Have Dog, Will Travel - to NAS

Put Lilypup the dog in her stroller and we headed into NAS yesterday evening! Woo woo! She loves her stroller. As per, we started in Narrative because it's near the elevator. Last year the tent curtains were pulled back, if I recall; this year they were closed. A bit of a different experience

But on to it!

What I got. Coordinates! Pine greens! Black & whites!
#1 - Halogen Quinn pants and Back Zip Jacquard top.
#2 - Trouvé Corrugated High/Low sweater
#3 - Halogen Faux Leather Trim blouse
#4 - Trouvé 'Wild' Knit sweater. I'm sorta averse to animal prints when I see them on the rack, but they're great. So I made myself.

What I went for and didn't get.
#5 - Green Halogen pencil. My size was out and it wasn't quite a pine green. Also was concerned about wrinkles after a day of sitting. All my polyester knit skirts like this do that and it bugs me. Aside - also tried on this sweater that I hadn't noticed online; looked terrible on me IMO. I think the scoop neck sweater isn't for me. Too bad. It was soft.
#6 - Bernardo Asymmetrical Zip Packable Goose Down Jacket. It fit, but I felt... short and squashed in it.

What I might go back for:
#7 - Faux leather track pants. What a bummer! Didn't see them anywhere.
#8 - Joie 'Mariner B.' Pants. Saw these. Thought there looked like a lot of material there on the hanger. Later realised that was a snap judgement. You never know until you try on!
#9 - Beautiful green coat. Probably not warm enough for me and also not pine green.
#10 - Betsey Johnson Collarless Animal Print Coat. Sadly, also no sign of this coat.

And...

#11. The Puffer. Super nice fit and length. Great price. Doubtful colours.

Ok! Thanks for looking!

I ADORE #1.
I was hoping for a field report on the faux leather track pants and the Joie striped track pants.

LOVE 2 on you. Looks so great. And the jacquard in 1 is awesome too. 4 I want to see with your sassy new booties!

Love your purchases. So fun to take Lilypup in the stroller. Did she enjoy it?

Oh! The jacquard looks amazing! Great sweater, too.

I like that green coat a lot, though I would agree it is more of a malachite or emerald. Haven't tried on the pants, but will keep eyes peeled for customers fitting them on.

I LOVE when ladies bring their pups shopping. One gal had a doggiebjorn.

You did well! I love you in these pine greens. The matching set in number one is so AWESOME on you. Would you look at that fit? You will have to model the rest ASAP. YAY!

Love your selections. Hope you go back and try the others. I would dearly love to see a pic of Lilypup in her stroller. I have never seen anyone here shop with a puppy. But having a furdoll of my own, I love this idea!

Oh man - no picture of the dog in the stroller? I think you made some good choices and what you've shown looks good on you.

The green brocade pants and top are awesome! Love the sweater in #2 too.

But what I really want to know is, where is the pic of Lilypup in the stroller?!?!?!

I didn't even consider the green jacquard (went with burgundy) but MY OH MY you have me reconsidering! Number one is super fab! and I like the sleeves of the sweater.

I'm also eager to hear about the faux leather track pants...

Peri

Pleas, I'm begging you...a picture of the dog in the stroller!!!

And they let you shop with her?

I'm with Peri, I wanna see a pic of doggy
Love your purchases, particularly 1, 2 and 4. I too would love to see your new booties with 1, I think they'd look great.

Rachy, I love the stuff you got! #1 is gorgeous on you. And the sweater in 2 looks much better on you than on the model! It's really cool. Love 3 and 4, too. Great choices.

I hope you're able to find the other stuff you want, too. I like the contrasting lining in the puffer in 11.

First things first - I know I know! As soon as I started typing up this thread, I had to give myself a V8 smack. I soo should have snapped the Lilypup in her stroller. She loves that thing. Once, she was so eager to get in, she made a jump for it when the door flap was closed. OMG, that was funny. Poor little thing bounced right off, all chagrined. But hecka' funny.

I'm glad you guys think the pine green looks good. I'm so enamoured of this colour, but I was a teensy weensy bit worried it was dull.

Ceit - you're brilliant. I can't believe I didn't think of it. The booties need #4.

Great finds! I love #8, definitely worth going back for.

Peri - Ya, I love that they let you bring your dog. They're posh. I go out there to High Suburbia, just for that reason.

Diane - That's also brilliant for the booties. (Boy, you know, my own thoughts on the shoe front have been sadly on the frumpy side of prep...)

Suz - The jacket is actually reversible. The blue could be worn out. No shine tho, matte colour. I'm not sure if that would make things better. Both the blue and greeny gold are sickly and, well, what goes with "sick"? On the other hand, when something is so out there, it sort of stops mattering.

Keri - Dog strollers are brilliant! I can't lift one of those wire kennels... ETA: Oooh. I like yours. That's good looking!

Another one looking for the photo of Lilypup! What kind of dog is she?

I too love #1! The coats in 9 and 10 are gorgeous.

Love your picks! I too have been curious about the faux leather track pants and the Joie track pants.

Can you get a stroller big enough for a 55 lb. border collie? What about an 85 lb lab?

rachylou

Veteran

Denise - I think that's when you get out the Radio Flyer. But I have seen wheeled kennels like that.

Pil - Lilypup's a "chigi." A corgi/chihuahua mix. I.e., the biggest chihuahua ever. People are like *dang, that's a big chihuahua* on the street. Altho, mind, in California we only have two kinds of dogs actually: chi's and pitt's. I swear every dog is classified as one of those no matter what. It's fascinating.

Fun! You got some gorgeous pieces

The dog strollers crack me up! I have never, ever had a dog that would sit sedately in a stroller and let me push him or her around. No. I take that back. My sister and I used to load up our Welsh Corgi into our doll carriage and wheel him around. He only tried to escape when we rolled him down a hill. (We were rotten kids).

My "pup" is a 60 lb flat-coat retriever. He'll pull ME in a stroller before I push him! lol!

Love your goodies, Rachy. Looks like you made some good choices and have a fairly clear idea on how you want to tweak your wardrobe this fall.

The greens are lovely on you, and I can't wait to see that fab printed white and black top. Nice finds!

Had to look up a chigi aka giant chihuahua picture - what a cute puppy dog! My two pugs are such slugs they would be right at home in a stroller

Fab finds! If your local store doesn't have your items, can you get them online?

Rachy, you got some really fab stuff! The green looks beautiful on you...so nice that you were able to take Lilypup! My absolute favourites are 4 and 5. He's a prissy dog and it's sometimes a chore just to get him to cross the street for a poo.

LOVE the stuff you got! The jacquard suit is KILLER on you

You will probably love the Joie Track pants - they made my top picks list, and so will the green/black coat. Great on clients yesterday and today. xo

You're just adorable in these pics! I'm no help with sorting through though -- I went today, no appointment, just reconnaissance, and I'm over NAS'ed.

Let's see Lilypup in her stroller!

P.S. How do the stores let her in? I think our MN stores would give you some trouble!

Love how you're looking at dark green in various pieces. LOVE the #9 coat, just bundle up underneath! I think you have to have it!

In Central California I'm not seeing dogs at the mall. But when I visit DD in LA, they are all over. Although I don't think I would be welcome with my Baby, who is as tall as my belly button (and I'm 5'5").

Also, I didn't know a chigi was a thing! I thought it was just you!
