Hello.

While I did set aside a heavy portion of my NAS budget to Zella items this year, I did order some other pieces too.

Here are a couple of sweaters from Angie's Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Top 40 post.

1. Rails Zoey Star Intarsia Cotton Blend Sweater

I'm sensitive to acrylic so when I first saw this sweater and noted it had acrylic in it I passed it by. Then I saw Angie's recommendation that it felt good against the skin and decided to give it a try. I adore this sweater, thanks for the recommendation Angie. Underneath this sweater I'm wearing the Halogen LS T I put in the finds. I like these because they are soft and form fitting, which works perfectly under sweaters for a little extra warmth.

2. Rails Sweater with Zella Pink Violet Vest

I apparently have an obsession with Pink Violet from Zella this NAS, and I just knew I had to try the sweater with the vest. I adore this outfit.

3. Vince Baja Pointelle Sweater in White

I like Vince because their quality is usually very good. This sweater was another Angie pick and it is divine. A nice weight and you really don't need a bra underneath despite the pointelle design. The fact that this is mostly cotton (and therefore soft) is another plus. I do have the next size up on order, but it's still not here yet. This is the size Small.

4. Cindy High Waist Ankle Straight Leg Jeans

These are the jeans in every photo. I only tried one pair of jeans this year for NAS, and that was the Cindy from Paige. I own two pairs of Cindy's already and I wasn't surprised when these fit. I really like Paige denim because the pocket placement is perfect on my backside. Some brands (like Gap) the pockets are too big on me. These jeans are a great example of why I also enjoy the crop trend right now. If you compare the fit on me to the model it is

a bit different. On a taller gal they would be ankle length, but on 5'3" me, they are full length. Yay for no hemming! I know reviews say these ran small, but I took my usual size in Paige denim.

5. Marc Fisher LTD Floria Bootie in Black

These are the boots in every photo. As with the jeans, I only tried one pair of booties from NAS (actually these are the only pair of footwear at all that I ordered). I picked these to replace a pair of Franco Sarto's with a similar heel and height that were a disappointment. The sole on those peeled away from the boot in less than a year. I've waited 2 years to find these because last year's NAS was a bust for me for black booties. I hope this brand holds up better than my last pair. I took my usual shoe size in these.

Thanks for looking!
