I just realized I can add to wish list from the detailed screen so now I wonder if it was just a glitch from the launch overnight

Yeah wish list seems to be working now. We were just too early.
I didn’t make it through everything but the item I did see were not the best. While I’m glad 90s lug sole is sticking around another season there are a lot of trendpieces that we really don’t need to relive!!

Ooooh great! Was it the same as the grey one this year? Thank you!!
Even though I'm not overly excited about too many of the offerings this year, I still managed to add a few thousand dollars' worth of items to my wish list 
Here's what I'm going to do, in case this is helpful to anyone else (like me) who sometimes ends up buying stuff they don't really need:
-- Separate wish list items into "must haves" to order online and "it can waits" to examine/try on in-store (if you have a store nearby). I find that sometimes seeing myself in the fitting room with a thing makes it easier to say "goodbye" than when that same item has already been delivered to my home and then my mindset becomes the hassle of returning it vs. just keeping it for convenience
-- Go through my closet by category and see if my wish list items are actually filling a gap. Example, I put 2 belts on my wish list. If I go through my current belts and end up donating a bunch because they don't work for me anymore, then I would feel justified in buying a new one. If my current belts all fit and are the same colors as the ones on my wish list, I'm going to save that money.
-- For sneakers, I'm going to grab the Mr Clean erasers and get my current sneakers all nice and shiny... will I still feel the need to buy a bunch new sneakers after putting in this effort? Hopefully not!
-- Beauty stuff... I am not buying jumbos or doubles of anything unless I am absolutely running low on that category of product. I do need to replenish my brow serum. I do NOT need to buy 6 ounces of moisturizer or eye cream when I have stuff sitting in my bathroom waiting to be used. These products go on sale year after year and it's best to buy them when you actually need them, because of expiration dates.
Those are my main strategies heading into the sale. Let me know if you have any other tips and tricks for balancing the excitement of the sale with making good decisions

I've only gotten through about 3/4 of the women's stuff so far, but there's a lot of smaller things that have caught my eye. No big ticket item this year, but I'm OK with that. Lots of pants and jackets on my list. I don't really need the jackets, but I've been trying to wear pants other than jeans lately so I'll probably get a few pair. Specifically the Nili Lotan cargo joggers. I have a Paige pair that are similar but I LOVE them and want to wear them all the time.
I'm trying to learn from past NAS and just fill holes in my wardrobe rather than buy any trendy items. That being said, the Cult Gaia Gigi Sandals are MINE. LOL. I have been eying them for awhile so I don't feel too bad about grabbing those, even though they're more than a want than a need. The Veronica Beard Lavaca knee high boots are also calling to me, my old pair of similar boots are Ivanka Tr u mp (apparently you can't write this word here! Whoops!) and need to be replaced. Otherwise, I could use some more Skarlett Blue bras, Hanky Panky thongs and a few Rails plaid shirts. I'm not jumping over the moon at the kids selections, nothing very exciting there. Feels like the same stuff every year.
Did I miss it or is there no Zella Amazing sweatshirts this year? I get those every year. I LIVE in these.
There are really not a lot of sweatshirts at all this year!
Vogue recently informed me that sweatshirts are going out of style and it made me laugh. Is there any other item that EVERYONE - regardless of age, gender, style preferences, etc. - has consistently owned and has worn for their entire life time?! There were a couple cute sweaty betty... I really like that brand. More reasonable on sale and they are really nice quality.
Great ideas!!!Even though I'm not overly excited about too many of the offerings this year, I still managed to add a few thousand dollars' worth of items to my wish list

Added everything to my list just now... My kid is really sick, and I am sitting in the dark in his fuzzy reading corner chair (which is actually quite comfy) working on this important project. At least I have something to do other than doom scroll and listen to him cough and spew aerosols into the air (anyone want to come over and hang out at my house?!)
After complaining last night and acting all negative nancy, I have nevertheless accumulated a wishlist worth $3046. hahahahahaha.....
I LOVE the monica vinader siren green onyx drop earrings. OMG. they might be my top item.

P.S. just in case my sweaty betty suggestion is of interest... they have really good sales (including now), and we are going into one of the biggest sale weekends of the year.
Do they have what I like to call the muppet lining? I live in these as I work from home lol.
Tell me more about this blazer with "Love" on the back.I have only looked at coats and blazers and I’ve seen plenty! The Bernardo brown suede jacket, the Save The Duck hooded jacket, a Pendleton fleece, a blazer with LOVE on the back, and a jacket, quilted I think, by Ralph Lauren. There is a red barn Fluerrete cost that I love but I have a black wool coat from them and do t wear it much. I live in Oregon and it doesn’t get that cold. Alll that and no wine!
I only found 3 items that I like so far. One has just one size left already. This is what I hate about the Nordies Anniversary sale. They let the top tier buy out all the good stuff first. Most will resale on ebay for triple price too!!!!
