What flavor is your specialty? The only thing I do not like is coconut.</p> <p>San - After I came home from NAS, I checked online to see if I could get the Dansko Sissy at a better price since they were not on sale at the time and I found it here with lots more options!<br /> <a href="http://www.thewalkingcompany.com/brands/product.aspx?ProductID=12108&#038;pagetag=Women_Casual_Sandals&#038;source=search&#038;criteria=All&#038;text=dansko&#038;oldpagetag=All" rel="nofollow">http://www.thewalkingcompany.c.....agetag=All</a><br /> So I returned my pair and ordered the brown braided and the berry Gecko since I couldn't decide between practical brown or a fun red. They just arrived today and I'll take pics tomorrow. If I'm in love with them both, then I'll declare one an early birthday present which should relieve my hubby from having to buy me something...at least I hope he will feel that way. : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-i-went-i-bought-im-grounded#post-186787 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 21:17:44 +0000 Anonymous 186787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did great AJ. I love all of the things that you got. I do think the sale is good this year. My first impression of it was not as promising but as it went on I found more, and more, and more. Now I need to ground myself too!<br /> I saw the Danskos on sale this morning on the Nordstrom website. Maybe you should call and check it out.<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3090264/0~2376778~2372808~6028080~6028540?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=6028540&#038;P=10" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....&#038;P=10</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-i-went-i-bought-im-grounded#post-186780 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 21:10:06 +0000 Louise 186780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like you more than made up for last year </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-i-went-i-bought-im-grounded#post-186760 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 20:49:21 +0000 Inge 186760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deal Beth and AJ!-))) I'll bake, you two show off your fab loot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-i-went-i-bought-im-grounded#post-186745 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 20:29:34 +0000 Beth 186745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, AJ.

You did very well.</p> <p>I'm looking for a pair of flat boots .... would you say you could wear boot cut jeans over those boots or not? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-i-went-i-bought-im-grounded#post-185260 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 11:03:27 +0000 Sparky 185260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ, you look fantastic! I LOVE that hat on you. The boots bookend quite nicely with it too. You did very well at NAS ~ great purchases all around. I bought the same trench coat too during presale and can't wait to receive it. It fits like a dream ~ I love Nordstrom now for their petite stuff. I doubt I'll wear the trench as well as you though; always love seeing your stylish pics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-i-went-i-bought-im-grounded#post-185256 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 10:52:01 +0000 April 185256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice haul, AJ!

The trench will be so useful, and I love those boots on you! I also love how edgy the bracelet is, and how versatile the dress will be! yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-i-went-i-bought-im-grounded#post-185209 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 06:18:33 +0000 AJ 185209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last year, I couldn't find anything I wanted to spend the money on. This year I thought it would be the same. I was wrong. Here's what I bought:</p> <p>I placed an order for the Michael Kors trench coat in black.<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3100039?Category=&#038;Search=True&#038;SearchType=keywordsearch&#038;keyword=Michael+kors+trench&#038;origin=searchresults" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/31.....rchresults</a></p> <p>In another thread, BethW mentioned this bracelet<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3113451?Category=&#038;Search=True&#038;SearchType=predictivesearch&#038;keyword=cara+bracelets&#038;origin=searchresults" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/31.....rchresults</a><br /> I thought I would not like it in person. WRONG! Had to have it! I also figured out a fourth way to wear it...as an edgy headband.</p> <p>I liked these bp boots online:<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3103592?Category=&#038;Search=True&#038;SearchType=predictivesearch&#038;keyword=bp.+women%27s+shoes&#038;origin=searchresults" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/31.....rchresults</a><br /> I figured on my feet, the shaft would be too big or too short or too something. WRONG! I bought it!</p> <p>The Dansko Sissy in Berry Gecko were not on sale, but I tried them on and they are my comfy substitute for Clarks Wellfleet! So another purchase made.</p> <p>I had to tear myself away from the store so that I wouldn't buy anything else. However, I went to JCPenney and found my favorite comfy summer dress purchase so far! I went up one size in case of shrinkage and I also wanted a cool, loose fit.</p> <p>So now I've spent more than I had budgeted and I'm grounding myself from shopping until September. : (</p> <p>Picture time!<br /> Summer look with dress and Dansko sandals:<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wearabouts_town/4804070286/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/w.....804070286/</a></p> <p>Early Fall look with dress and boots:<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wearabouts_town/4803438017/in/photostream/?editedcomment=1#comment72157624525690826" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/w.....4525690826</a></p> <p>I was feeling a bit sassy in the early Fall ensemble, so please forgive my set of poses. : )</p> <p>How did I do? </p>
