NAS keep or return, round 1 - YouLookFab Forum

Sorry for all these NAS posts - everyone must be getting sick of them!

#1-3: Paul Green booties. They have to be an 11, since they were still $$ on sale. I really need "non-black" booties, and I like them and they seem pretty comfortable. My big question is - can I wear them with anything but flares/bootcuts?

#4: Halogen button back cowl. I like the color and the neck, but the sleeves seem to be an awkward short length for a dolman.

#5: Classiques Entier cowl. The neck was driving me crazy when I tried this on, but maybe I'm just not used to cowls. What do you think?

#6: This is the top that the other MN Sara showed - I'm on the fence, as it's polyester, altho maybe that's OK for fall/winter. Also, does it seem to big? The shoulders are really draping off.

#7: This is the plum cardi I'm pretty sure about - I think it will be good with pencil skirts. I may order in another color (like the purple magenta in #4?)

THANKS!

I like everything especially the booties if they are comfortable. The only thing that gives me pause is the print in 6, I'm just not that crazy about it... How would you wear it. I would probably wear the booties with skinny's, bootcuts and flares. I love the slightly distressed finish.

I like the drape of #5 much more than #4. As I mentioned before I was not thrilled with the quality of #4, it is too flimsy IMO.
Booties look good with bootcuts. Can you try them on with skinnies and skirts and post pictures? I think we need to see a full-length pictures to decide if they work with skirts: so much depends on leg shape and proportions.

#1-Love these booties, they look like they will be good for flares/bootcuts only though. I really like them on you. I vote keep.
#4-I like the drape on this, the color is nice too. But I vote return because of #5 below.
#5-I prefer this one to the previous one both for color and the drape. It doensn't look as boxy as the previous one. I vote keep.
#6-I really like this, the print is lovely on you and the length looks good. I don't mind the shoulders on you here. I vote keep.
#7-I really like this cardigan on you, both color and fit. I am happy these are shorter this year. If you have the need, they are worth duplicating. I may as well.

1) Love the booties! If they are comfy and you see yourself wanting to wear them often, then definitely keep!
4) I really like the button back cowl. I saw that in the catalog and was smitten. Keep.
5) I like #4 better than this one. I dont' care for the shape and fit of the sleeve and I like the looser fit of the Halogen across the bust better than this.
6) return. I think you can do better. Did you try the blue printed blouse that Patience modeled in her post?
7) great little basic cardi... but I have to be honest and say I'm not doing flips over the color of this on you. Perhaps styled differently it will have a bit more pizzazz?

i love the classiques cowl color on you BUT i prefer the drape of the halogen. if i picked one, i'd go with the halogen, since the color also looks fab on you.

agree with QM on tunic #6 and cardi#7. esp cardi color. washes you out a bit. more saturated color around the face in a scarf?

I love the booties, I have a similar pair and wear them frequently during cooler months with my jeans. I really like #4 too, great color on you!!

No we are talking, Sarah

All items but the cardigan make my top picks list for Friday - but the cardigan looks smashing on you.

You can also wear the Paul Greens with straight legs. If you can do the heel, these are an 11 in my book.

WRT the Classiques cowl, you have to make sure that the seams are on your shoulder and pull the cowl down. That way it stays in place. I bought these and I know that they will be a wardrobe staple.

The blouse looks great that size!

What awesome clothes you chose. I prefer the second cowl over the first, great colour on you and I prefer the slimmer line. The cardigan is just so awesome...love the fit and drape of the fabric.

- love those Paul Green booties on you. Are you trying to wear them with skirts?

- I like this top and think it fills a different need than the CE cowl. This one is more casual and has a pouffier silouhette with the banded bottom.

- I am partial to this one and will go back and look at this color myself. The cowl has that weighted bit in front. It took a moment to puul the neck out, drop the weight down inside, then the neck cowled just right. But maybe you already knew that

- I am not as smitten with this on myself as at first, so it looks lovely on you, but does the neck stay up in back? Mine falls backwards unless I have a jacket over it I am not sure I want an annoying blouse. Otherwise I love the colors in it, the shape, etc.

- cardigan is cute and pretty in color and so necessary for us to have a wardrobe of choices for the 10 months we need them! I like this 'girlfriend' length on you

Thanks, everyone. I'm leaning towards keeping the booties and Classiques cowl and cardi perhaps in this or another color, and am still deciding about the others.

I'll order the raspberry cardi and let you all help me decide which one to keep (I wish that they were offering the blue in petite. aaargh).

HOW GREAT TO GET FEEDBACK - it helps soooo much.

I am really loving it all!!

I love the booties. Love the cowl neck tops. I will definitely be on the look out for these. Great haul. I really like number 6 I think the colors are stunning on you!

Aida

Great booties! 11. I prefer the blue cowl for you, it really looks lovely! I'm a fan of that awkward dolman short sleeve length like in #4, but it is a boxy style so definitely consider that when deciding whether to keep it (I tend to like less boxiness in fall/winter items). #6 looks great. #7, I like the fit but not crazy about the color for you.

Love the booties, I think they will look great with jeans! I think you could try them with a skirt and tights too and see how they look.

All the tops are fabulous. I especially love the blouse. Great finds!
