NAS K/Rs: Zipper & Space-Age Sweaters, Petty Boots & Zella jacket

NAS round 2 (or is is 3?) items trickling in.

Space-Age Sweater http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/hi.....sultback=0

Shown in pictures 1 and 2. "Beam me up, Scotty." Also picture 3, which is not so Star-Trekky. Do I need a bigger size so it fits more like on the model? Is it better long or folded under? Or neither?

Petty Boots http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/sa.....RRWidgetID

Shown in pictures 1,2 and 4. I am going to be honest, although they're cool looking and comfortable, I don't think they flatter me. My feet are quite small and this makes them look even more disproportionate to my body. Do you see what I see (especially #4)?

Black zipper back sweater http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/on.....sultback=0

Shown in pictures 4, 5 & 6. No brainer from the front! I love it! Perfect length, and the higher crew neckline isn't bad on me. But what about the back? As Zap said, it's not doing my problem area any favors. Maybe that's why it wasn't photographed from that direct angle by Nordstrom.

Zella Moto Jacket http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ze.....sultback=0

Shown in # 7, 8, and 9. What do you think?

Thank you for your help!!!

If you ask me, they're all winners. I love the sweatshirt unfolded, the boots look good to me and the sweater is really flattering. But I am not a fan of the white stripe down the back of the sweater, so I would try it in a different colour. That's just me though!

Thanks Kirti. Unfortunately they are sold out of the sweater in all colors! Yesterday they had a purple sweater in size S left but I didn't act quickly enough. (When I ordered they only had my size in black, but occasionally the colors pop back for a second.)

Denise, I'm unsure about the "space age" sweater. It's looks so much more shiny in your pics than the Nordstroms photo. I really like the idea of but I'm just not sure.

The boots look great and I don't see what you see. Could it just be a case of your eye adjusting to the very light color? I also have small feet so I know where you are comi g from but I don't thi k this make your feet look disproportionate to the rest of your body.

I love the sweater! The back view is fine. I do not think it is unflattering from behind, the white zipper detail is fab. I would keep this no question.

The moto jacket is a stunning fit. It reads a little like a bike jacket to me but that's just an observation and I do like it. Your pics are of it done up. Would you be wearing it open also?

Deborah, the moto jacket is athletic wear with style. So yes, I can see how it looks like part of a bike outfit. I would wear it open as well as closed, mostly just to knock around the ranch, dog walking etc. It was 100 F today, and even standing next to my A/C unit, I was hot and only had my bra on underneath! It is less fitted than it looks, it's actually less snug on me than on the model.

And thank you for your opinions on the other things, I have questions about the space age sweater as well.

I like the sweater on you. You don't really have a problem area i would be keeping mine, if it looked like yours. I'm still on the fence. That zelda jacket fits great too.

The only one I'm not too sure about is the space age sweater but I'm thinking the photo does not do it justice.

The Zella jacket is fantastic on you! And I love the python booties on you and hope you keep these babies. The zipper sweater is also a keeper.

Not keen on the silver sweater, it lacks the feeling of warmth I normally see in your clothing and style, which is something that always draws me into your photos and outfits.

Ooohhh, I love the black jacket, so rock-and-roll cool! Looks really great on you.

And you don't have a problem area, my dear!

I love everything but the space-age sweater. For some reason that shape of it isn't grabbing me. But everything else is super fab. Those booties are so great with your hair.

BTW, I have the Only Mine on order in S in teal. I'm guessing it's going to be too big on me when it arrives, in case your'e interested. PM me if you are.

Love the back zipper sweater, the leather moto jacket and the boots. All winners! I actually like the shiny space age sweater, although it's shinier than I thought it would be. I do think that if you want to wear the space age sweater unfolded and long, you may want to size up to get more of an oversized drapey look.

Love the Zella jacket! It looks great on you. The zipper sweater is my next favorite, but I'm afraid I'm not a big fan of the space age sweater either.

The shoes look great to me with your skin and hair. I also worry that my feet are too small for the rest of my body (5.5 at 5' 4") but I don't see it on you. And shouldn't pale, flat shoes make your feet look bigger, not smaller?

I am not convinced by the space-age sweater, but maybe I could be with a different outfit. I am also not convinced by the back-zip sweater. I think on anyone with a rounder bum, the curve in the zipper draws the eye right to it, which is not necessarily what you want no matter how great your ass is.

The zella jacket looks fantastic closed. How does it look open? Is this a small?

I actually love the space age sweater on you!! (should add that I gravitate toward shiny, pretty objects I think it's a fun juxtaposition between glam and casual.

I had decided to return my Petty booties because I couldn't conjure up ways to wear, but here you've made them look so fab with black skinnies and light sweater that now I'm back on the fence about mine. . .you should keep yours!

Only Mine is great and if you want a different color, save it for exchanging power. Those returns have to keep dribbling in after NAS. Dont' feel bad about missing the S online, I've had more than a few of those where I actually get to order but the order gets cancelled because it really wasn't available -- online must take many minutes to reflect inventory changes.

Zella looks great for what you're describing. The sleeves look a bit long, but maybe that was because you had the thumbs in?

I love the back-zip sweater (no problem areas are showing up on my screen!), LOVE the booties, and the Zella jacket (we're twins - I bought that jacket too!). My only reservation is on the space-age sweater. I'm tempted to say size up so it's a bit of a looser fit?

I like the shiny sweater myself. A lot actually. But I think it looks better the way you've worn it in the first photo, scrunched a bit. Pulled down straight, not so much.

I think the zipped sweater looks fine from behind, myself. Makes you look kind of curvy, which I think is nice. And the boots don't make your feet look out of proportion at all.

Love the booties they make my feet look bigger keep them for sure. I like the color of the space sweater with the booties (bookend) but not crazy about the shine. Love the leather jacket keep and the only mine sweater is pretty but the white zipper does stand out quite a bit maybe different color.

All good finds, IMO.
I prefer the metallic sweater left long, and think it would look nice with a long pendant. I know you have some cool ones.

The zipper sweater looks great and I have no idea what "problem area" you're talking about!

I love the python booties (biased, because I have them, too). It's funny, because since I have big feet, I didn't even know that anybody worried about theirs looking too small. I thought that was the goal, and desirable. The grass is always greener!
Seriously, I think they look great on you, with no proportion problems.

Love the Zella jacket!

I love all except the "beam me up scotty" one. The booties are adorable but maybe you are just not used to the light footwear with the dark pants. If you were a lighter color pair of pants I'm sure your eye will adjust! The moto jacket is outstanding!

Absolutely LOVE #4 - #6. That zip back sweater is so cute both from the front and from the back. Don't see what you see on the booties. They look fab. Zella jacket looks stunning on you. Fabulous fit. Space-age sweater looks best long IMO.

I'm with Janet, and I like them all! I think the space sweater can be either dressed more or less futuristic - more with saturated colors like black and neons, less with light wash jeans. I have NO idea what you mean about the shoes and your adorable feet!

And even if you decide to do away with all the rest, I absolutely forbid you to return the Zella jacket!

To my eye the black sweater is flattering, not accentuating negatives. I'm neutral on the foil sweater, love the booties and the Zella jacket.

I maybe in the minority but I love them all on you. I think the shiny sweater ( I bought the same) just needs to be styled with a conservative or darker colored topper like a black blazer or a black/burgundy moto jacket.

I also have disproportionately small feet (size 5, 5'2.5") so I understand your concerns, but your feet look fine in #4 to me. Perhaps take a side profile shot as well?

The space age sweater is AMAZING! I'm so excited to see you wearing it, Denise! Trust me. It's not photographing all that well here and looks much harder and shinier than in real life. It's warm and cozy when it's on and when you are staring at it in the flesh so to speak. Anna didn't think that it draped well, but I think that it drapes really well. It's unexpected that we had different views on this! Size looks good Denise.

I do not see the problem that you see with the boots at all.

All items are wins in my book. FWIW

Ah! I'm so glad Angie sees the space-age sweater like I do -- I was coming back in here to give it a bit of love, because I didn't give any specifics when I posted earlier.

I actually like it on you enough that I was a little bummed I passed right by it at NAS.

I think the space age sweater would look fantastic semi-tucked.

The OM sweater looks good on you - from the back I can't tell if it's handing straight or curving under. If it curves, I can see why one might feel like it was following the contours of ones butt too much.

I do like the Zella jacket on you as well.

I have the biggest crush on your style, Denise. Every item is fab on you and... you are our fab fourth in our Zella Moto girl rock group!!

You look so fab in the space-age sweater, that I have to copycat you. . .well, that and the fact that the new size I needed in the Only Mine suddenly showed up so I *had* to place an order

I hope I can pull it off as well as you!
