I think I am going to get the magenta skirt but I really love the yellow but I am afraid outfits would be hard for me with that color. I also like the turquoise Joie blouse but it does not come in petite. Was the length OK for you? I have a phone appt. Wednesday any advice would be great. Thanks for the post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-i-got-some-stuff#post-379107 Wed, 06 Jul 2011 04:25:03 +0000 yellowgirl 379107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't wait to see you goodies, Una! My appointment is tomorrow and I'm beyond excited! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-i-got-some-stuff#post-379102 Wed, 06 Jul 2011 04:13:49 +0000 Jenava 379102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, I was just pouring over the catalog online tonight, trying to narrow down what I want. Of course, there's always LOTS more than what is in the catalog...I like the Trina Turk l/s blouse, but I don't know if the colors will really work for me. I'm hoping there will be some other patterned l/s blouse since I could use one in my wardrobe. </p> <p>I'm intrigued by the "yellow raisin" colored seamed pencil skirt (with forest green, I'm thinking?)...</p> <p>But I realllly love the Brahmin satchel in faux croc. Also they have the Indigo by Clarks "water row" lace up bootie back in leather! I wanted it so bad last year and it sold out. And there is a Helene Berman wool cape that I think might be flattering in black...</p> <p>Employees can't shop till 2pm on the first day of the sale...*sigh* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-i-got-some-stuff#post-379096 Wed, 06 Jul 2011 04:02:56 +0000 Marley 379096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>La-La-La-La-I'm not listening-I'm not listening . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-i-got-some-stuff#post-379074 Wed, 06 Jul 2011 03:16:06 +0000 rae 379074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, all the links just send me to the cover page of the catalog - which clearly means you are obligated to post pics ASAP. Glad you had so much fun; living through you today! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-i-got-some-stuff#post-379066 Wed, 06 Jul 2011 03:03:43 +0000 modgrl 379066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for posting! So far I am much more excited about the men's stuff. It's hard to get inspired by winter apparel when it is 100 degrees outside. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-i-got-some-stuff#post-379007 Wed, 06 Jul 2011 01:38:04 +0000 Lisa 379007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't wait to see your new gems! *sobbing* because hubby won't let me get a card and I have to wait until the pre-select is over. And I am really hoping to snatch up a pair of Cole Haan boots I saw. But if items can be taken home during the pre-select I don't have much hope my sizes will stick around. *more sobbing* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-i-got-some-stuff#post-378979 Wed, 06 Jul 2011 00:41:07 +0000 Angie 378979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lets see it!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-i-got-some-stuff#post-378978 Wed, 06 Jul 2011 00:40:22 +0000 Kari 378978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome! I hope you will show photos soon.</p> <p>I can't wait. Mom, sister, and I have an appointment for July 14 for clothes, and I think I might tag along to my sister's shoe appointment tomorrow night as well. My sister and I had a blast last year and are excited to have our mom join in on the fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-i-got-some-stuff#post-378945 Tue, 05 Jul 2011 23:51:48 +0000 catgirl 378945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, just to add, if they will let you, I would suggest bringing a friend - my SA was too busy to give feedback, and I would have loved a friend (I tried taking pics to post here, but I couldn't get the angle right - how do you all take iphone photos?!)... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-i-got-some-stuff#post-378926 Tue, 05 Jul 2011 23:18:59 +0000 catgirl 378926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got to bring them home! They had samples in the tent and then had to send a runner to get the right sizes. I spent almost 2 hours because they didn't have enough staff. But it was okay because I had a ton of fun and time to think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-i-got-some-stuff#post-378925 Tue, 05 Jul 2011 23:17:32 +0000 MNsara 378925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, what fun! I'm off to try looking up some of your items online. . .they sound intriguing ;-)</p> <p>Did you get to bring them home? (I thought that was a big change for this year.) So we get pictures soon? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-i-got-some-stuff#post-378922 Tue, 05 Jul 2011 23:10:32 +0000 DressLover 378922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great summary! I really enjoyed reading it because I was supposed to preselect first thing this morning, but it wasn't in the cards for today. (First day after a long weekend is always a killer!) Going to go in a couple hours though.</p> <p>I can't wait to see pictures of your finds. That jacket sounds amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-i-got-some-stuff#post-378911 Tue, 05 Jul 2011 22:59:30 +0000 catgirl 378911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll post photos later but for now here are my impressions. There is a TON of stuff and lots of it is really fun and interesting. Here are the highlights from my perspective:</p> <p>- the Halogen seamed skirt is back in a dark lavender, mustard, dark grey and magenta.<br /> - there are tons of leather scuba jackets at my store<br /> - lots of darker autumn colors, ruffles and patterns<br /> - lots of neutrals<br /> - many asymmetrical and cropped jackets and sweaters with a shorter front hem and longer back hem</p> <p>So I got a Joie turquoise silk tunic (<a href="http://global.syndeca.com/nordstrom/anniversary/2011/sale/?catalogid=anniv2011" rel="nofollow">http://global.syndeca.com/nord.....=anniv2011</a>), a Halogen patterned tank, two of the seamed skirts (of which I might return the mustard depending on whether I can pull some outfits out of it), a cashmere cropped/wide asymmetric hem cardigan, and a pumpkin colored jacket from Amber Sun which is super-comfy and 70s-ish. </p> <p>I also got (but not on sale) a BCBG cropped black and white striped jacket which I made the mistake of trying on while waiting for my SA to go get my sizes. When she came back the first response out of her mouth was "That jacket is KILLER!". It's like she was channeling Angie. </p> <p>I did not love the faux shearing vest (sheds like crazy and runs very narrow), nor any of the button-down tops I tried (you all bought a shirt last year from the brand, but I can't for the life of me remember it now). I also tried on a Suzi Chin patterned sheath that ran HUGE - the size 2 was enormous on me. I stayed away from denim and casual clothes, although there was a huge variety of premium denim in every leg style as well as stretch leggings in wide-wale corduroy.</p> <p>This Trina Turk skirt was too long for me:</p> <p><a href="http://global.syndeca.com/nordstrom/anniversary/2011/sale/?catalogid=anniv2011" rel="nofollow">http://global.syndeca.com/nord.....=anniv2011</a></p> <p>The Saffron intarsia cardi is beautiful if you can wear these colors, but it's long!<br /> <a href="http://global.syndeca.com/nordstrom/anniversary/2011/sale/?catalogid=anniv2011" rel="nofollow">http://global.syndeca.com/nord.....=anniv2011</a></p> <p>And the Halogen peplum jacket is adorable but didn't fit right:</p> <p><a href="http://global.syndeca.com/nordstrom/anniversary/2011/sale/?catalogid=anniv2011" rel="nofollow">http://global.syndeca.com/nord.....=anniv2011</a></p> <p>There is an adorable grey and black plaid patterned wool belted moto jacket by Halogen that someone here should buy. Lots of cardis in mustards, purples, brown and chartreuse. This Trouve cropped jacket (all the way to the left) would be fab on someone who can wear this collar:</p> <p><a href="http://global.syndeca.com/nordstrom/anniversary/2011/sale/?catalogid=anniv2011" rel="nofollow">http://global.syndeca.com/nord.....=anniv2011</a></p> <p>It was a really fun and interesting experience getting that level of service, and I only spent half of what I had set aside for the sale (not including the BCBG jacket). I did NOT get to look at shoes or bags as I ran out of time!</p> <p>Any questions, just ask - I looked VERY carefully at everything they had out in my store. </p>
