I took a hard look at what I bought and had a hard time deciding what to keep and what to return, ended up returning 15 items. I'm thinking about returning a few more things, just because how much I spent and if I really need them or not. I logged into my Nordstrom account and seeing my balance I'm second guessing what I kept and what needs to go back. I have used one of the make up palettes, and keeping a few things for upcoming birthday gifts, but everything else I am thinking is it really worth that much, or would I be better buy a new bag!! LOL

My final NAS item arrived late yesterday and sadly it is a return. This is the Vince camel coatigan in size S. My overarching concern is how spongy the material feels. It seems more nylon than wool, and is huge. If I liked the material, I’d size down to a XS but overall I’m in the this-is-all-wrong camp. For reference I’m 5’4” and wear a size 6/8 dress. I’m wearing a linen tshirt and bike shorts underneath.

I tried it with a leather obi belt:

It’s a little crooked, but you get the idea.

All of my orders have finally shipped. Once item was canceled. I know the sale is over but the items that I have gotten and like are these joggers. I got a small for me and a medium for my boyfriend, they are very soft and long enough for me - I'm 5'10.


I got this zella jacket, Im going to take this one back, I just like the fit of the first one better. I also like the two jackets in one. Im keeping this Zella hoodie again, so soft and comfy. I didn't like the fit of these joggers, they are to short on me.


Still waiting on this robe/cardigan, I want to wear it while i get ready for my wedding and then afterward, this sweater that matched the joggers that I'm not keeping so not sure if it is a keeper or not.

If you have a Nordstrom Visa, check your statements...

I received an email this morning about fraudulent charges. I literally JUST received a new card in June due to 10 fraudulent charges. I checked my card and yep 8 unauthorized charges. They look international for food, beer, and expresspay payments to friends. I called and they’ll be removed, but what’s concerning is they used my new card number, which I’ve barely had 2 months! I’m starting to think this is an inside job in Nordstrom somewhere akin to the stolen notes issue others have experienced.

I think it’s internal. My nordie CC is the one that I;ve had the most fraud on, the worst was someone who tried to charge a 20G vacay 10G at Disney and 10G at universal studios. I basically only use it at the store and .com at this point no where else. It’s happened multiple times and have had it replaced every single time it’s happened.

Interesting. Maybe that’s why Nordstrom allows PayPal payments now, so you can mask your card info? I wonder if using PayPal will count towards points for notes though, since it’s a 3rd party processing service.

I think an employee is selling cc info abroad. The latest charges are again for expresspay, which appears to operate in Ghana and other countries, one charge to Bolt EU, which is like Uber/Lyft. One charge to Beer 52 which is a UK beer club. The CS rep said they had the expiration date on my latest card. I considered cancelling it (bye bye Early Access) but it would negatively affect my credit due to the generous limit.

Love the obi belt. I think I have one just like yours...but I dont think this coat is a good fit for you proportionally, even with a belt. Looks like felted wool, which is more structured, and it emphasizes the already oversized design.

I shouldn’t be surprised that customer services has gone down at Nordstrom with brick and mortar retailers struggling and department stores especially. It’s still better than most retailers but all these stories remind me when Nordstrom was much more reasonable.

I spoke to an employee a few years ago who was being let go. She said it was because she had been with Nordstrom for a really long time and simply cost too much. If that’s the case, then it explains newer and therefore less knowledgeable or caring associates.

I cant help but worry when I hear this. I've experienced fraudulent charges once w my Nordie card and weird things are still happening w online credit fraud and whatnot. Recently, I received a pkg from an unknown merchant. I opened it and it was a top that I never ordered. The invoice is my name, and the shipping address is mine as well. However when I called CS, they told me some person with a billing address in Brooklyn placed the order w their cc. How random is that? My conclusion is that whoever stole my info previously, used another stolen cc # and sent the item purchased to my name and address to do their "test". Since I can't change my name or address easily like a new cc, it's something I have keep mindful of. PSA for everyone to be more aware of their personal data, shredding cc offers, etc.
I did a quick Google and here's an article for a cc fraud ring that stole over 200 million.

I haven't either until now. The heel height and platform makes them very easy to walk in. I will say though - there isn't really any cushion. To be honest, I've found that to be the case in every designer shoe I've tried on. It's odd. But I have those little "ball of foot" gel pads that I'll pop in there for some extra comfort. A cushy sock would probably do the trick too.

Maybe some bombas? I've also never had cushiony designer boots. BV are the only shoes I own that are super cushioned.

Thank you!
I'm actually glad to hear from someone who has these, since there's not much online about them. I'm also relieved to hear that you think they're worth it - I started second guessing myself last night, even though I've had them on my wishlist for a while. I tend to do that with shoes for some reason, even if I absolutely love them!

We all have personal quirks about shopping and spending money. I just returned a whole bunch of things, but I also kept a lot bc I know I may not find something that ticks all the boxes for me later on, even when I do want to spend the $. Best thing to do is not to get buyers remorse and instead direct that energy towards planning your outfits around your shoes and getting your cost per wear.

Question for the Bombas sock owners…
Are the socks worth the hype?

I was able to snag a 6 pack just before the sale ended so I am waiting for them to be delivered. They’re much more expensive than the socks I normally buy so I’m trying to decide if I should keep them or not.

I have a couple of pairs (not from Nordstrom). They are well made and nicely cushioned. They're on the thicker side, a little thicker than I'm used to with ankle socks. The ones I have aren't completely no-show, so I prefer to wear different socks with my sneakers. To be honest, I mostly just wear my Bombas around the house because the thickness keeps my feet warm.
