It's taken a while for everything to come in, but I figured I'd start reviewing in case it enables anyone who is on the fence. Even though so much is OOS now, maybe the reviews are helpful if things come back in stock, as I've seen recently on some of the things I want to exchange. My initial NAS purchases were extremely practical/kindof boring - PJ's, sweater, skin care products, leggings. But as the sale has gone on I've gotten a bit bolder. Lot of things still in transit, it's a bit of a mystery guessing what will come when. I'm usually a petite L fwiw.
The find pictures have a lot of black and grey n them, but mostly I didn't buy black, there were some pretty options and I went lighter one sweaters than I usually do, the stain risk having decreased as my kids are getting older
Thanks Angie for all your lists and for everyone's reports. Even though it's not like years past, I enjoy the camaraderie around the sale this board always has.
Wins
forum fav Zella's 7/8 leggings: I've been gradually replacing all my workout leggings with these due to the pockets and high waist. Really love the purple color.
Bobbi brown mini lipstick: I haven't normally had luck buying lipstick online, so I shouldn't have even bought these but I'm happy I did. Both shades have been winners. they are mini, but def not samples, I'll get a lot of use out of them.
Nordstrom Throw: I bought this in a fit of rage one saturday morning when I had to break up a fight over the couch blanket. At $25, I could buy one for each kid. They are really soft and getting a lot of love, but I don't know how well they'll wash over time. Bought in beige which seems sold out atm.
N&Z four way cardigan: ok, not technically a NAS, but was on sale and I've always been curious about them. The fabric weight is lovely, as is the color, although it's just shade unexpected. I've only tried 3 ways so far the V neck is too deep to wear on it's own.
Returning
Kendra Scott earrings: I've had good luck with workhorse jewelry from KS during past NAS but these didn't do it for me.
Zella joggers: these fit well, but I didn't find the fabric to feel soft enough to be considered loungeworthy, although they'd be fine for working out. Keeping watch for the Sweaty betty equivalents to go on sale and pick up another pair of those.
Kork Ease slides: Pretty, but too loose on the band - but this may just be me not being comfortable with the style than a critique of the shoe itself.
WIP
Nordstrom PJs' and nightgown: Across the board I was swimming in these, will exchange if they come back in stock.
Barefoot dreams cardigans: The first one (ultra lite) I got was too big, the belted one was a 50% deal one day, but are still in transit, as is the next size down in the ultra lite which I snagged today.
Vince Camuto skirt:mostly these have been oos in sizes that might work for me since the first day I was able to shop, but I was able to buy today. I bought black and the polka dots.
Zella Hoodie: Still in transit, but my fingers are crossed on this one to replace my company branded hoodie I vowed to retire.
N&Z Déjà Vu Print Sleeveless Top: I had skipped this originally when it was on Angie's list with a 'when will I wear it with the office closed indefinitely' thought bubble, but after seeing the positive reviews here decided to nab it yesterday when my size came back in stock. Despite a pretty casual work env I do have to look pulled together on occasion on video and it seems like it could be a good top for that and have a bit of an interesting look to it to boot.
N&Z striped top: not NAS, not even on sale!, but when I saw it it looked like a perfect option for fall/winter remote work.
