Anyone have any legging recs to replace Zella? (Not even necessarily NAS finds.) I bought them last year but ended up returning them all, the Live In material was not the same as the ones I had purchased circa ‘16/‘17 (still going strong, just wanted more) - it was more synthetic, if that makes sense. They also seem thinner.

I like Onzie high rise midi leggings. Not all Onzie leggings, that specific one. I teach group fitness, and they don’t budge. And I am 5’2, good length for me.
 
Below are some things that caught my eye. I love seeing what we all think might be good picks vs influencers (though there are a few good influencers, I just like our conversations better!)

would love to hear others experiences with some of the brands below as well!

The slippers are cute and affordable - I keep wearing my BFD slipper socks down to the bone. Am also into bringing a 70’s vibe into my wardrobe this fall so may try a few boot cut jeans, please feel free to talk me out of this

I’ve been on the hunt for nice turquoise earrings and these might do it. I don’t need it but for others this Tory bag is very cute!

I got these joggers at an end of season sale in 2019 in an army green color and they are such a great fit and easy to wear out and pair with different tops. I love this teal color but hate that they’re cargo pants (mine are just joggers), however I’ll still try them. I highly recommend to others who like this style or want to try it. The styling on the model does not do them justice.

love this belt (all leather) and a chic top at an affordable price.

a very easy and affordable summer dress!

I love blazers - not for everyone but I love them. Love the color of the IRO one, not totally sold on the boucle. The Smythe one is gorgeous but very pricey - yet still unique and beautiful. Someone buy me this, a horse and a nice glass of red and let’s meet up a bonfire in October y’all!

Can't talk you out of bootcut bc that's all I wear, and some flares. They go so well w platforms and make your legs look super long with the high waist.

I think Wit & Wisdom gets their proportions right in their designs so would recommend trying them. In addition to the ones from Joe's and Paige, I'd suggest checking Frame and Lagence. Jeans really require lots of trying on to find best fit for your body.
 
For flare jeans my favorites are from Frame, but I also own Rag & Bone and Good American. All of which I recommend. With my Covid weight I find I have to wear something that elongates my legs to offset the girth I currently have :annoyed:

I agree with those who are feeling Meh about the preview. Where is all the Rag & Bone, Veronica Beard, Eileen and even Nordstrom Signature?! I feel like there is a lot double breasted items, and puffy shoulders, neither of which flatter my broad shoulders.

I couldn’t even find a pair of boots I need.

The good? I may have to grab the mini cat Clare V bag, the Ted Baker nylon backpack is cute even though I don’t need one, I really like it. I’ll pick up the Veronica Beard hoodie, and finally I think I’ll try the Reiss camel coat.

I think the most stalked item might be the Coach circle bag.

+ Some of those Moonlight Comfort Tees. I'm not sure about the Spanx bra, I want to try one of those comfort bras, not sure which one.

ALSO- I am impressed by the pricing of the Michele watches.
 
Hmm I’m really tempted to buy this jacket https://www.nordstrom.com/s/bernardo-spessa-leather-moto-jacket/5895581?origin=category-personalizedsort&breadcrumb=Home/Anniversary Sale/Women/Clothing/Coats, Jackets & Blazers&color=201

BERNARDO Spessa Leather Moto Jacket

However it’s kinda pricey but I mean I find it lovely I just can’t decide on a color. The brown draws me in but I wonder if taupe is more everyday wear friendly? Idk but I’m kinda loving this and maybe some shoes and sunglasses.

With a whopping 36 petite options - a majority pants and a couple sweaters - I definitely won’t be finding a black dress at this rate unless they add more :P Some of their dress offerings are really cute, but they won’t look good falling 4 inches lower on me than the model. Halogen, a petite mainstay, has 3 items…a top, a cardigan, and knit leggings.

Here are a couple cute casual ones I was looking at. You know I’m going to buy at least one and be sad when it hits my ankles and I have to return it lmao

Thank you! I don’t have any experience with Wit and Wisdom so appreciate your insight! I have a feeling I’ll have to be trying on a lot of jeans to get the right fit.

I feel you about the petite options. At 5’1, it’s already a challenge just to find something that fits while not looking like it was designed for a 90 year old about 20 years ago…
*no offense meant if anyone was 90 in 2001… ;)
 
This NAS I am looking at specific must haves:
1) Tie coat (prefer neutral)
2) layered jewelry (selected a necklace prior to sale that is included and I can’t buy now)
3) 1 pair of shoes- Steve Madden mule
4) Blazer (2)—
5) undergarments-bra/undies
6) Laura mercier translucent powder
7) necessaire set (treat for self)
8) Dresses (1-2)— office appropriate
9) fashion purse— Clare v snake crossbody??!

I am plus size so everything is limited. I am aiming for functional and polished wear that is not trendy. I have to look in my closet to confirm my trouser and pencil skirt situation, but I have black in both of those too.
I will link some items I found in preview once I figure it out.
