I finally got to a store to pick up my red Vans (really cute, haven't tried them on properly yet) and check out the sale - it was my first visit to the Nordstrom @ South Park mall in Charlotte. I was underwhelmed by the options in Point of View, Individualist, etc. The other side of the store, the BP/trendy/younger side, had a lot more NAS stuff. The Charlotte buyers obviously have realized that there's no point in stocking a bunch of sweaters and heavy coats in the Carolinas in mid-July, although they did have a few of both. The summer clearance area was a lot bigger and a lot more interesting to go through. In the end, although I tried on several things, the only thing that came home with me was a Wacoal bra. [The plus NAS items were literally one rack's worth. Sigh.]

I tried the Wit & Wisdom animal print jeans and they were too short on me, but I liked the worn patina and think it would be a good look for fall. The Paige skinnies looked like jeggings on me, but nice jeggings. Angie's right that this fabric has a lovely feel. If the coloring had been basic blue without the whiskering on the thighs (seriously, who in the world likes whiskering on the thighs???) I might have bought them. If anyone's looking for a nice woven wrap dress, I recommend this Halogen one - I suspect it would be a really great trans-seasonal piece.

ETA: forgot to say that this morning when I saw the Born loafers were back in stock, I ordered them online along with the wrap top and another bra. Then I saw the wrap top fabric in another piece in store and boy, is it thin and see-through. That piece will probably need to be returned.
