NAS items arrived - YouLookFab Forum

It look a week, but they arrived yesterday. I expect that Nordies is having some supply chain issues, late arrivals extra, and they actually arrived before the date that Nordstrom’s had quoted when i placed the order…and since I won’t be wearing them for awhile, no big deal…

anyway, now for the reviews.
1st up the the definite 100% keeper. The Sam Edelman Lex Boot in ivory. I knew from the moment I opened the box, LOL, that these were keepers. They look and feel soooo much richer than $120 price would suggest. The color is great, and love that they are water resistant. And they fit great, the side zip makes them easy to get on an off.

2nd the Frame boot. They are calling this a Chelsea boot, to me its more of a cowboy style. Also love this boot, but sizing wise, its a smidge big. It’s labeled a 6/36.5…90% of the time i take a US 6, 70%-80% of the time i’m a 36, the other times a 36.5. I have not tried this with a thick wool sock (I just can’t do that now, way to hot) I’ve now ordered the 5.5/36 to compare. This boot is leaning towards keep, as i think either the smaller size or a winter sock will alleviate the fit issue. I was concerned that these boots would be hard to get on and off (i have another pair in a similar style with the higher shaft and they are difficult), but the way the goring is and the length and position of the back strap made these easy to get on and off. Update: the 5.5/36 arrived and these fit perfectly. So I’d say, at least at the smaller sizes these run a smidge big

Finally, the wild card coat. IRL, it looks nice. The brown is a rich deep color, and the hand of the fabric is nice and not plasticy. But its huge! I felt like i was drowning in this coat. The arm length was, to me, disproportionately long. But I’m glad i tried it.

Still hoping the Spanx “leather” joggers come back in stock in my size.

thanks for looking. As always all comments and suggestions are welcome and appreciated

Both boots look great! The SE look especially good, I think, because you don’t have ginormous feet like me. Are you thinking of a smaller size coat?

Killer boots x 2! Aren't the Lex nice. So comfortable--not a bit stiff. I really like that coat and wish it fit. The style and fabrication look so cool. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much for sharing pictures and your detailed reviews of these boots! I love them both on you. I’m awaiting the SE boots but seeing the Frame boots on your feet makes me want to order those, too. I agree about the “cowboy” look vs. Chelsea. But they look great on.

Too bad about the coat - I like the color on you but even my non-expert eye can see you are drowning in it.

Great boots - both look smashing on you! My feet is too long to rock those . The coat is too big and probably needs to style in a specific way - not sure I like it as much. Thank you for pics and reviews.

Agree that the coat is too big but I see why you picked it! Very cool look on the right lady.

ophelia

Both pairs of boots are gorgeous on you. I particularly like the 1st (ivory) pair w/ the light colored jeans & top. You do monochromatic (?) well!
I'm vaguely envious; my workplace & the long sometimes hazardous walk to it quickly slaughters light-toned shoes.

Really like the Lex boots a lot! The coat is very cool. Did you try it with the belt? Also I wanted to ask if the Old Navy boyfriend jeans worked for you?

I quite like that coat , and it’s too bad tbe sleeves weren’t reigned in a bit . Nice Frame boots too . I can’t make up my mind about what I want for fall boot silhouettes -

I thought about trying the coat in the smaller size, but the sleeves on this where just so wrong that I’m not sure it was worth the effort

Nikki sadly the Old Navy jeans did not work. They were close, but would have required the waist to be taken in, and I didn’t love them enough to invest that king of effort or money

Lisa, it’s kind of funny because I did know that I was going to look for a creamy/off/almost white boot this fall because the pair I got a couple of years ago was starting to show their age, and I’ve had combat boots on my brain, but I never thought I’d find them in 1 boot!

Aquamarine

Wow, both boots look great. The Frame boot is very sleek and reminds me of Angie’s white boots. You’ll love that zipper on the Lex…I have two pairs of Pikolinos combat boots and I would never have purchased them if they didn’t have the side zipper.

Too bad about the coat. I quite like it in theory and it would’ve looked fantastic on you if it fit properly.

Kathie

The boots are fabulous! I hope you get the right fit on the Frame ones. The pointy toe is really elegant on you.

rachylou

Yes, the boots are winners! Too bad about the coat… I like a brown puffy

Firecracker (Sharan)

Those boots are great looking on you--both of them. I hope the Frame pair ends up working for you. They really look like your style.

I also really like your belt and could use one like that myself!

Too bad about the coat. It does look like a nice color and fabric.

Wow, you make ivory boots look extra cool! I'm glad they worked out and I can't wait to see how you style them.

Janet

Both boots look great! I’m bummed about the coat because the style looks promising, just clearly at least a full size too big. Might you be able to try a size down?

Bijou

Love both boots on you. The coat looks 2 sizes too big, it is massive on you.

Thinking more about the coat, I’m going to put this on my revisit list for October and see if Nordstrom’s marked it down farther and if the smaller size is available,I’m try it again.

Oh good! I really like it for you so I’m crossing fingers. Keep us posted.

Suz

Both boots really look great. Fun purchases!

And yes -- I think the coat in a smaller size might have possibilities. It's a neat style.

Kyle

Both those boots are rich and gorgeous looking. Great coat, too, if you can size down.

Barbara Diane

How fun to have two such different boots in the same/similar color. Too bad about the coat, I hope it comes back in a smaller size and reduced in price. Good luck on getting the joggers.

RobinF

Love both boots. I was wondering if the higher shaft of the Lex would work under jeans and you answered that for me

The coat does look intentionally oversized but probably not that much. Too bad, it's a fun style.

love both of those boots on you!

Update:
The smaller size Frame Boots arrived-and the fit is perfect. So another keeper.
Still stalking the Spanx joggers

CocoLion

Enabled. I ordered the cream boots, because they look so good on you!

CocoLion —great to see you again…i can see these boots working really well for your style. Hope you are staying safe and things are good for you

Eliza

Boots are both great and can play different roles in your wardrobe. The coat is so big that it is hard to determine its intended silhouette. It appears a bit boxy in the Nordstrom photos, with the belt providing the waist definition. Worth a try in a smaller size, as it is refreshing to see a new take on a quilted coat. Good NAS for you so far.

The boots are great! Keepers for sure
Did you try layering under the coat yet?

KILLER boots!

LOVE the white-out.
