The bottle of lingerie wash arrived in record time, one piece should come today, two more on Friday, and six are still “getting ready.” </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-might-order#post-1941602 Thu, 26 Jul 2018 14:00:44 +0000 Christina F. 1941602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered this stuff on Friday morning, and STILL NO SHIPMENT NOTICE. I did get an e-mail swearing they'd get me the stuff in time anyway, but the date of "in time" can't be found anywhere in the order info on their website. *sob* </p> <p>ETA: The moment after I posted this, I checked my e-mail again and saw the shipping notice for all four items. I figured it would be that way. They're not due till 8/1, but since i'm in NYC I find I often get items faster.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-might-order#post-1939377 Fri, 20 Jul 2018 15:07:27 +0000 The Cat 1939377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations!

I measured my calf and it seems like the boots will work with enough leeway to tuck in skinnies. Of course, the boots and dress can go together, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-might-order#post-1939279 Fri, 20 Jul 2018 11:13:07 +0000 kkards 1939279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>glad you were able to order your top items! the boots will be fab for an NYC winter...and i can see you in that red dress... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-might-order#post-1939276 Fri, 20 Jul 2018 11:09:00 +0000 Christina F. 1939276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was able to wake up at 7 am eastern and get the boots plus the other three items. My budget is tapped out unless something goes back, but it will be worth it if the boots work. I walk a lot while commuting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-might-order#post-1939203 Fri, 20 Jul 2018 02:45:31 +0000 Angie 1939203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More top picks!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-might-order#post-1939140 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 22:16:47 +0000 The Cat 1939140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those boots look gorgeous, classic, sleek, casual elegant and versatile.

They are hard to fit on me, I am leaving for vacation in early August and won't have a ton of time to send things back and forth to Nordies (no physical store with women's stuff here in NYC till next year, alas).</div><div><br /></div><div>I want to order the first 4 items in the early morning if I can. I may consider the final 5 later on if they don't sell out before the sale ends, depending how the other work out. The boots are going to be a big investment, so I don't want to make a huge order because they are priority #1.</div><div><br /></div><div>I am feeling red this year. I'd like the red top in the hopes it may work with my BR black lace skirt. I also am eager to try Angie's new dress in red. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>As for some of the other items I ruled out: I love the KS scarf, but since I wear so many other prints, a printed scarf has limited utility for me. The Blondo waterproof sneaker reviews aren't great.&nbsp; And I decided the rest isn't really a priority. <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-might-order#post-1936855 Sat, 14 Jul 2018 13:30:45 +0000 Angie 1936855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The boots are a top pick: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-might-order#post-1936808 Sat, 14 Jul 2018 07:25:43 +0000 rachylou 1936808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-might-order#post-1936767 Sat, 14 Jul 2018 02:48:42 +0000 Christina F. 1936767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aquamarine, I have to check my calf measurements. My calves look thinner than they apparently are. I can’t zip up ever pair of tall boots I try. Of course, I have access to cobblers, who can presumably stretch them. </p> <p>Rachylou, the other color is a grey that looks kinda brownish. </p> <p>Suz, I’ll set an alarm! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-might-order#post-1936762 Sat, 14 Jul 2018 02:34:52 +0000 Aquamarine 1936762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aquatalia are worth every penny, in my opinion. They wear like iron, are extremely comfortable for my picky feet, and are waterproof. I have 4 pairs now (various heights and colors), and I can’t imagine winter without them. I also have thin calves so they are one of the few boots that work for me. I also like La Canadienne, and have that Aquatalia twin you are eying in that brand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-might-order#post-1936761 Sat, 14 Jul 2018 02:18:44 +0000 rachylou 1936761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! Hehe! My first glimpse of this year’s Bernardo Puffy!! I wonder if it comes in brown... I have to look online. My navy puffy is in good shape. I need to replace my brown one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-might-order#post-1936752 Sat, 14 Jul 2018 01:37:56 +0000 Toban 1936752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely picks. I hope you’re able to fill the majority of your order when the sale goes public. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-might-order#post-1936747 Sat, 14 Jul 2018 00:50:50 +0000 Anonymous 1936747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look like awesome picks. I particularly like the puffer (such a pretty colour!) and the map scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-might-order#post-1936743 Sat, 14 Jul 2018 00:31:40 +0000 Suz 1936743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous boots and worth stalking. The time to watch is the first day of the regular sale -- <b>REALLY</b> early in the morning.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm stalking the Caries then. I got last year's version of the tall boot last year and adore them.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm also considering the Blondo sneakers. I hope Angie weighs in on those.&nbsp;</p> <p>Kuts are always a great value. I don't need burgundy jeans (have a pair from 2 sales ago) or I would bite on those.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-might-order#post-1936562 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 17:38:36 +0000 frannieb 1936562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those aquatalia's are beautiful - wish I could do tall boots. Hope you will be able to add them to your wardrobe.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-might-order#post-1936547 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 17:06:30 +0000 Thistle 1936547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie has said those Aquatalia boots are amazing.&nbsp; Keep stalking them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-might-order#post-1936540 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 16:58:46 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1936540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I liked the belt bag/ fanny pack, too (though I ended up ordering a pink one elsewhere). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-might-order#post-1936535 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 16:45:13 +0000 Christina F. 1936535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Hey everyone! I can't order yet. I don't want a store card, so no early access for me. I may not be able to fulfill my wishlist once the sale goes fully public, as a result. <b>I am okay with this. </b>If I am dying for something that much, I'll suck it up and pay more in the future.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>I do have very limited needs for Fall that I would like to fulfill. I also like to keep an open mind about wildcards. Wildcards are the spice of life. Any feedback on these based on experience in store (no Nordies yet here in NYC, so I have to order), or on what you know about my style, is appreciated.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>Things on my official list:</div><div><br /> </div><div>1. New puffer coat. I like this Bernardo one best of all the sale, due to the color.</div><div><br /> </div><div>2. Thegic Aquatalia boots, if I can get them. My tall black boots are falling apart. These would be used so much over a period of years that they'd be worth the price.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>3. Burgundy bottom. I have seen these Kuts get nice reviews.</div><div><br /> </div><div>4. My current black pencil skirt is not as nice and has a split seam.<br /> </div><br /> <div>Possible orders (not top needs)</div><div><br /> </div><div>1. Trouve wrap blouse - I am looking to add a wrap blouse to my wardrobe. (One of the few tops I have my eye on). I have a summer one on order, so this would partly depend on how I feel about that one when I get it.</div><div><br /> </div><div>2. Camuto houndstooth sweater. I'm a sucker for houndstooth. Don't really need more tops, though, or knits.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>3. KS map scarf. I am a sucker for a map print of any kind.</div><div><br /> </div><div>4. Halogen vest. I looked to add something like this last winter, and failed. It would help with my layering options for the office, so that I can layer over a sleeved look (I can almost never make sweaters or blazers over long sleeves fit my arms properly).</div><div><br /> </div><div>5. Camuto pants. I'd like some cropped non-summer (ie non-linen) pants.</div><div><br /> </div><div>6. Blondo sneakers. A waterproof sneaker strikes me as an excellent idea. On the other hand, with my back problems I'm not sure I'd be able to wear it very soon, as very few shoes work for me on the pavement right now (Vionics and Naots, in sandals). It's kind of the same with the Aquatalias, but there's more of a chance back might be better by the time I'd really want to wear them, come November or so. These sneakers could in theory be worn as early as September. It's not a dealbreaker, just a consideration.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>7. Minkoff belt bag - I like the cheaper one I got. I love this as a solid colored, fashionable option.. I cringe at even the sale price, though, for a small nylon bag. I am likely to talk myself out of it.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>I also have my eye on various other tops, and a couple of dresses (Angie's favorite is great, of course), but I'm really set in those areas, as well as for knitwear. I currently have more than I can store comfortably in the space I have.</div><div><br />ETA: updated wishlist in comments.<br /> </div></p>
