I really tried with this year's NAS but just wasn't all that impressed. I kept gravitating to items and then realizing they weren't part of the sale.
I came home with a few items, most of which are going back after further reflection, including this Trina Turk dress (http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/tr.....sultback=0) and this Burberry jacket in black (http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/bu.....ltback=157).
The main reason for the returns is that I'm seeing fall items at other retailers that make my heart go pitter patter and I know THAT is where my money should be going.
Like this dress (for work and play) instead of the Trina Turk one:

Or this one:

And then there's pretty much everything in the most recent J. Crew catalog, including:
-The serge pencil skirt I already have (and love) in gold now in a rainbow of fresh fall colors (http://www.jcrew.com/womens_fe...../47314.jsp)
-These wool capris that I can dress up to make office appropriate--loving the dahlia, in particular (http://www.jcrew.com/womens_fe...../49398.jsp)
-The oodles of fabulously bright cashmere
-A new take on loafers (http://www.jcrew.com/womens_fe...../49158.jsp)
Well, you get the idea. Eye candy everywhere! So for now, I'm assembling my NAS returns and finalizing decisions about what I really want for the fall. Anyone else feeling less than smitten with NAS? And/or finding fab items elsewhere?
