Hope they work for you.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-overload#post-1824295 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 19:19:07 +0000 DonnaF 1824295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So great you were able to score that floral bomber. Since was backordered by 2 a.m. I don't feel like a big slacker. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-overload#post-1824215 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 16:11:27 +0000 Keix 1824215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the input, Angie! I will cross my fingers about the booties. My feet are ultra-fussy with "barefoot" shoes but more open-minded if they can wear socks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-overload#post-1824046 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 13:44:13 +0000 Angie 1824046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are top picks, KL: pullover and booties.</p> <p>The booties look soooo good on the foot. They aren't all that soft though, so I didn't find them comfy. But you might.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-overload#post-1823996 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 12:54:57 +0000 Lisa 1823996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some great pieces here. &nbsp;And you didn't really order all that much, one year I ordered over 50 items! &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-overload#post-1823874 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 04:22:37 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1823874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun! Lots of good picks here, and your explanations seem perfectly reasonable to me. I love the black lace longline bralette and black sheer blouse for going out. It's a combo that will look alluring but subtle in the low lighting of a club. The James Perse blazer looks really cool, good for you, picking it up in a couple of sizes so you don't miss out this year. And figure skating clothes! Good to get them on sale, and with triple points, too. (I used a triple points day today, too. Makes sense on my biggest shopping day of the year.) </p> <p>High five on the Mother jeans--I got those, too. And I have the Halogen kick flares from last year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-overload#post-1823871 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 04:19:59 +0000 JAileen 1823871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the grey boots and the Perse jacket. I wanted to order the jacket last year but I think it sold out while I was thinking about it. </p> <p>My credit card might be mortally wounded. I ordered a ton, including the leather jacket from Macy's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-overload#post-1823866 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 04:04:55 +0000 Keix 1823866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have never actually worn the bra + sheer top combo before, but I really like it on others... I feel much better about it hearing from you all that it's not too "out there" of a look.</p> <p>This year's NAS seems exceptional, at least compared to recent years. In the past I've often been most drawn to pricey items, but a lot of the wild cards I'm most excited about are in the $50-$100 price range.</p> <p>I ordered the Adidas floral bomber at 2AM PST when the sale opened, and I kid you not, it was already backordered to July 25th. Last year one of my backordered items was ultimately cancelled, so I hope this one ships. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-overload#post-1823825 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 02:16:16 +0000 Tanya 1823825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great choices, a perfect mix of essentials and more statement-y items. I have also ordered the same Natori bra and have the Halogen black pointe pants from last year, they are awesome! I have actually ordered a duplicate in navy this time around </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-overload#post-1823823 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 02:09:25 +0000 Style Fan 1823823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that James Perse jacket and regret not ordering it last year in olive.&nbsp; I would now.&nbsp; I would wear a sheer blouse with a bra for date night.&nbsp; That is a beautiful blouse.&nbsp; <br />Great finds. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-overload#post-1823819 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 01:58:27 +0000 Anonymous 1823819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KL - I know what you mean about the float. Glad you were able to make a decision to rule out without the pockets. Better than the back and forth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-overload#post-1823804 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 01:33:31 +0000 Suz 1823804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Natori bras, too. I'm going to get nude and one other colour as yet to decide which one. And these are fabulous choices for you. I like the idea of the lace underneath the sheer for dates/ clubs. I have also got my eye on the DV booties in grey.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-overload#post-1823799 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 01:28:05 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1823799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like those same bras, ordered a bright blue set. Also I have the similar version of that James Perse jacket in dark olive from last year, and it is probably my favorite overall piece from the last year haul (I ordered a ton but returned a lot.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-overload#post-1823787 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 01:05:32 +0000 Anonymous 1823787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the sheer top and black lingerie item. I might try the latter...<br /> The mothers look good. I really would like to try these but I'm trying to move away from denim at work.</p> <p>Jump suit is soooo cool! I hope it works out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-overload#post-1823774 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 00:57:34 +0000 Momo 1823774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like a good mix of fun and practical. As I am always drawn to the fun ..I love e adidas jacket and those floral sneakers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-overload#post-1823748 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 00:10:02 +0000 kkards 1823748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, looks like you've got a great selection...and o love that adidas jacket- which is sold out already! I hadn't even had a chance to shop athletic/ workout stuff yet </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-overload#post-1823743 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 00:05:03 +0000 Keix 1823743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>delurked</b>: When I looked at the "lookbook" preview yesterday that another YLFer posted, I actually had my eye on another black topper as well (Find attached below). Ultimately I ruled it out because it doesn't have pockets, but the original plan was to order 2 sizes in each of the 2 jackets... that would have been $1k in credit card float :O I missed having a black jacket so many times this year that I'm willing to invest in a higher-end brand.</p> <p>Anyway, that's to say that I support ordering 6 pairs of black pants I agree that pants are tough to go high end on. I know rationally that shoes are worth investing in, but irrationally I tend to put my money into very well made dressy footwear (my taste in fancy shoes tends toward timeless quirky) rather than the neutral booties and sandals that I wear out every season. I am hard on shoes and it pains me to see them so beat-up if I've invested--of course, I should be thinking about CPW rather than how long I get to keep the item for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-overload#post-1823735 Thu, 13 Jul 2017 23:53:02 +0000 Anonymous 1823735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see a lot of replenishing basics (practical) as well as a few fashion choices. </p> <p>Btw, I don't have any issue with just a bra beneath mesh top. Certainly have done that in past. Small tear I'm past that now. </p> <p>Does it help if I mention I ordered 6 pairs of black pants in search of one? No local Nordstrom, and it's very difficult to see the detail of black pants online. I will get them all here and figure it out. I am also doing my triple points day today. I can't swear I'm done, but I got the pants, one short sleeve workout tee, and one Aquatalia boot to try. I told myself last year that going forward I would focus on quality footwear. I'm not quite willing to go high end on the pants, as I'm still fluctuating in weight, and want a pair that can be more forgiving of this shift. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-overload#post-1823730 Thu, 13 Jul 2017 23:35:35 +0000 Keix 1823730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Warning: I ordered A LOT of stuff today... Used my Triple Points Day so I'm trying to front-load ordering anything that I want to try on. I have a Nordstrom store 10 minutes from my house but it's a very small store (convenient for returns though).</p> <p>1) First, I usually refresh my bra wardrobe at NAS by purchasing another Feathers bra. I have probably too many of them by now and should retire some of the years-old ones. They have a nice nude-ish color in the sale this year so I knew I definitely wanted that. Meanwhile, I've been into bralettes lately for the comfort--I don't need much in the way of support--so I ordered a simple nude wireless bralette to try and a pretty black longline one that I plan to wear under a sheer black shirt.</p> <p>2) Speaking of which, I know layering only a bra under a shirt THIS sheer (Hinge Ruffle Mesh Blouse) is a bit risque for most YLFers... I am under the average age demographic here but I still dress more conservatively than a lot of people my age. If it works out, I plan to wear this bralette/sheer shirt combo ONLY to nightclubs, where I feel a bit more daring. I guess I could wear the shirt day-to-day with a cami underneath, too, but honestly it's a bit too alluring for my normal non-clubbing style.</p> <p>3) Repeat workhorses and/or assuaged regrets from last year's sale: I still regret returning the black James Perse blazer before styling it properly in try-ons. I haven't found anything to fill the put-together-casual black topper hole. So this year I ordered 2 sizes, to compare with a slightly looser fit. In the repeat workhorse category, I really loved last year's Trouve tunic sweater and was happy to see them bring back a similar version (slightly different neckline). I also threw in the Halogen cropped flares from last year, because I never got to try them on in my size... annoyed about the lack of front pockets though.</p> <p>4) Athleisure: Zella cropped leggings because with my new hobby, figure skating, I've found that cropped leggings are better than full length. I have 3 Beyond Yoga exercise tanks already, could use another, and I love their cottony spacedye fabric. Then I threw in two wildcards, a cozy circle cardi and a floral bomber jacket; both styles tend to look sloppy on me, but maybe these will be the exceptions!</p> <p>5) Footwear: I need a pair of lighter-colored flat booties, preferably with a fitted, higher ankle shaft. Really hoping that the Dolce Vita pair is comfy and narrow enough in the shaft. The Gentle Souls high top sneakers are another wildcard; I don't really wear sneakers because I dislike fussing with laces, but these are zip-entry only with a cool print and I always need all-day walking shoes.</p> <p>6) At the end I threw in a few trendy impulse buys--step-hem cropped Mother jeans, a black jumpsuit. And the scallop-hem Halogen sweater, which isn't trendy but I wanted to see the shade of red in person and I don't intend on venturing in-store for long this year.</p> <p>If all that excess wasn't enough, I also ordered a new blanket for the couch - but that's a replacement I've been meaning to make for a while now, so I'm crediting it towards the household budget rather than my shopping budget. I might still pick up some candles as gifts, but otherwise I am waiting impatiently for everything to arrive. Although I haven't looked too closely at my July budget totals (eek), I'm quite good at ruthlessly returning things--sometimes too ruthlessly, see point #3--so I will square the numbers after I've tried everything on. </p>
