NAS - CE leather paneled skirt & Yanette trousers back online

Hi everyone,

I know some of you (Sveta?-) were also eyeing the Classiques Entier Sunmosa Mixed Media skirt. It is now back online in all sizes. I immediately ordered one for myself and was lucky enough to be able to grab the Theory Yanette trousers in my size as well. That one was disappearing before my very eyes, it seems one has to move fast during NAS;-)

Good hunting!-)

Yay! I'm so excited for you, Inge!

NAS items often come back into stock in other sizes so it's worth stalking the item if you really want it.

Thanks, Angie. And yes, that definitely is the case. I'd been checking the website several times a day. This morning the skirt and trousers were still unavailable, and then this afternoon all the sizes popped up again (for the skirt), and the trousers are back in two sizes.

Lesson learnt, the NAS isn't over until it's over;-)

I've been stalking these trousers, too, Inge! Last night, I needed to return some items, and I found a pair in the store that neer showed up online. I think they are too big, so I'm still stalking them in one size down to compare.

They're definitely worth stalking, Jamie. Also: did you see that Angie recommended going up one size if you want a slightly more slouchy fit (as pictured in Angie's outfit post on Saturday)? So perhaps the larger size might work after all?

They came home with me anyway. If I end up keeping them, I will need to alter them in the waist, which is pretty big. The next size down might fit in the waist a little better, but then I think they may be too tight on my calves, which are larger than average.

Aha, got it, Jamie. Good plan to try both sizes!

Thanks, Inge!

I had tried on the mixed leather skirt during pre-sale and thought I looked frumpy in it, but I'm going to try it again. Maybe a size smaller? maybe with shortening in mind? It was fab feeling on, and since I felt like a poseur last year in my all leather skirt, this might be the solution

I wish I could wear Theory, but I am SO far from Theory's slender rectangle build that I better stick with curvy Halogen Taylor. . .

I really loved Phoebe in that skirt yesterday, Sara, and definitely think you would rock a leather skirt! Perhaps it's just a matter of styling the skirt with all the fab pieces in your closet and adding the right footwear?
I vote try it again, and post a pic on the forum for ideas and opinions.

Between returns and restocking - there is a good chance that you will get your NAS purchase. This happens every year

Jamie, Theory runs small to start off with, and, in my opinion trousers look better when they are looser. My Yanettes are roomy everywhere (as you saw), AND they hang very low on the waist for a deliberately slouchy fit. They also do not fit my natural waistline like they do on the model - *on purpose*. It's a really good idea to hold onto that larger size and track down the smaller one to compare it with.

Sara, by all means try a size smaller in that skirt. Client Phoebe is only 5ft 2!

Thanks, Angie and Inge! The pair I bought is quite roomy everywhere, and at some point I will send picks for thoughts and advice.

Looking forward to your pics, Jamie.
I'm holding thumbs that mine will be roomy enough to achieve that slouchy fit I love so much.

Thanks, Inge!
These trousers are available in size 0 only now. In theory - will that cut work for my hourglass heavy thigh build or I better stay away?
As for the skirt - does it run true to size? I can go from 10 to 14 on pencil skirts and dresses - how does CE runs? For comparison I got that Halogen belted ponte skirt in black and white pattern in size 12 (the same one Aida and Kari got)...

Sveta, I generally wear a 6 or 8 in skirts, I wear a 6 in the classic Halogen seamed pencil skirt, and the CE skirt fits me in an 8. Hope that helps. I love this skirt and can't wait for the right weather to wear it!

PS I tried on the Halogen striped skirt and it also fit me in an 8, so I'm betting the 12 will work for you in the CE.

Thanks Janet, it is very helpful. I am so much closer to pulling that trigger...
