NAS 2017

Angie

Hi all,

We've opened up the NAS section of the site because it's that time of year - AGAIN.

Preselections start 8.30am sharp on Wednesday 12th July. I will be working round the clock with clients until 21st July. HECTIC is an understatement. But I enjoy every minute of it. My favourite sale of the year, and a Seattle highlight.

I'll check in and help with questions when I can over the next few weeks. My response will not be immediate - but I WILL get to all the questions. I always do!

Good hunting, and have fun. xo

Have fun, Angie -- get good rest when you can! I know it's a crazy time. I hope your birthday weekend was a lovely calm before the whirlwind!

I hope you enjoy the process, Angie, and that you manage to get some rest, too. I am looking forward to your input and recommendations. Happy hunt, everyone!

You're amazingly supportive of the forum when you're so busy in real life. Do you get enough sleep during NAS or are you running on tea and cake?

Also, are NAS links still affiliate links? I want to try to go through YLF if it makes a difference.

Never understood shopping for winter in summer concept, but it's good it keeps you employed Angie.

Thanks for the kind words, ladies. ((HUGS)).

Beth & Style Fan, YES. If you click through to Nordstrom FROM YLF, the affiliate link will be activated. If you click straight through to Nordstrom from your browser - it won't. Thanks for being supportive and thoughtful.

No rest for the wicked. But there will be LOTS of tea and cake.

It's exciting, even though I'm not planning major shopping this year. And what Beth said!

Oh my goodness! I knew it was coming, but still it's a shock! Lol. I have NO IDEA about what's what this year I'm fashion.

This year I'll be able to shop NAS in person as there are 2 Nordstroms close to me in Toronto, Canada.

I'll be on vacation, I'll cheer you all on from the side if I can find internet access.
Wish you thriving business and great finds for you and your clients.

Anxious to learn what's going to be popular for the coming F/W season. Like Kerry, I'm hoping to pop into a Nordstroms in person.

My question was same as Beth and Style Fan. So glad to see the answer. I most definitely will be going through YLF! Know everybody else on this forum who is shopping NAS will also. The same even if it's not NAS when I shop Nordies.

Enjoy the tea and cake anytime you can get a few minutes break. You have more than earned it.

Thanks, Angie! I look forward to your sale recommendations, and I hope that you have a great time with clients (I wish I could be one)!

Joy

Thank you, Angie. I really appreciate your picks and hints at fit and body type , although it must be an awful lot of work for you. I hope to find a great sweater dress in a color and need hints as to what types of items are best to add for a closet update for fall/winter.

I'd love to see you in action, Angie! I hope you and your clients have great success!

I will be eagerly awaiting your picks as your recommendations are often winners for me. Plus the fit tips are always helpful.

Yippee! Can't wait for your summary and favorites, Angie! Let the games begin!!!!

Oh, yes, Susie, I'm eager to read Angie's recs!

I popped by my local Nordie's and they were all set up, tents and all. This is the one time of year when I wish I had a Nordie's card, but I would so get into trouble with that so I make myself wait every year until the sale is open to the public. I cannot wait to see what's for sale this year!

kerry

Angie, when do you find the time to shop the sale yourself? How long ago did you start to assess your fall/winter wardrobe to decide what you might like to find at the sale? Do you do appointments with your clients before the sale at their homes to assess their F/W wardrobes?

Too late in the game now but next year it'd be neat if you could walk us through how you (or a client) prepares to shop the sale.

What portion of your fall/winter wardrobe refresh do you do at the sale? Do you ever return anything after the season is in full swing?

Looking forward to everyone's picks!

Great idea, Kerry!

Yipes, that's tomorrow. I didn't see much in the catalogue, but I have faith that I'll find some good stuff.
