Will try again tomorrow.</p> <p>Here's what I got today:<br /> Amber Sun mesh knit top in b/w print, can't find online<br /> Olivia Moon casual knit dolman top in green and gray, ditto</p> <p>And here's what I had them order because they didn't have my size:<br /> <a>Foxcroft pintuck shirt</a> in purple<br /> Amber Sun cowl-neck tank in cream and black, again can't find online</p> <p>I tried on the <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/amber-sun-pencil-skirt/3170944?origin=category&amp;resultback=192">Amber Sun pencil skirt</a> in a tweedy b/w, and it was really nice and fit well - just too short for me. This <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/amber-sun-ponte-knit-jacket/3170949?origin=category&amp;resultback=960">Amber Sun knit jacket</a> was really nice too, with welt pockets and sweater-knit revers. Both are NAS sale priced. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accidental-nas#post-387476 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 02:03:54 +0000 Debora 387476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you scored and that cardigan looks super comfy! I love that it comes in so many colors, will need to check it out. Show us pictures if you can! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accidental-nas#post-387467 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 01:12:00 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 387467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, also check out the Michael Michael Kors ponte skinnies - I tried them on today and they were great but again too short for me. They were on sale for NAS too I believe.</p> <p>Update on the shoes: I got to the other local N's this afternoon, but they didn't have my size in the flats, and didn't even have the Miz Mooz on the floor. It looks like they still have them online, though. I found another pair of Born neutral flats which I actually liked the look of better, but of course they didn't have them in my size nor were they on sale. I may order them and the heels online and see if I like them.</p> <p>I did end up getting a few more clothing pieces today - I hope to take pics in a few minutes of everything so will post again after I do so. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accidental-nas#post-385924 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 22:04:06 +0000 Anonymous 385924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You scored! Thank you for pointing out the Jag pants. They remind me of my beloved BR Martin skinnies and I could use the charcoal color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accidental-nas#post-385897 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 21:33:30 +0000 taylor 385897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometime we just have to shop...accidently even:)<br /> sounds like a great haul!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accidental-nas#post-385887 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 21:08:15 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 385887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will definitely try to get some pics!</p> <p>Sarah, thanks for the feedback on the flats. If they run small I may be SOL because I wear a 10 sometimes shading into a 10.5 and I don't think they have 10.5s. </p> <p>Marianna, the houndstooth skirt is the exact same cut as the black ponte skirt - I tried it on and it fit great but it just didn't seem like my style. I assumed Sejour was the new Nordstrom house brand for plus; glad to hear I'm not nuts (or frightened that I notice these things, not sure). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accidental-nas#post-385752 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 16:19:06 +0000 celia 385752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can we see pictures of this lovely items on you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accidental-nas#post-385723 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 15:34:58 +0000 Angie 385723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds great, Laura. Lets see it on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accidental-nas#post-385662 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 13:48:57 +0000 Freckles 385662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tee hee for not planning to shop and then coming away with great items. The colours are lovely. I'd go try the shoes on, you never know what will fit your feet beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accidental-nas#post-385654 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 12:51:14 +0000 marianna 385654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sejour replaced Caslon/Halogen for Encore! It's a Nordstrom brand. Some nice pieces for sure. I haven't tried that skirt but I looked at the houndstooth version and it's quite nice.</p> <p>I have one of those Bobeau cardigans and they're lovely! They wash and wear well too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accidental-nas#post-385635 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 12:19:15 +0000 sarah 385635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are lovely picks! Just a word of caution on the flats - I have last year's Adele's, and they are SUPER comfy. I ordered the ones you linked to, and they run small, and didn't seem like they'd be as comfy as last year's, so I didn't bother trying the larger size. I still might though, but I was so disappointed that the style had changed to be less comfortable, that I gave up for the time being. The neutral color is quite lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accidental-nas#post-385631 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 12:12:37 +0000 Jjsloane 385631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like what you chose (those Bobeau tops are soooo soft) Another vote for try on all the shoes to see what fits comfortably. Thanks for sharing those Jag pants, I might have to look for those. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accidental-nas#post-385590 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 08:55:50 +0000 Inge 385590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a plan, Laura:-)))</p> <p>And thanks for the pants tip, they do look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accidental-nas#post-385587 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 08:49:08 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 385587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am thinking you are right about the boots, Coco - I could wear them with jeans but I'd rather get a pair that I can wear with both jeans and trousers.</p> <p>Inge, I may see if I can convince my DH to go shopping this weekend (or sneak off? heh). </p> <p>I forgot to mention before that I tried on the <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/jag-jeans-victoria-slim-pants/3169274?origin=category&amp;resultback=224">Jag ski pants</a>; they were really nice but just a titch short on me. If you are looking for slim knit pants that are sturdier than leggings, these are a good option and at a good price for NAS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accidental-nas#post-385576 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 08:35:14 +0000 Inge 385576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the sound of your new cardigan in the violet colour, Laura! The skirt and top look like good basics too.</p> <p>I really like the Born flat and the Miz Mooz pumps. The report ankle boots are cute too. When and how do you want to wear them?<br /> I vote to go try on all these shoes!-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accidental-nas#post-385566 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 07:30:13 +0000 CocoLion 385566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't seen or tried on any of these items, but it looks like you got some great basics. I love the Miz Mooz pumps. I agree the Report boots are casual, if you need something dressier, keep looking. These would work well with jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accidental-nas#post-385563 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 07:11:06 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 385563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had absolutely no plans to go to Nordstrom, but late this afternoon I had no urgent things to finish and couldn't concentrate, so off I went to the mall. It was busy but not crazy busy, although I'm sure later in the evening and this weekend it will be that way. I ended up getting only one thing on anniversary sale, but three things total:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/bobeau-open-front-slub-knit-cardigan/3102744?origin=category&amp;resultback=2272">Bobeau cardigan</a> in violet - IRL the purple is deeper. I've worn the blue one I got last fall (similar, not identical cut) a ton so I am thinking of duplicating in black too - they were out of my size in the store</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/sejour-ponte-knit-skirt-plus/3170983?origin=category&amp;resultback=1488">Sejour ponte knit skirt</a> - is Sejour a new Nordstrom line for plus? Everything they had in that brand was really lovely, but this was the only piece I couldn't live without. I should cull a black skirt or two to make room. It's pretty long, too; I'll probably hem it a touch, so heads-up to any tall pluses.</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/sejour-scoop-neck-tee-plus/3206092?origin=category&amp;resultback=5840">Sejour knit top</a> - I got it in a dark pink, which isn't online; just a nice basic knit top on clearance, and with a nice longer length which I appreciate</p> <p>As I was leaving I took a gander at the shoes - I was tired and the dept was busy so I didn't try anything on, but I am considering:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/born-liddy-flat/3167347?origin=category">Born flat</a> - probably in the cream/tan as I need a neutral flat</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/report-bernsen-ankle-boot/3166988?origin=category&amp;resultback=864">Report ankle boots</a> - I need new black short boots but these may be too casual</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/miz-mooz-felicity-pump/3167516?origin=category">Miz Mooz Felicity pumps</a> - I should upgrade my basic black pumps so these are tempting</p> <p>Thoughts? Anyone tried any of the shoes? </p>
