That's crazy, and they let you have them for that amount! &nbsp; &nbsp;*sound of mind blowing*<br />I love you low heeled booties too, and that cross body is really sharp. The name stamp is very subtle; I wouldn't worry about it at all. Enjoy your new scores!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-forced-shopping-so-far#post-1287546 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 17:57:57 +0000 Mo 1287546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! &nbsp;Until your core items are found.&nbsp;</p> <p>And what great luck! &nbsp;Good for you. At this rate, you'll have a season's wardrobe for ten dollars. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-forced-shopping-so-far#post-1287538 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 17:54:12 +0000 minimalist 1287538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, this was at Nordstrom Rack. Two different stores. The first time, I thought it might have been an isolated case of employee "inventory management." The cashier looked flustered and said they shouldn't have been put out, but since they were she had to sell them to me and I shouldn't try to return them. The second time, the SA called her manager who OK'd the sale. I wish I understood the system! </p> <p>So, if you're making July no-buy, does that mean I have to keep shopping? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-forced-shopping-so-far#post-1287534 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 17:50:10 +0000 Mo 1287534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, where do you shop that $100 items ring up as a penny??? &nbsp;WHERE??? &nbsp;<br />My June went Kaput so I'm opting for No Buy July. &nbsp;It's getting very very hot so only tanks, shorts, and the breeziest of skirts or dresses will do. &nbsp;I have those. &nbsp;Check and check. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-forced-shopping-so-far#post-1287499 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 17:17:06 +0000 minimalist 1287499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I slacked off on the shopping for a week or so, but in the past few days 1) lost a hoodie and 2) chinos AND jeans got put in the dryer. So I'm back at it. </p> <p>Oh, pre-slacking update post that got lost: another pair of Via Spiga booties. The first pair was tagged at $59 but had rung up at $0.01, so a few days later in a different NR when I saw high-heeled ankle booties not on my list, with a price tag of $110, I tried them on. Amazingly comfortable. So I stood in line for a price check, and they rang up at ...$0.01. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-forced-shopping-so-far#post-1277468 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 19:06:54 +0000 Ledonna N. 1277468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the shape of the ankle boot I would probable wear those out also.&nbsp; The bag seem like a good everyday core item. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-forced-shopping-so-far#post-1277403 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 18:07:17 +0000 AviaMariah 1277403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought a similar paid of ankle boots like that last winter. &nbsp;I almost returned them as they didn't seem that exciting but I was so glad I didn't. &nbsp;I was afraid I was going to wear them out last winter as I wore them so much. &nbsp;Hopefully yours are work horses for you also.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-forced-shopping-so-far#post-1277390 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 17:44:22 +0000 Gracie 1277390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What?! Those boots are <b>fantastic!</b> I like the mix of the materials and the lug sole... And the crossbody is already paying for itself – great finds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-forced-shopping-so-far#post-1277380 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 17:28:05 +0000 rachylou 1277380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I'd wear the boots and crossbody to death.

I like the bag too—glad it's already turning into a workhorse.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-forced-shopping-so-far#post-1275779 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 22:34:31 +0000 Peri 1275779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shorts...black, dark grey or navy. Go with everything type color cause I only want one pair.&nbsp;</p> <p>The dress could be more colorful since I have a casual black one already.</p> <p>The NAS is some time in July I think, but it is Fall stuff in advance, no good for summer wardrobe building.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-forced-shopping-so-far#post-1275776 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 22:30:28 +0000 minimalist 1275776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hurray, Peri! So comforting to know I'm not alone. What color dress and shorts are you looking for? I'm afraid most of my pieces will be black, for pure practicality. </p> <p>Thanks for the encouragement, Cheryl and Jenny. Mo ...you just described my life. ;)</p> <p>When is the NAS, which I presume stands for Nordstrom something Sale? and which purchases are best made then? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-forced-shopping-so-far#post-1275741 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 21:43:17 +0000 Peri 1275741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in, Amy...I was in forced shopping all through May but I still need several things...about 4 more "T shirt but better" type tops, a casual comfy dress that doesn't look too young for me (HEWI), and a drapey but longish pair of shorts. I want to give up but I will join the forced shopping club and keep pushing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-forced-shopping-so-far#post-1275734 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 21:35:25 +0000 cheryl 1275734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like you found a couple of great pieces.

I found them to be very versatile and I wore them so often they&nbsp;wore right out.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-forced-shopping-so-far#post-1275674 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 20:29:15 +0000 minimalist 1275674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After Mo and others opted out of June shopping, I declared June my own forced shopping month. I need pretty much everything, would like to eventually have 10 ideal central pieces.</p> <p>So far, I've found:</p> <p>- second-hand black leather crossbody bag<br /> This has already found almost-daily use. I don't love the brand stamp, but it's fairly subtle and I wear it against my body. </p> <p>- black leather ankle boots, leather-lined, zippers on outside<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/via-spiga-eartha-boot/3657792" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vi.....ot/3657792</a><br /> They're not exactly fab, but they're decent quality and fill the classic low-heeled black ankle boot category. </p>
