Here's my haul. Left it all at the store for my SA to mail me as I was running straight to a meeting. I found a lot of stuff I really liked, although I would say that I adjusted my expectations down from previous years when there were so many more designers in the sale. Of note my
Nordstrom never got lookbooks or catalogues so my SA didn't know any of the merchandise. Who and why they are making these decisions astounds me.
Most beautiful item I purchased was this
Boss suit in a petite. I'm very short waisted so finding a petite suit jacket of this quality at N is a win for me:

I also purchased this
Boss dress in a petite. I buy a Boss petite dress every year and on me this ran super small--I had to size up 1 size.

Most fun item was this
Something Navy leopard sweater. It's super soft and for something trendy the price was right:

I buy the
Veronical Beard jacket every year. I purchased the red plaid, of course. I have loved that the past ones had the zip out dickey but I guess a change is ok once in a while. It's really pretty.

My store didn't have a great selection of interesting jeans. At this point in my life I own a lot of jeans and if I'm buying premium jeans, I want something different from what's in my closet. All my store had were the standard skinnies. So I bought a pair of my current favs in that group, the
Wit and Wisdon Absolution high waist skinny jean. Always looks good on me, and makes the other clothes I'm wearing look better:

I only came home with one pair of shoes--the
Aquatalia Pasha pump in red. I LOVE block heel pumps and have been wanting some in this color range.

I bought a few darling things that I don't have the link for--the
Ted Baker knot detail WOC in black, that
J Crew leopard crew neck sweater ( mentioned earlier), the
Vince waffle turtleneck sweater from the catalogue in oatmeal, and the
ALO furry jacket in white.
I passed on many items, but most surprising was the
Coach Nomad burnished leather crossbody. My store only had the brown. Perhaps the yellow is stunning. I thought it was just meh and the leather looked and felt like it was coated in plastic. I really don't know how to describe it. It was just off.

My SA had to order the other items I wanted which she is still struggling to do. It seems that she's having as much trouble tracking stuff down as we are! I'll post anything good. Sorry again for no selfies.
