The one review on the Nordstrom site says it's a little more mauve than shown in the photo--good news if your coloring is cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-these-nas-items#post-1826766 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 17:07:55 +0000 Kady 1826766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the BCBG dress, it is on my want list now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-these-nas-items#post-1826491 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 05:32:26 +0000 Jenava 1826491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel like the Nordies brands tend to go on sale again after labor day. There are those hot items that sell out, especially in the higher end labels, so if you love it of course jump on it. Just something to consider. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-these-nas-items#post-1826397 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 01:27:53 +0000 Kathie 1826397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just got my lingerie bag today. Thanks for pointing it out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-these-nas-items#post-1826396 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 01:22:21 +0000 Tanya 1826396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, so glad almost everything works, Diana!&nbsp; Looking forward to the photos and hope the dress shows up again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-these-nas-items#post-1826369 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 00:53:36 +0000 Diana 1826369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My boxes came! I am tempted to keep almost everything.... the only thing I'm definitely returning is the petite tweed moto as sleeves are indeed too short (but I'm keeping the regular one.). I'll try to post pics and a review in the next couple of days. (It's too dark right now to get decent photos.)</p> <p>I never managed to grab the pink sweatshirt dress. Hoping it restocks on Friday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-these-nas-items#post-1824781 Sun, 16 Jul 2017 01:40:30 +0000 Beth 1824781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good choices, Diana. I especially like the tweed jacket. Like other posters you've inspired me to buy a new lingerie bag, and I threw in a new sports bra, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-these-nas-items#post-1824770 Sun, 16 Jul 2017 00:40:17 +0000 Diana 1824770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I don't actually *need* new jeans.... i just like my existing Dres a lot and thought it might be worth duplicating. </p> <p>Anyway, I did end up ordering these Blank NYC black kick flares to try out as well, because they are black, mid rise, 98/2 content, and inexpensive. Also they're not ripped - is it just me or are the majority of jeans in this years sale ripped?<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/blanknyc-canvas-cropped-kick-flare-jeans/4533180?origin=category-personalizedsort&#038;fashioncolor=BLACK" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/bl.....olor=BLACK</a></p> <p>(Sorry, on iPad so can't add as a find right now.)</p> <p>Also figured I could also use another sports bra, and my favorite one is in the sale so why not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-these-nas-items#post-1824762 Sun, 16 Jul 2017 00:13:29 +0000 Joyce B 1824762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice items, I love the jacket. Like everyone else, I am ordering the mesh bag. They should give you commission for bringing so many customers </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-these-nas-items#post-1824743 Sat, 15 Jul 2017 23:45:04 +0000 Thistle 1824743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got triple points because I struggled with checkout on day one of the pre-sale. Not sure when you put your order in, but you might have gotten it as well.</p> <p>Lovely choices, as always, and well thought, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-these-nas-items#post-1824733 Sat, 15 Jul 2017 23:16:46 +0000 Brooklyn 1824733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the tweed jacket for you and the floral scarf. It's a shame about the butterfly scarf. Pattern is gorgeous but I agree the square shape makes it less useful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-these-nas-items#post-1824619 Sat, 15 Jul 2017 16:40:55 +0000 Anonymous 1824619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, what you do like and order is fabulous. &nbsp;This is the first time I am seeing the sweatshirt dress. &nbsp;I hope you manage to order it and see it in person. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-these-nas-items#post-1824557 Sat, 15 Jul 2017 13:39:21 +0000 Angie 1824557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, a fun start to the NAS.&nbsp;</p> <p>I wonder whether you should try another pair of jeans? I wasn't charmed with the fit of those in the blue. Very tight on the calf. Try these:</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-these-nas-items#post-1823986 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 12:48:48 +0000 Lisa 1823986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A lingerie bag, great idea! &nbsp;I always pick up the fabric wash but never thought about getting a new bag for my delicates. &nbsp;Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-these-nas-items#post-1823889 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 05:12:37 +0000 Diana 1823889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I had the same worry about the Dres being too long, and the hem makes them un-shortenable. . If they really are 30" as the description says that would be around ankle length on me which would be ok. I guess we shall see.</p> <p>Tanya, I think the tweed jacket looks short, which is why I'm hoping it'll work for me!</p> <p>Sharan, I bought both regular and petite in the jacket. I suspect if I keep one it'll be the regular, but petites tend to sell out at NAS so I figured better safe than sorry.<br /> I saw the frame jeans, but the rise is indeed too high for me, plus I don't want a pair with rips.<br /> I do have a couple of lace bralettes like that one which I wear under sheerish tops or tops with low armholes, but I'm not sure I'd be comfortable showing the whole back.... plus I couldn't wear it to work which would limit its wears. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-these-nas-items#post-1823886 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 04:48:19 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1823886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your choices, Diana, especially the scarf and jacket, which I can just picture on you. I hope the jacket works. I'm guessing you went with the regular? <br />Too bad the Dre jeans aren't offered in black denim. Did you consider the Frame pair? They are 100% cotton. Probably too high-waisted, though; I think I recall you like mid or lower rise, right? </p> <p>Oh, also, you could wear a pretty bra like this one in Finds with that BP jumpsuit. It seems made to be seen and comes in different colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-these-nas-items#post-1823827 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 02:23:13 +0000 Tanya 1823827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful choices, Diana. I was also tempted by the navy tweed jacket but am pretty certain it would have been too short on my long torso. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-these-nas-items#post-1823812 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 01:43:06 +0000 Suz 1823812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, thanks for adding those sockettes -- I need them, too!&nbsp;</p> <p>Love your choices and am tempted by a few. I might also order the Dres. I worry they are going to be too long and I don't really want to wear them cuffed all the time. I love the fit of the Dre, though, so I am tempted.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-these-nas-items#post-1823777 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 00:59:47 +0000 Diana 1823777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>By the way, I also tossed in a pack of these, which are my favorite socks for oxfords and sneakers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-these-nas-items#post-1823756 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 00:30:25 +0000 DonnaF 1823756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, when I ordered *your* lingerie bag just now, unlike my order earlier today, it didn't show this as a Triple Points order. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-these-nas-items#post-1823755 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 00:27:29 +0000 Diana 1823755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also, quite annoyingly, the pink dress keeps popping back but seems to be a phantom item - I can add it to my cart but can't check out with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-these-nas-items#post-1823752 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 00:23:03 +0000 Diana 1823752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Donna. I did it via phone as you suggested. Still no indication on my account but I went ahead and just placed the order. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-these-nas-items#post-1823751 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 00:22:00 +0000 kkards 1823751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love my dre's -- I was hoping that this year they would have black. the scarf is great, may need to order that one. And the dress looks fab-- and so you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-these-nas-items#post-1823747 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 00:08:54 +0000 DonnaF 1823747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana;<br />I had to call the phone number on my card and then follow the prompts.&nbsp; I couldn't find it while checking out either so I paused at the final step.&nbsp; After the call, it showed up.</p> <p>Off to order *your* lingerie bag!&nbsp; Thanks for the the suggestion.&nbsp; It will *go* with the lingerie wash I buy every year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-these-nas-items#post-1823733 Thu, 13 Jul 2017 23:39:54 +0000 Diana 1823733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does anyone know how to make it my triple points day? I thought you just chose it when you check out but I don't see it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-these-nas-items#post-1823721 Thu, 13 Jul 2017 23:11:05 +0000 JAileen 1823721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered the scarf you're passing on, in navy. I'm going to order another lingerie bag. Thanks for the reminder. I have a small one, and my mother gave me a couple last year that fell apart in the wash.</p> <p>Re running out: that's why I ordered as fast as I could. It turned out to be glacial because of their system problems. On the good side, I've memorized my new replacement credit card! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-these-nas-items#post-1823709 Thu, 13 Jul 2017 22:50:58 +0000 Keix 1823709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't seen the BP jumpsuit that you're talking about, but I impulse ordered this Leith jumpsuit in the wee hours of the morning, which looks like it can be worn with a bra if it were black with wide-set straps... No idea how it will look on me but for some reason I'm intrigued by it.</p> <p>I tried on a pair of Dre's a while ago (I think the burgundy from last year's NAS?) and they felt very stiff to me. The release hem trend seems to be going strong though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-these-nas-items#post-1823689 Thu, 13 Jul 2017 22:14:56 +0000 Style Fan 1823689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Am I the only YLF member that does not have a pair of The Dre?&nbsp; I like the ones you have picked out but I like that style of jean a lot.&nbsp; I also like the olive ones that Angie has picked out.&nbsp; Love your scarf.&nbsp; I agree that large rectangles get more wear that squares.&nbsp; That lingerie bag is great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-these-nas-items#post-1823684 Thu, 13 Jul 2017 22:00:47 +0000 Diana 1823684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Things I liked but am passing on: </p> <p>Hinge butterfly scarf: I LOVE this print.&nbsp; But it's square, which means it'll get less wear than the rectangular scarf above.&nbsp; I am still torn on this one though.</p> <p>BP jumpsuit:&nbsp; the culotte shape really appealed to me.&nbsp; But there's no way to wear a bra (even a strapless one) with it, because the back is totally open.</p> <p>BCBG dress:&nbsp; Love this shape of dress and the color is pretty.&nbsp; I would order it if it were not blue.&nbsp; I already have so many blue dresses, including one that is a very similar shape.</p> <p>Halogen peplum top:&nbsp; I want the blue but only the white is available in petite!&nbsp; Gah!&nbsp; I'm almost certain the waist won't hit in the right place on me if I get a regular. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-these-nas-items#post-1823683 Thu, 13 Jul 2017 21:57:51 +0000 Diana 1823683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Halogen scarf: I had to retire my big workhorse black and white floral scarf last year as it was literally falling apart.&nbsp; This would be a good replacement.&nbsp; (Although my old one was a wool blend, so this would be less warm.)</p> <p>Halogen tweed jacket: I've wanted a tweed moto for a while.&nbsp; I am undecided about whether to order regular or petite.&nbsp; Petite would probably be a better length in the body but there's a good chance the sleeves would be too short, and that is a HUGE dealbreaker for me.</p> <p>Socialite sweatshirt dress:&nbsp; I've also been looking for a sweatshirt dress for a while. ETA: This is already out of stock in my size?!?!&nbsp; </p> <p>Rag and Bone Dres:&nbsp; I have been thinking about getting another pair of Dres for a while.&nbsp; I have some in a very light blue.&nbsp; Do we think the released hem trend is still going strong or has it had its moment?&nbsp; I am not considering the dark olive ones because it is a fabrication I don't like (I only like them in the 98%cotton fabrication.) I'm on the fence about these.&nbsp; What I really want is black, in the cotton fabrication, which I haven't seen anywhere.</p> <p>And the lingerie bag is a repeat buy.&nbsp; I bought one last year and it is fantastic.&nbsp; It's gigantic, which means it fits an entire handknit sweater (or like 10 bras.)</p> <p>Any thoughts/suggestions?&nbsp; Will add a reply with the things I thought about but ultimately decided to pass on. </p>
