I had the same impression as Suntiger and Jaime.

I know I said I don't need any coats, but I am very tempted by this one.

here's the link - finds aren't working for me at the moment.

I’m not sure I’m ready to think about fall yet. But overall I’m thinking about elevated joggers, sweaters or sweatshirts that layer over other pieces ( so I can turn the temperate down this winter), and replacement bras. But this is what I’m tempted buy

I'm in quarantine and wasn't up for much yesterday - thoroughly enjoyed browsing the preview and filling up my wishlist it was the perfect low energy activity for me I hope maybe adding things to my wishlist gives some signal to add inventory so things don't sell out so quickly?

There were lot of items that made me wish I had a less casual lifestyle and a reason to try them on. I loved a lot of the colors, so many jewel tones, especially teal and burgundy, two of my favorites.

Themes from my actual wishlist:

- pendant & mutli strand necklaces: I've been on the lookout for both of these for a while as I feel they would both be workhorses when I dress up for performances and there were a few contenders

- refresh undergarments and pjs, and maybe sneakers and "house" clogs

- I have my eye on several tops but I'm not optimistic given none of them are petite. That would be my biggest frustration with the NAS, once again the lack of petite options.

Honestly I've done so well at NASs in the past few years for I feel like there's nothing I really need, except maybe a bra or two and to replace some threadbare pjs...

I just finished going through the preview. I will buy bras and undies, as I usually do. I'm in the mood for a blazer with a boyfriend feel, if I can find the right one. I tend to feel out of place in blazers, but I think there may be one out there for me that would make me feel relaxed enough and hip. I've put a bunch of items on my wishlist just so I can find them again.

[I can no longer collect items for Finds. I can't figure out what I've done, but the collector keeps saying I need to log in to YLF, and I already am. I will just collect other people's Finds until I get it figured out.]

Jaime and others, items are not sold out. It's a bug in the system that defaults the item to "sold out" before the sale is live, IYKWIM

Ah, NAS! I really don't need anything, but I always check just in case.

Being used to the eclectic NAS mix we tend to be faced with every year, only a little of which gets through my style filter, and crossed with my perpetual fit challenges being a petite hourglass with bust and butt (often, these point to 3 different sizes on charts), I've learned to comb through and target what can work pretty quickly.

I was surprised that I ended up with about 10 items I'm interested to try:

  • burgundy dress and shoes
  • couple of colors of suede mini skirt (on me they don't read as short, haha)
  • an embroidered blouse in my BFF dark gray
  • a buffalo plaid scarf
  • kkards's coat (hope the sleeves aren't ridic long)
  • Kut from the Kloth cropped flare jeans (in petite?? :O -- we're usually left out of premium-y brands)
  • a white blouse, when I don't wear white blouses!

That last item is because it echoes one that I loved in high school that my mom lost, so I'm giving it a chance.

Surveying my wish list, I'm quite looking forward to checking these out!

I get to go to an in-person shop event that I hope will be fun, though of course I have no idea if my items/sizes will actually be available on site. Should be interesting in any case!

Random fashion comment: I noticed that leather (and "leather") skirts seemed to be trending.

Tanya, I also have the off-white Dalby Moto jacket on my list to try. I have it in black and I love it! It's very refined for a Moto jacket (if that makes sense). It's not super edgy, which I like.

I bet that purple Hugo Boss leather jacket will be beautiful on you.

From my original list, before the actual NAS items came online-most items I’m looking for are not included.

I should have been more specific. There are tie and zip mesh sneakers that fit my description but I need shoes or boots that work in winter, I still will try them for transitional weather.

There are some dresses, but without the boots? I may try a few.

I love hearts so the black and white fleece jacket makes me smile. But I may have to pass due to the 1% wool.

There are several white and off white toppers I may try.

Some Eileen Fisher tops and a skirt I may try. I’m not sure I will like the material. I may go to the EF store to see if I can find the material. I’m not that interested in the colors but the right navy skirt has been a HEWI for me. I also will check other places because I might find more colorful EF tops in my colors on sale at similar prices.

All my purses have been dark for years but tomorrow I will be next door to a Nordstrom so I plan to try out some other colors to see if I can move my brain to JFE. I’d rather not order and return a purse for that reason. Also I tend to put purses on the floor, etc. so I’m not convinced a light color is the wisest choice. I may check out lipstick colors also.

There is nothing in jewelry in silver in my price range that excites me, but I will probably look in person during the sale.

Somehow I am sure that I will manage to spend some money anyway. Lol.

Having everything online is handy but I will miss the excitement of the unexpected find.

My fall/winter wardrobe needs a pretty serious overhaul:

* Black ankle boots.
* tunics and sweaters.
* Vests for outer wear.
* Boho and boho-lite ppatterned blouses (yes, I know that's more of a Spring item)
* Smart casual bottoms for going to the symphony and other dressier but not totally formal occasions.. (Pro Tip: Harem pants do not work in theatre seating,. When one jumps up to give a standing ovation and the seat folds back, the crotch of one's harem pants often get caught and one feels more than a little silly.)

Thank you all for continuing to share your thoughts and items! It is an excellent way to discover items one has overlooked on their own.

Greyscale......Love that Vince jacket. Really looks versatile and edgy in a subtle sort of way. If you go for it please make sure you share some pix.

It looks like everyone wants the same turquoise blouse. It’s gorgeous!

I'm not in need of much, but of course, it's fun to look and shop. The finds are things I'm considering.

I love the look of the dress, but so many have the band across too high for where my waist sits. Also, I love the idea of a matching top and skirt, but wonder if the skirt is too thin to be flattering. And my friend has this flip flop she recommends, so I'm interested in trying them. But mostly, I'd love to find a straighter pair of Wit jeans. I'd prefer full length, but sometimes a bit cropped works well with the various boots I've already got in the wardrobe. I'm probably going to stick with that brand on the jeans because I have had past success with them. I'd be happy to come out of NAS with a pair jeans and a pair of flip flops.

Diana - looks like Angie already made a find for that coat. Here it is.

Oh perfect, thank you! And thanks to Angie too for making the find!

I tend to underbuy on tops, so am always looking for those. I am not usually drawn to embroidery, but the T&B one caught my eye, and I was intrigued by the puff sleeve of the Rebecca Taylor one.

I’m still looking for a replacement wool coat and a puffer. It was nice to see Fleurette at the sale. If my local store has those, the Lafayette green jackets, and the Theory one, I’m going to try them on.

The Vince booties are a need, since my other black booties are worn out. I own the hat in pink/mauve, and wear it so often that I’ve been considering a second one. And the scarf could be a nice addition.

(On my phone, so apologies for not using finds.)

I’m all about jeans right now. I’m looking at whatever has long enough inseam lengths and will probably try them.

Delurked, I love Wit and wisdom jeans too. They fit so good!

Delurked- thanks so much!!

I just did some closet editing and decided to start weeding out grey from my wardrobe. My dark neutrals used to be black and brown but ten years or more ago brown became impossible to find, especially in plus sizes, which mostly offered black and gray. I’ve been adding brown and olive, my preferred dark neutrals, as they’ve been more available. My goal this year is to focus on adding essentials or statement pieces in my preferred color palette, which includes black, brown, white, cream, olive, mustard, burgundy, blush, turquoise and teal. It doesn’t necessarily fall neatly into one of the seasons but it seems to work for me.

Thank you, Laura, for posting the olive skirt! I bought this in black last year and like so I’m excited about this color and hadn’t seen it when I was looking at the preview.


I’m intrigued by the florals but super picky about patterns so I figure it’s about a ten percent chance one of these comes home with me, but it’s good to try new things.

Here are some things I’m excited to try. Of all of them the suit is what I’m most looking forward to with fingers crossed!

OOOH! Love seeing what is of interest to everyone. Wildly different and focused on our personal styles. Excellent!

Delurked, thank you - and it's a pleasure, Diana!

I popped what tickles my fancy on a separate thread:

.....and for completeness sake, will post here too!

Angie, I had that red checked Bernardo coat on my list because I love it but had to finally admit it doesn’t fit my in wardrobe. I could totally see you in it, though!

HAH, Nadya! Thanks. Maybe we'll be coat twins after all

i have newly seen these, which are causing me some heart eyes. it also shows how the photography of the same item can skew perspective of boot height a bit.

Today I've talked myself out of the Nic + Zoe sweater and skirt and the dress. I think the dress is a low chance of success, and the sweater and skirt are likely too warm for my needs. I will be curious to see if I change my mind back (assuming they are even in stock to try).

There's a lot on my wishlist that I doubt I will even order, but here's what's caught my eye:

Outerwear
I always struggle with matching outerwear to the outfit. There are about a million combinations of exact weather with outfit silhouette, colors, and vibe for the day. So I'm always looking for, and occasionally find, just the right piece to fits a specific slot.

- The cognac suede jackets might work with both jeans and dresses. I love that the AllSaints piece is truly short enough for my waist (18" back length), so it might work with full-skirt dresses. But it's also way more than I've ever spent even for a workhorse coat. The Treasure & Bond jacket is a critical several inches longer but is more budget friendly.

- I'm curious about Barbour pieces, as a heritage British brand. And white is becoming my winter neutral of choice. It probably will be too blocky, though.

Tops
The last couple years I've been building up my pretty top collection, for wear with winter fitted skirts or jeans. Polo collars are flattering on me, and the cropped lengths might play nicely with skirts even without tucking. The Treasure & Bond puff sleeve is an outlier but just might work tucked in, if it's not too puffy under the arms.

Dresses
The two dresses are long shots. The teal Eliza J is likely too short on me and the Julia Jordan isn't my best print; but sometimes I just love a dress when it's on, so I'll likely try them.

Hats, and a Bag I won't buy
I wear hats regularly for my work walk breaks. My favorite is a blue mesh-type that's very similar to the pink packable one; it's stiff so doesn't flap in the wind but breezier than a straw. The pink would go with more outfits! And I have a brown felt for winter but wouldn't mind another. I'm picky about hats, so I may not end up keeping either, but will try them.

The malachite acrylic bag is simply adorable. It looks so fun and vintage, like marbled lucite. I would hardly ever use it and can't begin to justify the cost, but it's cute and I'm putting it on the wishlist anyway.
