Can't believe it but I snagged the L'Agence blazer in a size 0 and it actually shipped! I hope it fits. Still waiting on a pair of Ferragamo shoes for DH, the Reiss sweater dress and Mother jeans that popped back to ship. I thought I was done if I got the blazer, but keep finding other things to buy, whoops.

Returned:
Zella live in crop leggings - they're fine but were an impulse buy and don't *need* another pair of athleisure leggings.
Max Mara Leisure leggings - these were weird fabric and terrible fit for me
Commando neoprene leggings - ran so small and didn't love the fabric

Kept:
Tumi Just in Case Nylon Tote - replacing luggage and I like to have a bag like this to stash in my suitcase. Comes in handy for overnight trips or if I shop too much on longer trips :cool:
Briogeo Set - love this conditioner. The spray is nice and not too heavy in my fine hair.
Chantelle underwear - bought my first pair last year and got 5 more this year. So comfy and good quality.
Did you go down one size for the L’Agence blazer? IME they run large.
 
To give credit where credit is due... @joe'sgirl posted a picture of herself in the Primas the day before mine arrived and she had wide cuffed them and they were super cute. I think it's going to be a great trend compromise because I love skinnies and feel wide and dumpy in the straight leg trend (I'm 5'4).
I think AG's aren't as nipped in at the waist as other brands, which is why they're my favorite. Maybe Rag & Bone is more cinched which is why I went up another size? I like to breathe in my jeans. So maybe consider where your weight is (if you have any) when you're trying to guess?
Awwww that’s so nice. :smile: I’m5”2 so I pretty much have to hem or cuff all my jeans. I didn‘t think I would like the straight leg fit but I’ve been pleasantly surprised.
 
Now I went down the rabbit hole of jeans. Has anyone purchased these? Do they fit TTS?

-Prima Mid Rise Ankle Cigarette Jeans
-Le Garcon Straight Leg Jeans
-rag & bone Cate Ankle Skinny Jeans (Pismo)


I wish I could have sized down on the Le Garcon but since they are constantly sold out, there is not much selection on size. I picked up a few pairs of Wit n Wisdom jeans which I absolutely love.

I keep stalking the site in case wish list items that are sold out pop up! :biggrin: Was able to snag the Adidas socks that way.

I still have to try on the French Connection sweater, the Zella relaxed pullover and the live in sweatpants but I expect the sweatpants to fit just fine because they don't seem to change. The Nike sweatshirt I love! I picked up the ghd curling iron too.
Still feel like there might be more to the sale that I am missing ughhh!!
I took my usual size in the prima but had to go up a size in the rag and bone Cate style!
 
I got my Tory Burch Carson slides in black and I love them! I ordered 5.5 and 6, I normally wear a 6, and the 6 was just better, so I would say they are true to size for me.

Also got the Ugg robe in the XS, and found it to be too tight in the arms, and too hot in general. I was hoping for a looser fit, and I usually wear XS in robes as I am very petite. I considered sizing up to size small, but then I found a NWT robe on Poshmark from the winter FabFitFun box for only $20, so I went ahead and got that instead! I already saw the unboxing for this robe on YouTube and it looked amazingly soft, cozy, and with a generous fit.

Keeping the slides and some Natori underwear. Done!

For the Frame jeans are you talking about the Dublin Grind? I ordered my normal size but I'm having trouble with these.The straight leg looks great but they are too loose around the waist. Even if it was available in a smaller size the legs prob wouldn't look the same. So trying to decide if I should have the waist altered or just return. They sold out so quick and I reordered getting 3 out of 4 pairs. Not sure I'm in love.
I'm a Rag & Bone girl with an occasional Frame thrown in. Love the Cate in Pismo! Fit is TTS. I find that Frames are way more stretchy than the R & Bs which I'm not a fan of personally. I like the way R & B pockets look from the back, Frame tends to droop after a bit. Hope that helps.
 
I'm a bit upset with myself that I allowed FOMO to get the best of me. I went into this sale with one intention: Get a new fall coat, hanky panky thongs, and a couple pairs of boots/shoes. I truly did not need anything else. I spent way more than I should have, enough where I would not be able to pay off the full credit statement in time.

I'm going to go through my items today and pick out what I actually needed, and I will keep those. I love coming to this thread but it's also so bad for people like me who struggle with controlling my shopping habits! I'm embarrassed to admit this, but perhaps others are in the same boat and may be able to relate. I'm thinking the only items I will keep are:

* Rag & Bone Dean Coat (I'm still going back and forth between this and the cheap harris wharf coat... This one would definitely keep me warmer)
* Andre Assous suede boots (not NAS item, but I got them price matched for $150 and they are beautiful)
* Blank NYC suede skirt
* Blank NYC Baxter jeans
* Free People swim too deep sweater (kind of debating this one still, it's nice but I already have so many sweaters)
* Hanky Panky thongs
* Sofft carrey sandals
* Schuz myreh sandals (will keep depending how they fit once I receive them)

I have a clare v tote, aquatalia boots, reiss sweater dress, harris wharf coat, and a few other things which I will most likely return. I know that Reiss dress looks so good on me but I have to think realistically with my money. Ugh.

Anyways, just wanted to share somewhere, as embarrassing as it may be!

I feel you. I have a keep pile, a return pile, and a pile of want but don't need. I want a Clare V tote so bad but I have a Frye leather bag that is is my winter purse (which I love) so I can not justify ordering it. Because I know if I order it I will want to keep it!

Look through your closet and see what you have that is already similar. This has happened to me a number of times. I get so caught up in wanting something that I didn't realized I already owned something (sometimes more than one) almost exactly the same.

I had a little bit of this too. Once received, I keep trying things on with other things in my closet and seeing what I have and love already.. There are only so many black sweaters you can love.. Do I really need this, most of the time the answer is no. LOL I work with a keep pile, a return pile and a maybe pile and an OMG my budget thought.
