I got my hair cut yesterday so it's still mostly in "styled by a professional" mode. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-second-perusing-nas/page/2#post-1517562 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 01:09:16 +0000 carter 1517562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both pieces! Especially loving the plaid shirt. Have to say that your hair is stealing the show though. Looks terrific. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-second-perusing-nas#post-1517561 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 01:08:21 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1517561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colors of the plaid shirt look good for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-second-perusing-nas#post-1517559 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 00:55:11 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1517559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Auburn, I like your picks. That DvF blouse is gorgeous.</p> <p>I took a few pictures of the jacket and plaid shirt, in case Sterling or anyone else would find it helpful. It's really cloudy and dark here right now, so the colors aren't great, but at least you can get an idea of the shape on a non-model person. I'm wearing the XL in both cases. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-second-perusing-nas#post-1517513 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 23:14:36 +0000 Auburn 1517513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I think I'm done. &nbsp;Did some early damage online (with one big splurge item--Chloe purse, but won't be able to review that until it arrives). &nbsp;I was able to do a major online scour this morning so that when I went to my downtown SF store for a prolonged (!!) lunch break, I pretty much knew what I was looking for. &nbsp;My husband came and met me for part of it and he scored as well. &nbsp;Have attached all my purchases below with mini reviews.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-second-perusing-nas#post-1517504 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 22:43:07 +0000 carter 1517504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Should confess I ordered a couple more things...personal triple points day...it's really not my fault;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-second-perusing-nas#post-1517502 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 22:36:23 +0000 carter 1517502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, your reviews are great! I should have given you my list to examine;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-second-perusing-nas#post-1517501 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 22:27:44 +0000 Anonymous 1517501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura -- thanks so much for the information. &nbsp;I can't shop until next Friday, but I am already starting to develop a list of things I want to try. &nbsp;I especially like that plaid shirt and drape front jacket. &nbsp;Both would fit in well with my existing wardrobe. &nbsp;I'll see if they are still available next weekend. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-second-perusing-nas#post-1517499 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 22:20:12 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1517499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought I was done but checking my wishlist I saw a few more items I witnessed IRL and people might appreciate a review:<br />1 - peasant blouse - really nice but very thin fabric; I wouldn't wear without a camisole underneath<br />2 - same for most of the colors of this Pleione print top<br />3 - more on the beige side of pink, almost tan</p> <p>4 - great shape, very useful, lots of colors to choose from. But the fabric has a distinctive twill weave which I'm not sure how I feel about. Some people might think it looks cheap. I'm pondering the purple. </p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-second-perusing-nas#post-1517490 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 22:11:17 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1517490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, back to shoes. Sam Edelman had some winners:<br />Find 1 - cute flats, scalloped detail is too twee for me but they looked nice <br />2 - version of the Petty with fringe, I bet this one's going to be a big seller</p> <p>3 - BP cuteness; cheap and cheerful</p> <p>Booties booties booties<br />4 - wish these Lucky Brand ankle boots didn't have the intentionally darkened toe, otherwise they would be mine all mine<br />5 - DV, vaguely western<br />6 - FS, basic with some non-basic color options </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-second-perusing-nas#post-1517485 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 21:57:56 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1517485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, plus sizes report:<br />Sejour dress pants, Zella leggings, some basic long-sleeved tees, all very nice<br />Some really nice Nic &amp; Zoe sweaters and cardigans<br />Lots of Kut jeans in various cuts (heh) and some NYDJ<br />Vince Camuto officewear<br />City Chic - dresses and jackets<br />good deals on Eileen Fisher <br />Gorgeous leather jackets including this one with an interesting neck detail<br />Faux leather culottes anyone?<br />Super-snuggly cardigan/cape thing<br />Nightshirts were cute but super-super thin, I couldn't see them lasting through many washes</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-second-perusing-nas#post-1517477 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 21:44:24 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1517477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My post-appointment report:<br />The saleslady I worked with was based in Encore, so I started there. I was quite impressed with the selection in Plus this year. Last year I remember it being pretty dire and boring. I'll write another post on what I saw and would recommend. </p> <p>I also looked in Point of View, since I'm a 'tweener. More choice there of course, and lots of Nordstrom-brand options with multiple colors. I ended up not buying a whole ton - here's what I actually purchased:<br />Find 1 - boucle and knit sleeve jacket - woven body, jersey sleeves. Very comfy and looked cute open and closed.<br />2 - Sandra Ingrish plaid shirt - all the colors of this were quite nice. Didn't run quite as small as SI tends to do, but definitely not oversized.<br />3 - Kut Chrissy Flare - I ended up bringing home both the 14w and 16w as I was almost exactly between both (I'm thinking I'll wait until closer to fall and see where my body's at). Also available in misses (find 4) - didn't see anything in double digits in the store, I think these were selling like hotcakes. Flared but not crazy exaggerated; I think most people could pull these off with some heeled boots. Inseam is long as indicated. </p> <p>I took a quick turn around shoes but it was crazy busy. Lots of nice boots and some heels and wedges; less choice in nicer flats. Some cute casual flats - Toms and the like - and a few athletic shoes. I was disappointed there wasn't a Born flat as there usually is each NAS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-second-perusing-nas#post-1517437 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 20:43:28 +0000 viva 1517437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, yes, love those Prada boots .... but yikes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-second-perusing-nas#post-1517422 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 19:59:53 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1517422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was kind of looking for black chelsea boots too, Viva, because I like this linked post. Nothing I liked in the NAS. Nordstrom has ones I like. Just not in the sale. And ruinously expensive.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.happilygrey.com/personal-style/the-black-and-blue/">http://www.happilygrey.com/per.....-and-blue/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-second-perusing-nas#post-1517405 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 19:23:06 +0000 viva 1517405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on the hunt, sort of, for black Chelsea boots and a midi dress. Kind of love that Haute Hippie. Carter, let me know how those booties work for you - both pairs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-second-perusing-nas#post-1517387 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 18:19:09 +0000 rachylou 1517387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh. I like the brown leather jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-second-perusing-nas#post-1517383 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 18:11:59 +0000 Kathleen 1517383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the keyhole dress on the model. I'm not sure how I would like it on me.</p> <p>After browsing this morning, these are the 3 things I think I'm most likely to order, plus a pair of pearl earrings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-second-perusing-nas#post-1517370 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 17:51:05 +0000 rachylou 1517370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That keyhole dress with the 70s vibe - that's a winner, n'est-ce pas? I hearted it too and see Angie had it in the dressing room. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-second-perusing-nas#post-1517363 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 17:41:05 +0000 deb 1517363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was up at 1 am also. Mostly because I had to work this morning. Darn work, always gets in the way of fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-second-perusing-nas#post-1517355 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 17:19:57 +0000 Susie 1517355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like to go through fairly quickly and pop things in my bag that catch my eye. I was&nbsp;disappointed in the shoes/boots selection. There is one cobalt pair that I might consider but nothing else that felt special. I noticed that there are a lot of drape front cardigans so that silhouette must still be popular. </p> <p>I don't really need a coat but some type of&nbsp;coat or jacket in a color other than black is something I've been looking for and I did add a few to my bag to try. </p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-second-perusing-nas#post-1517352 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 17:14:54 +0000 carter 1517352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found lots of stuff to try. So much for my disciplined approach this year;-).<br />Some I have my SA grabbing for me to try next Tuesday, and some I had to order. We'll see. If it's anything like my efforts last year, 75% of it will go back.</p> <p>The watch is the one my daughter has been coveting. Christmas in July present for her. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-second-perusing-nas#post-1517294 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 15:57:31 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1517294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth, I agree - I'm definitely seeing more stuff now than at 1a. I wouldn't be surprised if they keep on adding things, particularly throughout today since it's the first day of regular early access, and then also throughout the early access period and into the regular sale. </p> <p>Quick reassessment, and I'm not really looking at the high-end designer brands, handbags, cosmetics, or jewelry, since those aren't really my thing: lots of NYDJ, Jag, and Kut jeans, lots of ankle boots, lots of Nordstrom-branded flowy tops (Caslon, Halogen), some workwear and suits, some cashmere and wool. Some good deals on Eileen Fisher. Also the usual bargains on Zella workout gear, mostly bottoms, and underwear incl. Hanky Panky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-second-perusing-nas#post-1517276 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 15:28:54 +0000 Beth 1517276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, I think they must still be adding things. I just saw several items that I could have sworn weren't there 4 hours ago! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-second-perusing-nas#post-1517275 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 15:18:27 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1517275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice picks, Linda and Lila. A lot of those items look new to me so I think they must have been adding items as the night went on, which isn't surprising. Joy, I saw some really nice jeans, but was not looking for high waist in particular at the time. Sveta, I agree, I was a little disappointed with the shoes/boots, at least what I saw last night (I guess I should say this morning). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-second-perusing-nas#post-1517267 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 14:40:06 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1517267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of sleeved dresses (yay!) - I'm looking at these especially.&nbsp; I don't think the Haute Hippie will work on me with the dropped waist and non-petite sizing, but I love the pattern.&nbsp; There is a shorter sheath in the same pattern, but it looks a bit too body-con for me.&nbsp; Oh well.&nbsp;&nbsp; I may order the other 3 dresses and hope that they don't all work.&nbsp; Ha.&nbsp; Also getting the blanket coat for fall football/spring baseball games (maybe for the cold office as well).&nbsp; Shockingly, I didn't see any shoes or boots that I want.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-second-perusing-nas#post-1517249 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 13:31:05 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1517249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So far there's nothing I feel I absolutely must have. Looking through the contemporary section, a number of things caught my eye, and I put them in finds. I probably like the boring things best: mushroom boots and (forbidden) blue fringe cardigan.</p> <p>Well, some of the stuff I thought I collected didn't make it to finds yet, so I will add it in after a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-second-perusing-nas#post-1517244 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 13:20:45 +0000 Beth 1517244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll wait for Angie's picks too. </p> <p>I was planning on picking up some basics and hoping for one or two really exciting pieces, but at first glance&nbsp;I wasn't especially wowed by anything. That said, seeing the sale through Angie's eyes makes all the difference and in past years Nordies added more to the sale as the days went on. There's still shopping to be done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-second-perusing-nas#post-1517234 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 13:04:41 +0000 Anonymous 1517234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've not yet looked this morning but will wait for Angie's picks. My wish list includes a not black dress with elbow to long sleeves, killer high waist skinny jeans, and some great brown, red or grey booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-second-perusing-nas#post-1517205 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 12:24:56 +0000 Sveta 1517205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Got up at 5:30 today... some nice stuff but I think I will wait for Angie's ruling this time.<br />I wish there were better footwear options though...was not impressed much with those. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-second-perusing-nas#post-1517193 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 12:10:38 +0000 marianna 1517193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just took a quick peek... saw a few interesting items. I plan to take a further look after work this evening. Fun! </p>
