring-wise. You have a wonderful sense of your own style and what looks good on you. </p> <p>I think the RL coat would be really good on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-ordered-so-farwhat-im-still-considering/page/2#post-1938536 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 17:57:53 +0000 SarahD8 1938536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz just chiming in to say that I wear cashmere year-round in the Pacific Northwest! The heat has broken a bit here in Seattle and I am wearing a (lightweight) cashmere cardi as I type this.</p> <p>I also thought the Ralph Lauren coat looks extremely you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-ordered-so-farwhat-im-still-considering/page/2#post-1938524 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 17:31:10 +0000 Suz 1938524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all these insights, all. I love the idea of a lighter coat/ trench but have yet to see one that appeals -- might have to wait until spring for that, which is fine. I do have my lavender wool coat (yay!!) and a cranberry wool coat. Would love a red rain coat or a white one.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for affirming cashmere will be good in Vancouver. My budget did not extend to cashmere last time I lived there. ;)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>LaPed,</b> I ordered the boots from the US to a US address.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Joy,</b> I don't have the plaid Kuts yet -- it will take a while for things to arrive here.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-ordered-so-farwhat-im-still-considering/page/2#post-1938517 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 17:06:23 +0000 Angie 1938517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Gaylene</b>, hence I have a hundred bright coats </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-ordered-so-farwhat-im-still-considering/page/2#post-1938516 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 16:54:24 +0000 Gaylene 1938516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for cashmere on the coast! My cashmere hoodies are in constant rotation during our rainy season. Angie’s picks are dead accurate—surprise, surprise—for a PNW winter. </p> <p>My only suggestion would be to consider choosing a light neutral for your outerwear instead of a dark. Two reasons: spring starts in February and lasts until May so it’s nice to have a lighter color during those months. And, second, a light neutral is much more visible when you are on foot during the darker, rainier months. Pedestrians wearing black and dark navy are invisible in the shadows and rain glare of dark, wet December day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-ordered-so-farwhat-im-still-considering/page/2#post-1938514 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 16:46:27 +0000 LaPed 1938514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the Derek Lam coat and the navy leather Le Pliage. The RM Regan is a nice shape, but those tassels would drive me nuts! </p> <p>The quilted RL coat jumps out at me as very "you" -- looks like a good weight and length for PNW winter. Oh, and you managed to order the Aquatalia boots?!</p> <p>I would wait on sweaters -- the hoodies look good to me, but the others are not very exciting for the price. The good knitwear always comes later in the fall, IME, with the "holiday" collections. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-ordered-so-farwhat-im-still-considering#post-1938513 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 16:45:38 +0000 Angie 1938513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you worried about wearing cashmere on my side,<b>&nbsp;Suz</b>? I can assure you we wear cashmere ALL THE TIME. Right into Spring &nbsp;The damp cold is <i>awful</i> - and colder than a dry cold at the same temperature.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-ordered-so-farwhat-im-still-considering#post-1938499 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 16:19:57 +0000 Angela H 1938499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Joy that cashmere can be a wonderful thing in Vancouver - the wet can make it feel really cold sometimes. And that colour is gorgeous!</p> <p>If it fits under the RL coat, that would take you through quite a lot of our cooler weather - maybe not when it is cold, cold, but quite a bit of it.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-ordered-so-farwhat-im-still-considering#post-1938472 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 14:42:44 +0000 Anonymous 1938472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I have not received anything from my order yet, but should get a quilted vest today. I also so far have mostly ordered underwear. Tell me more about the Kut plaid Diana's . They will probably be on my next order but I also have this brand and style in an assortment of styles. Does this pair have at least a mid high waistline? I want them to replace a similar plaid in greys that has been worn to a frazzle.<br /> You may want to see how a Vancouver winter feels before getting too much. Preparing for rain is a given. I like cashmere even if it is not horribly cold. It can take the chill off and still breathe so you do not overheat.<br /> Remember when Angie showed us a hoodie worn under a coat? I love that look with a pea coat, although my pea coat is too cropped for the length of the hoodie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-ordered-so-farwhat-im-still-considering#post-1938444 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 13:38:50 +0000 Bijou 1938444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope you get the Longchamp bag, I have a couple of leather Longchamp bags and they are beautiful quality - they honestly are brilliant everyday bags that go the distance. I have had mine for about 4 years and they show no sign of wearing out.</p> <p>Your other picks are gorgeous. I particularly love the red scarf you picked as I can see that working so well in your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-ordered-so-farwhat-im-still-considering#post-1938359 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 10:08:54 +0000 Jaime 1938359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is a standout and I would get it if I had a waist. The KUT skinnies would probably be my first realistic pick. Love the DL jacket - that would be an investment though. Like the EF shoes if I could do the heel. Rain jackets are always good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-ordered-so-farwhat-im-still-considering#post-1938312 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 06:03:31 +0000 Anonymous 1938312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, above you noted you are a good reader of Angie's picks.&nbsp; Are you referring to her Top Picks on her Finds page?&nbsp; I've been watching for a post after the first one on 24 picks from NAS that highlights details on each item.&nbsp; I have been studying Anglie's Top Picks on her Finds page.&nbsp; I haven't participated in NAS for two consecutive years so I've just been following along, as we educate each other on the orders we're placing and then how everything is fitting.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-ordered-so-farwhat-im-still-considering#post-1938270 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 03:36:32 +0000 DonnaF 1938270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Best wishes on your order! Good thing you are a regular size in pants. Every time I check, the Kuts have sold out in another Petite size so currently P8 is the smallest even though they still have down to Regular 00. Go figure. I ended up ordering a P4 and a 2; I usually like a higher rise so it may all turn out since I can just have them shortened which I would need to do for a Petite size anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-ordered-so-farwhat-im-still-considering#post-1938269 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 03:35:54 +0000 Suz 1938269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>Colette</b> -- they looked great on you!&nbsp;<br /><b>Angie</b>, thank you -- that pullover is in my collection of "possibles". Will strongly consider. I like the textures. And thanks for the compliment. Greys usually do work well and anyway the neckline of this would take a scarf.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-ordered-so-farwhat-im-still-considering#post-1938265 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 03:30:03 +0000 Colette 1938265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! The only thing I've seen (and tried) in person are the EF pumps. TTS for me and comfy. I hope they work for you because I can totally see you wearing these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-ordered-so-farwhat-im-still-considering#post-1938245 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 02:49:18 +0000 Suz 1938245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, <b>Angie</b>, I'm a good reader of your picks! I'll cross the Halogen sweater off my list and continue to mull on the others! If I don't order any, I'll be fine -- the booties were the most important items for me. But it looks like there is some consensus that I need to try the 1901 dress. ;)</p> <p><b>Elizabeth</b>, I don't know yet about duties -- I'm having them delivered to a US address. Re raincoats, you are probably right that I could find one in Vancouver just as well! Good point.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Jussie,</b> I didn't know you were anti-hoodie! I am not in love with athleisure in theory but one of my most worn sweaters happens to be a cashmere cardigan hoodie. So I figure, who cares about the hood.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-ordered-so-farwhat-im-still-considering#post-1938243 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 02:45:19 +0000 Angie 1938243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes - Blondos are SHORT - size up.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-ordered-so-farwhat-im-still-considering#post-1938241 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 02:44:49 +0000 Angie 1938241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a FUN pullover. Well made. Good fit. Size down. The grey was blah on everyone so it's not a top pick. But I'm <i>not</i> saying pass to you because the grey will come alive with your shiny grey hair.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-ordered-so-farwhat-im-still-considering#post-1938240 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 02:43:03 +0000 Angie 1938240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pass on this - dodgy quality:&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-ordered-so-farwhat-im-still-considering#post-1938239 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 02:42:25 +0000 Angie 1938239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOOOHOO. Nice, <b>Suz.</b>&nbsp;I see<i> plenty</i> of top picks:&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-ordered-so-farwhat-im-still-considering#post-1938230 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 02:12:01 +0000 jussie 1938230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I insist you get that 1901 dress lol. I also like most things you’ve selected. That Nic and Zoe sweater is very nice, and I’m sure the quilted jacket would be a real workhorse too. All the shoes look like winners to me. The only thing I’m not as in love with is the hoodie. Only because it’s a hoodie ;). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-ordered-so-farwhat-im-still-considering#post-1938225 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 01:50:08 +0000 Elizabeth P 1938225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some great choices Suz. Looking forward to seeing them on you, and what you choose to keep. </p> <p>Were the duties on the kuts reasonable?</p> <p>And... I got a London fog rain coat during bay days. Half price, nicer than gear, yet still waterproof. Not sure it’s as good as goretex for real weather, as I haven’t tested it fully yet. Just a thought for other options.<br /> Although... given the rain and culture in vancouver, you may just want to go to MEC! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-ordered-so-farwhat-im-still-considering#post-1938220 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 01:31:20 +0000 Suz 1938220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all -- great thoughts here! Appreciate your input!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Keix</b>, I ordered my regular size in the Kuts. I'd rather have them a bit loose than snug. I've had Kuts in 0, 2, and 4 in the past. The 4s were for a true BF look. The 2s had almost no stretch. The 0s were stretchy. I can probably wear all these sizes but 2 is my usual. I can send back if they don't work.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Thistle</b>, I think the RM bag is "me" but not sure about the others. As I said, I'm not terribly enamoured of the sale bags this year. The RM is not a NAS item.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>kkards</b>, thanks to <b>Elizabeth</b> and <b>Keix, </b>I <b></b>got the boots on order. Shipping via the US -- they won't be in Canada. But at least they came back in stock in my size.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Smittie, </b>I<b></b>'m not sure the RL coat would be used in <b>summer</b> in Vancouver!! But definitely in spring, fall, and winter. And the price is right. But who knows about the quality? I tend to agree with you about the gearish coat, though. Longer would be more protective and better. I mean, who wants wet thighs?? Very good point -- thanks! Also thanks for enabling on that dress -- it does look pretty darned good!</p> <p><b>Staysfit </b>-- good observation -- do I really need 2 hoodies??? MMmM. The colour of the Nordstrom Signature one is what is calling me. Also the fact that I had to get rid of a lot of knits last year and have about 2 sweaters left. However, winter is going to be different in Vancouver and maybe I don't need so much cashmere as I need in Ontario.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Kathie</b>, that's great intel on that piece -- thank you! And yes, I've seen the Feathers bra, ha! :)</p> <p><b>Windchime</b>, didn't order the RL yet but think I might....</p> <p><b>CJ</b>, we will be NAS twins at this rate!! Yay -- you have great taste!! ;)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-ordered-so-farwhat-im-still-considering#post-1938213 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 01:11:14 +0000 Keix 1938213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought the Kut plaid skinnies. Did you size down, or at least take the smaller of your sizes? I had to size way down to a 00 (I'm usually 26 in premium denim, sometimes 25). I initially took a 0 and 2 into the dressing room with me and didn't even bother trying on the 2. I don't necessarily think that the pants run large for everyone but I know you are narrow-framed like me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-ordered-so-farwhat-im-still-considering#post-1938211 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 01:08:19 +0000 Thistle 1938211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*shuffle shuffle*</p> <p>Not really sure any of the bags are you. I honestly think you can find something more "you", and with the amount of use a bag gets, it would be worth paying full price for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-ordered-so-farwhat-im-still-considering#post-1938208 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 00:49:43 +0000 Anonymous 1938208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m voting for the blue RM structured leather bag. </p> <p>I think the quilted Ralph Lauren coat would get used a lot when you move, even in the summer.</p> <p>The dress is a slam dunk. I am very confident it will lol amazing on you and will be very useful pre and post move.</p> <p>I’m not sure about that non-gear gear raincoat. I would suggest a thigh length one. It is gear but the thigh length gives it some semblance of elegance </p>
