The first half of my final NAS order arrived today. I did a quick try-on to see how they fit, but did not do any styling. I am really liking the idea of adding some simple, well made pieces with modern styles for fall and winter. (A couple of the things that have not arrived are more interesting styles) All are shown with Lucky Skinny Jeans and the new Vince Camuto suede booties I'm trying out. I tried two different pant lengths with the booties and left it that way for all the pics.
1,2 Eileen Fischer Crewneck in Red. This is the SP which looks pretty good.....but I need to try on the MP too which will be a little looser. Love this color! The fabric is lovely and substantial, which means I can wear it without an underlayer until well into fall..yay! No wonder its' a top pic. I have this coming in black SP which I'm thinking might be a too-predictable-and-dull addition to my wardrobe, and in light blue in MP.
3,4 The cashmere pullover in charcoal seems just a little big but I think that's me getting used to the style. It's such a NICE design with the ribbed side panels. I had a hard time deciding between this color and camel, except that the camel was sold out and least for the moment.
5,6 The cotton shirt is really nice, a little longer on me than in the pic but totally ok. The ribbed pattern is more obvious IRL and it's a little bit sheer but I could put a cami under it.
7,8 Vince Camuto Pants; these are dark heather grey and fit well although I need to take the waist in just a little. I got black too. I need black pants for concerts in fall, winter, and spring, and ordered these because I think they are a slimmer cut and more modern looking than the black trousers I have now. I'll have to check that very carefully. As a general addition to my wardrobe I don't think these look all that stylish and I can probably do better. Am I off base do you think?
The Vince camuto skirt is too tight and long in the largest petite size. I suppose i could try a regular size and shorten the hem, but the fabric is a bit of a disappointment, it seems a bit flimsy. I already have a skirt a lot like this with not so great fit and fabric so I do NOT need a second one
I'm going to wait for the rest of the order to arrive before I do any serious outfit creation.
As always, would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions
