So much for following a "needs" list....or for not shopping for the things I said I wouldn't be shopping for! Instead, I just went with what caught my eye, either while searching the site or seeing it here, and I ended up ordering a ton of pieces, across almost all categories- pants, tops, sweaters, jeans, jackets etc. And with more than 1 size in some of them, the total number is crazy. But hey, NAS + free shipping/returns + no tax = let's try it all!!

I am expecting delivery of the first order today. I am sure that many pieces will be eliminated due to fit and I anticipate that some will be disappointing in terms of fabric/quality, especially those at the lower price points. I have become pretty picky so if I don't love something, back it goes. And Nordstrom hasn't cut me off yet

I was a bit disappointed in the shoe/boots and handbag selections. I did order the AGL studded ballet flat (definitely a different style for me but appealing nevertheless) and the Gentle Souls sneakers, but those in black rather than the red in the find. I recently got a hobo style bag in a great shade of burgundy so that might be my only bag addition for fall.

I've included in finds some of the pieces I am trying. The Halogen floral sweater I ordered in the ivory and the Trouve tunic in red, rather than the colors pictured. I don't have the find for it but my splurge sweater is one from Lafayette that I included a picture of because I can't find it on the site now. In the past, their sweaters have been workhorses for me so worth a try.

I also ordered 2 Michael Kors trench coats, one in red and one in burgundy. I could use a new rain coat and those both came in petite- and they aren't black!

Hopefully things do arrive today so I can take time this weekend for the try on/decide on process. I will post an update with keepers/rejects.
