Ok...the Maggy London wrap dress isn't part of NAS but I bought it at the same time so am including it here. I'm not going to say anything about either item as I'm curious to the response. I'll reveal my thoughts on these a little later on.
Sorry for the no make up, poopy hair day - feeling worse than yesterday, but couldn't wait to post my K/R anyway.

O.M.G !!! I can't get past the first couple of pics. This is beyond a 10 !!
Amazing dress on you WOW. The top is nice but I can't get past the dress.

Yes and yes.
Jjsloane replied 11 years ago
WOW and WOW WOW WOW. You MUST keep. What hair? You look AMAZING in these 2 items. BEST EVER. (and you don't have to say anything your poker face in the photos kind of gives it away but who could blame you) #5 is a killer!
I love the dress on you -- wowie. The shirt is fine, good even, but the dress pwns the shirt so hard I can't be objective!

Jem replied 11 years ago
I was going to say what Isabel said! You always look great, but these are beyond that! Wow, you really scored at NAS!!! I'm really happy for you!
merwoman replied 11 years ago
Oh yeah - this is/you are gorgeous! Who can see beyond your megawatt smile to even notice hair!
Abie replied 11 years ago
The top is a yay for me but ....
That DRESS!!!!! There aren't enough exclamations for me to properly convey how much I love that on you.
Makrame replied 11 years ago
Amazing! Great fit, and both are "10" (or "10+") on you.
Tamara replied 11 years ago
Oh! They're beautiful! I love the dress, but that stripey top is my favorite.
Echo replied 11 years ago
BOTH of these items look fantastic on you! Perfection. They both look like they fit perfectly and they both flatter you. Keep, keep!
Traci replied 11 years ago
I just love it when the Ylf model looks better than the catalogue model does in the item. I was luke warm on the dress before I saw it on you. It was made for you. Just stunning!
Sveta replied 11 years ago
Both are real winners, Shannon! You first NAS was an absolute success!
HelenInCanada replied 11 years ago
What poopy hair day?! I don't see it. Anyhoo...the dress looks smart on you, Shannon. It fits well, and looks like the kind of thing you can dress up or down, for work or for events, etc. LOVE the banded tee. I know it's been seen around the forum quite a bit, but I love the turquoise and black. VERY flattering.
Suz replied 11 years ago
FANTASTIC!!! Wow. Those are beyond gorgeous on you. Especially the dress. The top is great, too, but wow, the DRESS!!
catgirl replied 11 years ago
Keep them both - you are on the biggest roll EVAH!
Transcona Shannon replied 11 years ago
YAY * clapping hands* - I'm so glad you all like both items 'cause I LOVE them both!!! I can't hold a candle to Rita in the dress (she looked AMAZING) but love the fit, the fabrication, the weight, the drape, etc. It's the first wrap dress that has ever fit me right and it is NOT going back!
I also love the VC banded tee. Some of you may remember I have the VC black/white striped tee with the rounded neck from last year and love it, which is what prompted me to order this version.
So far, all my NAS stuff has worked well (with the exception of needing to shorten the sleeves of the houndstooth blouse). Still left to come are the Rachel Roy tree print skirt and the Blondo boots.

LOVE this dress and all of this. Really. Love. All.
Jem replied 11 years ago
Shannon, Rita does look AMAZING in this dress, but you look just as AMAZING! (Geez, it makes me want to buy that dress, since you two both look so good!)
lynne replied 11 years ago
Love both, and you look so happy in them!
Mellllls replied 11 years ago
both look great!
christy replied 11 years ago
Wow, I can hardly get past that dress to look at the shirt!!! Okay, just looked at both. That dress is spectacular on you (and Rita!!!) - love the neckline, love the print, love everything about it. The shirt is great too, but that dress is a showstopper. Keep both!
KathyL replied 11 years ago
Had to comment again to say ... ditto what Jem said! You look fantabulous in your own right! Rita looked great, but seriously this looks *just* as good on you!
Jaime replied 11 years ago
That dress looks STUNNING on you. I love the top also. Wow.
Kyle replied 11 years ago
Well, hello, Queen Wrap. My goodnesss. Stunning dress...imagine all the shoe and boot possibilities it offers. The VC top is stellar. Enjoy!
Debbie replied 11 years ago
Love the dress! The top is wonderful but the dress is devine.
Keep them both.

AAAAAHHHHH!!!! That dress! That dress on you! STUNNING! Somebody please pick my jaw up off the floor!
The top is stellar too!
harmonica replied 11 years ago
STUNNING!!! Oh that dress.... wear, wear, wear!!!! The top is perfect too!
Deborah replied 11 years ago
So glad to see you are keeping both. The dress is stunning and the most perfect fit as is the top.
Transcona Shannon replied 11 years ago
Thank you all so much! I must say that this dress has single handedly restored my faith in the wrap dress. And if all Maggy London dresses feel this good, I may become one loyal customer!
modgrl replied 11 years ago
OMG OMG We are dress twinnies!! You look amazing in both of these!!
WOWWWW!!!!
Transcona Shannon replied 11 years ago
Isn't this dress just awesome Rita??? And just think, if the Blondo boots fit we'll be total twins!
Jonesy replied 11 years ago
Hmmm, call me a spanner but I don't really care for either one of these.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA, I kid, I kid!!!! The wrap dress is gorgeous on Rita and gorgeous on you! I really, really love how it tapers near the hem--it fits you beautifully and looks so chic. The top is really wonderful too. Total scores!
Vix replied 11 years ago
Hi TS --
I know you would die of boredom, but if you never wore anything EXCEPT variations of that dress when out and about...wow. Just stunning on you!
Nadya replied 11 years ago
Keep Keep Keep Keep Keep Keep Keep Keep Keep !!!! And enjoy how wonderful you look in them.
Ginny replied 11 years ago
Love that dress it looks awesome on you!!! I don't see poopy hair just a megawatt smile!!
cheryle (Dianthus) replied 11 years ago
I wasn't sure from the thumbnail pic but then opened up the full version and was wowed. The print and fit of the dress are perfect and neckline does wonderful things on you. I also love the striped top. The striping seems to hit in all the right places and the color is beautiful.
Two absolute winners. Nicely done Shannon.
shiny replied 11 years ago
10 for the top -- and 10,000 for the dress! The only problem with that dress is that you are going to probably find it becomes your "go to" dress since it is just that fabulous. Maybe you ought to duplicate while you can? :-)
JR replied 11 years ago
I most especially love the top with the jeans. It looks so good on you it hurts.
Transcona Shannon replied 11 years ago
Jonesy - you are too funny!!!
Vix - I want this dress in about a gazillion colours and prints! I have honestly never felt this good in a dress. It's so comfortable and fits just ever so!
Thanks everyone!
JulieJohn replied 11 years ago
I second everything, and just wanna say your smile is the best thing in the photos.
cheryle (Dianthus) replied 11 years ago
I didn't even notice the skinny jeans on the first look. I must have been too bowled over by the dress and top. Are they new? They look great on you. I think they are the best I've seen in fit for a jean for you and that says a lot because your white ones rule.
Suz replied 11 years ago
I am coming back to say that I have become seriously interesting in Maggie London dresses as a result of this. Wow, that is fabulous.
Transcona Shannon replied 11 years ago
Dianthus - these are the Wit & Wisdom skinny jeans that Angie had recommended at Nordstrom before Christmas (I think it was around there). They've been my first try at skinny jeans and I really like the fit. In fact, I liked them so much I bought an exact duplicate when they went on sale at Nordie's about two months ago so that I would have a back up pair. What I like about them is they are a higher rise (no muffin top) and don't bag out AT ALL! Thanks for the compliment.
Thanks Suz - I too am now "all over" Maggy London dresses. I love that they come in petite (at least most styles) and now that I know my size with that brand, I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one...or two.....or three....
I started playing dress up when I was 4 years old and haven't stopped since! My income doesn't match my tastes so it's all about figuring out how to thrift my way to a fashionable life while tossing in a few delectable items.
