All righty, I shopped last week Thursday and had them shipped to my small-ish local Nordstrom. I waited until there was a critical mass for pickup. Overall, my strategy was to find a handbag or two, a few pairs of shoes, and a casual jacket, a winter coat, a trench coat if I can find the right one, and add in a few basics that I know I will use if they are at a price that makes sense. I didn't need dresses, blazers, knit tops, or skirts, which for the most part is good because apart from the blazers, this doesn't seem like the NAS for those items. I'm still waiting for the winter coats to arrive.

EDIT: added photos.

Here is what I kept
Nike Air Zoom Fearless Flyknit 2
Sail/Red Bronze/Guava ice. Unique with the sock like top and color. Comfortable, and will be a fun addition to my wardrobe. A little sparkly, but not too bad. Will be interesting to see how they hold up: the laces are held on by a couple of strings.
Caslon Metallic Stretch Utility Jacket
Olive British Camo. Love the blue-green camo, and I actually don't own anything camo. Nice cinched waist and stretch, finally a jacket that fits my enormous, muscular upper arms! Looks better zipped, IMO.
Coach 'Small Nomad' Leather Crossbody Bag
Another unique color item that I do not own. I've so far avoided Coach handbags, but this was was small, cute, and has a nice shape.

Still Debating, but likely return
Blondo Eliza Waterproof booties
Natural Snake leather. Liked them enough to bring them home, but then I put them on again. The heel is a little higher than my other Blondos, and not really sure if I like the cutout on the inner ankle side. The zipper is also kind of annoying on the back of the heel/ankle.

Returned immediately:
NYDJ Plaid Slim Trousers
So much plaid at the sale, I had to try something. I really wanted to like these: the pattern was nifty, would have looked good with my mustard-colored Boden sweater tee, but they were clingy in the wrong places, and the fabric was not what I expected.
Nike Classic Cortez Sneaker
Firewood/Orange Sail. A little too retro, they reminded me of my Dad's Nikes (although his were white with a red swoosh). A little strange on my feet.
