Here are my current selections, if the site will ever let me complete the order!
My past experience with NAS is that it's best to try a ton of stuff because it's hard to know what's going to be amazing once it shows up. Most of these items don't make my heart go pitter patter on the site, but I have seen others use them in their wardrobes to great success.
I've got 4 pairs of shoes in the cart, but they will have to be perfection when they arrive to keep any of them. I have a pair of Northface boots for snow, so the Uggs need to really knock my socks off to earn a spot. The mary janes could be the perfect dress shoe I've been dreaming of for years, or they could fall flat. Can't know unless I try! The over the knee boots I am extremely highly skeptical of, but I've wanted to try a pair on for almost 2 years. I'm taking my shot but anticipating defeat.
Last year I ordered the Kut faux suede jacket, but returned it because it was a brighter red than I anticipated and I wasn't working in the office so I didn't think it would get much wear. I'm reordering because I recall really liking the fit, and I'm back to the office now.
The sheath dress will only be kept if it makes me feel like a million bucks. I hunted for something similar last year and have a black sheath I quite like now. It's not something I need to wear often, but I'd like to have a nice, dress for business occasions where I want to step it up a notch. Vneck sheaths can be harder to find than you'd think, and I like the idea of burgundy closer to my face, instead of all black. This one will have to be an 11 to earn a spot in my closet.
The Blondos won me over by coming in gray. The last couple of years I hunted and hunted for black booties, only to acquire them and realize that black boots make my feet feel heavy and I change out of them 99% of the time before I walk out the door. Simple, dark gray booties could be winter workhorse for me, but I'm only keeping if they make my feet say ahhhh.
Plaid leggings and plaid tunic are versions of items I've admired in YLFers closets.
I've had a few Calson jackets in the past that I loved. Last years all fell short of my hopes. Maybe this one will feel like custom made butter.
The pink Nike flyknits have been a HEWI for me. I squealed when I saw them in the NAS catalog and ordered them before my coffee this morning.
