I've made a couple of trips back to Nordstrom in the last week, for returns.

Here's what I returned or exchanged:

T3 Afar hairdryer. Returned. I thought it would be good for travel. Although it does not come with a diffuser, there is one available to fit it. When the dryer arrived, I realized that even though it folds, making it a handy size to pack, it is no smaller or lighter than my current dryer, which I like and works well.

Simple Human Tabletop Mirror. Returned. The purchase was inspired by similar mirrors I've used at hotels. This one has only a magnifying side--no flip to a regular mirror, which is what I'd rather have. After seeing this one, I also think I'd rather have something that mounts on the wall and pulls out, and I don't think the light is that crucial, since the lighting in my bathroom is good. If you're considering this kind of mirror, I would also caution that I couldn't figure out how to turn off the auto-on feature, which made the mirror light come on when we'd walk into the bathroom in the middle of the night (and not to do our makeup!).

Natori Feathers and Bliss Perfection bras. Exchanged. I had a fitting, but after I wore the bras for three days, I decided they weren't working. They were too tight in the cup and quite uncomfortable. I went back to the SA who had fitted me. She agreed the cup size was wrong, and said it was her fault; she had not looked carefully enough at the fit. I was able to return them with no problem, even the ones I had worn, and I bought the same styles in a different size. I think we've got it right now.

Zella Racerback Seamless sports bra. Exchanged. I ordered the size I have in this style from a few years ago, and I thought I could size down. I went to the store to try it in person and exchanged for the smaller size, plus bought two more. I like that this new version has a cup lining with openings where you can insert pads if you want to.

Rag & Bone Featherweight Logan jeans in brown/plum (not NAS). Returned. The size down that I ordered arrived, and I don't like the style on me enough to keep them, especially at full price. But even if they were marked down, I just don't love them (except for the color and fabric--LOL!).

Comparing them to the Rag & Bone Harlow jeans I got on NAS--and am happily keeping!--it's very clear how much better I like the narrower style of the Harlow. I'm currently thinking I'll keep the Levi's 501s I got on NAS, too. Ive gone back and forth about them, but my full-length Levi's 501s in black are some of my most-worn jeans through the winter. I reach for them all the time, because they are comfortable and full-length.

What I wore for return shopping:
pics 1-2: It was cool enough to wear my new Zella 3-in-1 Trench coat from NAS (without the insulated vest liner)! Also light wash straight jeans (Levi's 555 men's, baby blue), olive short-sleeved t-shirt (AllSaints), olive cotton dimensional-stitched collared cardigan (Margaret O'Leary, Marley), olive loafer-clogs (Dansko), blanket-print bag in blush, cream, and olive (made by me), olive stone necklace (Designs by Sonia), silver and brass earrings (Marjorie Baer).

pic 3: my summer uniform! Black cutoff jorts (We the Free, Jam Session Capri Jeans); patterned sleeveless tee in cream, blush, black, and gray (made by me); ivory and black pinstripe linen blazer (Evereve, Taylor), cream and neutral snake print sneakers (Cole Haan, GrandPro Topspin), cream cross-body bag (Minor History), gold and silvertone hexagon hoops earrings with chain (AllSaints, Hexagon Swag Hoop), mixed metal bead necklace (AllSaints).

I'm definitely on Team Wear! NAS coat, earrings, and bras, plus the Margaret O'Leary cardigan, which I got last week, too, using my birthday discount from them.
