My NAS box - YouLookFab Forum

My NAS order arrived today and I think it's a hit. I wasn't sure if I'd order anything this year with the currency exchange. In the end I ordered 6 things and justified them in this post

Everything fits! Yay! The sleeves on the Halogen tunic are too long but I can scrunch. The Zella capris are as light as a feather and perfect for the scorching weather we're getting right now. Woohoo to not having to wait until fall to wear any NAS purchases!

The boots zip up over all bottoms easily. The height is tall but not too tall (I'm 5'4"). The footbed is wide enough for socks (I bought a wide width). The only thing I'm hesitant on is the colour (cognac). I have to decide if it works once I've styled them a bit.

The KK top is easy-peasy. Fits, flattering, easy to wear.

The MK Trench is the perfect size! I bought the petite large - not because I'm petite but because my larger size usually means the sleeves are too long. I have enough room to wear a sweater. I'll try a few more just to make sure.

I'll try to do pictures later but for now I'm super excited!

WOW. That's brilliant, kerry. Well done. Not easy making such informed choices from Canada when you really don't want to pay return shipping fees.

Thanks Angie! Your recommendations and descriptions, other forum member's reviews, and the reviews at Nordstrom really helped. I've also learned so much here at YLF that I'm starting to feel like a seasoned pro

It sounds like you thought out sizes very successfully. I love those cognac boots and all your things.

Thanks Joy!

Wow. That's lovely to hear, kerry. Thank you.

Good for you Kerry! it's tough isn't it, but the helpfulness of people here is amazing. I was thrilled with my order, and have just placed a second one

We are twins on half of your haul

Congrats on the finds, Kerry. Did you find you needed the wide calf in the boots? Do you normally get wide calf boots?

It is tough, Elizabeth. I don't always know what's going to work on me. I'm the girl headed to the change room with half the store hanging from my arms! Actually, that's not completely true. My time on YLF has helped me hone somewhat. A second one? What's in that order?? So curious!

Laura, I always need wide calf boots. My calves are wide but my feet are also small (6.5) so my calves are definitely not in proportion to my foot size. I think my calves are 15.5 inches at their widest and because I'm shorter and the shape of my leg, that widest point is lower than for other women. I also got wide width which I don't usually do but found Naturalizer (in the boots anyway) ran narrow in the toes for me. I ordered a different pair of Naturalizer knee-high boots from a Canadian retailer in a regular width (too narrow) but wide calf (perfect and no saggy ankles) to see how these would work.

Oooh, glad everything worked so well for you.

We're sisters on three of these items: the KK top, the Halogen tunic, and the Zella capris.

How do you like the blue of the Halogen tunic?

And, yes, the Zella capris are amazing. I never could have dreamed up casual pants as wonderful as these.

Very nice choices! Finding tall boots to fit can be such a challenge so that's a real success. I really like the color of that trench and such a good price for a nice coat. Is the blue the color you got in the tunic? It's really pretty.

I think I am jealous of everyone's Zella capris because they sound wonderful!

I am glad that you did so well with your choices; that's impressive!

Suz

YAY!! Congratulations on a highly successful order. Can't wait to see the items styled. I completely agree that Angie's descriptions along with reviews by other forum members are incredibly helpful for making wise choices in this business of cross border shopping. I could never do so well on my own in a million years.

Thanks Robin! I love the blue of the Halogen tunic. To be honest, I've never met a blue I didn't like!

Thanks Susie! Tall boots are the bain of my existence! For years there were no options for wide calf without having huge ugly stretchy panels, then wide calf became more available but usually the ankles were huge! I did buy a pair of tall black boots from Duo a few years ago. I like'd that I could customize the calf and search for a boot with a slim ankle (important, I think, when you're short like me!). The footbed of the Duos isn't quite as comfy as I'm starting to demand my footwear be. The tags are already off the Zella's and I'm wearing them in our extreme heat

Thanks, Kerry.

Thanks Suz!

Congrats on some very successful shopping!
