All my NAS pieces finally arrived, so I'm here to report back. Overall, I am happy with the quality and style, though may be making a few returns.

- My initial shopping list included: black sneakers, a sports bra, a sports top. DONE!
- The blazer and bag were off-book wild cards.
- I also got a set of three Chantelle panties thanks to the recommendation of YLFers: they're lovely, thank you all for the tip!

1-2: Adidas top, bra, shoes - I love all of these pieces (worn here with old Zella leggings). The fabrication of the top is nice and silky and the armpits are low (which I like in work out clothes only!). The bra is great with a nice mesh inset in the back. But the SHOES! I was very pleasantly surprised to find out that there is a bit of gold in the knit (rather than white, which is what I expected from the stock photo): for basic athletic accessories, these are very fab -- and very comfy for training sneakers. Will wear them casually as well as for circuits.

3-5: 1.State windowpane blazer and Kurt Geiger bag - Given that these are wild cards for me, they have to be pretty perfect for me to keep them. I like the style of both a lot, but have reservations about each. BAG: it's great to have a piece this size that converts from shoulder bag to crossbody, and this bag is certainly fab from the front, but I'm put off by the side view, which looks a bit hodge-podge and squished to me (as in photo #5). I will probably return. BLAZER: I loved this on Suz, and I like it on me as well, but I'm worried it's a hair too big in the shoulders and at the hip (as in photos #3-4). I could exchange for a smaller size, but it's currently out of stock. On the fence about keeping/returning.

What do you think: how do you like the look of the bag and/or the blazer? Should I keep either one? Thanks so much!

EDIT:

Thanks so much to everyone for your input. I've decided to keep the blazer and return the bag. In the end, I think I will like the slightly boxier fit of the blazer, which feels fresh this season, and that I wouldn't get enough use out of the bag, which is a bit too flashy for my day-to-day.

I'll be on the look out for a similar shoulder-to-crossbody covertible bag in this size to and some interest to a black-heavy wardrobe. If anyone has any recommendations, please let me know! (This one from the Spanish brand Purificacion Garcia might fit the bill, though I can't try it til my next trip to Europe in the fall: https://www.purificaciongarcia.....04427.html)
