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.

Same situation here with returns. My store didn't really have anything I wanted or didn't have it in my size so I had to order everything online and ordered too much because of the issues you noted.

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

ooo I like these styles do you think you can accomplish the same with an oversized sweater? I was thinking of buying a sweater in large because the medium is sold out but im worried itll just eat me up but a belt in the middle of a sweater sound a tad unconventional. I will say and this is a different topic, I love my BFD cocoon cardigan or whatever it was called, I havent washed it i just try to keep it clean lol but its really soft and its like a blanket on my arms I would recommend if you work at a desk that allows something kinda casual because its an upgrade from one blanket on my lap and another around me. I only use it at home but if i needed to id wear it some where like the grocery store.

You can belt sweaters, sweater coats, shackets, shawl cardigans, fur vests, endless options. In my reply post above, I purposely picked the pic of the studded belt over the oversized charcoal long cardigan coat bc oversized is in now. Notice in all the pics of belted oversized sweaters, most are wearing skinny jeans, cigarette pants or leggings so the volume is proportional.

With chunky or patterned knits, I think a thicker belt tend to balance it better than a thinner belt.

If a belt over it isn't working for you, backup is always to tuck and belt over a skirt or pants.

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!!

This looks fabulous on you...

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 got the camel, didn't love it, too bulky/bathrobey on me. returned.

Last day of sale so I thought I'd try this puffer coat. Navy/black combo which will be a pleasant change from my usual all black uniform. Fingers crossed!

Very stylish puffer coat. I think any coat or jacket with mixed media is quite modern. Great for belting too.

... Should I give them a try or let them go?

Your review is less than favorable so just that in and of itself is reason enough to return them. But more then anything, $120 is a fair chunk of change for pants you don’t love. If you keep them, you’re $120 further away from a pair of amazing pants you adore. You deserve better. You deserve—we all deserve—to feel absolutely fabulous in what we are wearing.

Has anybody tried the Moonlight Dream Crop Pajamas? I want to give it as a gift, but I am unsure of sizing.

I didn't buy this years set but the ones I've gotten in the past I went down one size.

I found a lone Vince coat/cardigan hanging in the store and decided to try it on a whim. I was surprised that I actually liked it, though the xl was ridiculously huge on me, completely ridiculous. And I have notes burning a hole in my pocket The L keeps coming back in various colors, but not the M which is what I think I actually need. Wondering whether anyone has tried it in various sizes and whether there is a substantial difference between sizes (i.e. would the L be much smaller than the xl or do I really need to size down to a M or even a S to get a decent fit? I have recently lost a lot of weight, so my sizing is all over the place depending on the garment, but more often a M or L.

I'm a 14/16 or L/XL and have the L and XL in black. For me the biggest difference between the two are that the sleeves are much longer on the XL, otherwise, they look very similar on me. I'm keeping the L. I tried the grey in the same sizes in store and the XL in grey looked visibly bigger on me but for some reason I'm not seeing as much difference with the black.

Thanks so much. I had tried it on in the grey. The M in black and the L in grey just popped up and I ordered both. I certainly would only keep one, and who knows if either will actually ship. I figured I might as well try. I am really more of a Black clothing person in general, grey is riskier in terms of getting it dirty, but it really would look great with a black shirt underneath. I do want it large enough to wear with a bulkier sweater underneath if i wanted.

I also have to say that the photos someone posted above of belted cardigans really have my wheels turning. I have some cardigans that have gotten kind of large on me since I lost weight, and I might just have to try styling them with belts. I'm not a super creative dresser, but I love that look, so thanks!

The belted cardigans have my wheels turning, too. I also lost weight and don't have any belts that fit right now so I want to find a cute wide belt.

I’m kind of hoping everything is a bit better next year. The hopping hassles you all have had make me grateful for all my cancellations!

For those of you interested in the Caslon hoodie/jogger set, it gets my thumbs up. The poor reviews online are due to the oversized fit. I ordered it on the first day of Ambassador access and I definitely had to size down in the hoodie. I am still waiting on the joggers to arrive in a size small so I can compare to my usual size medium that I have now. I know it's not anything super exciting but it fits my casual lifestyle. Since I wear scrubs at work I don't need professional attire. Some of you follow TheMomEdit blog and I do too. When Julieta had a post about knit sets on June 18, I suddenly wanted ALL the matching sweater knit sets. This fit the bill for me.

Completely agree. I ended up order the camel and rust set. Medium for the bottoms and small top. It’ll be my movies outfit for the season. My daughter, husband and I go on the regular.

I ordered this and I really like it but the arms were a bit long on me. I’m only 5”2. The color is beautiful. Hope it works for you.

i ended up going with this one by Save the Duck it says it’s 22 inch but it’s not. I’d say it’s 24. So it sits longer. Really pretty color too and good quality. Looks great with the camel jogger set.
