I went Downtown Portland today for icon sneak peek. They had things out but I wasn’t allowed to browse. My stylist was allowed to pull things for me and I was able to put a few things away to be rung Monday. They already were out of sizes for something’s so I’m sure that many people are doing the same. I am Icon and was last year also and I went on the first day and lots of stuff was out of stock and had to be ordered. Now I know why!
 
Question for other ladies in my size range...I have purchased plus size pants and skirts, but never tops. There are some tops I am looking at that come in both. XXL is listed as 18 (16W) and 1X as 14W-16W. I am torn as to which to order. One is the Nordstrom cashmere sweater (which I feel like I have seen bad reviews on in past sales...anyone remember?) and the other is this 1.State top.

I'm thinking the plus sizes would have wider arms and I should go with that. I honestly I have no idea what size I am these days thanks to COVID (and bad eating and laziness) pounds and not having shopping for clothes in a long time.

Uh oh. What kind of things were out of stock? I usually score everything I want online during Ambassador access, but I wanted to go in store to browse so SAs can get some commission. Then again, it’s rare that anyone offers to help me when I go in store anyway. :P
 
Anybody have any experience with this Wacoal bra? I’m looking for a comfortable wire-free bra. I’ve tried several options, but the bottom always seem to roll up. Thanks!

I ordered it once and returned it. IIRC it just didn't create a flattering look, which unfortunately I am finding to be true of all wireless bras. Yet I am going to keep trying to find one that works!

I saw them setting up at my store and got a look in-person at some things (across the ropes, of course). It sounds like some people get to go in and preview and have SAs hold things to ring tomorrow, but I can never get the time of day from an SA for the most part so I’ll probably just go after work tomorrow to see if anything else catches my eye. If it’s not available, that’s a sign I don’t need it anyway :lol:

A few of my definites so far in beauty are the Slip hair tie bundle , Olaplex set , and Oribe gold lust set.

Shoes so far are the Caslon Miller boots (don’t have a flat lug-soled boot, and these have phenomenal reviews) and On Cloudflow in rock/rose. I’ve tried these on in store and liked them, but they seem difficult to find on sale.

Do I need another Zella Amazing Crewneck? Probably not. But I wore the heck out of my grey one last year and am excited to see it in black. Definite yes for me.

A couple maybes include
*Teva shearling sandal (not practical but look so cute and comfy!),
*Zella Cara hoodie (wish it was a zip up, haven’t found a zip up I liked yet but love Zella sweaters)
*Kendra Scott Liza earrings in gold (just look cute!)
*Jenny Bird century chain necklace (I love it but it’s a little expensive for what it is, will probably try to find on a post-sale price drop)
*Caslon hoodie in rust spice (mostly just obsessed with the color lol, it will probably be another crappy fast fashion sweater but I’m sure I’ll buy it to see)

I may also pick up a couple more pairs of Halogen knit leggings too. I’m sure I’ll be forced to go back to office wear eventually, and these are office leggings haha

I feel like I found more items to be excited about last year? But I think that was after I went in store and tried them all on. We shall see!
 
Does anyone have any experience with the Sorel Joan of Arctic wedges? I've always looked at them over the years but never purchased. This is my favorite version so far. I have a pair of waterproof/cold weather boots, but though these would be nice when I don't want to wear something as heavy-duty/rugged. Any thoughts?
I have several pairs of Joan of Arctic wedges and love them all. I have the same version as these from 2 years ago and they've held up very nicely. They look cute with my workwear as well, which comes in handy living in the NE.

I don’t have this specific style, mine are the lace up version, and I love them.
i live in Texas so don’t need that many lug sole boots, and dress in pants suits for work otherwise I would have added another pair. If I was in jeans or leggings I would totally wear these on daily in winter regardless of snow on the ground or not.
