To be honest I wasn't that impressed. Maybe that was because it was my first year doing preselection and I only looked at the Encore department. There just wasn't that much to choose from - maybe 20 unique items, and none of them discounted to a price that felt like a real bargain. The quality was very good and if I were someone who needed to rebuild their entire wardrobe this would be a great option.

I didn't end up having time to ask about seeing any of the shoes, and I've filled up a shopping cart on the Nordstrom site with pairs I'd like to try. Now I'm deciding whether to order them all or just a couple.

But, what I did get -

the Sejour purple knit pencil skirt, which I'm pretty sure is going back although it fits well, because I don't think it would be that versatile a color for a bottom in my wardrobe (what else can you wear with it but black and gray anyway?)

a Nic & Zoe cardigan in a heathered yellow which I really like the fit of, but am totally not sure about the color of, because I rarely wear yellow

and the taupe leather jacket which is currently sitting in the back of my closet waiting for my Calvinist sticker shock to wear off before I can evaluate its merits and flaws accurately

Hopefully I'll have some time during daylight hours soon to take some pics and post a K/R. Off to read everyone else's results!
