How does that happen? Either way, I've collected far too many items, but I don't doubt that the things I want most will be sold out before I have a chance to buy. Fortunately, the things I want tend to go even lower in price soon after NAS, so there's that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-preview-is-live---first-impressions/page/2#post-2208395 Thu, 08 Jul 2021 03:50:04 +0000 Suz 2208395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>LisaP,</b> thank you.

Not bad , but if you have delicate earlobes or piercing that are low on the lobe ( age , stretching over the years etc) - you might not find these will work . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-preview-is-live---first-impressions/page/2#post-2208355 Wed, 07 Jul 2021 23:20:05 +0000 Suz 2208355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>DonnaF,</b> where is the laugh button? :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Having had a chance to page through the US offerings (only a small fraction of which we will see in Canada) my sense is that it's all about the 90s! Ditsy prints, combat boots, plaid in coats and jackets, mixed plaids. Lots of black. Oversized. And so on.&nbsp;</p> <p>I found lots of stuff to like, but of that stuff, which do I need or want? Off to create a shopping strategy for fall and for that I will re-read Angie's strategy post.&nbsp;</p> <p>Things that caught my eye -- few, if any of which, I'll buy. :)&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-preview-is-live---first-impressions/page/2#post-2208314 Wed, 07 Jul 2021 20:11:33 +0000 DonnaF 2208314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After collecting too much in my Wish List, I’m trying to weed out the Imaginary Life items.

It's really helpful to see what's catching everyone's eyes. I am in the strange position of shopping for sandals at NAS, haha. With no need for boots or sweaters or outerwear, it does make it easier to sort through the selections! Here are a few things on my radar. I have learned to wait and see Angie's picks before making purchases, as she inevitably turns up fantastic items that I don't notice in the preview.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-preview-is-live---first-impressions/page/2#post-2208228 Wed, 07 Jul 2021 12:33:36 +0000 Christina F. 2208228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like a decent assortment. Better than last year! I don’t have huge needs but am usually looking for cool coats and jackets, and boots. But I will also get more Wit &amp; Wisdom jeans. I don’t have the credit card and don’t plan to get it this year, so I have to wait and see what’s available when I can shop. </p> <p>I also look at bags and (not “real”) jewelry but not much caught my eye. </p> <p>There is some other stuff but this stuff is already in finds: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-preview-is-live---first-impressions#post-2208217 Wed, 07 Jul 2021 11:09:15 +0000 Tanya 2208217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for sharing your impressions and items that look interesting.&nbsp; There is some teal available, however it is either in items I don't need ( like he lovely teal coat Janet posted, but I already have&nbsp; teal coat) or are not that interesting.&nbsp; &nbsp; I have not seen any eggplant at all.&nbsp; &nbsp; I am wondering if bootcut /flare jeans are making an even bigger comeback.</p> <p>Glad to see there is some interest the combat boots - I have decided to give them a try and keep if they are comfortable enough.</p> <p>I am also sorry to hear about lack of petite options -Nordstrom used to be much better about that.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-preview-is-live---first-impressions#post-2208177 Wed, 07 Jul 2021 02:33:57 +0000 Desmo April 2208177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't posted in ages but NAS can drag me back for now. The one thing that I was hoping for were the&nbsp;Spanx Faux Leather Ankle Pants--not the leggings. They don't seem to be included which is a bummer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-preview-is-live---first-impressions#post-2208163 Wed, 07 Jul 2021 01:50:34 +0000 Beth0707 2208163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie-- Those Sam Edelman Poppy tennies-- &nbsp; LOVE THOSE! &nbsp; Thank you ! &nbsp; So weird-- I had gone through all the flats and they didn't come up, but when I searched a different way, they did.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-preview-is-live---first-impressions#post-2208104 Tue, 06 Jul 2021 22:29:02 +0000 Anonymous 2208104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ack -those combat boots belong in my closet stat .

My current need replacing… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-preview-is-live---first-impressions#post-2208015 Tue, 06 Jul 2021 18:10:27 +0000 Diana 2208015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve not looked through the whole sale yet, but I did look through the coats, shoes, and pants which is generally what I have the best luck at NAS with. So far the only thing that really stands out to me is this pair of combat boots (which I noticed you also singled out, Tanya!) because that shaft height (8.5”) is my favorite and quite difficult to find. </p> <p>Otherwise I will probably also buy another pair of rag and bone Dre jeans, which are my favorites, although I have to compare the available washes to what I already have first. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-preview-is-live---first-impressions#post-2208013 Tue, 06 Jul 2021 18:07:00 +0000 VintageDawn 2208013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suzanne, I came to post almost the very same thing - the petite selection was really lacking, so disappointing.&nbsp; I'm holding out hope that maybe b/c we're still in preview there are going to be sizes added.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-preview-is-live---first-impressions#post-2208006 Tue, 06 Jul 2021 17:29:03 +0000 Angie 2208006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some good mid-calf boots, light footwear, loafers and red footwear! I like these&nbsp; for my own style: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-preview-is-live---first-impressions#post-2208005 Tue, 06 Jul 2021 17:27:43 +0000 Suzanne (ambergreen) 2208005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Last year I tried 4 things, and only one of them worked. I was prepared for sparse findings of interest this time.</div><div><br /></div><div>Overall, I was a little surprised at the limited color selections, and a lot of the styles are either too ordinary and uninteresting or just a little strange with their design choices and toward "what were they thinking?" But, among the over 3500 items I paged through (just the category Women), I found 20 things I will happily try out! <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>These include sports bras thankfully in real bra sizes, skirts, a rain jacket, ankle boots including combats, a sweater, a long sleeve T, a dress, a utility bag, a ring, even a pair of cargo pants and one pair of jeans.</div><div><br /></div><div>However: out of those more than 3500 items, how many were marked as petite (well, in my size, but I'm guessing it would be the same for all petite sizes)?</div><div><br /></div><div>31.</div><div><br /></div><div>What happened, Nordy...did we petites just suddenly disappear over the last year?</div><div><br /></div><div>Admittedly, the main thing I would need in petite is pants and jeans, and I don't need jeans--especially not skinnies. I don't really need other pants either. I don't really need petites in tops because of my shoulders and bust combo, although I have to be OK with sleeves frequently being too long but that can often be worked with. Many skirts can be forgiving too. The biggest missing for me is petite dresses, really. I'll check back to see if they add any, but hmm...not a single one yet? Hmm.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway. That's my take, from my little special interest corner.</div><div><br /></div><div>I am really psyched though that I even found this many things to try, and really looking forward to the fun!</div><div><br /></div><div>Also, I have to say that one of my first thoughts on checking out the preview was of the great items I already have in my closet, many brought to my attention through the fun and fab postings of all of you here over the years. :D<br /></div> </p>
