The tube skirt and the boots are particularly hot. I've got some boots like that. Maybe I should add a tube skirt to my list...

I have the skirt coming, so I am so glad to hear it is comfy! abc on "My First NAS: Report (long)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-nas-report-long#post-979478 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 20:25:30 +0000 abc 979478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow, judging by Angie's reply I guess I did better than I thought I did! Yippee! Mnsara, I did get the promo price. I don't know if this is a NAS sale or if it is just a timing coincidence but either way I did get the lower price. Yay! Elle, I know! I wanted to sit this one out but the shopping diva inside of me won out this year. Suz, thanks for the feedback. Sometimes I feel self-conscious because I tend to be long winded, it's nice to know some people find the info helpful.

You've selected three items from my top picks list :) Enjoy! xo Suz on "My First NAS: Report (long)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-nas-report-long#post-979463 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 20:09:43 +0000 Suz 979463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Fabulous choices and what a super report. I always love these detailed descriptions about how an item fits and how well it seems to break in. It's really helpful to anyone who might be considering it. Thank you for taking the time to do this!  ElleH on "My First NAS: Report (long)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-nas-report-long#post-979453 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 20:02:02 +0000 ElleH 979453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Cool stuff.

I hope you asked about a price adjustment, if you didn't get the 2-for price on your first purchase.  And I agree the skirts would make great travel wear - so comfy! abc on "My First NAS: Report (long)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-nas-report-long#post-979412 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 19:05:44 +0000 abc 979412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I learned about NAS on YLF, so thanks for that! My business trip got extended by a day and I wasn't prepared like normal, so what's a girl to do...go to Nordies for NAS, of course! For some reason I was under the impression that I made my selections now but wasn't able to take the merchandise home until the 19th but this didn't happen - what I bought I walked away with immediately (doing a happy dance down the aisle, haha).  Did I make that up or do some stores do that?  I was in Austin TX, FWIW. I didn't really know what to expect - for some reason I thought maybe the entire store would be shut down except for cardholders with appointments but it made a lot more sense once I got there and saw the curtained-off areas scattered around the store.  Silly me, they wouldn't stop other customers from buying regular merch during this period.  That was kind of stupid of me, but anyway. I didn't have an appointment, the store was in relative order and there weren't that many shoppers.  The sales people told me earlier in the day and on Weds it had been a madhouse.  I guess I picked the right time to shop (Thurs around 6pm). I have been underwhelmed by the salespeople in the Plus size department at this Nordstrom.  I have had stellar help in the Kansas City Nordstrom, by contrast.  I don't know what it is with the Austin store but the few times I have shopped here the sales people don't seem to "get" me or my style, suggesting things I would never wear (no offense to anyone, I just think their typical plus clientele might skew older and more conservative than me).  Luckily I am a pretty independent shopper. I ended up getting the following: Item 1: two pairs VC leggings to replace the one pair I have (different brand) that is damaged beyond repair.  Higher quality fabric than any of my other leggings.   <a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vince-camuto-leggings-plus-size/3197090">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vi.....ze/3197090</a> Item 2: Sejour peplum top in purple.  Super comfy and the structure is just what I need in a top.  Pretty jeweled neckline. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/sejour-embellished-ponte-knit-top-plus-size/3471439">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/se.....ze/3471439</a> Items 3 and 4: two of the VC tube skirts.  Tried the 1x but it felt big, got the XL (in case anyone is wondering about sizing on larger sizes).  I bought the heather gray stripe and ivory stripe.   **just noticed more colors added online and some on sale/clearance, might buy more as it is super comfy and versatile!** <a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vince-camuto-midi-tube-skirt-2-for-79/3275630">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vi.....79/3275630</a> Item 5:  Frye Veronica Back Zip Short Boots in Black Pinned months ago as my "drool worthy" boots, how lucky that they came up on NAS!  I found these ran 1/2 size smaller than the normal (non-zip) Veronica shorties.  I had to size up to a 9 in these whereas my others are 8.5.  I figure it is due to the zipper construction.  Like all Fryes they take a bit of breaking in but I find they are already loosening up after only a few hours wear this morning. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/frye-veronica-back-zip-short-boot/3293706">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/fr.....ot/3293706</a> I wore the black/gray stripe skirt with the purple peplum top on Friday to work with patent red flats.  The outfit felt a little dark for it being July, but I wanted to buy things that would be flexible for my part WFH / part MOTG / part corporate office capsules.  Next time I think I will wear the peplum top with a charcoal and black skirt I have, very similar to this one:  <a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/sejour-print-ponte-pencil-skirt-plus-size/3553290">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/se.....ze/3553290</a>   Thanks Angie and the YLF crew for the inspiration on the VC midi tube skirts.  I never would have picked them on my own, and I even branched out by NOT getting a solid black in the 2-for $79 promo.  The pre-YLF me would have by default chosen the black as one of my selections, but I didn't listen to that "practical" voice in my head this time. I even traveled home (2 flights) wearing this skirt and it was super comfy.  I think it may become part of my new travel uniform! I feel like a cheater, I said I was going to try to sit out NAS but I just couldn't resist these few things. Thanks for reading. abc ETA item pics but struggling on size/resolution, how do you insert good pics from nordies website?
