Your style has just evolved to a place where Nordstorms NAS just isn't always going to appeal to your unique point of view. No big deal - lately you've been finding great clothes and accessories other places besides Nordstroms - and its working for you! Also, I have to have a lot of mental, emotional and physical energy to be able to go to NAS and fight the crowds and try to figure out what would work in my wardrobe, etc. - you're just not at that place this year to do that Maya! So, don't worry about it - there will always be sales! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-just-a-nas-failure#post-386407 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 19:17:38 +0000 Lisa 386407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April-I live in a location that is far TOO easy to shop multiple Nordstrom's (and other malls). LOL! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-just-a-nas-failure#post-386145 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 10:01:14 +0000 April 386145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Take heart, Maya -- I haven't made any NAS purchases either. I have seen a number of things I'd like to try, but haven't taken the plunge since nothing I'm coveting actually fills a wardrobe gap. As long as I still have gaps, I can't rationalize the pure frivolity of the Halogen Tiered Leather Jacket. </p> <p>BTW, I don't know if this was announced on the "queens and captains" thread, but I proclaim Lisa the Queen of Garden State shopping! Hands down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-just-a-nas-failure#post-386130 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 07:13:46 +0000 rae 386130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nowhere is it written that you have to find items at NAS. Your heart isn't in it, and as Anna said, the sale isn't really speaking to you, either. This just means that your best finds lay ahead - something to look forward to! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-just-a-nas-failure#post-386068 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 03:26:43 +0000 Beth 386068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, you've had a lot of other things sapping your mental energy. Lisa also has a point in that this might have just been an off year for you NAS-wise.</p> <p>While I found a few things, this year didn't hold a candle to last year. So count me in as a provisional member of your team:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-just-a-nas-failure#post-386057 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 03:10:13 +0000 Lisa 386057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya- I find the best selection is at the GSP store. I'm sure there's a bus you can take to get there, it is a HUGE Nordstorm's. I believe it is the East coast flagship. Although in general I find most of the styles right now are very boho, long flowy pieces and lots of earth tones. Last year, I did not have many keepers from NAS, this year I did much better. Perhaps this was your "off" year and next year you will have lots of goodies that catch your eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-just-a-nas-failure#post-386001 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 00:47:54 +0000 Freckles 386001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've found such fabulous things other places Maya that it would have to be really spectacular to be a star to you.</p> <p>Just think of all those Jazz outfits, both past and upcoming... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-just-a-nas-failure#post-385997 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 00:46:07 +0000 Maya 385997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't like my Nordies at all! It's a total letdown, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-just-a-nas-failure#post-385995 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 00:44:50 +0000 annagybe 385995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, I don't think so. Given what you've said about your evolving style I remember very little at the sale that fits your look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-just-a-nas-failure#post-385993 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 00:44:34 +0000 Angie 385993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do think you're off shopping - you've been through a lot these past few weeks. AND, unless you went to a top store, the best assortment for your style was online. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-just-a-nas-failure#post-385990 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 00:33:32 +0000 Maya 385990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I headed over to Nordies today because I'm at home and this is really my only chance (there isn't one anywhere in the city...unbelievable). I must have circled the store at least 3 times and found NOTHING. I am sure part of it is just that I'm not in much of a shopping mood, but even so I just didn't see anything that caught my eye. Except an $895 Donna Karan dress. Oh, I loved the Hinge leather jacket as well--but it's leather, and still expensive. </p> <p>I ended up coming away with two headbands as a pick-me-up, but that's it. </p> <p>Part of the problem I think I had was that so much of it still seemed like spring/summer to me. Sleeveless blousy tops and such. The knitwear was kind of a letdown too. I was looking mostly for boots and long sleeved dresses, but found neither. </p> <p>Tell me I'm not alone! </p>
