NAS Smackdown! Silk tops and KUT jeans.

Veteran

Here's the first of my NAS loot! Please help me decide.

Two similar blue silk tunics...which one? Pleone or Joie?

KUT skinny jeans - I got these home and decided that they were very similar to an Ann Taylor pair that I already own. I have no problem keeping these if you like them better.

I apologize in advance for the photo overload. I couldn't get the collage format to work and wanted to show you all views. (not styled yet)

Photos 1-3 Pleone silk tunic in Teal

Photos 4-7 Joie silk tunic in Peacock Blue

Photos 8-9 NAS Kut from the Kloth skinny jeans (length ok?)

Photos 10-11 Ann Taylor skinny jeans (length ok?)

Photo 12 My AGL flats in slate shimmer!

Thanks if you made it this far! Once again, sorry about the ton of pictures.

WOW that color is gorgeous on you!! Very slight preference for the Joie's neckline, and slight preference for the rear view of the AT jeans - I think the self-color stitching is more chic and more versatile, and the fit looks a tad bit sleeker overall. Great haul!

hmm, I prefer the Pleione blouse to the Joie. as far as the jeans... it's a toss up. I can't tell any difference in fit, and both rear views look fab to me.

Wow...gorgeous.

I prefer the Joie tunic. I like the slightly sleeker line.

Both jeans are awesome and don't have a preference.

Plieone blouse (teal) hands down. Much more flattering silhouette. Awesome. The length looks shorter on the Joie blouse (?) and looks a bit too boxy.

I also prefer the AT skinnies...for the subtle pocket stitching mentioned earlier.

I prefer the Plieone blouse, although I may be biased by the fact that that particular shade of teal is my favorite color. I like the length and neckline better too, and the cuff detailing is lovely.

Both skinnies fit you very well, and I agree that they are super similar. I also prefer the AT ones slightly because of the dark stitching. The white stitching is actually why I did not pull the trigger on those Kut jeans myself.

I like the Pleone tunic best. The jeans i honestly couldn't really tell the difference so i think you could go either way?

I like the Pleone tunic best. Both jeans are great in front but I like the back of the AT ones a little better. You look really good in skinnies!

Good grief, can you look bad in anything?! I vote keep both tunics, but exchange one for another color - they both look SO fab on you! Would you wear the Pleione in coral? And the jeans are a toss-up - keep them both if you need another pair.

Ditto what Janet said! I have a slight preference for the first tunic, but they are both really lovely.

Those flats are fantastic on you. Both blouses and both jeans are also great. I prefer the look of no contrast stitching.

I like it all - but I do like the first blouse better, I think I prefer the longer length with skinnies, and the color is slightly deeper and more flattering on your skin.

Do you ever not look amazing?

I prefer the Pleione top for the detailing around the neck and the slightly deeper color. Gorgeous on you.

I also prefer the AT jeans solely for the darker stitching. Otherwise, they both fit and flatter nicely.

Love the flats (and I know your feet love them, too!)

Hmmm, I'm seeing a trend here!

I'm glad to hear that my AT jeans get the thumbs up! I don't know what I was thinking when I picked up the KUT's, I guess I didn't realize that they were so similar to the AT's. My husband also noticed the white stitching right off the bat and prefers my original ones. I'm taking the KUTs back and that's NAS $$ that can go towards something else.

I am still flip-flopping wildly on the tops!

I could not choose; both of the blouses are beautiful! I like the jeans although the white stitching is kind of loud for me.

I prefer the Joie, tucked and untucked. Gorgeous color. Very versatile style. Both jeans look like they were made for you. And how can you go wrong with those fab flats. I really enjoy your style, and you do indeed look great in everything!

I prefer Joie' top - I like the sides better, Pleione is cut too deeply on the sides for my liking, but otherwise you cancot do wrong with either of these tops.
It looks like you have made your mind about the jeans already.
Great shoes!

I prefer the Pleone top. To me the color and shape look more seasonally neutral - could wear year round, and more versatile to lots of accessorizing. The details on the Pleone are pretty.

I have the Ann Taylor skinnies and love them, though you rock them better. They look great on you. I agree about the same color stitching making them look sleeker. And I'm not crazy about the light topstitching on the others.

I prefer the Joie blouse by about a million percent - better quality and fit. But! The Pleione is a great more "kick-around" blouse option. Please keep both if you can.

Those KILLER flats were made for you!

I prefer the Pleone tunic for both color and versatility (would love to see it with the sleeves down). If you like a bit of scrunch to your skinnies both of these look great. If you do not like the scrunch, either hem or return.

The AT jeans and the Joie Tunic! I like the neckline and colour of the Joie Tunic. I think it suits you much better. The colour of the first one is nice but I dont think it great on you whereas the Peacock Blue is DEVINE! Love the shoes.

I'm only here to say how wonderful you look and I prefer the AT jeans! Whatever top you keep you can't lose and new flats are very nice!

Thanks, Ladies! I'm going with the AT jeans. You all have pinpointed exactly the features I like best about both blouses.

Angie and Sarah, you are such enablers! The fabrication of the Joie top can't be beat. I think I might just have to keep both tops...the Pleone for my MOTG running around and the Joie for a dressier look. I'm slowly making my way over to the Team Blouse bench! I'm tickled pink that the AGL's got the 'K' rating! I was at the store at 8:30 am last Friday and was able to score the last pair in my size!

Joie tunic by a long shot, and I'm glad you were able to make a decision on the jeans. I really like that you can also tuck the Joie tunic. Makes it much more versatile. The flats are so cute!
