NAS List - possible purchases (update further down)

So I'm thinking of ordering a few things from NAS even though I said I wasn't going to (I'm such a "waffler"!). These items would go a long way to pumping up my fall wardrobe without completely breaking the bank. Yes, returns are crazy expensive for Nordstrom but I may be willing to risk it here.

What do you think of this list? The tops all come in petite (whoo hoo!) and the boots are Born, which I love. Would love your thoughts...

http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/bo.....sultback=0. Although these are listed as "mid calf" on my short legs, they are actually a little higher. I like the width expansion possibility as I do have thicker calves. Just a little worried that the area where the zipper is may be a bit too narrow for me? I do have Born flats and love the comfort.

Oh oh! How did this happen? The Maggie London suddenly jumped into my shopping cart!

I have no experience with any of these, but it looks like a great list! Good luck...

Rita - do you find the Maggy London dresses TTS?

rae

Ha! I have everything but the dress on my list to check out today. Did you see the boots also come in gray and brown?

It's always a gamble with the shipping. I say definitely get the top and maybe wait and see if you can get more fit info on the others?

I have no idea, I've never tried one on. I am pretty consistently a 4P, no matter what the brand.... I usually strike out if I try to go with the size charts.

The striped top = yes (because you have experience with it an know it will work).

The purple sweater = yes (I think it goes really well with your style and like you said, a pencil skirt).

I feel these items are safer bets as my hunch is they will fit.

The Maggie London dress = maybe (dress fit can be tricky unless you consistently wear the same size. I never do, I wear a pretty big range of sizes.)
The boots = maybe (same fit question)

Well I did it - kind of.

Ordered the teal/black striped Vince Camuto top, the Halogen tipped sweater blazer, the Maggy London wrap dress and suddenly, the snakeskin handbag from the list http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/el.....H8x6r8luLA also landed in my cart. I did not order the boots as I think that's a potential non-fit risk

All my summer fun money has now been exhausted and I've enjoyed every single minute of it!

Sylvie

Good luck Shannon! I hope the purchases work out for you. I can vouch for the VC top as I have it as well and it is truly well made and beautiful.

Very nice list! That purple sweater will be stunning! OMG! I just looked at the purse and almost fainted it is so beautiful!

Jem

You couldn't resist! I know, I'm tempted, too. I love that teal top, I wish I could try it on. And, I'm really tempted with that purple sweater. I should probably order because I will be sorry once I see yours. The dress will be gorgeous on you and wow!!! the purse is amazing. You are getting quite the collection of bags.

BTW, I almost bought a navy Vintage re-issue Fossil bag from Winners today. I was good, though because I didn't love it. I can't wait to see yours when you get it from Natalie.

Sunita

Shannon: Did you get the sage exotic bag or one of the other colors? I have the B/W exotic, but was sorely tempted by the solid teal!

Sylvie - good to know you're happy with the VC top! Thanks.

Meredith - you'd look fab in that purple sweater jacket you know?

Jem - nope, couldn't resist! Angie's picks are always so lovely. Fingers crossed everything fits. I'm working on getting a collection of better quality handbags and really liked this snakeskin one.

Sunita - I ordered the sage exotic one - love the soft colour. Oooohhhh....that teal is gorgeous!

Nadya

Great picks! I've enjoyed watching you plan and replan how to spend your summer fun money. I do the same thing when I get treat like that and love every obsessive minute.

Enjoy your new things!
