The top, jeans, and skirt are fantastic on you. And you will rock that plaid dress--such a pretty and fun retro look!

You had a great NAS :)  Those jeans, skirt, and the floral blouse are the KILLER bomb on you!  Such a pity about the jumpsuit :( Fun country dress!!  Maybe try this jumpsuit. It's been a winner with clients.

Will help unorphan a top that sits in my closet more than I'd like it to.  - high waisted WIW jeans, these fit really well and are something I was hoping would be at the sale (pics 1 & 3) - earrings, great length and lots to coordinate with in my closet - funnel neck top: very light weight so maybe not the best for places with real winters but good for our mild but occasionally damp winters  - Fantasie bra: New brand for me, loved how it looked. <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.nordstrom.com/s/fusion-underwire-side-support-bra/4902891">https://www.nordstrom.com/s/fu.....ra/4902891</a> Not the NAS but fun: I like to keep an eye on the Rack during the sale, a couple years ago I scored a great Bernardo puffer jacket that I love.  This year I got a cute dress for a bunch of vintage country music performances I have coming up :)  Everything else went back, including a couple other pairs of loafers and a The biggest disappoint after the loafers was the jump suit because it was so close!  But the seam at the waist was all messed up.  I considered whether anyone else would notice or then in the reviews there were a number of reviews complaining of poor construction so back it went.  Bummer but I'll keep an eye out for other options. On a positive note the return process was a lot quicker than I've had it be in the past so kudos to Nordstrom.  Hope everyone had a fun sale!  Star (Lise) on "Trickling in" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trickling-in#post-2331416 Thu, 20 Jul 2023 19:59:03 +0000 Star (Lise) 2331416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The pink jacket is really good, hope it works out for you.  I have loafers that I cannot wear because they hurt my ankle.  Fortunately they did not cost that much. rachylou on "Trickling in" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trickling-in#post-2331410 Thu, 20 Jul 2023 19:14:53 +0000 rachylou 2331410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like those slings Suz on "Trickling in" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trickling-in#post-2331409 Thu, 20 Jul 2023 19:10:22 +0000 Suz 2331409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hope the loafers work out! I hear you on the too wide armholes. It's a constant issue for me as well.  Roberta on "Trickling in" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trickling-in#post-2331402 Thu, 20 Jul 2023 17:52:52 +0000 Roberta 2331402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The loafers look better on you than on the model for sure. For the price, I would insist on perfect comfort. Angie on "Trickling in" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trickling-in#post-2331394 Thu, 20 Jul 2023 17:18:48 +0000 Angie 2331394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great to see you chime in, VintageDawn!  Too wide armholes are sooooo annoying. What a shame. Such a pretty dress :( I echo Sharan 100% on the loafers. Great looking loafer on you! Make sure the comfort is there.  Your other items look potentially fab! Hope they work out. Loving that jumpsuit :) Firecracker (Sharan) on "Trickling in" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trickling-in#post-2331392 Thu, 20 Jul 2023 17:05:14 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2331392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Those loafers look good on your feet. If the ankle issue doesn't feel better after wearing them around the house, I bet you'll come across another style later that will work. The jumpsuit is gorgeous! I hope it works out for you. And with those earrings, it would be lovely for performing. Fingers crossed for the jacket to come back, too! VintageDawn on "Trickling in" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trickling-in#post-2331389 Thu, 20 Jul 2023 16:58:02 +0000 VintageDawn 2331389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh I feel like I drift away every year and then come back for the NAS, I so appreciate Angie's reviews and top picks, and I really enjoy vicariously shopping through everyone, especially for things I don't really need. Bit by bit my order(s) have been trickling in, but most things won't come until towards the end of the week. So far the only things I've received  are the satin dress, which will go back, and the Paul Green loafers.  I tried the dress in both colors thinking it would be a good performance dress, but it had 2 issues.  The armpit holes were too bit/my bra was showing, and then the fit of the bottom section was just strange, a bit more boxy that it looks in the pictures. But the neckline was nice and the satin was more flattering that I suspected it would be so I think it could work on someone taller and not as short waisted.  It also arrived pretty wrinkled (folded in a bag), I considered letting it hang for a bit in the bathroom but decided not to bother since that wouldn't fix the armhole issue and I'm not interested in it enough to see about getting those tailored.  The Paul Green loafers are definitely a splurge for me, but would replace 2 pairs of shoes, aging pikolino mary janes that have never felt quite right and a pair of not very flattering clogs, neither of which seemed like they worked with cropped hems.  I've been looking for a pair of loafers for a while and not seeing anything that really spoke to me, I like the sportiness of these, combined with the elastic, since my heel usually steps out of loafers.  I'm on the fence though as they seem a little tight through the toe box and are rubbing my ankle a bit.  I suspect the toe box will stretch a bit, but I don't know if the ankle issue will resolve itself.  The color in nordstrom's pic is much more representative than in my photos. If the loafers don't work, maybe the slingbacks are a good alternative.  On reflection I'm not super excited about the fitflop loafers, but again, elastic back and I really like my flip flops from them so seemed worth trying as an alternative.  I'm really hoping the CeCe blazer comes back in pink, it would be so fun to wear to the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.madonnainn.com">Madonna Inn</a>, where I perform most weeks.  The jumpsuit and earrings are for there as well.
