And it's over..... - YouLookFab Forum

I could have used another week! Work is very crazy. I couldn't do a proper shop. I'm on my 6th eleven hour day right now and have a reference to write when I get off!

Also, I'm missing the Olympics!

Like rachy I could have used more time. This has been a crazy time for me. I didn't get a chance to really do as much shopping as I wanted. Two items are on their way. One top and the Jen 7 pants/jeans.

Yes I will miss the fun. This is my first time participating in the NAS.

I'm still sorting through what to keep and return! NAS lives on for me until that's over.

I have a few boxes still coming this week and lamenting a few things I didn't jump on but yes, glad to be done for now. I will need to sort out the keep/returns (& dollars spent) and start making some directions for fall.

Stink! I thought today was the last day. I was going to do some in store returns and feel better that I got them back while the sale was still on. Oh well, a technicality, and I want them off my card asap.

I'm with Staysfit...I have two more boxes coming and a few final decisions still to make. And a summary post to make! Have to do those for closure.

I still have stuff coming to me to test out...so we shall see! I definitely have the bulk of the shopping done though and will be glad to move into autumn with such lovely wardrobe pets!

We moved houses in the middle of the sale and i still ended up making a lot of purchases. There was one last item for DD that I didn't get (at least I don't think I ordered it -- pretty chaotic around here) and will have to purchase at full price.

I still have a few items on their way to me and I think I exhausted any possibilities for myself. So I'm ready for it to be over.

I can't really say I feel sad or relieved. I had shopped madly, then I went out of town last week, and suddenly it was over for me. I have some decisions to make, and some things to return.

Similar to JAileen, I started off fast and furious with a number of orders. Almost everything has been returned but I still have a few stragglers. My last order was one sale item that got cancelled and a pair of boots that were non sale. All in all, I kept 6 pieces- 2 toppers, 2 pants, a top and a necklace- and I am happy with all of them.

In past years I've noticed some items get clearances to NAS prices or lower as soon as the sale is over. It never really ends!

Whew! I've got one bra on its way and a couple of things to return, but that's it. I'm keeping the first four finds. The navy Caslon jacket (last find) never came back in a Small, which is too bad. I am considering hanging on to the medium for a couple of weeks to see if I can do an exchange at the sale price after some returns come in.

I do wish I had had time to go to the actual store and try things on, but this was a crazy few weeks for me - I went to not one, but two conferences as well as a quick weekend trip out of town (none of them near a Nordies!) during NAS so it was all online for me this time.

I had much less excitement -- and less FOMO -- this year because I was more preoccupied with other things, mainly travel. I got a chance to shop it a little in Seattle and then again for a couple of hours at home, and I perused some online offerings, but all in all, I ended up with just four things from NAS, and I am content with that. I've done some other shopping recently, and I have no desire to go overboard with shopping and spending right now. I'm excited to have some refreshers, but there is plenty in my closet from years past that will still serve me well.

I've been deep into house renovations so all shopping was done online this year. I didn't buy much, but still ended up doing some damage...enough so that I'm glad the sale is over.

Also, totally agree that it's worth stalking pieces in the next few weeks. Last year, lots of items later went on sale at prices that were even lower than NAS prices.

My last two chances to get something from the sale are still on their way. Fingers crossed.

I have one package left to be delivered, but yes, I am relieved that the sale has ended. There was just too much temptation for me. Still I am really pleased with my purchases. I bought very sensibly. I filled needs.

I didn't end up with the items I was really searching for (black booties and a black purse) but I did end up with a few other goodies. I only made three purchases this year:

The blazer hasn't arrived yet,
the Halogen sweater is the perfect weight for year-round wear,
and the earrings are super fun and will go with everything.

I got really busy and forgot to check back-I read the first few in a rush. So, late comments if anyone checks back.

Rachylou, that is a brutal work schedule. I hope it has calmed down. I loved hearing about shopping with your little one in the stroller :). I'm on the other end of the spectrum. We've had the Olympics on non-stop and I'm ready for them to be over.

Style Fan, this was my third, but my first not just buying accessories. Although I still love my booties, jewelry and bag from the first two years.

StaysFit, AviaMaria, JAileen- I'm still deciding. One more ready to go back.

Muffin, NAS has helped me have a direction for fall.

Peri, Sorry you thought you had another day.
I too try to get as much returned during the sale as I can so others can get the great price and so it's off my card, but I didn't make it with a few items. I'm just now realizing it's only been a week since the sale ended. It's been a busy, full week. Although I am still mulling over a purchase or two from day 1, which was a while ago.

Suz, I love the phrase wardrobe pets! Smiling for days.

BrieN, impressive that you got shopping in. Sorry you have to pay full price for that item.

Susie, sounds like some nice items. Glad you are happy with your purchases.

Traci, great advice. I'll be on the lookout. Have you noticed that on anything yet?

Nice finds Diana. I love that jacket and hope there's something like it next year. I don't need it this year.

Janet, we're necklace twins if I keep it. Love the jacket especially. Looks like you've added pieces with great impact.

Lisa, best response ever. I'm afraid mine burned and I didn't notice. That's why I'm trying to return as soon as I decide.

Beth, glad you found some things while you were busy. Do you like home renovations? I love the results but hate the process. I have a 85% done bathroom to show for it. Lacking vanity doors, medicine cabinet, towel bars.

Jenn, I hope those 2 items are keepers.

Sterling, glad you got some needs filled. I filled one need, possibly one hole, bought my watch which I love love love but did not need, and the rest was either unexpected extras or items I'm still pondering, some of which may fill a need and some of which don't. I had hoped to have my needs filled, but I have more shopping to do.

Karie, I love that jacket, and the sweater is one of my purchases.

Hoping I didn't miss anyone. Thanks for your answers. I learned a few things from them.

I'm glad it's done, It was very fun seeing what Fabbers were trying, and reading their reviews. Before the sale, I planned to focus on just a couple of wardrobe holes to try; after a couple weeks, I got pulled into the enthusiasm here and started adding lots of items to my Nordstrom wish list. Thank goodness I didn't actually order or buy all of them! I'm delighted with what I ended up keeping.
