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.

Everyone says to size up in the Rails shirts, but I have always bought my normal size and they fit great. I'm not busty by any means though, so maybe more well endowed ladies need to size up. I've always hand washed mine specifically so they don't shrink, but if you want yours a little smaller, throwing it in the wash might help. I'd consider putting it in a laundry bag or on the delicate cycle though, just so the material doesn't rub against other clothes as much.

My prada sunglasses are out for delivery. I got them because I thought they would be a nice simple sunglasses compared to the Burberry aviators I also bought. I thought my bf would hate them because idk he hates most items I show him, he is picky but he actually said they looked nice and simple so now we have to see if they fit my face nicely(oh he hates cat eye sunglasses normally that’s why I was shocked he liked these). I’ve always been super picky about sunglasses which is why I own none and I was young and dumb so I didn’t realize the value in owning a pair or two until I sat in the front seat of a car with light purging my eyes even with the shade covers. I’m going to be able to see so much of the world with these! Lol
This is pair I’m getting today after work (mail shows up right after I get off work :biggrin:) https://www.nordstrom.com/s/prada-53mm-cat-eye-sunglasses/5441783

Oh! I guess this ended up being out for delivery too today! https://www.nordstrom.com/s/treasure-bond-mixed-plaid-blazer-jacket/5867233
It’s kinda funky I’m nervous about it but I had to try it.

I like those Prada sunglasses a lot. They don't seem very "cat-eye" though, so I'm surprised by the name. I think they are very classic and will be a great long-term pair to have.

I only placed one medium sized order on Friday 16th 3am. Took a long while with things going in and out of stock which was a bit aggravating as people who placed orders after me were getting items before me, but I resisted the temptation to reorder and so far, everything has either been delivered or is in transit. I am going to wait to do a second order before the end of the sale and I can assess what I am keeping/returning.

I found that I was so caught up in getting things last year and a lot of them were back in stock over August/September/October, many with even cheaper prices. Also, I found that I did not use a lot of what I bought! So I'm ordering less and if something I want runs out I will either get it later or go without. Less stress and less money.

That is a really good point, I think because this is my first anniversary sale I’m spending a tad too much but find it all really fun while I know some think it’s a bit too boring I appreciate the basics offered and look forward to filling out my wardrobe I have only two pairs of shoes I wear normally so I bought a couple and hoping some basic bodysuits come back in stock.

Anyone get the BFD CozyChic drape rib cardigan that ties? On the fence about this one & wondering about the quality.
Click to expand...

One of my few purchases, I can honestly say it’s really nice and the quality is the same as if you ordered directly from BFD. My only word of caution would be to consider your height. I’m only 5’ and the sleeves and length of the garment run long. For me, I have to pull up the sleeves and it looks much better untied on my short body. If your petite there are better choices. I bought it because I needed something to lounge around the house in and selection was very limited in my store. After reading ordering/shipping nightmares I not going to be ordering anything. If you are taller it’s not going to be an issue. The Carbon color is great with black leggings and a cami underneath which is my usual go to as soon as I return from work.

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

Well I agree it’s not Fluerette quality, but I love the cut. I’m still deciding on the color. I feel I might want it to be a bit warmer in color. We shall see. I‘m waiting for my husband to get up so I can go play around a bit. But I have a nail appointment in an hour so it might not be till later this afternoon.

Thanks for the bag suggestion. I have seen some used Rails shirts with very worn looking fabric on eBay, so hopefully that would prevent that. I just ordered a 4 pack of bra bags on Amazon so all my new Natori bras from the sale can keep looking pretty, so I think I will order some larger bags for this shirt and my Johnny Was shirts.

Anyone buy this NAS Eric Javits hat? 3 times tried to buy it in blush and antique, twice cancelled each and now the blush finally shipped. Antique is still getting ready (likely will cancel.....again).

It is true that you need to keep watching and make multiple orders.

I purchased the Eric Javits hat in blush at last years NAS - and I had to “stalk” it - getting it finally sent to me about three weeks in to the sale — I saw this hat yesterday at Nordies and was drawn to it immediately until I realized I really didn’t need another hat- lol

Size up if you are busty for sure otherwise I think it is true to size.
