Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2022

I ordered both the AllSaints denim moto and the Reiss leather jacket. I love them both and have no quality issues with the zipper on the denim jacket or the smell of the leather on the Reiss jacket. Both are TTS for me.

When I first got the denim one, I debated whether I really needed it. However, a blogger posted about that specific jacket (Laura on The Mom Edit) and mentioned how it would be a great piece for coated denim/leather pants. I think that was such a good point and made it even more of a keeper for me. I think it's going to prove even more versatile than I originally thought. (Here is the link to the blog article if you're interested: https://themomedit.com/style-women-...veronica-beard-chelsea-boots-nordstrom-laura/).

This year's sale has been a really good year for me. I have purchased more items than I have in years. I'm finding items that fill gaps in my wardrobe (that I didn't even know I had) and which pair with items purchased in previous NAS years. I've had good luck on popbacks. I know there have been a lot of differing opinions about the sale this year (and in reviews). Just figured I'd add one more perspective to the mix if it was helpful.

I subscribe to the mom edit and enjoy Laura's style.
 
Okay first up the two allsaints jackets…

Caden 8 from tearex and denim balfern. Both very comfy! Probably could size down but I HATE tight jackets. They have to comfortably pass the hug test.

And the Z&V!

Sweater is sz.S and plenty oversized. Stars are iridescent rainbow :nuts:

Rock jacket is oversized. This is M. The S fit too but the hips were just slightly fitted enough when zipped that when I raised my arms it didn’t hang back down nicely when I put my arms down. I don’t want to have to tug it down.View attachment 5574105

I love all on you, agree that if you had to drop one, I'd drop the denim Balfern.

And WOW does that cardigan run big. I've been eyeing that same one and waffling on it, but if I go for it, I think it would have to be the XS since I'm shorter than you IIRC.

I'm wondering if I should try the L in that cardigan... might work for my plus size self if it's oversize enough. I just like it so much...
 
Here are some snaps of the expandable LC in pebble (light grey). I would’ve named this color “oyster”. Depending on the light it ranges from silvery to cement grey. I’m unsure whether to keep because I think the light color will show scuffs easily, but I remember admiring a woman’s expandable LC in a similar color while shopping prepandemic (hers did have a noticeable pen/dark mark in the nylon).

It’s a bummer the price went up on these but I don’t think the quality has declined. I compared this one to my 2020 orange and 2021 plum expandables and they feel the same to me. No difference in the thickness of the nylon or the feeling of the leather straps. Zippers are still YKK. I personally think that LC makes the LP line in China and finishes them in France anyway to earn the MIF tag, so the labeling means little to me. I would hope for the pricier lines (cuir LP, VF, Roseau) that MIF means MIF. I think some of the reviewers are prejudiced and think their bag is of inferior quality bc the tag says MIC.

We have one week left ladies. I need NOTHING about felt I needed to order the following ‘just in case’.

Here is what I have coming:

All Saints Shacket, I was able to try this on in store and keep thinking about it. It’s fully lined, warm a good weight and doesn’t overwhelm me at 5”3. I kept thinking I should have bought it, so I wanted to order before the end of the sale. I ordered a size 6 which is not my normal size, I’m usually a 10 for tops.

All Saints Grey Boot I ordered these in a full size up in grey. I thought they would pair well with the Shacket above. I previously ordered the caramel in my regular size 8 and not only is the caramel a taupe color but they were too small. Hoping the grey will work.

Nordstrom Signature ivory hoodie. I love the olive I purchased so I’m thinking the ivory will be good. I just hope it’s not see through.

Reiss Camel Coat I ordered this in an eight. I don’t have high hopes for it because I think it’s going to overwhelm my frame.

All Saints tshirt ordered this in a six. I’m hoping it’s not too small. Loved the review earlier in the thread.

Theory Silk Cami ordered this. I’ve been on the hunt for a cream cami for years. Not sure this will be the one but I wanted to try.

Lastly, these Vince Leggings. Loved the review left in the thread earlier. I hope I ordered the right size. I was so impressed with the quality of the other two pieces I ordered.

Happy shopping ladies!
 
My Reiss leather jacket order was cancelled again yesterday morning - this is the second time. It showed up again early this morning in my size and I bought it and immediately called Nordstrom customer service to find out what store it was coming from. I called the store, talked to their fulfillment center and asked them to go onto the floor and pull the jacket before it sold out again! He found it, pulled it for me and I should get a tracking number today.

After reading @tearex review, I sized down. Fingers crossed it fits! (just thought I should've asked the fulfillment guy to smell the jacket for any dye or leather tanning odor but that would probably be a bit much :lol: )

This is so smart! I'm going to try that next time if there is something I really want.
