got my delivery today and love the sunglasses! Good coverage, wide enough fit for my slightly wider than normal noggin, and feel substantial without being too heavy. I try not to spend too much on sunglasses ((20-50) because I have a tendency to lose them but I’ve been good for last several years so decided to splurge as this is exactly my style

Sized up on this Rails shirt to an XL and tried it on over my clothes and even then it was big. Will it shrink a bit when I wash it? I was going to wash it on cold and hang to dry since I don’t want it to shrink too much, but I am hoping it might come down a size. I love the fabric.

I purchased one last year in the White/Peony color in my true size. It can shrink slightly at first, but I usually wash in cold water or delicate and tumble dry low. Still fits great!

Lol it knew I was talking about it...it just shipped within 5 minutes of posting this. Now I’ll have 2. Great. What sick clown is running this show.

I am wondering the same thing...what clown is running this show? I did what you did, but with the Almond shower oil. That said both of mine have not shipped (although not cancelled...yet). I can't figure out why things seem to be stuck in "getting ready" status for days. In the past, I've tried expedited shipping, but that doesn't always work. I've tried calling them and sometimes, even tho the CS rep says she can't do anything, an hour after that call my item gets shipped. I've watched items from over a week ago sit in getting ready status and then slowly, one by one get cancelled. And then you have to decide if you want to play the stalking game, which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason to how things ship. Or if there is I haven't been able to figure it out.

Yesterday was the first time I have stepped into a store since the pandemic began. I have been too busy with work and my priorities shifted. It’s really easy to get caught up in the hype. We start talking about the preview and sale well in advance and they fill my inbox with very tempting items. I was really looking forward to seeing merchandise in person. My local store at Pentagon City isn’t very well stocked in a normal year much less in this post pandemic world. I have been shopping this sale at this location every year for as long as I can remember. There have been lots of changes. I agree with another’s comment about being short staffed due to labor shortage. With everything going on I think most industries are facing multiple struggles. I do miss the days when they had really special items at great prices.

I’m lucky enough to live in an area with tons of boutiques walking distance from my home. Many of them like Free People, Tory Burch, Barbour, Madewell just to name a few, are always offering sales and have excellent customer service so there is no logical reason I should be tempted by the NAS. I think it represents normalcy as this something I have participated in for so many years.

This is true for me as well. I shop this sale because I have for years and it feels normal in a world that can feel out of sorts. I don't live near a lot of department stores (the nearest Nordstrom is 60 miles away) or boutiques, but I have Shoprunner which gives me free two-day shipping and free returns to a lot of stores like Saks, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales, and some of the boutiques like Vince and Tory Burch. But I still like this sale and sometimes I do get caught in the hype and buy things that I wonder after I bought them what was I thinking? (I don't do studded and pointed heels. Ever.) And I love the comments on this forum. They're helpful and informative and sometimes just out right funny. So I'll probably continue to shop the NAS in some form because it still is kind of fun and sometimes kind of wacky.

Anyone get the BFD CozyChic drape rib cardigan that ties? On the fence about this one & wondering about the quality.
Click to expand...
I got this last year when they ran it as one of the daily deals. The quality was the same on that one and I loved the concept of it, but the tie was too high for me. It was right on the rib cage (you an see it's a pretty high tie on the model), and you can't adjust it because its sewn in. I wore it last year mostly tied behind and a couple of weeks ago finally cut the tie out so I could still get some use out of the sweater.

Edited to say: After looking at last years listing it says the belt was removable (it wasn't) and this years is attached. So who knows, but quality was as good as years past.

Curiously watching to see what happens with the Gorjana necklace (that doesn't even seem fancy or special but I wanted a long simple necklace) that they have cancelled on me twice since last Friday. My third try of this necklace is still getting ready and it currently shows in stock. Also, a mens Nordstrom white dress shirt that didn't ship with the original order, cancelled finally yesterday and was available when I received the cancellation. I repurchased, fully expect it to cancel.

Still waiting on my bilberry Longchamp toiletry bag that I ordered last Friday at midnight to ship. It’s been stuck in “getting ready” status since then. A navy popped back in stock this morning so I grabbed it in hopes that I will receive at least one of them. Managed to get the BFD dog sweater in a Large and that shipped so hopefully my boy will finally have his new fall sweater.

Too bad when you order a lot though you don’t get it all together but instead shipped individually or atleast every item I’ve bought that has been shipped is sent individually. Honestly though I can’t imagine how stressful this event is with the influx of orders and etc. like im not gonna be happy if my order is messed up but at the same time I do understand it can be very hectic probably plus if they get paid minimum wage I no doubt expect errors or people to not really care when packaging. I haven’t ordered from Nordstrom before though because I always thought it was too expensive and as a 21 year old im kinda low budget or at least I need to be but you know, I like stuff and it’s always expensive stuff. So anyways a few of my items have shipped but none of the stuff that goes out of stock fast so fingers still crossed I get those items. I gotta full work week next week though so if it comes then sadly won’t be able to return the items right away.

Nordstrom pays above minimum wage. When I worked from home for them (for .com), I made $6 more (hourly) than my state's minimum wage (which is higher than federal). The employees at my local store had told me (back then) that they made around the same amount (starting wage). I will say that anniversary is the most stressful time of year regardless of where they work (stores, .com, fulfillment centers). They aren't allowed to take days off during that timeframe and can work extended hours. .Com employees get monitored on calls and are told they should be on a call for xx minutes (can't recall how many). They monitor and score a certain amount of calls per employee per month no matter what time of year it is. If someone works the chat or e-mail team, their interactions are monitored and scored as well. That adds to the stress of anniversary since they take in a lot more contacts.

After seeing my local store short staffed for the first time this year, I am sure they are more stressed and overworked than normal. I went to three different counters trying to find where I could purchase something. One person was on the phone, other counter was empty and a stock person came over to direct me elsewhere, then the only counter I could find someone at was marked as returns. I saw that numerous counters downstairs were empty as well. I used the curbside pickup on another day and they were pretty quick. I was given a scratcher and won a $10 gift card so went in. The person at the first counter said they could not help me so I was directed upstairs to the returns counter. In the past, Nordstrom has always wanted a customer to be able to do what they needed at any point of contact (hence why you could do returns at any counter and not just the one marked as returns) but now it seems that they aren't following that. Returns also used to be downstairs at a counter that was not marked but looked like customer service. Now returns are upstairs next to the BOPUS (buy online pick up in store) counter. That was a first for this year. Not sure how other stores are.

OMG the Reiss coat arrived and I don‘t hate it. :shocked: I mean I don’t love it yet either. I want to get the wrinkles out and see how I like it when I’m dressed. I bought an eight and it fits. I’m regularly a 10, or a 12. I have a 12 ready to arrive on Tuesday. I’m wondering if I’ll like the fit of the 12 better. Hmmmm.

Oh im so glad you like it!!! I think for me I had certain expectations (clearly too high of expectations lol).
