NAS update

recieved the Caslon ruffle trim jacket.. it's going back. I looked like I was wearing a padded ski coat.

Kut from Kloth... the skinnies are keepers, the bootcuts are not as long as I had hoped so they are going back.

Ordered another $250 today.. 2 Karen Kane tops, and the Bellatrix tunic in both blue and red. I ordered mediums in those... how did those of you who bought them find the sizing? I should have ordered both sizes but the small said size 2-4 and I can't imagine that would fit me in the chest or shoulders.

i'm so glad the skinnies work for you too. I was disappointed in the Kut boot cuts - totally different fit.

Too bad about the Caslon ruffle jacket, Kim. I thought that would be really cute on you. I tried it, but I don't need any extra bulk at the chest, so I put it back too! I also bought the Black Kut from Kloth skinnies, I had to size up in them, how depressing! Can't wait to see the rest of your stuff. I'm going to post pictures of mine in a minute!

Kim- the Bellatrix tunic runs a little small across the chest, so it's good that you sized up.

argh... just submitted another 200+ order hoping for some nice bootcuts. I ordered Jag and 7FAMK. My husband really should lock me up.
Khris..glad to hear that.
Carole- I do think it's common to size up in skinnies. I am going with the larger of the 2 sizes that I ordered as well.

Queenie - I love Jag jeans. They are my favorites for everyday wear. I have them in all styles and colors. I always get a 0P or a 2P and they never disappoint. I have Jag shorts and capris and skinnies and cords but the ones I wear the most are the bootcut.

Cookie- thanks for the affirmation on the Jag jeans. I tried some on last year and loved the fit, but for some reason didn't buy them.
How much do you find them stretching throughout the day?

Hi Kim! I got the medium in the Bellatrix tunic. I believe Cathy got the small. I had looked at the size chart before I went to the store so I had it in my mind that I was a medium. Probably could have sized down but I like the loose tunic look and I didn't want to skimp on the length. I've got to believe you'd be a medium too.

that's what I was thinking Kelly... I want it drapey and long enough to camouflage my rear end in my skinnies

I tried the Bellatrix on in medium and small. I could have gotten away with the small, but such a sheer woven fabric might have pulled out the seams behind the arms - where I strain woven tops. If I bought one, I would have gotten the medium -- it is flowy and a bit sheer, so it does not add bulk.

Queenie - The only pair of Jags (out of 20 or 25) that I have ever had "bag" on me are the bermuda shorts I bought a few months ago. They have way too much stretch. Yesterday I scrubbed 4 bathroom floors on my hands and knees and my bootcuts looked the same at the end of the day as they did at the beginning. I have a new pair of Jag skinnies that I just got at NAS to wear inside my boots and I wonder how they will do but have not worn them yet. They fit fantastic though and I am hopeful they will stay like that throughout the day. I am so happy with this brand of jeans. I also have two pair of Jag bootcut cords. I wore the gray ones to a tailgate, through a long football game, and to a bar afterwards where I did a lot of dancing and the fit stayed perfect.

thanks Cookie- that is good to know. I am getting so excited about my Jag jeans I can hardly stand it.

Sounds like you hit the sizing right - I bought the Bellatrix in S and it's none too long on me. With skinnies I like tunics to hit mid-thigh and this one just makes it. It could actually be a tad longer for my taste.

I thought the same thing Laura, but then I never pictured it as a tunic- just a longer top.

Thanks for the update! Can't wait to see the rest of the stuff on.

well, since my camera is in Ireland at the moment, it will be a couple more weeks before I can get any pictures posted most likely. Hopefully I will have weeded through the "oh heavens no" and just have the "it has possibilities" left.

Ah! I didn't now that your camera had gone on holiday. Hope it has a nice time :0)

Fun trip for the camera! Glad to hear the skinnies worked!! I'm tempted to try them, too...

Sounds like you ordered a bunch more good options. I had a pair of Jag jeans that I loved and destroyed - super comfortable.

I'm looking forward to the other jackets...if they don't work, I think we need to start a phone bank and call Kenneth Cole stores about that jacket.
