And then I bought willy-nilly. I also returned quite a bit, though. I didn't see anything in this year's catalog that I need. We'll see what Angie recommends, and then maybe I'll find something that I can't live without. </p> <p>BTW, grey is awesome. I like charcoal because it contrasts so well with my hair. I haven't been wanting to wear it this summer, but I think I'll return to my favorite when it cools off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2017-online-catalog/page/3#post-1819589 Thu, 29 Jun 2017 11:57:52 +0000 gryffin 1819589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz - that's what got me started on gray.&nbsp; I realized it was just "grayscale" black lite from white to black.&nbsp; So Im good with that!!&nbsp; I'm probably going to sit out NAS although I'll check the recommendations.&nbsp; I bought the hoodie and cashmere dickey to go with my VB kennedy jacket.&nbsp; Also the EF game 2 sneakers which I've been watching.&nbsp; Deciding if my neuroma is totally happy since I've wanted a pr of dressy high top leather fashion sneakers.&nbsp; So bye-bye budget but those are things I really wanted.&nbsp; Now of course you all will find fabulous things and I will be benched!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2017-online-catalog/page/2#post-1819586 Thu, 29 Jun 2017 11:46:23 +0000 Style Fan 1819586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah the Halogen black kick flares will be back!&nbsp; Maybe I will get a pair.&nbsp; I like the Rails olive green shirt with embroidery.&nbsp; I may look for a pair of jeans.&nbsp; But I will wait for Angie`s recommendations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2017-online-catalog/page/2#post-1819540 Thu, 29 Jun 2017 03:44:44 +0000 Janet 1819540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not much really exciting me in the catalog, which is fine by me because I'll be mostly unavailable during the sale. I'm not in a huge buying mode these days anyway, and I'm pretty content with my wardrobe. However, a few items I wouldn't mind checking out in person:</p> <p>Mackage black jacket p. 16<br /> Ted Baker bags p. 31<br /> Treasure &amp; Bond black booties p. 36 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2017-online-catalog/page/2#post-1819244 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 07:48:20 +0000 Barbara Diane 1819244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I intend to be much more conscious this year. Last year was a wild ride. This year I'm hoping to find a pair or two of shoes and a few other items.

Maybe this will be my year to get Aquatalia booties. I try them on each year but haven't bought any. Waterproof would be so useful. I wore my Blondo waterproof moto boots <i>so</i> much last winter! (They were not NAS, and are from a couple of years ago.)<br />Rebecca Minkoff front-pocket tote--in olive?!! Now there's something I had no idea I needed.<br />How cute are those Halogen step-hem pants in black with white pinstripe? <br />They brought back the YLF-ubiquitous Halogen kick flares, too, just in case anyone missed them.<br />I will need to try on the Paul Green loafers. I have a love-hate relationship with loafers--love them on others, but don't wear them. Perhaps I haven't found the right pair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2017-online-catalog/page/2#post-1818990 Tue, 27 Jun 2017 05:12:46 +0000 DonnaF 1818990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got the paper catalog today; interesting how much more appealed to me -- not that I *need* a leather jacket or pleather skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2017-online-catalog/page/2#post-1818699 Mon, 26 Jun 2017 03:20:27 +0000 Emily K 1818699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>shevia</b> -- yay!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2017-online-catalog/page/2#post-1818695 Mon, 26 Jun 2017 03:07:26 +0000 Jaime 1818695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my!

Like the Veronica Beard blazer.<br /> I'm still thinking about the outfit Angie posted a while ago with a concert tee &amp; blazer<br /> Shoes seem pretty blah. So many slip on sneakers.

Hard and expensive won wisdom.<br /></i><br />You said it. I've made some expensive mistakes, too, and some, smaller, less expensive ones that added up. ;)&nbsp;</p> <p>I've learned:&nbsp;</p> <p>It's okay to order it, try it, and send it or take it back. (This is harder for me in Canada but not impossible, and if I do it relatively quickly, there's no need to feel guilty.)&nbsp;</p> <p>Listen to Angie's recommendations about items, and read descriptions very carefully.&nbsp;</p> <p>I do best at the sale if I focus on basics (undies, etc.) and a few, high quality items that are hard for me to source and that I could not otherwise get at this price. Examples being bags, weatherproof booties or boots, a great coat or blazer, and occasionally a designer jean (since jeans are a staple wardrobe item and updating denim is key to my style.) &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2017-online-catalog/page/2#post-1818547 Sun, 25 Jun 2017 14:30:11 +0000 Anonymous 1818547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is NAS the right time to stock up in high-end brands?<br /> It looks like the best deals are to be had in this arena, but I haven't looked in detail at the prices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2017-online-catalog/page/2#post-1818544 Sun, 25 Jun 2017 14:21:04 +0000 gryffin 1818544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz - that's a really important point. &nbsp;My first NAS I got caught up in the herd frenzy and I over bought and spent way too much on stuff I did not love or need. &nbsp;I've tried really hard ever since to remain focused although on the last 2 did I succeed on that. &nbsp;What looks so wonderful on others sometimes is really not our personal style and it's easy to make a judgement error in the excitement. &nbsp;Knowing what I wanted helped me quickly scan through the catalog and say my planned purchases not NAS were still the best. &nbsp;I'll wait for the big reveal but right now nothing is calling to me. &nbsp;It's only a great value if the pieces are the right pieces. &nbsp;Hard and expensive won wisdom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2017-online-catalog/page/2#post-1818475 Sun, 25 Jun 2017 03:45:32 +0000 Suz 1818475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really good point, <b>Gryffin, </b>about reflecting on our needs before even looking at the catalogue.&nbsp; It can be hard at an early stage of wardrobe development or style consciousness (if that makes sense) to acquire or maintain that focus, but it's really helpful to aim towards it. </p> <p>I know that my first few years of shopping the sale, I struggled to know what I needed. Well...no wonder, I truly needed everything, building from nothing to a complete wardrobe! And then for a few years after meeting core needs, it seemed equally hard to figure out what I <i>wanted.<br /></i><br />But now I can clearly see wardrobe holes, both the <i>needs</i>...like bras and workout gear and replacement essentials such as, for me, a long grey cardigan, along with the&nbsp;<i>wants–</i>for me, statement items that make my essentials feel a bit more current, yet still fit in with my overall style preferences/ persona, and that do not duplicate perfectly good things that I already have and love.</p> <p>I find the catalogue more of an amuse bouche but when the pre-sale begins, that's when it is really easy to get distracted! It's much easier to navigate with a list in hand. Yes, I inevitably end up going for a wild card -- something I did not plan or anticipate. But that is okay. As long as I make sure it's not 100 wildcards in my cart!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-2017-online-catalog/page/2#post-1818425 Sat, 24 Jun 2017 22:24:59 +0000 columbine(erin) 1818425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the link.
