Honestly, I saw this bag in person (And hadn’t known about it or seen it online)…. There was a clutch and also a bigger bowler bag. My friend and I said “YIKES” simultaneously as they came into view.
Then of course I immediately felt terrible for being so judgey and vocal about it right there in the purse section (ugh, what if someone liked it and heard me and I made them second guess?? I’d feel terrible…. Plus I am well aware that I make many fashion decisions that others consider quite questionable…). Anyways, I’m even hesitant to admit to this here, for fear of bumming someone out who really likes it (including you), but it really stood out as “not good” to me. The colors, the stripe size, all the aspects together just did not feel thoughtful and did not work for me.

If you love the look though, I do feel like this brand is usually really nice quality… especially for the price.

I also feel very strongly that if something is calling to you AND it’s bizarre/crazy/yikes according to most other people, then you are exactly who should buy it and adore it and own The sh-t out of it :tup:

I'm not bummed out at all. The feedback is very helpful, especially from someone who saw it in person. I decided that the bag wouldn't be practical for me and is too colorful for my style.

I have finally received all my orders, like many others my biggest frustration this year is the long time between cancellation and ordering. One shirt and a pair of Monica V earrings cancelled after a week and when I went to look they were in stock. Just annoyed and did not try to order again.

The earrings I really wanted because I’ve been looking for a nice piece of turquoise jewelry to wear to my cousins wedding in a few weeks (fingers crossed with everything going on with COVID). Will pop nicely against my pink dress and I’m so excited to attend an event! So when the sale opened to public this turquoise ring popped out at me, I’m going to wear it as a pinky ring. Fully thought it would just be cancelled after the earrings saga and I kid you not an hour later it shipped and I had it the next day lol! I live right outside NYC and sometimes get shipments from the flagship, which is what happened here, but it made me laugh. Knew the ladies of tpf would find it amusing. Finally a good shipping experience! Love the ring, recommend!

I also got these dresses from Good American and Club Monaco. Really like both of them. For the GA dress it’s a thick substantial material that is great for F/W - I did not find the waist tie bulky if you tie it the right way, a simple knot makes it too bulky for sure. Club Monaco dress will be a work staple in all seasons with the right blazers, and whenever I may go back to work in the office hah.

for returns - the Paige bootcut jeans just did me no favors. They’re sold out online so some sizes will be coming back soon

All my Natori bras, BFD blankets and Britt items have been good as well. I’m on a two week beach vacation with my family (so grateful to be spending time with my little ones, husband and healthy parents - it’s just been a wearing 18 months), so likely won’t try to order any last minute things until the last day of the sale. Right now I have my eyes on these two items, anyone get them? I feel like the sweater will sell out by then but oh well. For the shoes, I have similar slip ons like this from target in two colors and are obsessed with them, so I’m fine with these shoes being synthetic and I like the fur detail. Has anyone gotten them?

I can’t comment on this particular sweater but I love Zadig and Voltaire. I have lots of their tees and a couple of sweaters and jackets. The fabric it usually great and they are always a little edgy style wise. This looks like a great price for one of their sweaters. The clothes look much better on than in pics. I find them true to size.

So, I am pretty new to shopping at Nordstrom and this was my first time buying at anniversary sale, so I apologize if this is a common knowledge but I ordered a couple items right after the anniversary event opened to the public and just this afternoon got an email saying most of my orders were cancelled. Find it weird since items were available when I purchased them and a day later when I went back to check. Find it weird that they cancelled my orders 4 days after out of no where. Is this a common occurence at Nordstrom? Just a little bit pissed that it took them that long to just tell me they are cancelled... usually when I shop online, items are already shipped by day 4.

I’m in the same position and really disappointed and annoyed by it. I haven’t watched for restocks because I was able to place orders and they didn’t cancel.

I have tried it on. It looks silly because it is too oversized. The grey one was drab by and the leather did not feel right.
The one in fabric is really, really pretty. However I noticed that the display ones had some loose threads.
I am still debating ordering it, though.

My order for the Barefoot Dreams Cozy Chic Luxe Long Sleeve pajamas got cancelled over the weekend. It was probably my top wish list item too so boo! However, the Barefoot Dreams Namaste set popped up in my size (well, I sized down based on recommendations) this morning so I quickly ordered it. Fingers crossed it doesn't get cancelled as well. IF it does, then I'm done stalking these two Barefoot Dreams sets because it's exhausting. I have a few more orders to arrive and then I will access what I'm keeping vs. what is going back. I know for sure I'm returning the Teva sandals. They just make my feet look like Fred Flintstone. One of my favorite items so far is the Zella wrap jacket. I sized down to XS (from my normal Small in Zella) and I think it's well worth the sale price.

Can you send your returns back together if it’s different orders or do I have to package it all separately? Sending back quite a few items that just didn’t scream me.

I had a friend try this about two years ago. She sent back about a dozen items but was only credited for about nine. Sorry I can’t remember the exact details. She had no way to prove what she sent. It was a huge mess. While it’s a pain, I would recommend sending each separate and keeping the tracking number for each. The way things have been this year in general with things getting lost in transit and Nordstrom disorganized you stand a better chance of things going smoothly.

Thank you, this is very helpful! I may order sooner rather than later as I know the shipping time will still be long hah!

I second this. Also, do each one through the system and not just using the return form in the box. I used to do this years ago before I joined this forum and realized how I was leaving myself with no defense if something went wrong.

I send multiples back in the same box all the time. I do make sure return sheets are matched up with the items and checking them off online does help. I keep the return stub of what I returned and I snap a picture of the outside label and get a receipt from the post office. I have personally not had an issue yet. But definitely do what you feel comfortable with.

Remember that you also have the option of returning some Nordstrom merchandise to NR. IIRC there are exclusions, like fragrance/beauty. Returning to NR has been convenient as there are two within 15 min of me while the closest Nordstrom is ~40 mins away.

Some of my orders have “start a return” but not all. I don’t know why though. One of my orders I sent back via USPS didn’t have it. I hope everything gets processed correctly.
