It's a little too small in the bust and shoulders and I can't size up. Beautifully made, lovely fabric, otherwise flattering fit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas--ordered-more-than-i-thought-i-would#post-2138788 Sat, 15 Aug 2020 19:39:04 +0000 Angie 2138788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>THANK YOU, for taking the time to do these reviews,<b> featherwich</b>. You are having a wonderful sale! Nice to see some top picks in the assortment. I'll make your winners top picks too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas--ordered-more-than-i-thought-i-would#post-2138617 Sat, 15 Aug 2020 02:50:31 +0000 featherwitch 2138617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm behind on the deliveries!</p> <p><b>Tumi Ruma Crossbody Bag- Red<br /></b><b></b>Cute, small, and fun color. I have a couple of Tumi bags of the same fabric and like them, so this will be another nice addition. Keep.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Kate Spade Large Florence Leather Should Bag- Green</b><br />High quality item, unusual handbag color, and I don't have a ton of this in my wardrobe. Big enough to hold the essentials and then some. Keep.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>J Crew Leopard Print Ringer T-Shirt</b><br />Feels cheap. Return.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>The North Face Fleece Knit Stitch Fleece Hoodie<br /></b>Another interesting fabric. It's fleece, outside has stitching in small squares so that it doesn't quite look like normal fleece. Keep. Like the button type collar. No pockets.</p> <p><b>The North Face Westborough Insulated Quilted Jacket</b><br />Lightweight, and nice black and gold detail on the jacket. It's shorter on me than the model. &nbsp;Likely to keep.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Pendleton Chico Water Resistant Hooded Fleece Jacket<br /></b>Mm, not my thing. I thought the fleece fabric would be a little thinner, and the hood and sides of the jacket are a heavy canvas type material. Return.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Eileen Fisher Dress<br /></b>Item cancelled by Nordstrom. Oh well. I wasn't too attached and likely won't look for it.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Pendleton Harding Accent Pillow</b><br />LOVE. It looks great in my office.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Wit and Wisdom High Waist Ankle Straight Leg Jeans<br /></b><b></b>These fit well and look good, sold. Straight/apple body type.&nbsp;<b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas--ordered-more-than-i-thought-i-would#post-2138529 Fri, 14 Aug 2020 18:20:13 +0000 rachylou 2138529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice!

I'm thinking it would be a good light neutral for me, if it doesn't made me look nude... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas--ordered-more-than-i-thought-i-would#post-2138114 Wed, 12 Aug 2020 19:57:58 +0000 Sal 2138114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I suspect outerwear will do well this year as people socialise walking with friends etc rather than dining or shopping etc. A great coat or jacket can make the loungewear feel great.</p> <p>I hope these work out Featherwitch - love that red trench! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas--ordered-more-than-i-thought-i-would#post-2138095 Wed, 12 Aug 2020 17:48:49 +0000 Angie 2138095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY! Thanks for the reviews, and glad some Zella stuff worked out. The high waist Zella leggings are the only ones I will wear to workout in. THE BEST, and wear like iron.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>featherwitch</b>, waving at you from Seattle only one state up! It's a pleasure, and thanks for being positive.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas--ordered-more-than-i-thought-i-would#post-2138074 Wed, 12 Aug 2020 14:31:14 +0000 featherwitch 2138074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie,</b> I'm in Portland. Thanks for your applause and advice on this site, I view a lot more than I post!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas--ordered-more-than-i-thought-i-would#post-2138073 Wed, 12 Aug 2020 14:28:14 +0000 featherwitch 2138073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some of my items arrived yesterday. This shipment was mostly activewear.&nbsp;</p> <p>Zella Restore Soft Pocket Jogger Pants: didn't love these- not very flattering and hit me in the wrong places. Fabric is high quality.&nbsp;</p> <p>Zella Seamless Dip Dye Long Sleeve tee: odd proportions: neck feels very stretched out, tight around the bust and shoulders, and the sleeves are 6 inches too long, even with the thumb holes.</p> <p>Zella Amazing Crewneck Sweatshirt: long and oversized; big enough to comfortably cover my long torso. Pockets! The inside is not your average sweatshirt: it's sort of a fleecy/soft/smooth texture. It's indeed amazing.&nbsp;</p> <p>Zella High Waist Studio 7/8 Pocket Leggings: such a nice shade of aubergine! Fabric has a nice feel, flattering (don't see all lumps and bumps), and they stay up. Pockets are nice to have, slightly awkward placing along the side. But leggings with pockets are better than leggings without!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas--ordered-more-than-i-thought-i-would#post-2137908 Tue, 11 Aug 2020 18:05:38 +0000 KikiG 2137908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did too.&nbsp; I wanted to try Hunter rain boots, but accidentally double ordered them. (I did try to modify the order before it shipped but the associate said that due to problems on their end this couldn't be done; I feel bad because this means someone else will have to wait on my popular size and I think stock is pretty low.)&nbsp; I also wanted UGGS to be cozy at home, and a Patagonia quarter zip to be cozy on outdoor walks.&nbsp; You know, my new life of staying home and walking outside instead of at the gym.&nbsp; Other than that, it was undies restocking and re-order on a sweater that I liked, but got pills, but in the interim had gotten inexpensive enough to not mind so much it would only be a single season item.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas--ordered-more-than-i-thought-i-would#post-2137875 Tue, 11 Aug 2020 16:48:11 +0000 Angie 2137875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the way you thoughtfully put this together, <b>featherwich</b>.&nbsp;</p> <p>*APPLAUSE*&nbsp;</p> <p>Nice to see some top picks in the mix too :)</p> <p>Proud of you! Are you in Seattle? I wear and need a lot of outerwear, and need warm outerwear too. I am always outside and on foot - live by the water. Walk everywhere. Run cold....</p> <p>High fiving you on: handbags, wearing sneakers ALL the time, Eccos!, and Zella as a fave.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hope your great stash works out.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas--ordered-more-than-i-thought-i-would#post-2137778 Tue, 11 Aug 2020 03:25:54 +0000 unfrumped 2137778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those all look very well- planned and stylish, too. I hope they fit and work out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas--ordered-more-than-i-thought-i-would#post-2137776 Tue, 11 Aug 2020 03:21:48 +0000 featherwitch 2137776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I checked my wardrobe purchases since the beginning of the year, and realized I've only updated some golf clothing and other gear since January. I have some budget to play with given I haven't spent much all year. It's time to feel "fab" again, even if it's not the same as other years.&nbsp;</p> <p>Taking inventory: closet and lifestyle<br />I've been working at home since early March, and it's decidedly more casual than the office. I don't wear shoes anymore! &nbsp;My outings are daily dog walks, a weekly grocery store trip, and the golf course. I went through my closets, reviewed and edited and decided I wanted to look for:&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Fall/Winter Coats</b><br />I live in the rainy Pacific NW, and I run hot, so I don't need heavy outerwear. Last year I was looking for a trench coat and didn't find one, so I am trying again. I'm ordered the red Pendleton trench coat, another Pendleton plaid option, and a white lightweight less-than-puffer from The North Face. I'm all set on wool and have been very happy with the Pendleton purchases I've made in the past.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Handbags<br /></b>A few of my bags wore out this year, so I'm looking for one that fits two phones, a wallet, and my keys. Bonus points if it fits my Bluetooth headset too. The Kate Spade and Tumi crossbody made it into my order.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Sneakers&nbsp;<br /></b>It's all I'm wearing. I'm all set for ones that look like the Ecco (which oddly aren't on sale this year!). I'm trying a couple of Nike styles. My running shoes are wearing out, I'm duplicating with another pair of Nike Air Zoom Pegasus.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Activewear<br /></b>Necessary for the daily dog walks and lounging. Zella is one of my favorites.</p> <p><b>Work from Home Casual Wear</b><br />Items that are comfortable, but appear polished and work well on video meetings (no wild patterns!). &nbsp;1. State v-neck, and a pair of the Nic + Zoe Wonderstretch. I have a few more pairs of these in my closet and enjoy them. I always have room for another pair of jeans, and like the Wit and Wisdom fit. The Eileen Fisher dress looks terrible in the Nordstrom photos, but I saw it on another blogger and decided to give it a try.&nbsp;<br /><b></b><br /><b>Home Items<br /></b>Because I'm here all the time, for the first time I've added some home decor items to my list. My kitchen is all set. Potential shower curtain for the guest bathroom, Pendleton quilt and pillow.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>The Tactical Operation</b><br />I appreciated the long, nearly full preview and wishlist system on the Nordstrom website. I collected a bunch of items, and spent time removing, editing, and looking at different colors. The website seems to be cooperating this year, and no items have been cancelled yet. I even ordered something that said "out of stock" and it shipped... that was mysterious but a pleasant surprise.</p> <p>The items are supposed to start arriving tomorrow, which seems reasonably quick compared to prior years. I'm sure there will be returns on about half of the items. I'll be sure to return to the store so that someone else can pick them up during the sale.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'll update this thread with the keepers and the rejects!&nbsp; </p>
