Received the Longchamp Le Pliage Neo 18-Inch Nylon Travel Bag in the Taupe color. All in all, I'm pleasantly surprised with this one! The color is absolutely gorgeous and just what I was hoping for--the taupe is the perfect blend of brown/grey/green and a really elevated, elegant neutral. I love the thickness/comfort of the shoulder strap--and the horse logo detail on it is really something special! Size is generous and this will be perfect for weekend getaways and overnight work trips. The only disappointment is that it is made in China, not France. But I half expected that after reading about other Longchamp bags purchased in this year's NAS.

(This was my 3rd order of this item. 1st one cancelled, 2nd is still "getting ready". Hopefully that one eventually gets cancelled. Otherwise that will be a return).

Impulse ordered the Schutz Myreh Block Heel Sandal in Honey Beige Leather when it popped back in my size (7.5)--I blame you, PurseForm! I was absolutely shocked when this actually shipped. Hope I like these in person!
 
I didn't order this skirt but I'm on the shorter side too (5'4") and a similar one with less of a slit worked as a midi for me. It's the Caslon ribbed sweater skirt. I also got the matching hoodie and they couldn't be softer or more cozy. Zero itchiness. Love the diagonal ribbing on the hoodie too. Thank you to whoever posted about this many pages back because I ordered based on your post and ending up loving these!
Thank you! I’ll see if it’s available in my size. I really like the midi with slit trend, but such a challenge to find one.

I got my myreh heels and love them! They are comfortable and very easy to walk in :).
 
After my first order was canceled, my stylist was finally able to track down the Reiss dress for me! I ordered the XS, but I think I could have easily sized up to the small. For reference I am 5‘ 10“ 130 lbs. I threw on some Sam Edelman suede boots from last year's NAS to try with it. Now just need some cooler weather!! :smile:

That cardigan never should’ve made it back into inventory. Makes you wonder if they even inspect the merchandise.


I haven’t seen these in person but based on the reviews and your comment about the elastic waist, they sound like a return. The palazzo/wide leg pant is somewhat trendy and you may be able to snag them on deeper discount in the fall. I guess I’m biased bc my MIL scored a pair of silk pants at NM last call for $20.

I don’t see the wide pant as trendy, I was a 90’s kid so I mostly wore wide “skater” pants and boot cut/flairs. The waist band dose irk me. That is an insanely great deal your MIL got.

The rolling waist is enough to return them let alone the other issues you have listed. Is does not sound as though you will feel great in these so I would say return. When we all buy new things we should be dying for a reason to wear them, be excited and feel good in them.

Last night I was out for dinner in a friends house and I wore a blouse I bought two years ago. I got so many compliments. It was expensive at the time but I love it. Do you think you will reach for those pants in two years and be excited going out?

When trying new styles or shapes it can be daunting. It’s hard to look at ourselves in different ways. So when I want to branch out I find it helps to go into a store so you can try different versions of a look to determine if you like it. Also that is a good time to get an appointment so someone can help you navigate a fresh look. We do not all suit every style and that’s okay. You deserve to feel good in your clothes...

The waist band dose irk me. I love the look and the feel (very comfortable and lightweight) of the pants but they definitely need to be altered if I kept them. I don’t feel like I would have enough places to wear them. I wouldn’t wear them too work they would be ruined and I wouldn’t feel too comfortable wearing them around the house because I have cats.

Vince has some cojones charging $545 (full price) and expecting me to handwash this coatigan. It feels thick and plush in my fingers but itchy against my neck. This is a small:

Grey is not my color. I’m glad I decided to buy last year’s Theory glen plaid trench because it was cheaper than this coatigan. I’m hoping the camel looks less bathrobe-y but right now it looks like both may be returns.

I didn't like the grey on me either but I love the black so maybe you will like the camel more!
 
I got my olive Rails button up and I think I like it. It is so wonderfully soft. The sleeves are way too long so I will have to get it altered if I keep it. What do you guys think about the lightning bolts? My partner doesn't like them but he likes the color of the shirt overall. I think the lightning bolts are kind of cute.

I have the same one and love it. Just roll up the sleeves for now.

You just need a wider belt to give it a defined waist. Do you like its oversized look on you?

I'm packing up returns and feeling incredibly frustrated. I always order multiple sizes, but this year, between shipping delays, cancelations, and placing new orders out of fear of other orders being canceled, I ended up with more multiples this year than my usual NAS. If items had shipped more quickly, or if there had been more stock in store, I wouldn't be making so many returns. I really hope that Nordstrom takes a long hard look at how this year's NAS went and tries to make some changes for next year.

I also feel bad because by the time I return my purchases, the sale will have ended - my closest store is an hour away, and I don't have time to make the trip tomorrow. So other people are going to miss out. Booooo.
